@STLD98@SHComposer@whstancil Read classics and take them seriously, it is looking into a way of thought completely alien to yours.
You can only tell we're missing something, I believe it to be connection and I want it.
@cliddle@perpsx@ArmandDoma@ScooterMcGee99@whstancil IQ isn't intelligence per say, but whatever it is correlates success in western society.
The brain will develop for what needs to be done in each environment. Planning (farming) vs Tracking (hunting) for instance.
Lack of seasons make preservation less valuable, so do maggots
@cliddle@perpsx@ArmandDoma@ScooterMcGee99@whstancil We're forced to look backwards and reason it. There are very high amounts of possibilities, we just know how natural selection works and the results.
If intelligence is always a net positive, hominids wouldn't be so unique. I've suggested energy usage as a limiter.
@SHComposer@STLD98@whstancil I want to be subject to bonds I cannot control and have obligations in turn.
The only methods of this still possible are childhood and parenthood. The only things that have value anymore.
Nobility would treat us better than local councillors. As the monarch than the MPs.
@SHComposer@STLD98@whstancil I don't want a free society. I want one of obligations and duties.
The word 'Bond' simultaneously means connection and captivity. You become free of both or neither.
A free socity is one of atomised narcassim where nobody cares about each other, but at least we get cheap tat.
@SHComposer@STLD98@whstancil Bronze Age tribalism, from 4000 BC to 1948 AD. Only small tribes get 'rights' we had for millennia.
Since you don't like calling it a right: I expect a homeland.
I do not want ugly universalist structures or people ravaging it. I like particular England.
@STLD98@SHComposer@whstancil Urbanisation of my town. I have to see a multistorey monstrosity of a car park next to what you can tell are quaint English houses.
I've been well informed that this is just "Times changing" and "Why do you care?".
@Nomenum12 @Refined_Neko @KingOfSalt4 Be more precise when talking about certain topics.
e.g.
When I see Blacks unite over one of their own being wronged - that is racism, they only care about the supposed victim because of their race.
I don't want to take that away from them but I wish my own race did so too.
