Well Ni Hao’dy then pardner 🤠

Wow that is crazy what a twist.

No one actually needs a 4 bed 3 bath house with a 3 car garage and backyard with pool and storage for a bunch of different hobbies, tools and equipment.

It’s just a wasteful use of resources and literally killing the planet because people aspire to this level of consumption.

Very few are ready to have a conversation about what is actually required to avert climate catastrophe.

Even fewer are prepared to give up the things required to actually avert climate catastrophe.

Communists and Liberals are natural enemies!

Like Fascists and Communists!

Or Social Democrats and Communists!

Or Anarchists and Communists!

Or Communists and other Communists!

Damn Communists! They ruined Communism!

Shut up virgin!

Despite all my cage I’m still just a rat in a rage.

No that’s a squid, not an eel.

There is an anime about a S rank adventurer who retires to open a restaurant and gets into shenanigans as he helps sad patrons of his restaurant and former teammates and villains try to get him to unretire.

What’s the special feature you wanted?

There’s two ways I can think of to resolve the problem you’ve proposed off the top of my head:

1. Venerate the people who perform these functions publicly
2. Create an engineered solution to significantly reduce the human labour in maintenance

How many solutions can you think of?

100% people would volunteer to collect garbage.

Community cleanups occur regularly in my local area.

The “No” line from “Would other people be willing to work to create X if they weren’t forced to?” should just directly lead to “Then capitalism is wasting its resources on X.”

Yep donkeys are dope.

One battle after another

It was pretty decent.

Also Civil War was similar in some ways (both movies are a commentary on modern America)

Just another 6 or 7 years and then another person can be at the top of the hierarchy. (This was said 6-7 years ago)

I watched it, interesting video and accessible approach to the topic.

I couldn’t help but walk away from the video thinking about how many kids enter STEM/non-social science degrees at college and get to fully fledged adulthood before the realisation that social science is pretty fucking important and touches every aspect of our lives.

I probably have a chip on my shoulder because of how much everyone shits on social science as a low paid/dead end career but it’s upsetting an astrophysicists opinions about social science seems to be taken more seriously than an actual social scientist (this is more based on her previous video about gravity being a social construct but a lot of social science constructs are weaved into the Fermi paradox video as well).

Lemmy is not representative of the broader population.

I have no doubt there are therapeutic applications for hallucinogens and psychedelics just as much as there are recreational uses for those drugs as well.

My contention is really directed at those who think these are some kind of out of body spiritual hack to “unlock” knowledge.

It smacks of Joe Rogan nonsense.

If it ain’t pointy don’t stick it.

I really object to this idea that hallucinogens unlock some kind of higher plane of existence that can’t be experienced by people who don’t do these drugs.

If it were true that people who did hallucinogens did gain some kind of additional knowledge why is it they aren’t achieving things at some obviously higher rate?

If you want to use recreational or therapeutic drugs be my guest, just don’t come back telling me you’ve uncovered the secrets to the universe…
