      @@hairymcnipples Yeah, looking back on this, I'll admit I definitely misspoke when I said completely reversible. There are definitely some things that aren't reversible, but I do still think (at least at the time of writing this comment) that at least a large chunk of the damage is currently both preventable and reversible. It's just a matter of taking the steps required to actually begin doing so-something which I have considerably less optimism about, at least in the case of the United States. Still, though, I find it important to try and remain positive during situations like this-doomerism is neither a healthy ideology nor a helpful one. I just wish people with the money and manpower that could actually make an impact on it would bother to do so, rather than leaving the people who can't to fend for themselves.

    The inability/reluctance of the machine to be raged against, to recognize itself as the machine to be raged against, is usually a defining characteristic of the machine to be raged against. This can make it hard to prove the machine is the machine as opposed to simply being the other side, but when you’re the most wealthy man in the world, who’s ceo of a company receiving government funding, and who has openly admitted to directioning coups d’etat in the countries he bloodmines his non renewable resources from… yeah, you’re the machine in question buddy

      Of course trying to reframe systemic reform as an individual responsibility is stupid and I'm not advocating for that (though in the case of Musk, it wouldn't be that crazy), but being willing to question core assumptions is something that is uncomfortable for anyone, as Ro touches on at the end of the video.

It took like a year or two of a lot of conversations that were not easy, but I was trying really hard to reach him and get him to understand me and signal that I believed him better than the ideas bouncing around that space. It took a while but he told me later it helped. It's some dang emotional labor, I'll tell you what, but I think it's worth it. This is also why I think Twitter fights and online dog piling are ineffective. I've never convinced a neonazi by arguing with them, largely because they know they're full of shit and don't care. But I have gotten through to people by talking to them like I want to see the good in them and give them a chance to back down from those ideas with some dignity, instead of retreating after being doused in shame and derision.

    • @ChristopherSadlowski
      @ChristopherSadlowski Рік тому +10

      That's probably because we tie so much of our self worth to what we feel we "contribute" to the capitalist machine. When your sense of value just as a human being is directly connected to your work, any critique of that system feels like an attack on your personhood. That's one reason why capitalism is so difficult to even chip away at. It sets itself up, and burrows so far in, that it practically forces everyone to accept it as one and only way of doing anything. The people at the top have slowly designed it this way; why do or say anything to jeopardize the flow of extreme wealth into your bank? The sad thing is it's become more like a game for them, they don't actually do anything with that money because the thrill is just seeing how much of a high score you can get. It's also why they see people more as numbers than, you know, people. Do most people really care about the "lives" of the NPCs in video games? No. They're just there as set dressing or a place to sell your loot at. When everything is flattened down to numbers on a spreadsheet you stop seeing what's actually behind those numbers, and at a certain point you're so desensitized that everything just becomes meaningless numbers. Giant numbers at that, numbers so large the human brain has trouble even conceptualizing how big they really are.

    As someone who lives in Scandinavia here are some of the benefits you get from being in this system, i can not speak for all countries involved but they're pretty similar. Free school (obligatory, in highschool you might have to pay for lunch and the same goes for what I'd call collage but uni is free), free meals in school (until highschool and sometimes highschool), free dental and healthcare until your early 20s as well as "high cost insurance" on these things as well as most common prescribed medications, vacations and limits to how much you can legally work (this all varies a bit but yeah), unions that are hard to bust bc there's a long history of it and a bunch of other things too. I'm just a normal person from a family who's finances have fluctuated throughout my upbringing and things aren't perfect but I'd say it's nicer than living in the US, this security is something almost nobody would give up willingly. We do have high taxes (I don't know the differences between us and the US, it's like 28-30% in my specific region I think) but that kinda comes around and you benefit from it in the long run. Not to say that things aren't corrupt, where there's power and massive amounts of money there will always be corruption and politicians are the same no matter where you are but overall it's fine. Always strive for better though, things can always be better.

      I read the article, How A Cult Built The O-Rings That Failed On The Space Shuttle Challenger, it’s pretty long but I’ll just copy paste what’s important if you’re interested,
      “One of those businesses was started by the previous prophet (and Warren Jeffs’ father), Rulon Jeffs, in 1968 as the Utah Tool & Die; that company became HydraPak a decade later, with Rulon Jeffs on the board. HydraPak was the sole contractor NASA used in the manufacture of the space shuttle O-rings.”
      “In all honesty, NASA was clearly at fault here. The launch should never have gone ahead in such conditions. It’s also not necessarily fair to blame the manufacturer of the O-rings for not testing them in extremely cold conditions.
      It’s highly possible that those O-rings were built using the religious equivalent of slave labor. It’s just an interesting and intensely sad corner of history, one where two groups of people on the absolute opposite ends of the American spectrum - fundamentalist cult adherents and literal rocket scientists attempting to launch a teacher into space - intersected to bring us one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.”

      @@roramdin I want to add that Challenger was actually fine quality-wise, the disaster came about because it was launched outside it's intended operating conditions (it was too cold, which led to problems with an O-ring on a solid rocket booster). Engineers knew of the risk and warned their higher-ups, but the launch proceeded anyway. Columbia on the other hand was related directly to the Shuttles design, even though the manufacturing quality was still good.

I get there's a cost to driving the car to the mechanic and many people can't do it at home, but then that's not much more than driving to another equally distant location.

Also, electric busses use lithium batteries: mining lithium eliminates the wild habitat in South America, you have fresh air in the US at the expense of wild life in South America.
