This is sort of like if snapchat altered the faces of the people who look into its camera to make them more attractive to match what they look like in their own heads. The correct way is to not fuel delusions about the individual and get everyone to reach a consensus about the real world that we all live in. But if snapchat presented reality they probably wouldn't have a market either.
- lukeqsee 7y ago> get everyone to reach a consensus about the real world that we all live in. I think that’s the point. This is impossible. The only way the entire world agrees on every single boundary is, barring world peace another way, a single world government. That’s simply not the world we live in or do business in. Also, this isn’t, shall we say, dressing up the pig. It’s two, potentially legitimate, competing claims to the same piece of ground. There is, in many cases, not a single “this is the valid claim.” And perhaps the fact we’re fighting over how the lines are drawn is an indication things are better than they used to be? (Because those competitors aren’t all at war over those lines and we aren’t drawing them all as war zones.)
