    Define “the world”.

    Are we talking about the actual ball of rock? The collective ecology of organisms living on it? Or specifically the human race’s existence on the rock and within the ecology?

          You’re right, that it would be bad for humans. I’m just looking at the big picture and what would good for it in the long run.

          Humans already make similar decisions anyway. Certain part of the population will suffer so that another one can benefit. Occasionally, these sorts of decisions also lead to deaths. In an even larger scale, humans have also decided that certain animals and plants can suffer so that humans may thrive. Imagine if the ecosystem as a whole could make a decision like this about itself. Do you think the it would keep humanity, remove it entirely or maybe trim it down a bit?

          But seriously though, humans are here to stay for the time being, and I prefer to keep it that way. Unlike Linkola, I’m in no hurry to see disasters wipe out a portion of humanity.

    Stocks and everything around them are an expression of the greed and baseness of our species.

    Shit like this -

    “I think the world would be better without (insert idea)”

    “Oh my god but what about (insert unbelievably niche reason why not)? Won’t someone think of the incredibly niche exception?!?!?”

    On every fuckin comment on Lemmy. You’re not improving the world guys, you’re making it insufferable

      I think the world could be better without people vocally losing their minds over some harmless fun. Ignore it if you don’t like and move on, or if you’re so wrapped up in being online that you can’t ignore it I suggest you touch grass

      Israel was fine for the first few thousand years. The problem is the current acting individuals in the state.

        I’m happy for the region to exist.

        The state, not so much.

        The experiment was a failure, give the land back to Palestine.

        Maybe the Israelis can go to Egypt and demand their old jobs back.

          By that same token, was Ottoman occupation of Israel successful or called for? Is it not unfair to call anyone in particular that when most nations sadly act as “failed experiments” (which causes Russia to come to mind thinking about it)? If Palestine itself had to lie about certain tragedies and get Russia and North Korea involved, could the “failed experiment” remark not be used on them? There is no hiding anything on any side anymore.

      Well, I liked learning about the ethics some religions have like budhism and so on.

      But I totally agree with that when I see various countries being controlled by religion.

        That’s the thing though, most people don’t view a religion as an ethical lens, they view it as a dogma to be followed unconditionally under threat of eternal torture. M
