what... no. Fat is long hydrocarbon chains while sugars are cyclical molecules with hydroxyl groups... no. just no

All things vanish in good time. It is not important that it exists indefinitely. The only important thing is that we had this conversation. This page too will vanish into the depths of the internet and you will move on and I will move on.

I wish only for all to recognize the value of their labor to contribute to…

Omelas is just human existence. There is always the orphan starving. Life is suffering.

It is life and death. The struggle and weight of existence. Is it better to let separation of consumption from production leave children working in factories out of sight. Or to drag the elements into light so that we can all judge and weigh for ourselves what we want and are willing to accept.

Omelas is within our minds. We all already live there if we chose to reject building society better. If we chose to take and take rather than give.

I think I understand where our ideas varied now. I agree that oftentimes the people discussing the issue have want to throw their authority around. I think it can be harmful, I think it can be helpful. I suppose we would have to know more than we can know about the commentators themselves to understand where they are…

If you think internet discussion is a place to bring about consensus especially in the context of oppression then you are expecting too much. There is only more experience to be added to the discussion. those who attempt to corral and drive the discussion to include things the topic is not about can do so in helpful…

If you see it that way lol. Most tend to see it as including multiple perspectives... A sort of consensus building about the state and nature of oppression. The end result much like scientific consensus being a more full picture of the reality of oppression and its results.

What program? I work in a neuroscience lab that is mostly women and man does it make things a lot nicer and easier. It is funny because now the men are seen as lazy shitty workers because generally they don’t work as hard. It is a pleasant place.

Sorry for your struggle.

I agree with you about arguing with him. I always talk to people online though, its worthwhile.

We are all creatures of faith. You place your faith in human observation in the form of science. You place faith in our systems and the results of these being access to commodities. To be a true skeptic is to constantly…

Yeah, because I recognize it. Luckily for me. Many people don’t recognize it and end up with personality disorders or repeating cycles of abuse. Think about it as game theory. You recognize it and adjust your behavior or you fail to recognize it and you just are. All choices are limited by knowledge... we were just…

We all base a significant amount of our personality and ideology off the the things that happen to us as a kid. Welcome to the lived experience of being human.

Oh my god! I wonder if this is why I am an atheist as well. I remember reading that kids bible as well!

Fuck yes. Thank you for your words. This will continue on and on until we all build a better system that doesn’t empower these people. Forget trying to dismantle the system with voting and the tools of the system. We need to demonstrate that we flat out do not need these people and their pseudo “justice.”

To give freely so that others may not suffer is the true measure of a revolutionary. godspeed.

The limits of growth comes friends. 15 years to the end game! Let us hope our socialist brothers throws the capitalist pigdogs into the ocean and reigns in the excesses to solve this crises. God help us if it is left to the likes of conservatives.

The only solutions worth thinking about are the ones that make us as much money compared to our investment as possible. -A fool planning to die when the limits to growth hit.

Also, without the constant need for 24/7 production to drive profits... There will not be such a demand on overnight power grids.

Shhh, then we would have to slow our pace of living and consumption and that doesn’t feed the beast/specter of capitalism’s bloodlust quick enough.

RELEASE THE NAMESSSSS!!!! GIVE THEM TO USSSSSS!!!! WE WILL FEAST ON THEIRRRR TEARSSSSS!!!!
