Animal fat/milk with the hormones of a different mammal seem to be causing a lot of problems. Planetary and health related. And the low fat milk in the carton is pretty far from natural, where oat milk in example seems to be pretty sim

And the addictive algorithm is not far away from violence. The power asymmetry behind and in the front of the six inch screen is immense.

We have banned heroin so we should be able to ban anything else that's toxic. For us, close ones or even the generations to come. Algorithm, food, intoxicants, anything that has manipulative potential.

The silent majority, also know as the banality of the evil, is waking up. Until masks and Musks we're taken off this year it was possible to pretend that the normal would play into their hands, as long as they stayed silent and played

I think this is not only about Eichmann, but a picture of humanity in general. The obedience to authority that we must be able to challenge to stand a chance. Milgram's or Zimbardo's tests we're somewhat flawed yes, but still

Local wealth tax works to some extent, but some will dodge as long as this is not universal. But universal is what we need as humanity. The will seems to be building up, even in the UK (Polanski) and US (Mamdani, AOC, Sanders). I'm bet

I was just following orders comes to mind. Yes, the complicity is normal. No the complicity isn't right. The banality of evil.

Okay and thanks again. I started reading this and it seems to be a good summary of what I'm thinking. The authoritarian right wingers on both sides of the isle and the banal followers of the autoritarians.

Thank you. This fits nicely in my Kobo curriculum.

I'm thinking about the study by Erich von Holst where few minnows were lobotomised and returned to the shoal. Afterwards these were returned to the shoal and they started dominating. Moral development levels by Kohlberg tell a similar

Yes. Masks are off. And Musks.

The same root cause everywhere . The zillionaires threatening to flee from the taxes. Annex Greenlands, Ukraines... Taking children to pedo islands. Once we'll wake up to the fact that almost every human becomes corrupt when treated w

Yup. Plenty of solutions, but politicians will never make it happen. We calculated that capping personal emissions (mostly doable via peer pressure should we get this moving as normal people) to some top 1 percent 25 metric carbon ton and g

Yup. All the "bricked" cars should have their service software opened. All the old iPads that have perfectly good hardware. ... Planet is burning and the zillionaires have enough zillions already so I vouch for the Mando too.

Protein intale seems crazy. 0,9 grams per kg of LEAN weight is more than enough for normal activity. You don't need to feed the fat any protein as it will only accumulate more fat. And food produces a third of the emissions of humankin

Yup. My intention is to intentionally block whatsapp calls. And to use the oldskool telephone for emergencies. I could have communicated it more clearly.

I'm occasionally keeping my data turned off and am telling everyone "if urgent call me".

Thanks. I'm really starting to hate the slop, it used to be easy to figure out. I learned that the real YF is one of the most faked people these days and YouTube doesn't seem to remove these after his takedown requests.

A nice set of examples can be found in Guido Palazzo's Dark Pattern. “The Dark Pattern by Guido Palazzo and Ulrich Hoffrage teaches us about the power of context, which is stronger than reason, values, morals, and best intentions. It i

Spectrum of moral development mostly IMO. I wrote this just a few days ago here and it applies here too nicely: "Pre-conventional level is the narcissist me-me-me level, that seems to dominate the geopolitics and tech. Conventional is

Okay, this sounds awesome. Co-op is sounding good to me. I'm not too familiar with the communist theory, but I have come to the conclusion that the system doesn't matter nearly as much as the direction. Waterfall communism or capi

I am trying to burn my bridges well enough not to be accepted to the clan of complacent narcissists. I'm well aware of the possible and even unavoidable consequences of the current trajectory. But this is a conscious decision to try to

Yup. In order for the writer not to starve, we must bypass the zillionaires. Send pennies directly to the artist and work for a just society. I'd prefer a complete bypass of the enshittified economy. Replaced with a system that doesn&#
