1. Suggested Rules for twitter (I really hope these catch on)
Suggested rules for Twitter. Retweet if you agree:
1. If you engage, start from a common truth. Otherwise you are screaming into the void.
2. Don't be hypocritical. Is your post true in a different context?
3. Critique statements you agree with. Break your echo chamber.

The more time goes on, the more the hypothesis "people only use Truth to justify the unjustifiable" is validated. And with each observation my disdain for Truth grows.
We can go without it. We can work for a better world through respect rather than dictating what's right.

The following is going to be an incredibly interesting court case:
A woman is forced to carry a fetus to term because to abort would be murder. But it's known that the fetus is premature, and the hospital lets the now newborn die because of energy limitations.
Is it murder?

Typically I don't take flat earthers seriously because they shouldn't be taken seriously. But I do have a question for them on their own terms:
fucking explain this -

Was the focus on materialism malicious?
If we spent as much investment on understanding the motives of the rich and associating the economy with diversity of narratives (rather than the GDP), the world wouldn't be dictated by insane people.

If sentience is to mean anything, it's the ability to react to anticipated harm.
This implies something is not simply reactive to the current state, but can AND DOES use analysis to foresee problems and try to establish the optimal response.
Conservativism seems to fear this.

I HATE the concept of truth. The ONLY time it's ever evoked is when dumbfucks make ultra simplistic non-defendable assertion made from an authoritative position they CANNOT justify.
It's a plague on our psyche and should be condemned more than any other concept in existence.

When did it become normal to use "your so emotional right now!" as an insult? On psychopaths and the like would say shit like that.

Suppose you knew that there was a 80% chance that a catastrophic and - most importantly - unavoidable event might happen. Noting would change the outcome nor will knowing benefit anyone.
Is it your responsibility to warn people? Or is it a kindness to keep it a secret?

Growing up is seeing the horrors of the Cultural Revolution, realizing that it was specific to a time and place, and understanding that in that time and place... it was necessary and inevitable.

IF confidence + simplicity -> social approval -> social influence
Then
one cannot be socially influential while being nuanced.
Therefore
Society will reject hard truths.
Therefore
Society depends on defenses to suppress mounting hard truths.
Thus
Society will collapse.

TIL something that people must know. Completely by chance someone asked me to look up what pumpernickel translates to: it literally means "demon's farts"

Yearly post remembering all the people that died on 9/11, not for political reasons or because they can be weaponized, but just because they were people with lives.
Please take a moment and scroll through the names to remember more people than this die avoidably every day.
I wish I had a list of every person that is dying during COVID. They are just as innocent as these people. But since we could point to foreigners we turned the world over to make it worse for generations more.
If you want to respect 9/11 realize these people are being used.

If we all united around and fought for the belief that those who value control over cooperation should be removed from any power and privlege, the world would literally be fixed overnight.

On this Labor Day I would like for people to think about what the names of the US parties actually mean:
Democrats - they will impose the democratic rule. This shouldn't be confused with the claim they empower democracy (which they have shown to be agnostic towards.

What I would like people to realize above all is that there is no party fighting for the interests of the laborors. No one is fighting for the interests of the poor.
These groups have been denied a voice in the government "of for and by the people".
