- AnarchismIsCool 2y agoWell, that is the ultimate philosophical rabbit hole. If everyone is doing better objectively but have been hammered with propaganda so much that they subjectively believe they're doing worse, how do you square that? I'd argue there's an easy solution in getting rid of the propagandists that are making everyone sad, so twitter, facebook etc.
- tokioyoyo 2y agoAgreed, it’s a rabbit hole, so nobody is right. I’m just on the camp of — if people feel that they’re worse off than before, then telling them how “they have to feel better because of objective facts” won’t cut it.
- laidoffamazon 2y agoCoddling people for being wrong doesn’t seem like a scalable solution here.
