I think you’re right, but they’re wrong. Trying to establish a communistic regime was never any obstacle for the elite when it came to turning it into a slavery - it can be uses as a tool and guise to do exactly that, as we’ve seen many times before.
Sir, this is a no stupid questions. People of all ages can ask here.
It’s not just about whether anybody cares. He might escallate. He seems crazy enough.
You say the workplace is women-dominated. Are there any women not participating in the drama? Asking because you didn’t mention and, in my experience, there usually are a couple quiet no-nonsense ones. Perhaps they could be more relatable to you.
I understand at some jobs you just don’t meet compatible people and this is the better strategy. But I can’t help but feel it’s a bit sad. I made some long lasting friendships at my job. It all depends on the situation.
This was a fun read, thanks!
The line you’re trying to draw is very arbitrary, so it still feels a bit hypocritical.
I feel like it kind of is. There are surely other investment possibilities. Why choose the one you’re against?
This is a beautiful and thoughtful answer.
It’s not my style but it doesn’t stand out to me. Also, to each their own. So I’d say the answer to your question is the last one you suggested - you’re one of the olds now. Please, try to stay benevolent and empathetic to the younger or just different ones.
Thanks for an interesting recommendation!
They tend to be said in very small writing.
And informed, of course.
I think they meant it as no other partners, not no other kinds of relationships whatsoever.
Yep, sorry. Still I kind of think it’s worth repeating over and over, so treat it as not aimed at you :)
Also please check whether honey bees are native in your area. If they’re not (or if there’s too many of them) it leads to decline of other bee species and threatens other pollinators and rare plant species.
The exact kind of information processing is not necessarily relevant to predicting whether something is conscious. And to talk about animals in general while not including humans is extremely vague and misleading. The concept of other animals than humans being completely instinct driven is outdated. That said, there’s no reason to link being instinct driven to lacking consciousness.
The reflextion test is overestimated. It won’t really tell you much about self-awareness with either result.
Insects are a lot different from mammals. The further the organism is from us genetically, the harder it is to estimate anything about the way it experiences the world. It is reasonable to think there is as much diversity as there is in physical traits.
Yes, authoritarian regimes are the problem, and there’s no system that’s really immune from potentially becoming one. It’s terrifying.
