I mean it feels weird and alien to us too.
All of it makes a lot more sense when viewed through the lens of who has money and who wants that money.

alignedchaos@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•the agent's argument in the matrix61·1 year ago“Objective worth” is a bit of an oxymoron, because worth is up to your value judgment.
If you’re questioning the “evolutionary imperative” that organisms want to pass on genes - one fairly human trait is that a lot of us can consciously diverge from that instinct, either fulfilling that need by passing on our legacies socially rather than genetically, or just not looking to pass anything on at all.
Something we have in common with other mammals is we prioritize whatever experience is in front of us. Anyone who’s directly affected by catastrophes and strife will have different beliefs than people who aren’t.
So if objective worth has no neat answer, what’s left?
I’d say it’s interesting to have so many different subjective experiences in one world, with a language-based society able to communicate and share many more varied experiences than most animals. Interesting isn’t inherently good or bad, but if nothing was good nor bad then nothing would be interesting.
So yea. Human life is entertaining. We’ve got that going for us!
P.S. If you’ve ever lived in a city whose infrastructure is strained by overpopulation, you don’t necessarily view declining/shifting populations as a bad thing.

Who do you feel the need to convince of this? Yourself? Lol
What’s crazier than your weirdly combative, out of touch comment is the fact 6 other people decided to upvote it.
When large corps make news laying off 30% of staff, those people are getting severance packages.
Did you get lost and end up in the 1850s?
Their guess sounds really plausible though

I think it’s especially absurd to place your trust in Mozilla FurryFox and their team of stereotypical SJWs and soydevs …
In 2020 this person was substituting coherent points with trite schoolyard namecalling from over a decade before. So that dude’s not only an incoherent idiot but also dangerous. Man.

alignedchaos@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Joe Biden wins New Hampshire primary despite not being on ballot4·1 year agoSorry to pick on your comment, but I have a question about a statement everyone seems to assert…
Is he charismatic? No.
(As a disclaimer I’m out of touch with people’s impressions on this)
I don’t understand this statement from everyone. Charismatic compared to what? He’s way more charismatic than most humans - he’s a career politician who manages thousands of relationships. He snaps off solid one-liners to shut down trolls. He leaned into the Dark Brandon thing. If he spent effort seeming even more charismatic, I’d be more concerned about his fitness for the job.
Put another way, I see him as having the right balance of charisma for voters aged 35+.
What are people wishing we had instead of that, in a presidential candidate?
