One thing is to talk about the fact that "everyone becomes beautiful" but the other one is to directly experience it. And, imo, the best way to do so is Frank Yang closeups style of filming:
@vavouart@SHOGATSU_ the game tracks your stats/performance on that hero against others of higher or lower rank, not just win/loss ratio. If you significantly outperform the rest of the lobby, you'll gain more and lose less. you're placed slightly higher than your natural rank, and underperforming
Like it or not, Greta Thunberg represents the finest that Europe has to offer.
Perhaps she could only have been born a European.
Greta is someone who comes from a well-off middle class family in Sweden. From a very young age, she became concerned with one thing and one thing only:
The ENTIRE planet.
As soon as she learned that humanity is in the process of possibly destroying the planet and its ecosystem, she did what she could to stop it.
She organised Fridays for Future, became a global sensation, helped Green parties win elections in Europe and probably had a role in creating the Green New Deal and many more things.
Soon after she was done, she started travelling the world and getting involved with all kinds of problems and conflicts - without much discrimination. She visited Ukraine, West Sahara, spoke about Artsakh/Armenia -she is obviously very involved with the Gaza Flotillas - if her climate activism can be interpreted as an activity meant to save the world, then her current activity of raising awareness of conflicts around the world is a mere continuation of this policy.
What is unique about her is how utterly selfless she is. She is not at all concerned about her own interest, about the interest of Sweden or Europe. Instead, she is always taking the global perspective: Here I am speaking for all of humanity. Us, as humans, cannot continue polluting the planet. Us, as humans, cannot accept what is happening in Gaza. Us, as humans, cannot stay silent at oppression.
She is not scared to put herself in danger to speak up for humanity.
Her outlook on the world is uniquely and utterly universal.
There are activists, including environmental activists, from all over the world. But how many of them are truly taking the perspective of humanity, of the planet the way Greta is?
You have environmental activists from India who have seen what industrial farming does to the countryside, you have Gaza activists from the Middle East who have great empathy with the oppression of their brethren, but do they equally care about Ukraine, a conflict that is far away, the way Greta does? Did they speak about Azerbaijan ethnically cleansing a hundred thousand Armenians? Do they care as much about problems that do not affect them?
Where is the Chinese middle class girl that hops on the Gaza flotilla?
Where is the Saudi girl that speaks about West Sahara?
Where is the Indonesian activist visiting devastated suburbs of Kyiv?
Say what you want about Greta, about European liberalism. You can talk about how self-destructive and self-denying liberalism for Western countries. But what you cannot deny is that it is precisely that which differentiates Europe and the wider West from the rest of the world.
Europe has a drive to the universal. Europe will never be satisfied cultivating itself and being happy in isolation.
Europe will always try to save the world; whether it's through Christianity, the "white man's burden", or even communism: That's what Europe is. And that's what Greta represents.
@miltonappl3 Might you liken this to yin-yang, duality, Zoroastrian dichotomy, or dialectic philosophy? Once I started prodding at this concept I simply see it in everything, I don't know why it's not more popular for how easy it is to understand, like night and day, positive and negative
The right hemisphere doesn't work in base ten but base-chiasmus, and access to it has been shut down like an ischemic stroke since the epistemological collapse of the humanities in 1810.

@BasedNorthmathr@B0ngb1ngb1ng OK but ask why we stopped the mass endorsement of state violence in the first place... Chesterton's fence lol. We went from the French revolution to the holocaust/atom bomb in 200 years, and the ruling elite said "nope no more"
@Flyingclameleon@PIRATE_ANZU each individual trait is influenced by so many genes and sequences even inherited traits don't manifest unless the genes express themselves, many don't
@Critical_Scribe@set71374 This is where I'd point out, just like in the Laotzu example, common sense isn't as common as you think. Just cause this stuff is apparent or obvious to you, doesn't mean the majority of normies pick up on narrative subtlety, and complex reference and metaphor
@RealRuckus117@SydSteyerhart literally this, malnutrition. I love Indian philosophy and culture, but centuries of veganism and poverty/malnutrition tends to prompt extremely stunted mental and emotional development
A lot of countries are going to absolutely plummet in population in the next 75 years.
You might see more images like this, an old stadium. Once grand infrastructure, no longer able to be sustained for its intended purpose, remade into something new but more mundane.
Like those living in the ruins of Roman civilization.
@HaVokGMG@itsKai611 Just like in sports, there's a chain or neurology going from your eyes to your brain, to your hand, and even the rest of your body. We call it hand eye coordination, and humans are really really good at it due to hunting animals with spears for a million years. You can't force it
@castanheiradoug I'd hazard a guess that dental hygeine in Brazil is ranked lower than most other countries. Massive country, humidity, tons of rural populations without access to dentists, diet high in processed grains and fruits
@tardedlib@shitposts_mp4 the meta is insane, this is an A tier shitpost, meme quality, song and all, but it's an ancient internet video about a prehistoric cambrean sea creature. was it even a shitpost back then
“Bruuuh get this, so the trees, okay, they talk to each other right?
They use an underground network of fungus and roots to send electrical signals and ask for nutrients, water, and even warn about danger okay?
Bro, it's basically an underground mushroom telephone. Mother trees have even been shown to recognize their offspring and favor them over other trees when sending nutrients.
Some trees even become bros and are careful not to take each other's sunlight space. The trees are sentient bro.
Its a symbiotic mushroom-tree relationship, man.” 🌿🍄🌳✨
