I feel like not going to work as a Florida teacher would actually be a win for the capitalists.

Thanks you.

Making something like that illegal sounds like an acceleration of revolution. They REALLY want to use their guns.

wait, can visible light waves at thousands times larger than atoms interact with subatomic particles?

Extermination.

What if I’m a teacher in Florida?

A calculator.

I’ve eaten bananas at all stages, from tough green plant matter to get you drunk for eating it brown. My favorite is when it is still partly green and not browning.

Shocking

The most important is at the bottom of that curve, right?

I listen to audio dramas and real-play rpgs.

Interesting thought. If tithing to the catholic church paid for my healthcare, I’d consider signing up.

I have MAGA all around me in my life. They are angry about both. The real difference is who they blame.

Sure, but they are knowable. They are not behind the curtain.

Words I have heard in real life is that there are people we aren’t powerful enough or wealthy enough to know about. Having a boogey man keeps the fear and powerlessness strong.

Nah. Satan was all about gaining knowledge. America is doing the opposite.

Criticism is a good thing! That is where I am coming from. And no, it is not a correction to your reading. I did not see any connection from the letters to our conversation. I reference Haidt because he has helped me to begin understanding how so many people around me are thinking. As I said earlier, I care. I care about everyone and want the best for them. This does not mean I think they have good intentions or that they should not be corrected. It just gives a place to start. I did make a joke in my original comment that I see as similar to King’s “One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” The law is obsurd, so should be the moral people.

You continue to add context that I did not give. Try going back and reading carefully to see how incorrect you are. That is why I say feelings cannot work alone. They fill in blanks with biases rather than asking why. For example, why do you believe I think anger is a problem? In all the context I have said feelings are important. The only feelings I have mentioned is hurt. How can you not be by the state of the world? I am. Also, your writing has tone that would appear as such. This is called empathy.

I deal with all kinds of people all the time. It is more common than not for bias to get in the way of communication. Feelings are a major player here. I’d like to recommmend reading some neuroscience. I am a fan of Jonathan Haidt. His books have helped me understand a lot of this. The Righteous Mind is a great start. Also, understanding how falacies work is very helpful.

King’s letters from jail are great pieces of history but do not connect here. It doesn’t feel like you have been reading what I have written and are even fabricating meaning. So again, I have no idea what your point is or if it has anything to do with mine?

Nothing in my comment has anything to do woth someone’s right to exist. My comments have been about how they are treated. Nothing in my comments has been about trans people needing to justify themselves. Your perception of this is way off from reality. That is because of feelings overwhelming your communication. I’m sorry you are so hurt. Please try to stop seeing the world as dichotomous. It is far from it.

So is your point that you are angry and fed up? Me too. Credibility matters in the long run. Feelings are fleeting. Both have great value. Acting only on feelings will have divisive outcomes and result in more bad feelings. Acting only on intellect only will unintentionally not account for some factor and result in more bad feelings. Holding dogmatic to either method only perpetuates conflict. What point am I missing?
