The economy does not care about your feelings.
It cares about labor costs and skills.
Even the most intelligent person cannot get a job if no jobs exist.
The non-intelligent person is just screwed in an economic collapse.
This argument has been done countless times and the flaw is that it assumes robots are not intelligent enough to fix other robots, recycle them or just create new robots.
We have not tried robots yet.
It does not need to be perfect but only better.
You do not believe anything can improve, that is a flaw in your thinking.
Structural violence is a form of violence wherein some social structure or social institution may harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. The term was coined by Norwegian sociologist Johan Galtung, who introduced it in his 1969 article "Violence, Peace, and Peace...
No one cares about any specific point of anyone's specific suffering.
The system is flawed and you cannot say it is not just because people complain about it. That is an excuse and blindness for real issues with the system.
Inhibition is all that keeps me alive.
There is no outlet, everything must be internalized.
So all that overwhelms causes shutdown.
All that prohibits certain actions, becoming numb and dumb.
Every time I react bad things happen. Things that cannot be fixed.
My computer is lucky I need it...
The point of the dry humor @Daddy was doing was because the system is broken. There is no use in saying "Well it is worse in country X so don't complain". Capitalism makes it so people have to work in jobs at the bottom that serve no fulfillment in purpose. People do drugs because they have no...
But what I say to this is that maybe you should consider that these problems are not real problems in comparison to some people.
What about slaves in Africa? Are You saying the people you know have it harder THAN THEY DO?
Maybe the people you know are just complaining.
poverty is relative.
emotional/physical stress struggle is not.
telling people they are whiners is not going to get you any sympathy.
especially not when acting like everything is peaches and roses without knowing the person.
such as
You whine like a woman - cog
that is totally unjustified...

The gov took out big loans which caused inflation because of a thing called fractional reserve banking. The more loans that happen in the system the more money is created in that system. The federal reserve is supposed to increase interest rates to curb loans between banks. In 2008 they...
You are going by the theory that the bill does the opposite of what it is called, but: Source?
By reducing inflation prices go up? And an increase in inflation makes prices go down?

why is subjective experience the way it is?
sure it correlates with objective reality but is our subjective reality the same?
Who is to say you get extreme pleasure from burns and cuts but express this as screams of agony?
Why is pain/pleasure universal and not...
Depends on whether you believe that laws derive from universals or particulars.
What makes one subjective experience the same as another's?

Why do interactions occur? At a base level, things must be connected before interaction. An intermediate stage. intermediaries between all events in the universe.
But then after this, we must have symmetry breaking. A collapse into one set over all others.
Agents are what guide this process...
I use Twitter and so I like certain things and I like to post certain things, I follow certain people and I block certain content I find offensive. I am building a persona.

Even if half the western population is lost by 2080 that is still twice what it was in the 1920s.
No, I do not see this as a problem. Why should it be? The population will never go to Zero. The reason we have the problem is that neoliberalism says everyone must work. Why? Money. Why must we...
Unless you have autism you can see why this is important to a comfortable social function.
But as to psychological function, belief is not about comfort.
1) You either block things out because they are too painful.

3) 1 and 2 are either...
Not all women are disadvantaged in comparison to men.

It was finished 5 months ago before chatgpt came out but they had to test it for safety.
So theoretically GPT-5 is done training and they will need to test it for safety for the next 5 months until it is released.
