When people are protected from the horrors of the world they tend to develop luxury beliefs which leads them to create more suffering in the world.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI tend to agree with growth through realism, but people often have the means and ability to protect themselves from these horrors. Im not sure you can systemically prevent this without resorting to big brother shoving propaganda in front of people and forcing them to consume it.
- throwaway48476 2y agoI don't think it needs to be forced, just don't censor so much.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoIsn't that forcing? Who decides how much censorship people can voluntarily opt into? If given control, I think many/most people would opt into a significant amount of censorship.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoConversely, those who are subjected to harsh conditions often develop a cynical view of humanity, one lacking empathy, which also perpetuates the same harsh conditions. It's almost like protection and subjection aren't the salient dimensions, but rather there is some other perspective that better explains the phenomenon.

- throwaway48476 2y agoSeeing too much does cause PTSD. All I'm arguing is that some people love in a fantasy world where bad things don't happen so they end up voting for ridiculous things.
- kdmtctl 2y agoIsn't this a reason for Meta to outsource to countries where people somewhat immune to the first world problems? Aside of corruption and work force neglect?
- throwaway48476 2y agoMeta outsources because it's cheaper.
- kdmtctl 2y agoExactly. Everything I mentioned is decreasing the price.
