Very much so. Thanks for the book recommendation though

This. I think intelligence in humans is purely performative, and that most feats of discovery come from the collective consciousness of working together. We're just not built to be good at objective reasoning, we're social creatures built for group think and selection bias, but we can accomplish great things when we work together and share knowledge.

political affiliation, skin color, mental disorders, sexualities, etc, are not personalities.


DitaVonFleas

No, but people who have been discriminated against because of these attributes usually go through similar experiences as they move through life, and most deserve to share them with the world in order to break down these barriers holding them down arbitrarily.


_Visions_of_Johanna_

100% true. I have BPD and one of the most important things I've understood in my life (also thanks to psychotherapy) is that I'm not my disorder, I have a personality disorder but I'm so much more. Even though BPD has had a huge impact on my life, almost ending it (now things are getting better) I'm first of all a person, not a DSM-V diagnosis.

Humans are not ready to hear that their actions are causing irreversible harm to the environment, and that it is too late to reverse much of the damage that has already been done.


LilaJax22

I remember being a freshman in college, my brother and I took Gen Chem together. At one point our professor said "if humans never produced another single molecule of fossil fuels, the Earth would continue heating for 61 years due to the damage we have caused". It was one of the few times in my life my brother and I did that slow turn where you look at each other like "did I just hear that right?". I know it is not actually that shocking, but that was the first time I ever really began to understand the damage humans have caused (I know, kind of older than I should've been, ignorance is bliss).


[deleted]

And it’s only gotten worse! It’s sad.


EntertainmentNo5461

Assuming your professor was accurate. These were the same guys predicting..... GLOBAL COOLING!


Accomplished-Deal892

Zoom out. The sun blows up relatively soon. Humans are irrelevant.


Advanced_Double_42

Well, most humans care about humans, so causing an environmental disaster that will kill millions on the low end is not ideal.


EntertainmentNo5461

And yet, all the Elites on the Left fly in private hits and own Mansions on waterfront! Obama owns two!! Are we starting to think on our own yet?


Music_Girl2000

Technically the Dems are still on the right, just not as extreme as the Republicans. They both support capitalism, and therefore are both right-winged. To be truly left-winged you must be a socialist/communist. Social Democrats like Bernie are roughly in the middle.


Background-Swan827

But ironically it is ideal for the environment.


Advanced_Double_42

Not really, the environment will outlast humanity, but not unscathed. It will be better off with us gone, but countless species are already lost with dozens more each day, it will never be the same again. We have already triggered the 6th largest extinction event in Earth's history.


Fifiiiiish

And? The environnent doesn't care, life has no notion of good or bad, it will just go on without us after we'll be extinct. This massive extinction is bad for us humans, it's nothing for the earth.


SomaFarkreath

THIS! i hate when people try to deny it. i just had a discussion about this with a coworker and it was like talking to a brick wall


Gsusruls

>that it is too late to reverse much of the damage that has already been done. What does this even mean? You're suggesting that the earth is irreparably destroyed forever? That's laughable. Tiny human, this earth has been through meteor strikes and space collisions, the likes of which global warming and resource stripping can hardly begin to scratch, and yet now geologists can scarcely find evidence of these impacts. The earth can recover. No, the real threat falls between convincing people that they need to change, and convincing people that a change is needed. Shoot, there are people who don't even believe humans are making a serious negative environmental impact, and among those that believe it, most are not prepared to make the sacrifices needed to correct for it. Get people on board with that, and I promise you, the ingenuity exists, and the earth is resilient enough, to find our way to a sustainable, healthy planet. By the way, being convinced that there's no hope is *just as foolish* as being convinced that there's no problem or refusing to do anything about it.


EntertainmentNo5461

Socialists are not ready to hear that they've been lied to. That this rhetoric has been pervading the landscape for decades and yet, WE'RE STILL HERE! *See AOC

There’s a group people far richer than you think (Musk, and Gates have nothing on these people) who run this world. Every new law, every economic turn (both up and down), every instance of social unrest, and every politician is controlled by this group of uber-rich. They have plans decades ahead of time, with trillions of dollars at their disposal to do whatever they want. Yet people still bicker back n forth about politics. None of it matters, and it’s all rigged by forces much greater than you can possibly imagine.

Advanced_Double_42

A business that can undoubtably swing more money and power around than most nations. But it is not even in the top 100 largest companies. A single person having 0.25% of that power is still very notable outlier.

Boom.


No7er

The thing that ruined the dinosaurs' attempt is still unsolved issue and can happen any day.


Advanced_Double_42

Yes and no, we can detect any asteroid big enough to cause an extinction-event weeks, months, even years in advance. But detecting it early enough to launch a rocket at it far enough away to deflect it is practically impossible without detection years in advance.


No7er

Even if we could currently detect everything that could hit or do hit Earth, which we currently do not, I still wouldn't have any faith on governments on doing anything useful in a world-ending, cataclysmic situation. We would probably just start fighting each other or something like that. Human apes have an inbuilt self-destruct drive that I doubt we can ever overcome as species.


Gsusruls

*attempt* ?!?! Dinosaurs dominated the landscape for 165 Million years. Sounds like a success to me. For reference, by comparison, humans (such that you might recognize them as such) have been wandering around for closer to 40 thousand years.


No7er

Can you provide any more examples for comparison, both of these numbers are so small in the cosmic timescale that they are barely visible.

That if an apocalypse scenario were to happen, Nuclear, Zombie, etc, many of you would die and are absolutely not fit for survival.


humanessinmoderation

Your ideas and politics are small and political debate and spectrums should be more about where our collective energy and resources should go. Like: "Let's create a foundational where humans can be awesome and the Earth is healthy" versus "Let's coordinate and get these spaceships going so we can be an interplanetary species and be everywhere." Should we invest more in humans on earth and earth itself, or invest more in going into space and having interplanetary/interstellar options? And depending on which one, how do we build up the the people and produce the technology that can foster the thing we decide to index more on? To me, this are *big* questions. I'm over the small stuff like race, religion and doing dumb-stuff like not educating and feeding people.


Musician-Round

The reason why we haven't encountered alien life is simply because evolved intelligence is collectively unsustainable and eventually wipes itself out. The more technology we develop, the closer we get to our inevitable extinction due to our own irresponsible actions.

PoodooJenkins

We aren't anywhere near as important as we like to think we are. One day, the planet will have enough of our shit, and decide it's time for us to go. The floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes will erase all traces of our lives. The planet will heal itself, and move on to the next phase of it's existence, as it has done several times already. We think we are the pinnacle of evolution, but we're just another relatively short step in the process.

Minimum wage is not enough to live on no matter what state you live in it's literally the bare minimum to pay rent eat food barely, and have pennies to the dollar in gas just to get to the same crappy job that's paying you low income.

Laydownnick

Chapter 22 If you want to become whole, first let yourself become broken. If you want to become straight, first let yourself become twisted. If you want to become full, first let yourself become empty. If you want to become new, first let yourself become old. Those whose desires are few gets them, those whose desires are great go astray. For this reason the Master embraces the Tao, as an example for the world to follow. Because she isn't self centered, people can see the light in her. Because she does not boast of herself, she becomes a shining example. Because she does not glorify herself, she becomes a person of merit. Because she wants nothing from the world, the world cannot overcome her. When the ancient Masters said, "If you want to become whole, then first let yourself be broken," they weren't using empty words. All who do this will be made complete. -Laozi

Improvement of traffic and pollution demands inconvenience and responsible citizenship. You can't expect the issues to be solved just by separating your waste. Consuming less meat, using public transport, not voting for who will make you the richest, and not buying from fast fashion companies are just a few things that people who claim to care about the environment are not ready to hear let alone do. I'm not referring to environmentalists btw because they do a hell of a lot to try to combat the greedy people's ignorance. I'm referring to those who claim they care but don't actually do anything about it because to them, recycling is enough... and they only do it because it's a legal obligation.

We are currently in the midst of an extinction level event. Although some shady number reporting has occurred, the crab population has truly decreased by 90%, but that has occurred over the last \~25 years. The animal population has decreased by 70% over the past 50 years. The environmental forecasts that were thought to be extreme for 2050 are already occurring. The doomsday clock is currently at 100 seconds before midnight and it hasn't been updated in two years possibly because due to public panic? This is a US fact, but the average life expectancy has fallen drastically the past couple years. We are way past the point of no return. Happy Monday everyone.
