@KatKenyon1 @SydSteyerhart But the meter is a huge part of the value of the original… all translations are inadequate in some way, and only attempting to translate the meaning is definitely one of them
@sull1vannolan@paleonormie@heavenlycaprice Yeah, a lot of ppl act like going to luxury resorts and national parks makes them superior. Others actually do open their minds, learn, and grow from travel. You can see the same dichotomy in how people behave within their own communities. Travel’s not special in that regard
@Galningen147561@Fat_Electrician You would starve. But the original post was about survival tied to being employed by someone else. That’s not saying you just magically survive for free. No one thinks that…
@Fat_Electrician We had agriculture like 10k years before we had capitalism. Regardless of which economic system is better you should at least demonstrate you understand history…
@PrincesumOfSun @newstart_2024 Intelligence is not some sort of unitary trait but rather a cluster of related and unrelated traits, subjectively defined by each culture. Ppl will condescendingly swoop in with their own definitions and they are always inadequate
@just_mindy The answer to the paradox lies in the gigantic wealth discrepancy between Mexicans and Americans. It also helps to learn more about the history of foreign investment in Mexico, and of course our legacy of immigration. I promise it’s not because you’re a victim
@Lion_IRC@waldenpod I mean on the other hand you are humanizing it/them which also isn’t neutral. Biology doesn’t answer what a “person” is, that’s more of a culturally determined moral category
@samson_samsen Overly rigid morals are the cause of a solid chunk of the world’s problems. Ethical systems are human and therefore imperfect and require some degree of flexibility in application. Also, forgiveness is good in the first place
@tafphorisms Rational and selfish are two different things. I’m so confused about when the Reddit nihilists claimed a monopoly over the concept of logic. If your goal is something other than self-preservation, blue could be a perfectly logical choice
