You could argue that Musk didn't mean to make a Nazi salute and that he was just being awkward, which isn't new to him. That he was simply excited and meant to signify that but it came off as Nazi salute.

Its Leo's dick all the way down if you're a meat rider.

This is why I hate continental philosophy and why I'm dropping out of my philosophy studies. The content itself is fine for my purposes but its overly obtuse.

Well, American school mass shootings are a uniquely American phenomena at the scale and frequency. It very well may be due tat Christianity and their form of democracy influence that particular outcome. I'm not saying that for certain but it seems premature to write that of as a possibility wholesale. Likewise, the Islam practiced in the medieval ages could be in favor of slavery. Religion isn't a stagnant ideology, it tends to change over time. Past religions tend to be more backwards in general.

Elon Musk is like a braggadocios 12 year old. Boasting about being a hardcore gamer while playing like a boomer. Smoking weed to come of as cool. Nazi saluting to be edgy. The fact that he is 4 times 12 plus 5 just makes it embarrassing and pathetic.

"In order to ensure security and continued stability, the government will be reorganized as the first American empire, for a safe and secure society."

Its so grey. Like a concrete landfill. You can almost taste the dustiness coming through these pictures.

Its technically illegal to host Tiktok in America as of now though Trump has said that no one will be held liable if they do. Trump hasn't "unbanned" Tiktok, merely delayed it, probably to eek out an American purchase.

😩😩😩

This reminds me of Kierkegaard, who famously broke off his engagement with his then fiance for unclear reasons but people speculate that he couldn't marry his fiance without compromising his philosophical work and therefor choose philosophy. I've also heard that he could only afford to support himself with his fathers inheritance and he would have to get a "real job" if he went and got married, which would undermine his philosophy work even more. So it was a "killing your darlings" situation.

There is no such thing as unconditional love when it comes to a relationship because of your individual needs and desires. You didn't feel loved by your ex because she wasn't reciprocating in a way that you wanted. relationships, and by extension love, should be compatible in terms of wants and needs. In your case, your partner should be someone that loves to receive gifts and which in turn gives you the praise that you desire. I think the description "love is an economy" perfectly encapsulates how human relationships work and just how conditional they are by nature. Being in a relationship is basically a trade deal. I give you X, you give me Y.

If the solution is creating a cult then I don't see self-sufficient communities being a viable alternative for most people. Besides, that kind of system makes you even more vulnerable for abuse as you become completely dependent on the commune. What recourse do you have if for example a high-ranking and well respected member rapes you? None. The only viable kind of commune that I can see working is a very soft one which acts more like just a communal living space, still enmeshed with society. People have day jobs, etc. but pool their resources.

Would you seek power if you didn't have to worry about rent? I'd wager most aren't interested. It takes a certain kind of narcissism and ambition to want power.

The issue has always been a lack of opportunity for the common person to live a comfortable and good life. If afforded a high standard of living, do you care about being an elite or not ? I'd wager that most people are content being average socioeconomically as long as they enjoy a good enough standard of living, Scandinavian countries being top ranking in global happiness for instance. Nobody cares about wealth inequality granted that they live comfortably and society runs well.

So basically a soft-anarchism where you are still subject to the reigning sovereign power but act self-sufficient from wider society. Basically a commune at this point. I see its niche value but scarcity will be a challenge and relative isolation can engender abuse and make it harder to treat problems that would be easily handled by social services, like police, ambulances or the fire department. Large communes like Christiania tend to declind and get overrun by criminals and drug addicts long-term as they lack the structure necessary to maintain stability. Building and maintaining a society is very difficult.

Brainless entertainment. Like that rat in that Skinner experiment that presses the pedal for free heroin but less severe and more cringey.

The problem with anarchists is that they want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to oust their sovereign power in favor of a voluntarist community but with none of the ugly violence, gang wars and scarcity that'll come from a deregulated society. Chaos and the freedom to commit rape and murder with no recourse are features of anarchy, not flaws. However, if unregulated violence, which will inevitably happen in the absence of a adjudicating police force and resource scarcity, is a flaw to you, then anarchy isn't for you. And it isn't for the vast majority of people save a couple of demons that would revel in the chaos.

Truth social is just Twitter for people who got banned off Twitter.

I find your English subpar but your advice is great. It doesn't always connect but when it does I find it rings true.

Imagine being the world's richest man yet so very insecure.

Some people just want to believe. No amount of convincing will change their mind.
