  • Our God here in the US is Mammon, even though he usually goes by other names; rational self-interest, the invisible hand, etc.

    Mammon would never let genocide get in the way of glorious profit.

  • Humans on destructive growth/metastasis and short-term private profit gained through the merciless exploitation of their own species and carefree destruction of our only habitat: "DO ANYTHING, DO EVERYTHING! MOOOOAAAAAAR NOW NOW NOW!"

    Per the Article, Humans when the consequences for the above arrives: "... If temperatures stay high or, heaven forbid, keep rapidly warming, it would suggest that we’ve broken the climate system. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen."

    Yeah, maybe if we clap our hands and hope, that will effect the only outcome our species has any interest in getting to by its own continued actions.

    👏I don't believe in man-made climate change, I don't, I don't!👏

    Nope, that didn't work, we're still going to burn if all we keep doing is hoping.

  • Calls for smartphone-free childhood grow in Britain

  • you seem to be assuming that children have the same logical reasoning faculties that adults do. this is not the case.

    Critical thinking and reasoning must be taught, and in the US largely doesn't until the college level unfortunately. Many adults, many parents have no logical reasoning faculties and never will. Some are very proud of this, declaring the whims and opinions that pop into their heads "common sense." I refer you to my fellow Americans who see salvation in a slumlord game show host nepo baby. There's a reason humanity spent 180+ thousand years wandering in the dirt before stumbling upon a less brutal way to live 10-20 thousand years ago.

    Again, some like myself may seek out such information if they are starved of it at home, if they have access. If anything, getting multiple conflicting opinions tends to make a new mind seek out ways to parse the true from the false, and that chance is better than no chance at all.

  • There's no cure all solution. I consider homeschooled children taught to live their lives by regressive religious texts to be just as broken as the cult of Tate.

    If any intervention will still yield roughly equivalent mixed results, I always err on the side of more access to information. A child can gravitate to Andrew Tate's toxicity, or they can look up facts about the confederacy their parents told them fought for "states rights and freedumb!"

    In a perfect world, loving parents should be available to provide opinions and context, but I'd rather that child have the opportunity to seek out a rational, benevolent path if the parents attempt to indoctrinate them to their worldview with no other options.

    The parents most interested in dominating all information their child receives tend to be the same ones that get mad at the schools for teaching children that genitals exist, the universe is billions of years old, and their country wasn't always perfect, stuff they need to know for life whether their parents like it or not.

  • No, children deserve to be able to fact check their parent's biased narrative, too.

    It's a conservative mindset to demand you get to monopolize the information your child receives until they're 18.

  • I think marketers should get to take credit for ad campaigns they create, and engineers should get to take credit for technology they create.

    Capitalists just want to take the credit for what others do. Societal leeches. I don't buy into their false narrative that providing the means of production they hoard out of greed means they deserve most to all of the credit for what they permit talented people to engineer and produce by the swear of their brow and the migraines of their solutions.

    We should be rewarding the Teslas of the world for what they invent, and punishing the Edisons that would claim other's inventions as their own. But we suck, so we won't.

  • Steve Jobs was a piece of shit human being who contributed nothing to technology.

    That said, he was a hell of a skilled bullshitter/marketer. Most people fucking looooove to be bullshitted, and Americans more than most.

    It's why we elect virtually no wonks/technocrats, even though thats who we should elect almost exclusively. We'd rather some snake oil motherfucker sell us on magical lies while telling us we're pretty.

  • Rome always falls in the end.

    Entropy always wins sooner or later.

    The Roman Empire fell to corruption and decadence, and telling various groups whatever pretty lies they want to hear, rather than uncomfortable but necessary truths of our terminal capitalism driven social, economic, and environmental collapse falls firmly under that umbrella.

    The first step to staving off such a collapse would be mass recognition of the problem, and since no one with power and few without are even willing to entertain that reality, collapse it is.

    The quest for RECKLESS growth/metastasis is quite literally ushering in a new dark age of glorified ignorance.

    This is just capitalism. NBC wants to give the ignorant right what they want to hear to grow their profits for their private shareholders. Nothing wrong with indulging the profit motive, amirite? /s

    This isn't being done because of the fires of fascist hatred, though it will assist the fascists. No, this is collapse by the detached, sociopathic ice of unapologetic, insatiable greed, our society's absolute core value which is every bit as destructive as hate, and historically far more effective at accomplishing and maintaining that destruction generationally. A fascist will murder you, but a capitalist will keep you, your children, and your children's children in subservient subsistence, and they don't even care to know the demographics of their victims.
