Futility is resistant
I can see many people could sloth their life away, specially during the transition, but other many will pursue their hobbies, passionately tackle things we deem unprofitable, or just find a job anyway because they want more money.
UBI is meant to be a safety net so no one falls in poverty, not a sum that allows people to live lavishly forever. At least not until the machines generate enough money for that.
Depressing, but beautifully executed.
It’s not capitalism that makes us compete for resources, it’s the natural consequence of not having infinite resources. Plants and animals compete for resources at every level, blaming capitalism is a leap of logic that could reach the moon.
But anyway, it seems like you want people to be anarchical by nature, and are willing to fall into wishful thinking if needed. All I can add is that we grow hierarchical, little children understand the pecking order easily, and they know they’re at the bottom of the ladder, and the parents at the top. The favorite is between, but the grandparents are even higher than the parents. Anarchy is against our nature, and the nature of most social animals. If it is to be abolished, it better be very thoroughly, encause we’ll have to work against our tendencies.
We humans are animals too, more intelligent, but still pretty animalistic. Don’t discount ape instincts as if they didn’t apply to us.
I can only agree with your last statement, encause IMO, people have three natural postures regarding hierarchy in their group:
I agree that apathy can dominate if life has become very comfortable, but a group struggling to survive will naturally form a hierarchy. Practically all human groups throughout history have formed some kind of hierarchy, no need to analyze mandrills.
If you’re going to argue, please don’t make people look up basic stuff, it’s a waste of everyone’s time.
You think too high of Eminem fans, or fans in general. A system that ignores the instinct of humans to follow or lead is doomed to fail without permanent, pervasive, and relentless (re)education. Call it aculturization if you want, but that is dangerously close to fascism.
An ideal education system would teach citizens to recognize these instincts as pernicious and illegal, just as the instinct to, for example, grope an attractive person. From time to time, someone will surely rediscover hierarchies, and that will be a test of resiliency for the New System.
Conversely, empath the fuck up and don’t push your problems on someone who also has them. Both struggles, as minor as they could be, are valid.
I’m going to eat a very spicy burger and play video games for 12 hours straight to see if that starts a class war.
Oh, Ok. I was worried.
Yet they never explicitly state you’re allowed to make convenient assumptions. If the bulb was out of hand’s reach the problem would be unsolvable.
Assuming the electrician that wired the switches is in the room would be even a more out-of-the-box solution.
The biggest flaw is that it assumes you’ll add conditions you’re not explicitly told are allowed. Many, many problems in school would be trivial if changing the terms beyond what’s stated was allowed.
What’s wrong with being selfish? I didn’t want kids, full-time kids are annoying and a huge responsibility. If someone doesn’t desire children, it’s very much ok to dedicate the energy and resources of raising several kids to themselves.
People are selfish, reproducing doesn’t exempt you from being selfish, people can have kids for selfish reasons too.
I admit sometimes I’ve thought it would have been cool to raise a human from zero, trying to make them a good person, and be a demigod to them on their first years because they didn’t know better; but I still think the world needs less people, not more. Since the 70s we were warned about overpopulation and the environment, and we just added another 4 billion people anyway.
Edit: thank you for the correction, kind stranger.
I always wanted to grow a beard, and the confinement was the ideal situation to see if it suited me. Never shaved since then, and I think I never will. Beards are great.
Whatever your place defines as a standard. I’ve seen ugly code in C, JavaScript, Java, etc., that uses them all over the place because they’re not mandatory.
If you don’t have consistent indenting, your code looks like copy/paste from several sources; but if you do have consistent indenting, then the indenting of Python is a non-issue.
This whole genre of comics is so cringe, they’re basically moral outrage click bait with cartoons.
They have this in common:
I don’t mean that the problem isn’t real, but this is a circlejerk with too many cartoonists already. In a few years we’ll be embarrassed of having participated in this trend of imaginary situations while doing nothing IRL.
It would have to be someone who knows him, or something about his style, accessories, or behavior, that emboldened a stranger to assume he was gay. The comic gives no hint at any of this being evident.
Or maybe that guy calls everyone a faggot because he’s always confrontational.
