  • “Strawman” - and then you just go with “vegans”… so all? Most? Some? Or maybe just the tiniest percentage? I think you understand for wich ones my argument applies and how “strawman” doesn’t, cause numbers. You know, if you pay attention…

    Ok lets cut the rhetorics, I was trying to be sincere. I think you might wanna pay some more of that attention (omg sry I stop now) to “dialectic”. This does explicitly not mean you can turn the thing around and solely look at the other side.

    So of course no change ever happens if all those one persons don’t do anything. But they will only change history if they change the underlying structures. To do so, they have to overcome their individualistic constriction and reach collective agency.

    You gotta organize. The market won’t do, since it is THE form of organization that makes everyone a single player. Both, in their acting and in their consciousness.


  • This statement (about everyone single personal effort) only becomes meaningful when you take into consideration why people don’t. If you do, you will encounter the dialectics of structure and “personal choice” and how complicated history is and how it is not at all about “everybody make a small change in their life”.

    The liberal feverdream of individual solutions for structural problems is bound to end up in “I buy good groceries”.

    And, eventhough veganism is a good thing to do, this is why I’m personally so annoyed by vegan communities.

    I dont know if reducing your personal sin count or whatever is a substitute for radical critique and political action, or an add-on, so I didn’t downvote. But maybe it explains some of it.








  • Of course your base argument - capitalist economy is ecolocically destructive and dysfunctional regarding the needs of the many.

    “Until there is noone left to fulfill their orders” thats the kind of “justice” i’m talking about. Like, Homoestasis will put them down in the end. Justice will be served. But that’s deceptive satisfaction.

    Don’t go down the “natural balance” kind of revenge fantasy. It only makes one comfy in passivist boundedness. Also the guy in the picture is far more likely do do just fine in a climate catastrophy than you. Gaia nature god lady won’t bring you any justice, at all.



  • Even though this is true for like 90% of my thinking (that I can see when I try), so far I’m concinced this ist because I am a predominantly language-and-normal-grammar-rules thinker.

    There are people that mostly think via associations of words that don’t have to be formulated/ cast into grammar.

    And then there supposedly people mainly thinking in pictures or smth, without words.

    Anyways for some people rubber duck mode reoresents a change in thinking method, I think


  • I see the comic as an attempt to translate the existential stress a dog “feels” to the human experience, especially it’s intensity. Because even with no language, no consciousness as humans have it, dogs do experience intensity you could measure in cortisol levels, heartbeat, eye movement etc.

    The comic is useful for those who are interested in translating that to human experience. A communicative form that works well is narrative framing. It gives your empathy a correspondant in your conscious thinking.

    Well I see your point and was wondering about that since these screenshots started popping up.

    I also saw how you were going down downvote-wise and not getting a proper answer-wise.

    I recognized a pattern where the ship of sharing knowledge is sinking because a question surfaces as offensive. It happens sometimes on feddit.

    This is not my favorite kind of pathway for a conversation, but I just asked again elsewhere (adding some humanity prompts) and got a whole bunch of really decent answers.

    Just in case you didn’t see it because you were repelled by downvotes.

    …dunno, we all forget sometimes this thing is kind of a ship we’re on



  • Thanks veryone for the answers. Still hard to get my head around it. Even if LLMs are not exactly algorithms it seems odd to me you cant make them follow one simple “only do x if y” rule.

    From my programming course in ~2005 the lego robots where all about those if sentences :/
