Also yeah that doesn't look like an overly strong lock
It did
The key is missing
Could probably do it with a paperclip lol
Possibly.
'cause it's probably more of a latch than an actual "keyed" thing.
Yeah.
Probably
Also I read what you @ me to earlier @Jeremy but tbh I’m having a hard time understanding. Basically you’re saying that this isn’t a “negative space” (which I kinda understand wym) and that fighting will never stop so it shouldn’t be a goal to beat everyone?
I just wanted to complain about it
Negative space? No, I'm saying competing interests, arising from individuals pursuing their own self-interest, isn't something you want to eliminate, but rather constrain within a framework of law. An example of preserving the ability to compete, let's say in a market, would be anti-trust laws to either break up a monopoly within a market or fine a group of firms colluding with one another to regulate an industry with entry-barriers and so forth, as a means of eliminating competition and maximize profits. Murder is also a given, you confine this within law.
Negative presence I’m sorry
Indeed.
Anyway what did I saw that made you say that? I just want to know the context
It's beneficial to markets, say when you have multiple firms competing to offer a higher quality product at a lower cost. As goes the same for competitive labor markets; laborers competing for higher wages by becoming more productive. I'm merely using this as an example of individuals pursuing self-interest.
You see, there's a fundamental misunderstanding by insinuating we can ever live in peace.
And any attempts at forcing it, eliminating the ability of peoples to pursue self-interest, is futile, ending with what we've observed time and again by ideologues believing they can.
To force people in harmony would require you to force each to forgo what is of interest to themselves.
I think there is also collective interest involved though too
But Nation vs Nation
And you should get them to work together
In sync
You can think of families as collectives, the child cannot pursue its own interests
And it’s not really beneficial for a parent to raise it
Now days
But people still have kids (although not as much)
Increasing women’s education reduced birth rates
And collectively when demographics implode that’s a bad thing I don’t see the market fixing
There is always a level of collective interest anywhere you go.
This is a given.
Well yeah, but I think that has more to do with women going into colleges
On a bigger rate
My trouble is how can we actually fight this. Even if we red pill people there are still thousands more being trafficked into our country that will mindlessly vote for the left
But also birth control
Immigration is a good example of collective interests fighting each other imo
But I don’t think we can at this point
Too many are let in they will not assimilate
Unless it’s violent
And thus keep to their own and vote for their own interests, and not those of Americans
