If a crush of you is asking for nudes, maybe you should reconsider if the person is really that great. Asking for nudibranchs, on the other hand, would be an indicator of a much nicer person :)
But who are we to judge when shoplifting is appropriate or not? Also, if you are shoplifting to spite the capitalist system, you are doing society a favor. If you are shoplifting in a small self-owned store that is struggling itself, this would be less than ideal. But all other large corporate-owned shops are ethically OK to shoplift imo.
All I found about that gitlab incidence sounded like it was one single event and more importantly that they’ve learned from it. So I don’t get the critique there. But yeah, apparently they’ve had a security hole a few days ago.
I get your point. But isn’t it in the interest of large tech companies that their users stay as unknowing and uninformed as possible? They don’t want you to know how to actually tinker with their systems, how to change stuff yourself or have any control over technology at all. The more docile people are, the better they can sell their products (both the actual product to the people and the people’s data to their consumers). And so there are those people who are not OK with being on a dumbed-down system because they want to know how it works and have control over it, so they go over to Linux.
This is not too different from modern cars that no one can really repair on their own. Consumers are totally dependent on the company producing the car. And planned obsolescence can be implemented even better in a system that is out of the control of the user.
Another point is that huge tech companies often have the most comfort and ease in their products. Yeah sure, they have the means to make it so. But this automatically makes leaving these platforms/products so much more uncomfortable. Consumers are already so uninformed but dependent on tech that they would obviously stir towards the more comfortable situation.
Using tools (be it digital or manual) you can actually control sure is more work and has a certain learning curve. No one denies this. But from a political standpoint I think it is important for people to have control over the tools they use, over their own life. Let’s not allow capitalism to take away even more freedom and control from us as it already took.
While I agree in principle with you (except for where a socialist state is basically capitalism?!), I disagree very much with your condescending tone. The other person you were commenting on has obviously not got what you meant and you dismissed them outright as a tankie.
I just listened a bit into the video until the guy talked about that the means have to be in line with ends. If you are a prick like this to other people enjoying your power of knowledge over them you definitely won’t get to a compassionate community free of hierarchies. Same goes for the guy in the video, reeking of male privilege.
So why not give people a chance to learn something? (Except if they are trolling of course.)
Other people already commented that ADHD symptoms usually are experienced by neurotypical as well but that the degree differs.
To give an example: I tend to get really sucked in in some stuff that interests me, spending hours on end learning something new etc. Often to the point that I postpone to go to pee or eat etc. But if I have to learn something I’m not interested in, it often gives me mental discomfort. I feel tired and like I cannot pay attention to anything. Once that annoying thing is out of the way I feel fine again. Being able to stay up all night to learn about something else. This is really annoying with anything that has to do with paperwork. Like I said, I get mental and sometimes even physical discomfort trying to understand how I would have to apply for stuff or what papers I have to hand in somewhere.
First of all, “love yourself first” can be interpreted in various ways. bell hooks certainly meant it in a truly revolutionary, not a individualistic or distractive way.
What you describe sounds awfully much like how the boomer generation has approached live. For ever running away from personal problems by always keeping busy and distracting themselves. Sure, at least you are fighting fascism. A lot of leftists I know put all their energy into activism until they burn out. And often I suspect that they are running away from their own problems.
And sure, spending all your time with trying to self-love is obviously not the solution either. But it sure would help so much if people would reflect more upon their own emotional state and be more compassionate with themselves and others. This is not to say that we don’t need activism to stop fascists though.
This is certainly true for our modern agriculture today. But is this really true for any possible industrial agriculture? Couldn’t we also have a plant based industrial agriculture leaving domesticated animals out of the equation altogether? Sure, we are a far way off from that. But I think it would be achievable and that we should aim for it.
To add to this, I think it is important to keep in mind that what a museum or anybody else sees as a worthwhile message is very subjective. And through society’s biased lens this is often art by white cis men. Many of whom are seen as geniuses while being discriminatory or abusive to others, even in their message. But since the dominant culture is to only see these men as geniuses, their problematic behavior usually gets ignored. On the flipside, a lot of geniuses that aren’t white cis men are often completely left out and ignored. And this although their message is probably even more worthy of our attention because they actually experienced hardships that many white cis men never would have.
I don’t think it is a necessarily good idea to let museums have the choice alone what is a worthwhile message just because I don’t trust them to be reflective of the above. Museums should also be in dialogue with their community and what they deem worthwhile to present. (However this also opens the door to conservative bigots trying to prohibit anything remotely progressive.)
I’ve never said that any museum is strictly run by cis white men. My point is that the patriarchy and racism are real and lead to unconscious biases that we should be cautious of. Many museums have not done enough in being reflective of their own history and the history of the material they present (e.g. museums that present stolen artifacts from former colonies). I’ve never talked about censorship either, but rather getting a dialogue going between museums and their community. You projected a lot onto my comment there. Maybe you should think about what you’re defensive about here.

Ach ja, die Zeit. Natürlich fühlen die sich persönlich angegriffen, wenn jetzt wer was gegen E-Autos sagt. Schließlich fühlen die sich dort in der gehobenen Klasse bestimmt alle wie bessere Menschen, weil sie jetzt E-Autos fahren.
Aber ganz im Ernst, natürlich sind E-Autos nicht die Lösung und ja, der Individualverkehr sollte nur ne Notlösung sein. Ich finds gut, wenn Menschen sich ein E-Auto holen (verständlich in infrastrukturarmen Regionen), aber das kann echt nicht zur Zukunftsstrategie werden. Generell kann auch diese Idee, dass sich jetzt einfach alle ein E-Auto zulegen nicht aufgehen. Das ist wie von Menschen erwarten, dass sie zukünftig nur noch bio Lebensmittel kaufen. Von welchem Geld denn? In der Zeit-Redaktion ja kein Problem. Die haben natürlich genug Asche, um sich darüber nicht mal Gedanken zu machen. Aber dann die Antikapitalismus-Kritik von Menschen unterkomplex nennen, wenn man selber noch voll im Arsch des Kapitalismus steckt…
Für so einen Individualverkehr muss aber auch ganz viel Fläche versiegelt werden und Landschaften bleiben/werden stark fragmentisiert. Das schadet der Biodiversität enorm! Zudem müssen für die Herstellung von so vielen Autos natürlich auch noch mal massiv mehr Rohstoffe abgebaut werden, was nicht nur enorm klimaschädlich ist, sondern eben auch die Umwelt dort zerstört, wo die Minen zum Abbau der Rohstoffe stehen werden (plus natürlich die Menschen dort auch noch enorm schädigt). Über gemeinschaftliche Infrastruktur wäre das alles wesentlich weniger schlimm ausgeprägt, weil eben die Masse an benötigten Vehikeln viel niedriger ausfallen würde.
Hast du vielleicht nicht mitbekommen, aber natürlich gibt es auch immer wieder linke Proteste gegen Verbrenner-Autos bzw deren Produktion. Generell ist das doch ein ur-ökologischer Standpunkt, dass ein Individualverkehr problematisch ist und wir Autos größtenteils abschaffen sollten.
Und ja, es gibt auch immer wieder Proteste eben gegen irgendwelche E-Autos (wie z.B. Teslas), die nicht der breiten Masse an Menschen zugänglich sind, sondern eben nur von der gehobenen Klasse finanzierbar sind. Aber viel wichtiger ist doch noch, dass es hier um Neubauten geht, wo also eben noch mehr Natur für zerstört wird, um mehr Fläche für die Autoproduktion zu haben. Da ist es dann eben auch egal, ob E-Auto oder Verbrenner:
Es geht ja nicht darum, jetzt 100% der Produktion von heute auf morgen dicht zu machen. Aber warum denn der Industrien erlauben noch größer zu werden und noch mehr Schäden anzurichten? Wenn die Politik wirklich wollte, dann könnte die öffentliche Infrastruktur sicherlich innerhalb von kurzer Zeit recht schnell wesentlich besser ausgebaut werden. Und dahin richtet sich ja auch der Protest. Dass es nämlich einige Menschen gibt, die die Priorisierung und den Lobbyismus der Autoindustrie satt haben. Das wir uns endlich von dieser Scheiße lossagen sollten und eben nicht unsere Wirtschaft so sehr auf dieser klimaschädlichen Industrie basieren sollten.
Und da hast du dann die gewünschte Alternative. Rückbau der Autoindustrie bei gleichzeitigem Ausbau der Öffis.
Great video, thanks! Regarding the over representation of certain concepts/things I have been disappointed from day one by generative AI. If you want it to draw you something obscure it miserably fails and tries to fall back on stuff it knows. Also all the discriminatory biases generative AI has about different people because of lacking data sets. It is very obvious that it cannot “outperform” its own data input (like the exciting curve in the video) but that it will rather stagnate.
Well, if humans were a homogeneous population maybe that could work. But just imagine the huge number of factors at play here. Like, demographics, cultural background (different exposures & different allergy rates in general I would guess), genetic susceptibilities, individual lifestyles (e.g smoking) and probably a lot more! Even a sample size of 1000 seems pretty small to test for general human allergy rates to moon dust. If you were talking about just one population of humans, e.g. the US, you would certainly need more than 30 but maybe not 1000.
The one I was always certain about is that biology should be green. Chlorophyll and the photosynthesis based on it are just so important for nearly all life forms that green is very much deserved by biology only.
Depends what you mean by cockroach. I haven’t seen the pests around. But there are some smaller ones that are sometimes also found inside the house. I frequently find this one in my home for example, which is really cute <3
