  • they have done studies.

    truth is more cognitively difficult to obtain and it is not emotionally rewarding.

    fiction and fantasy is easy to process, and it's much more emotionally rewarding.

    Just like our bodies want to get fat and lazy unless we otherwise force them not to, our brains are the same way.

    People can become smarter and value good mental work, just like they can get fitter and start feeling the rewards of fitness. But there is a massive gulf you have to overcome to get there where it is incredibly painful and difficult and most people give up rather than push through the pain and difficulty.

  • because people find confidence attractive and appealing. for most people, blind faith and never admitting you are wrong is seen as confident.

    and wise people don't seem confident because they acknowledge their limits and that they might be wrong.

    human psychology is full of this stuff. it is not optimized to be truth seeking, it's optimized to look for the easiest explanation and the one that unifies the tribe.

  • sadly, most human beings trust their own 'judgement' of direct and anecdotal experiences far more than they will ever trust the abstractions of science and mathematics that prove them wrong

  • hipster effect, that's a good one. every hipster i know is a raging insufferable hypocrite who rallies against 'the man'. meanwhile endlessly chasing after 'alt' versions of the same shit everyone else is chasing after to prove how successful and superior they are. they will hate on Brooks Brothers wearing people, but they are willing to spend $100 for one ironic T shirt...

    all image, no substance.

  • I know people who work for amazon tech.

    They love it. They love the cutthroat work environment. I have a brother who used to work for a company like that, and all his jobs afterward he hated because they were 'boring' and 'not competitive' and he ended up quitting them all because he wanted everything to be blood sport. Now he is depressed and unemployed and puts all his rage into being a volunteer football coach.

  • i've had people at bars corporate police tone me. where i live it's rampant and people talk corporate speak 24/7.

    least to say I wanted to punch that person in the face, and I no longer hang out there because it's full of corpo zombie types of people who work 80 hour weeks and think 'synergize' is a verb for everyday use.

  • lemmy is only took off because reddit policed it and kicked most of the users here off.

    the problem with policing speech and bullying is it's totally subjective. i used to be told I was a bully for offering people writing suggestions.

  • Systematic issues aren't any one person's responsibility, and those who thing it is, tend to be violent assholes.

    All we can do as individuals is be responsible for ourselves. We are not responsible for other people.

    However, the parents are responsible for this 15 year old girl. She is not responsible for herself as she is not an adult.

  • That's guilt by association. It's a fallacy. Lots of national leaders and founders were racists and horrible people in various factors. That doesn't mean the states necessarily were or are or forever will be.

    I don't claim to be anything. You are making all the claims here about who is what. Where I stand agonizing about genocide and dividing everyone up into pro and anti is simply stupid. My understanding is that the current Israeli government and its hardliner supporters are are engaged in a unnecessary escalated conflict, largely motivated by their own beliefs. However, that has not always been the case and various parties in the government do not agree. The conflict in Gaza is part of a much larger history that goes back centuries and isn't 'Zionism'.

    But I'm interested in history and reality, not moralizing catchphrases and moral grandstanding over issues for which my views have zero political relevance or impact. I'm not a citizen of the state of Israel.

    These type of wealth disparities existing before capitalism. In ancient grand societies the wealth was controlled by a small elite almost always and class mobility was non-existent.

    The issue isn't capitalism, it's just that the history of our specifies across various society tends to ebb and flow in various directions in response to historical events and contexts. Go read Piketty's work on this.

  • Nuanced thinking doesn't win popularity contests. At best, it only really exists in academia, and even then not that often.

    Tired thoughtless ragebait talking points does. Nuanced thinking is the opposite of a 'rallying cry' that so many on the left, and the right, use to motivate their constituencies.

  • I mean, that's how human beings work. The boss isn't going to hold himself accountable to his own policies... how many bosses have you had that don't make exceptions to the rule for themselves?

    The good ones are the ones who make exceptions for other people, and the bad ones are the ones who only do it for themselves.
