Also just talking about your kinks and other things you’re ashamed of with people you trust is really helpful in clearing that. Shame will hold you back from being true to yourself, and it’s not worth it.

I used to be in this meme, now I read it and feel a certain sense of relief that I’m becoming a little bit more like the person I want to be.
If you want to talk about anything you’ve got people here who want to listen to you.
How do we encourage people to be true to themselves?
Is it possible to go too far in one direction? You’ll never know unless you find out, and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever find out.
I think in his later years Feynman did LSD and started feeling more comfortable with the potential philosophical ramifications of his work. We have to draw a line somewhere as a starting point for our understanding of reality, but it’s important to always be willing to reconsider that line. That’s what good science is all about.
As long as she’s willing to put up with that nonsense I’d love to see her as president. But I can certainly imagine a person in her position not wanting to rock the boat and subject herself to that.
I’ve been reading The Screwtape Letters and having aot of fun with it. Lewis and Wormwood both know how to pull the levers to get an emotional reaction out of a person lol
Agreed! I apologize, I didn’t mean “love” in the interpersonal relationship sense. I meant it more in The Beatles “All You Need is Love” sense.
I hate when people don’t realize love is powerful enough to make people question everything, including themselves.
Sometimes it’s just fun to write fanfic regardless of who you think is stronger. If the characters have strong motivations good stories are bound to unfold.
During the AI goldrush you can make your fortune selling bookshelves.
You’re all over the place, but I personally believe the biggest issue is people look at economic systems and ask things like “how can we maximize our production and consumption power?”
The “solution” is for everyone to come to an agreement on how much of something is “enough” and work forward from that baseline. This is incredibly difficult because people have different priorities, and getting people to agree on how much food, fuel, and infrastructure should be produced and consumed per capita would be a huge challenge. Capitalist economic systems allow people to more easily distance themselves from the moral problem of greed by saying things like “If I can make $5,000 that means I earned the right to consume $5,000 worth of goods.” But the real world “value” of making $5,000 from construction work on housing is vastly different than the value produced from selling a $5,000 NFT.
I think the questions you’re asking require the oversimplification of the real world to the point where even if someone gave you an “answer” it would be close to meaningless. Specifically, not everyones looks at changing geographic locations through a lens of pure economics.
There would still be class, but it would be based on things like social status and education instead of financial status.
More accurately there is no reality where “everyone is rich”. If everyone had equal wealth there would be no financial distinction that would allow you to classify “rich” or “poor”.
I remember seeing Fred read the news on his stone tablet.
In my opinion the only god worth thinking about is one that is beyond human comprehension. Once you restrict a god to only only following human logic god ceases to be interesting.
I always liked the ergonomics of the N64 controller. The recreation of those ergonomics using the Wiimote+nunchuk was one of my favorite things about the Wii lol
I organized my manga collection alphabetically. Does that count?
Gotcha gotcha. In other words: us being monkeys generating random output is an unfalsifiable hypothesis, so saying “it’s true” is unscientific. Yes, it could be true if free will didn’t exist, but since that’s not something that can be proven we shouldn’t use it as the basis for how we view reality. Something like that?
Alright my friend. Don’t be afraid to feel your feelings, we all have 'em. :)
