Lots of social-cultural issues make for great distractions from actual economic measures while also ensuring infighting among the population! so they get nothing done.

nope. boomers still behave the same way on the internet when they’re using their real name. it’s really more the screen/lack of physicality that seems to do it.

50% of teachers are sadists, though. unfortunately.

something similar happened at my school. you could read all the other student’s user profiles through the file explorer. it was useless though because the students had no interesting stuff stored on their profiles (i checked). when i finally told a teacher, he tried to act as if he hadn’t heard, because he correctly guessed that it would mean more work for him (to fix the insecure system). i would have been really excited if you could have accessed teacher’s profiles that way, though.

the fact that it’s so important to them that you’re not being gay already tells you:

(1) that apparently, being gay is a phenomenon widespread enough that it concerns them.

(2) that there’s an evolutionary benefit to it that these people are trying to ignore (or are at the very least unaware of). because otherwise they wouldn’t be so biased against it.

idk whether these thoughts/observations can help you, but they help me because they remind me that it’s the teacher that’s being out of balance, not you. and also that you’re not alone with this.

sth similar happened to me. that might sound unhinged but i wish that teacher a particularly cruel death.

(i am still being very emotionally affected by it.)

teachers explaining to kids that their bodies are not ok and that they should feel shame for themselves is definitely not something we need. i just think it would be karmic if that teacher suffered difficulty.

sounds like the perfect family (/s)

why are there so many mentally ill mothers out there. probably has something with “capitalism makes people insane” or sth. at least that’s my explanation. i hope you’re doing better now. at least getting away from her.

sharing is caring 😊

I for one started learning a new language just last week, after my hours of work have been reduced due to AI, because i finally have the time for it :-)

i think it’s like “tree” and “fish”, which is not a phylogenetic group but a certain shape/form/expression.

how would that look…?

the sweetest nectar that you’ve ever tasted

what if you pour it into the ocean? eventually it will become the drinking water for everyone. what if people turn only a little bit into a bottle because of the small dosis? how do you turn into a bottle just a little bit?

i do too btw

just take any train :-)

Theseus’ ship

Is it still the same ship if all of its parts have been replaced?

Our university has already adapted. We get little homework now, but have to write (very) short mini-tests at the beginning of each lesson. They typically take up 5-10 minutes and contain 1-2 questions which you can easily answer if you understand the course materials.

schools are extremely useful for the economy because in the last 200 years, contributing to economy was much more efficient if the kids got some education. That is why the education was often revolving around practical skills such as math, reading comprehension or natural sciences.

oh you are so mistaken. propaganda, which is essentially advertisement for political stances, takes a toll on us all. you just don’t notice it because modern propaganda is targeted towards the subconscious more than towards the conscious, as many people have poorer defenses around their subconsciousness than around their consciousness.

On top of that, you’re vastly underestimating how very pliable the human mind mostly is. When presented with one credible idea, an infestation takes place similar to a virus infestation which can make that idea grow exponentially, up to a target size.

Yet you are right that we must not give up confronting ourselves with these kind of messages, in order to find truth. Dialogue is the essential foundation of democracy. Only dialogue can reveal the truth.

First of all it doesn’t matter whether you think that AI can replace human workers. It only matter whether company think that AI can replace human workers.

Secondly, you’re assuming that humans typically understand the question at stake. You’ve clearly never met, or been, an under-paid, over-worked employee who doesn’t give a flying fuck about the daily bullshit.

Low birth rates are only a crisis for the capitalists (and actually not even that, see below). They increase wages and improve living standards for the population.

We’re gonna hit an unemployment crisis in 10-15 years, partially due to AI replacing white-collar workers. If we have a lot of unemployed people, capitalists are gonna complain about how much unemployment money costs. It’s actually better to have lower birthrates for capitalists as well, they only didn’t realize it yet.

Also, it increases wages because wages are determined through supply and demand of human labor. If there’s less supply, prices for labor (wages) are higher.
