A lot of people answering this struggle to understand what highly-specific means. I’m looking to, for the sake of experiment, highly-specific advice that gives a reader clear understanding of what they should do. Unlike the vague advice, on the contrary, that may be too abstract to get implementing it right away....
As we’re talking about this topic in this context… what’s the evidence base?
I think the class system across the globe backs up what you’re saying.
Not sure there’s any evidence it can be different though, makes sense hypothetically, I’m not convinced it isn’t more fundamental.
The people in power who look like they’re shaping the system are perhaps just playing their role in that system too, just like the large pool of labourers.
Moral premises are often based on a felt sense rather than evidence, the should of them represents a preference which is subjective and derived from context such as environment and culture rather than evidence.
We have reached the point in the discussion where to move forwards we need to define terms.
By rational in this context I think what I’m meaning is a choice based on evidence which indicates that a given course of action is likely to result in the outcome intended.
Like how if my neighbour parks on my front lawn, my immediate response is to smash his car and the rational response is to talk to him calmly. Evidence suggests that being the bigger person there would be more likely to protect my lawn and property, even if morally I would have the right to be angry and express that.
See title. For those who don’t know, the Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where a large group of people remember something differently than how it occurred.

Southern Nevada is in the grip of one of the worst droughts it has experienced in recorded history, leading to water shortages and restrictions on use. So, in water-stressed areas such as this, the prospect of wringing water from thin air is an appealing prospect. And it is exactly what Cody Friesen is trying to do....

I’ve been driving an automatic since I passed nearly a decade ago. In that time whenever I tell anyone I drive auto, it’s usually met with some level of derision. I think that attitude is changing, but I’m still kind of confused by it in the first place....
Speaking purely for myself, not just my countrymen, I didn’t want to learn how to drive an automatic because then I wouldn’t know how to drive a manual.
Now I’ve got years of experience with a manual I’d have no objection to owning an automatic

My original point was about the likelihood of Palestine being destroyed shortly after being recognised by the UK government.
Do you share any of my concerns that Israel might be emboldened by achieving it’s explicit and implicit aims in Gaza which results in increased pressure on the West Bank?
Given the threats to the integrity of that space which is relevant to a sovereign nation which you mention, I think it’s reasonable to be concerned on that point.

Expecting humans to live rational and evidence based lives is an irrational position not supported by evidence.
