It just works.
I don’t think it’s a simulation. If it was, I don’t think it mattered unless I had some amount of control. Which might be why the simulation idea is taking off, people lacking control over their livelihoods.
Congratulations! I hope your union’s contract negotiations go well!
I once heard a public radio host, during a segment on the economy, say, “We know the stock market isn’t the economy, but the stock market is doing great!” They then proceeded to not talk about the economy.
It’s also a way to introduce ideas to the public with an air of credibility. News corpos can pick up the story and provide sources, without having to say
I’m the one exposing the undeveloped film to the light bulb.
“On what grounds?”
“It’s devastating to my case.”
I’ve had conversations about socialism with people in my life who are well meaning. The thing I have found to work is to avoid using surface level words like “proletariat, socialism, etc.” This is to avoid the thought terminating reaction they have to hearing red scare words.
Most people have hardships and struggles caused by capitalism, but they’ve been led to believe it’s their fault or that the right flavor of capitalism isn’t being used. My method is to talk about why those hardships may be happening due to capitalism, without saying the words “capitalism or ruling class”. This allows them to listen and think over the concept that capitalism is destroying their livelihood, without recoiling and entrenching their position further.

If i dont want to burn my hand, I can measure the objects temperature. Even if I don’t trust my reasoning and senses, a hot object will still burn me. I could have no senses to perceive the outside world, and I would still be burned by that object.
The reason I know I will get burned is not based on an absolute knowledge of how hot that object is, but that I and others have been burned before. The evidence is reproducible and most everyone agrees that a hot object will burn them.
HELL YEAH, MFER!
Did he piss his pants to keep others from remembering that you shit your pants, because that’s a great friend right there.
Hell yeah, brother!
Waste of money, which is a finite resource.
You are calling a self sustaining energy technology a waste of money, which is inherently a made up resource. Go be a downer somewhere else.
It took me by surprise seeing anti-union posts. Even if it’s satire, how long before some people get irony poisoned?
It’s called the Wild Hunt of Odin
