He might be providing safety tips, but the biggest safety issue is that they left the door open for him to get in.

People are afraid of being enslaved by something intelligent when we’re already enslaved by unintelligent systems. Capitalism, imperialism, culture, even evolution itself. These forces already control us, reducing our lives to mere mechanical functions. There isn’t a being in control of these systems, but they still devalue us as people. No artificial intelligence will ever dominate us like natural unintelligence.

I always knew women were more metal than men. 👩‍🏭

People who would point guns at BLM protesters aren’t that bright. At least the pistol didn’t work because it wasn’t assembled correctly.

The real question is whether he was feeling envy or attraction?

This is AOT and a lot of the characters join as young teens, so you gotta worry about that boy being underage 🤢

So many of the AOT characters seem like kids tho, just ones who had to grow up fast.

and that’s why we need something more permanent than a fist!

We’re overconsuming more than we’re overpopulated. It’s probably possible to reach sustainability with our current population if we curtailed consumption, but our consumption driven economy would have to change at a fundamental level. We’d need to impose strict taxes on waste and heavily subsidize efficiency while redistributing wealth from the ultra polluting ultra rich.

Overpopulation myths distract us from the real culprits of our unsustainable system. We need to cull the fat cats before we cull the masses. Population control should always be the last resort, while redistribution should always be the first.

They’ve been around before and will stay around after. Pop culture was just borrowing it.

He was less invested in those causes at that point than he was in progressive labor policies. As far as evolution and prohibition go, he had some understandable motivations. Alcohol causes terrible harm and he also worked to improve the conditions that drive people to addiction. Evolution was promoted by social darwinists to justify capitalist exploitation. He was less of a YEC by today’s standards, even if he was wrong.

He didn’t know how much prohibition would fail beforehand, and his opposition to evolution touches on an important assumption people make about nature. Most people assume that something being natural makes it good, but evolution shows how misguided that assumption is.

Evolution is a process fuelled by death, where no individual matters and we are only servants to a soulless machine. We only grow old and die to help evolution work faster. Most suffering serves our genes rather than us as people. Capitalism sucks because of the ways it resembles evolution, turning every element of our existence into a mechanical processes. Evolution dangles happiness in front of us to get us to serve it.

WJB just couldn’t accept that nature is so cruel, that we’re machines produced by a process that only advances through death. Most religious people still need to square this reality with their understanding of a creator deity worthy of worship. I respect the concept of God more as our creation of than as our creator. If it were to represent our common personhood instead of our evolved species, it would actually be worth serving.

I want you to actually interrogate your beliefs, but thoughts and prayers are all you can muster. What more can I expect from someone stuck in the mindset of personal responsibility? I mean, you repeatedly assume that because you don’t know about something already, it must not be real or worth investigating. Can’t win an argument against people who have no motivation to learn or grow 😁

You’d make the worst confidant or therapist too. You don’t listen and you insist on talking down to me. I hope your partner and kids find someone who isn’t a gaslighter, and I hope I never run into you in person 🖕
