He’s not only inviable but actually just worse from what I know. Seriously, why the fuck would you recommend voting for him? Even if my impression is dead wrong, that’s just stupid.
I think it’s fun, actually. If the game never updates again I’ll be disappointed that it never became what it could have been but I won’t regret buying it or spending time playing with my friends.
Hey! After seeing the main Anarchist sub on another instance be a bit of a shit show this one seems awesome and I do love me some solarpunk so this instance seems pretty cool as well....
Oh, hello again. Did you forget the last time we had this conversation and you entirely failed to provide any reason for your position and then when I pointed out how you didn’t provide clear arguments to any of your claims you just quit?
What? I spent hours explaining why I believed that Solarpunk aligns with and likely is inspired at least in part by Anarcho-transhumanism; I gave a comprehensive analysis of the similarities and differences between the two. How can you call that trolling? That’s so insulting.
Okay, I read the article and I think it’s changed my perspective somewhat.
I can belive that the origin of Solar Punk, that is the genre of fiction that first bore that name, has little to do with Transhumanism. I don’t believe I have read the earliest Solar Punk fiction, and so I cannot make an accurate guess. At the same time the politics, philosophy, and social movement that’s been tied up with that name is what I’m really trying to talk about. I believe that the philosophy that underpins what is currently referred to as “Solar Punk”, as codified in the manifesto, is at least inspired or informed by either recent Anarcho-transhumanism or some previously novel synthesis of philosophies that includes Anarchism and Transhumanism. There’s just too much that Solarpunk philosophy has in common with the things my friends and the wider H+ community have been saying for years for me to believe it’s a coincidence.
Yeah, that last sentence was uncalled for. I was feeling frustrated and dealing with some problems at work at the time, but I still shouldn’t have said that.
Public school. Everyone hated me, I never made any close friends, I was almost killed by my classmates more than once. One time I was pushed down the stairs another time I was shoved in front of an oncoming bus. I’ve become permanently depressed and have deep trust problems because of it. Years later when I was holding someone I loved in my arms as we fell asleep watching something together I realized that I felt happy for the first time in my life. Before then I had felt amused, vindicated, or excited but never happy. It’s such a strange thing to realize that you’ve never been happy once in your entire life and had just never realized because you had no way to know what you were missing.
I don’t think that’s a starter. I think that’s a grand paradigm shift that while it would no doubt be a great boon would not be easy or quick to implement.
Universal Healthcare, UBI, climate resolutions, voting reform, SNAP expansion, increases to minimum wage, etc. would be easier, quicker, and compound with the improvements of employee ownership. So I’d call those starters, even if they’re not as effective.
Human sexuality is ✨ c o m p l i c a t e d ✨ and all the labels we use are just rough estimations and shorthands because every box has stuff that doesn’t quite fit but seems like it might.
