Says it second paragraph

From what I'm hearing, Burning Man to actual artistic freedom/individuality is like what Five Seconds Of Summer are to punk music

😂 😂 😂

Wish I had money to sponsor, but I'm starting university soon so funds are low

University is way to expensive

@tmg copper it says those are examples of things they *don't* do

"Examples of revenue that Burning Man opts out of:"

Damn I guess I read to quick

I Am Fake News

feel like glastonburys kinda lost it... there was 135k people there last year

How the world has fallen...

world? or west?

some countries seem to be on an upwards trend

I mean, to be fair there's still good artistic events. Metal concerts are still booming

True

seems like the so called "culture war" is trying to change value from capital to social status

feels like that study about baby girls looking more towards people and baby boys looking more towards objects and systems might be relevant

A lot of people are being lifted out of poverty apparently.

I don't think everything is falling.

maybe with more women in high places the west shifts from valuing capital to more of a social status kinda thing being more important

until its somewhere in the centre

which is where a communist system would work better for them... where money is less important than status

the meritocracy comes from who merits higher social merit

or "becomes" rather

Why does youtube even have thumbs down in the comment section anymore

That stopped working years ago, it's like holy shit

Just remove it.

Probably as a placebo so that people will feel less inclined to write comments to people they disagree with

Or maybe it counts as something of a soft-report with people who consistently get tons of downvotes becoming more likely to be banned

But yeah, it's dumb. I really dislike the whole comment rating thing to begin with

Well.

I think there should be some form of downvoting.

Because I do like upvoting. Just not... when it slants so far one way.

How do you correct idiocy when it has 700 thumbs up. It biases whoever sees it

Everyone knows that whoever writes the biggest wall of text is the one who's the most right.

I think that indicates who is wrong, usually.

When you respond with 3 lines

And then you get 3 paragraphs
