a goal is bad, a goal is too vague and can become tainted
Well what is a solution without a goal then?
a solution without a goal is a fix 😉
I'm a nineteen year old who up until two years ago couldn't operate a toaster due to my overprotective mom, yknow? My knowledge is decent but I still need to learn practical skills and how the world works in order to not make things worse for the people I wanna represent
I'm not doing anything until I'm ready to do anything because I don't want to let myself or the people I wish to help down
Remember this:
Lefties think in goals (We must get equality, stop racism) but they don't know how, just "we must achieve X"
Right wingers think in systems (We must have freedom so ideas can roam) but thats not inspirational
Ultimately both sides want the same thing, Improvement, but one wants to find Any fix to one problem, and the other wants One fix to any problem
Neither will work together as a result, find a solution in which you can get both working together
hence its a SOLUTION
Yeah but if someone sets fire to a house without reason, is that a solution?
Either way, people have more common ground than they think; we all want better. So the key is to remind people we're mostly a well-meaning people
a solution needs a reason, but it doesn't need a goal
Give people faith in each other again
And make abhorrent anyone who stands in the way of rationality and peace
hehe i had an overprotective mom as well :P hehe somewhat
yeah its rough man, i dont know exactly how it affected you, but i feel like i havent been out confronting chaos enough
if thats the case for you as well, then you might wanna try putting yourself in unfamiliar situations to correct it slowly
But not in a fascisty way, in a "Okay come back to the fold when you grow up but otherwise don't get involved" way
I'd recommend you go look up "Real coffee with Scott Adams" he does daily livestreams about current events and talks about society problems / fixes etc
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfpnY5NnBl-8L7SvICuYkYQ
He's the guy who writes Dillbert Comics
Interesting, thank you for the recommendation
yeah he's great, i dont always agree with him, but he's definitly worth a listen
he makes you think and tries to make you look a bit further ahead
interesting commentary
Well how is there no connection between a reason & a goal? I can create solutions to things that may make sense to me, but might be insane to you. But what must be done hat to done?
but lunch so afk
i'd reccomend jordan peterson as well, and particularily on the brain structure and politics.
ive come to the view that both the left and right view the world in a different way, and both ways are sort of viable
I watch some JP too
its interesting right? how he talks about politics, left and right... and brains
he asked; "why do we have 2 hemispheres?" and most animals have it as well
There's a channel not really known called Liana K that's pretty alright, she's quite a rational person
Only 23k subs
Because let us consider the perspective of the sjw types, because they have a solution in their own eyes, & it is the one they need to do in their perspective to accomplish some thing.
Don't agree with her 100% but she's alright
oh yeah i think ive heard of her, liana k had a small role in the gamergate controversy
You guys know the kavanaugh hearings are just a show right ?
Dude is already going to get confirmed because repubs have the house
Yes
I feel like some people thought different like the protestors
You know, I am real happy the Americans got the lead out of their petrol despite corporate lobbying.
"A common solution" then da Britain
if you wanna get that level of specific on what i said 😛
What are common solutions?
Liana K is a bit weird. Like she's usually pretty rational and then occasionally she just throws a big curveball that you'd never expect from her. Like last time I heard of her she was in favor of Count Dankula's charges.
a common solution is one that both sides can be happy with
like if Hitler arose, both left and right in america would agree to get rid of him
A common solution 😉
