This is ad driven economy and bar must go π
"Line go up" is the animating force of the age, the critical philosophical principal around which our entire society is arranged.
Gives me a fucking headache.
All time high all time!
I choose not to confuse their values as mine or that of my community.
Agreed. I really hate it when people see the problems in the world, fall for misanthropy, and blame everyone, most of whom are blameless beyond their failure to put their lives at risk to change things.
People are great. We've done great things. We're a species who's defining advantage is cooperation. None of what we see today would be possible if most of us were greedy, hateful, idiots.
People can be lead astray. but who can blame them? We've created a world more complicated than any one of us could fully understand. It's bad enough that a handful of psychopaths can take advantage of that, we don't need to add to it by making it seem like everyone's at fault for not instantly bashing their heads in.
I really appreciate this take. It's good-hearted and makes good sense. I'll try to remember it going forward, when cynicism overwhelms.
Thank you.
