you're on a good track there
also the right track to figure out why tribalism works the way it does
to a limit though
yes
Altruism is only beneficial, if the people don't need it in the first place
Else they become dependent, and then can't survive without you
and since they dont need it in the first place for altruism to be beneficial, it doesnt work
that would depend on how you exhibit your altruism.
blindly doing anything is not, generally, logical.
and just handing out things for free without reason is blind altruism

look it up
it's a thing
which definition you want me to follow?
this really isint the room for this discussion but my natural instinct is to help people. though it is a cost/benefit/familiarity/extremity analysis on my part
suggestion: "newsroom-commentary" as a room
i'd just say a general off-topic channel
Cuz half of these things aren't really news nor shitposting
nor fake 😉
ANOTHA ONE
another day, another shooting
that statement has been true since the 20's, maybe even before
wow 8 people dead in that texas shooting
at least
"An armed person walked into an art class at the school and began firing what looked like a shotgun, a witness told CNN affiliate KTRK."
CNN later today: Ban assault weapons
Performance Art
Is done the aisle the the right
the left: "Ban high cap mags, AR-15s, and semi autos to prevent another tragedy like this!"
observant people: "But.... that wouldn't have banned a pump action shotgun."
i'm sure most of those people see "assault weapon" as any weapon you can attack (assault) with
#EndageredSpeciesDay is trending on twitter. US students aren't on the list. No need to worry yet.
what about black liberals?
those are extinct already
non on the wild.

anyone here read Utopia?
its interesting the similarities with 1984, except with the opposite viewpoint... like obrien says I dont want to force you to do this, I want you to want to "be a good citizen" kinda thing... but in Utopia its more about all the Utopians rather than a specific character... but the way it describes things... like "everyone can go to bed whenever they want, but they all want to go to bed at a reasonable time".. the idea of Utopia seems to be a place where everyone just thinks the same
also utopia seems to have slavery 😛 .. but I guess it was written in the 1500's so...
but on the 1984 thing... its like with 1984, its written with the idea of "this is a bad thing".. and with Utopia its written with the idea of "this is a good thing"
wasn't the opposite of 1984, Brave New World?
I mean its the opposite in the way of basically writting the same story
like, the same story, but with the opposite view on whether its good or bad
That seems to be how people these days view communist.
