So less facelips and more buttlips

Also, I’ve seen it in a video. It’s pretty whistley

Thanks. I might

Silicone too for that matter, what with proton decay and all that.

Impressive. Most impressive

I never played bg but according to wiki it’s a he. So he got a sex change? If you’re undead I guess that’s trivial. A bit of duct tape.

I feel you

There was that buddhist monk kid who bent spoons

Might imply that meditation can do it

But we’re always trying to increase revenue and decrease cost. That’s biological. It’s a constant.

So enshittification and change for the worse look alike. So maybe conflate them

So the only thing free from this constant worsening is that which we give special attention to improving. (Ex : technology)

(It’s a strong argument for personal discipline. Chaos is the norm. Insanity is the norm. Rot is the norm. Etc)

Well I figured if you create more people then you create more customers. And with new frontiers comes new opportunities to dump product into taming that frontier (thus more sales of product). And if people die then the birthrate fills the hole and delivers new customers. And disasters function much like new frontiers.

Sounds like Cory is pointing fingers. Has any society ever curtailed our hunger for more? Harnessed that of the underclass. Gave free rein to that of the overclass. Yes. But never inhibited.

I guess things could be better if we avoided saturation.

Through death, disaster, expanding population or new frontiers

I think that farmers have been wiping out forests since forever.

I think the hoarding urge might be genetic. An expression of chronic anxiety.

This is where psychedelics and meditation come in.

The house of representatives is arguably a technology (or something like that. A shared machine?). Technologies are a special case. We’ve got big groups of people actively striving to improve them.

The casual, half-neglected “everything else” is the norm. Tragedy of the commons and progressively intensified exploitation of that commons is the norm.

Unless it is specifically protected and fostered it gets chewed to bits. The only thing that really protects it is keeping it out of reach (through lack of communication, transportation or whatever)

Hey medicpig says no.

Literally!

When you side with the mob, when you express unoriginally, it weakens you.

And eventually you are too weak to do anything but conform.

Words need meanings medicpig. Can’t say anything about it if you don’t have a meaning to go with the word.

Consider,

A guy sees something fitting the description for God.

And then there’s a guy who read about what that guy saw.

And there’s a guy who read about what that second guy thought about that.

And all three of those guys mean something completely different when they say “God”. Because one guy saw it, and the next guy read about it, and the next guy read about reading about it.

So what do you mean? And what do I mean?

Well that’s pretty fuzzy.

Makes sense.
