IT IS THE SAME THING

2017-03-14 14:16:23 UTC  

I dont accept the modern faith of Progress

2017-03-14 14:16:27 UTC  

IMPROVED IN QUALITY

2017-03-14 14:16:30 UTC  

NOT A CHANGE IN THINGS

2017-03-14 14:16:34 UTC  

THEN THAT IS NOT PROGRESS

2017-03-14 14:16:50 UTC  

Seems a bit semantic

2017-03-14 14:17:12 UTC  

What is progress if not positive qualitative change

2017-03-14 14:20:44 UTC  

Progress is bullshit. What most people mean by progress is an infinite material amelioration of the human condition. It's all quantity. No thought or care is given to categories of well-being and spiritual satisfaction that are actually undermined by material progress, and which completely negate the material amerloriation

2017-03-14 14:21:03 UTC  

NOT SEMANTIC

2017-03-14 14:21:07 UTC  

PROGRESS IMPLIES CHANGE IN APPROACH

2017-03-14 14:21:15 UTC  

I read about a 30 year old investment banker woman who got up one day, rode the elevator to the top of he building, and jumped off.

2017-03-14 14:21:19 UTC  

QUALITATIVE = NO CHANGE IN APPROACH AS THIS IS TIMELESS; INSTEAD< GET BETTER AT IT

2017-03-14 14:21:20 UTC  

she had experienced real progress.

2017-03-14 14:21:28 UTC  

ACCELERATIONISM

2017-03-14 14:21:35 UTC  

happens all the time.

2017-03-14 14:21:37 UTC  

9.8 M/S^2

2017-03-14 14:21:40 UTC  

suicide by progress

2017-03-14 14:21:41 UTC  

PEOPLE ARE MISERABLE

2017-03-14 14:21:43 UTC  

UNDER MODERNITY

2017-03-14 14:21:46 UTC  

PROGRESS IS BULLSHIT

2017-03-14 14:21:49 UTC  

agreed

2017-03-14 14:21:59 UTC  

WE NEED BETTER, NOT DIFFERENT

2017-03-14 14:21:59 UTC  

I used to be a believer, believe me. I was an INFP lol

2017-03-14 14:22:08 UTC  

@fallot ^^^ THAT IS THE DISTINCTION IN SHORTHAND

2017-03-14 14:22:21 UTC  

INFP = I NEED FISTING PRIVILEGES

2017-03-14 14:22:24 UTC  

?

2017-03-14 14:22:29 UTC  

nevermind.

2017-03-14 14:22:36 UTC  

BUT(T) SERIOUSLY, I DISLIKE PROGRESS AS A NOTION

2017-03-14 14:22:36 UTC  

I'm an INTP now anyway.

2017-03-14 14:22:42 UTC  

Moi aussi

2017-03-14 14:22:51 UTC  

and again, I was a believer. I was miserable.

2017-03-14 14:22:56 UTC  

MOST PEOPLE ARE

2017-03-14 14:22:59 UTC  

BUT CANNOT ARTICULATE IT

2017-03-14 14:23:11 UTC  

I've become more stable and "happy" the less I believe in progress.

2017-03-14 14:23:31 UTC  

Even my wife is calming down some and she's a mess due to a hyper liberal upbringing

2017-03-14 14:23:38 UTC  

she even voted for Trump

2017-03-14 14:23:45 UTC  

not that Trump will save us

2017-03-14 14:24:11 UTC  

@diversity_is_racism if I just say what you call accelerationism is progress is that the differences fixed

2017-03-14 14:24:13 UTC  

ESCAPING LIBERALISM = MENTAL CLARITY PLUS STABILITY

2017-03-14 14:24:22 UTC  

The most progressive people I know in Minneapolis are the craziest and fucked up

2017-03-14 14:24:24 UTC  

After all to lefties
