After spending most of today circling around maxims I appreciate the application. Though I must state that the pic almost had me closing the tab before reading. Here's another venting out, somewhere near Categorical Imperative https:&

Okay, I wanted a Pixel because of GrapheneOS, but thanks Google for wiping that desire.

It's also poverty holding back millionaire consumption. There was a research, which I can't be arsed to google with mobile, that compared western vegan diet and Indian omnivore and, yup you guessed it, the western version was less

I was just saying yesterday that we (Finland) could take the bullet and create a luxury resort for all the zillionaires in the world. Connect them with each other and populate their air-gapped "Internet" with like-minded authorita

We're afraid of the zillionaire tantrums, thus this should be a coordinated effort. I'm seeing it from both sides of the isles that people are being fed up with the overlords. But currently the zillionaire tantrums control the fut

Yup. Make the flyers pay the infrastructure costs based on the environmental effects. It's not too complicated.

Most people on the planet can avoid flying alright. The addicts cannot? Or who cannot? Anyone with money cannot? Homo fricking economicus for you alright.

Yes! Why bother doing anything differently, when the current method has been so perfect for us

Sadly these days this seems like the least worse of the three major regimes.

Root cause is the human biases and lying due to cognitive dissonance? And alcohol is a symptom that's easy to grasp. You’re talking about waterfall management by laws and I’m talking about individual consciousness and the capability of

Yes. 100 percent agree. The addiction industry requires us to be desperate and wanting an escape, so that they can brainwash us into complicity and brain fog from hangover or doomscrollin.

by shrubby 4mo ago
Escape can be done with a lot of things, most of those aren't as harmful as alcohol. Even in substances there are some with very light harms compared to ethanol, but "this is what we've always been doing".

Banning something that has so huge disadvantages, but has been lobbied just like cigarettes is exactly the kind of society I want to live in. But the choice is not mine, so in that way I win. It's a social norm and a poison from my POV

I'm tempted to start the full deontology and Jellinek model on substance abuse on this, but don't have the effort now. If we perform a cost benefit analysis on alcohol the downsides are plentiful and then some. And the pluses are

by shrubby 4mo ago
And the substance abuse is a progressive lying disease so once we figure out "this has gone too far" the threshold for abuse has been crossed a long time ago in most cases. First the close ones see the problem and the individual i

This. In a healthy society there would be no need for intoxicants with so severe harms (BBC list for substances by harm is a good reference) and thus no exposure for a addictive substance. Now the norm decides that, almost without exception

Well said here. We don't have a honest discussion about the progression of addiction so the choices are not visible, until later. The first beer is the most critical choice, yet it's made for us (in 99% of the cases) by our peers.

Seems legit.

Based on what Sarah Wynn-Williams told about Zuck and what we've seen a lot of these state out loud (and know a lot more that have exrepessed this in private) seems that the society is being held hostage by child's who are threate

Bill Hicks had a good advice to the marketing guys: "kill yourself" so I you're onto something here!

Human being, with very few exceptions, is corrupted by power. And a billion dollars is immense amount power. You can make your opponent's life a living hell with a hundred thousand and buy or figure out a way to frame extortion materia

In the times of metacrisis and power concentrated in the hands of few who actively try to fry the world I think what we need is the exact opposite of that. That is what we've had mostly for the last fifty years and look where it has go

I was just gathering a list of global top hundred with their influence relevant spending and boy that was not a pretty sight. At least in terms of normal people.
