Just a feller
And how do you expect to change anyone’s mind if you don’t talk to each other? How are you supposed to empathize, be empathized with, challenge views, and have your views challenged? Nothing changes and society is weakened by burying your head in the sand.
The biggest problem with this “us vs. them” mentality everyone seems so eager to jump towards, is that since both sides must always be opposed, you’re now on the side that is against free speech. That’s going to do nothing but strengthen their side and weaken yours. Open your heart to other humans, especially the ones you don’t like. Try to understand them and realize you can hold your beliefs without silencing theirs. How will anyone change if nobody talks to each other? Words are what make us human, they have the power to change everything. It’s how we’ve survived as long as we have. One “hello” from a fellow human can save a suicidal persons life. The only way you can change the world is if you speak your heart and listen to others.
I know there is a lot of hate and nonsense out there but you’re grouping it all together under one image and painting everyone who doesn’t think like you as the enemy. It’s not helpful. Yes, they do it too, but that’s not an excuse. Be better.
Exactly, and that’s why this topic is important to me. I don’t wanna be silenced for wrongthink.
It’s starting to worry me that “free speech” has become something to be feared and avoided. Avoiding confrontation to your beliefs just makes you and your beliefs weaker.
Them Wright Brothers will never change anything! Airplanes are obviously a scam. Snake oil salesmen I tells ya!
NFT and Crypto are not in the same realm as AI other than to people who have no foresight.
Jesus you are dense. AI is already the most advanced and versatile tool we’ve ever made and it’s only the beginning. They’ve already used LLMs to decode the brain waves of people looking at an image and were able to replicate the image JUST from brain waves and LLM algorithms. You seem like you don’t want to understand just how huge AI is so I guess all I can say is wait and see. It’s going to change every single thing about human society while you’re blabbering on about crypto and NFTs. The ignorance of people is astounding sometimes.
AI is literally going to change everything. It’s already started, don’t you feel it?
Calling AI a fad is like calling electricity a fad.
Conservative salt and liberal tears. I wish people would stop getting off on the agony of others.
Everything you do has a significant impact. When you take care of yourself, love yourself, and proactively change what’s in your control, you inspire those around you. Your actions shape their behavior and perspective. But if you let your hardships get the best of you and you start to harbor resentment towards the world, it negatively affects EVERYTHING in the world. This negative mindset spreads, bringing down not just you, but those around too. Hell, it affects the animals and plants that you come across. Just the pheromones you emit and the way you walk changes peoples paths and their thoughts. Your actions matter. They have consequences. I’m typing this response quickly to balance out your negative post, and it’s making me late for work. It’s time to get your act together. Only you can change your situation. Try to become proficient at something and make a positive contribution to society. Good luck, everything you need to improve is already within you. Just follow your heart, and don’t overthink. Love yourself and you’ll love the world too.
The amount of arrogant ignorance you have is hilarious. Have you ever been to the US, outside of a major city? You understand how large and disparate most of the US is right? You could fit 40 UKs in to the US. Should the mountains just be filled with busses going to every small town on tiny ass roads? What if there is no bus or train to where I’m going? Just horse and buggy it to “save the planet” or “stick it to capitalism”? Do you realize how many people LOVE cars? Go try and fix things so you can potentially do SOMETHING, not just sit here arrogantly shouting your narrowminded views. You need to have your opinions challenged in the real world, otherwise your fantastical arguments hold no water. You’re not seeing from others perspectives, just naively trying to force your limited understanding of the world on to others.
People digging deeply in to their ideals with no critical thought or empathy for others is what got us to this point. The only way out is opening your heart. I’m not saying you have to agree with anyone’s beliefs, you just need to understand them. How do you fight something you don’t understand? How do you know if you even need to fight it? When we give up on understanding others they become whatever evil amalgamation our imagination can come up with. We project all of our deepest shadow qualities on them and hate them fiercely. The strongest and most potent hate of all is self hate and it’s where all of both sides anger comes from.
And for what it’s worth, I currently live in Texas. I see first hand how much everyone is suffering. EVERYONE.
That’s a pretty dangerous game to play. It just strengthens their resolve and blinds you from the genuine understanding of your fellow humans. I think your stance harms society.
The takeaway from this is how easily people are duped by trolls.
There is truth in all perspectives and denying that helps no one, including yourself.
If you think you can force your subjective will on billions of people by plugging your ears and shouting “I’m right” you’re going to be very disappointed by life.
Thank you for speaking your truth. We need more of this and less careless disregard for the beliefs of others. Understanding is the only way to grow as a species. Calling a life a clump of cells may be true in some senses but not in all. If you think we’re all just clumps of cells that’s fine, but that’s not what the pro lifers see. Disregarding that fact only weakens your position and strengthens your “opposition’s”.
Cilantro tastes like soap because of genetics, it tastes like soap to me too. You are creating a straw man to argue against. Do you really think all people who don’t agree with you are against basic human rights? You’re right that those people deserve to be shut down and stood up against. But to lump EVERYONE under the banner of either good or bad so that you can lazily dismiss all dissenting opinions in the hopes that that’ll change anything for the better, then you are doing nothing but helping to devolve society in to a cancerous cesspool of backstabbing and virtue signaling. Nobody wins without nuance.
