    Well I came here saying to bring a natural balance to things. Am I an idiot? Of course natural ways are complex and contradictory, as is a human being and its society. That fact in itself should be enough to realize that there is no one right way, and that balancing things out does not inherently mean there is one right way, if anything, it's the opposite: balancing suggests to put a bit of this there, and a bit of this here, and cut this here, add that there...

    I agree: I used "the capitalist" and "the socialist" in order to hitch on the narrative of that video (and auxien's response) and get my point across using these analogies, because I believe those simplifications are adequate to recognize two distinct societal vectors, but because of the broadness of the subject (problem), I agree, it is an oversimplification. Hence I said "Or maybe instead of socialists I should say people who want to bring some sort of natural balance". This is where I fall in.

    I want to say that instead of seeing classes as levels which are above or below each other, we should see classes as parallels. The only reason the capitalist has this power buffer is because not all people with comparable intellectual prowess have the same interest in owning and running companies. Some want to be artists, other scientists/researchers... But because the capitalist dictates the "trend" (this is not a natural way) those fall below them. Which allows the capitalist to trojan-horse himself towards more and more power, now also dictating the value of people and their professions, also dictating the discourse. It's like having a moderator that only allows people to talk about oranges, and how growing oranges is above everything. But there are people with the same level of competence that like pears, grapes, apples, etc. Are those people worth less? They are not. But because the capitalist moderates the discussion, he only allows oranges to be seen as the only way to go. And everybody else is seen as sub-par.

    That's not only a problem on this forum but everywhere capitalism vs. socialism debates happen. And I dare to say that failing to recognize the legitimacy of others' narrative can more often be attributed to people advocating (free, liberal) capitalism than it is to the people advocating socialism. Or maybe instead of socialists I should say people who want to bring some sort of natural balance. Capitalism has this inertia that doesn't like to take anything else into their accounts but checks and balances. Hence there must be some sort of regulation. Unfortunately, because the capitalists own the initiative and wield more immediate power, more often than not, their will is imposed onto labor, with the latter coming up with regulations with a distinct time lag, and with an obvious struggle to be heard and taken seriously. Now the capitalist wants to separate himself from this struggle by investing into robotics and AI.

    It could as well be the logic board. I have 4 HDDs lying in my closet because of this. Lots of data lost forever, unless some miracle...

    Rather unusual to request your roommates to communicate their time of arrival, myself I've never seen this to be a common practice nor necessary tbh. But each have their own experience, and maybe in your case it's necessary, idk. Living with roommates is weird and can be quite frustrating, even if all involved are generally sensible human beings. What I learned is that apart from having strict rules, you should always adhere to them, no matter what. Once you slack, or make an exception, it's over quite quickly. What I mean is that you should make it a priority for yourself to always clean after yourself immediately. Have a schedule for cleaning the kitchen and bathroom thoroughly once a week and keep up the standard everyday and AFTER EVERY USE. That way you make an example, and keep the standard high.

    I think I know what's going on. Someone, or something wants to stop this human craze. Evergreen, get it? Could be the aliens. I wish I am right about this.

    Don't hide. Embrace the opportunity. Such events occur only once every 100 years.

    there was a time when I thought about starting such a thread. i could feel the pride for my thundering farts penetrating my conscience: i was on top of the world. gazing into the light, soothing in putrid methane substance that was once air, i realized that i am only but a vessel for a greater sire: the one that lives in billions inside my bowels, one that truly reigns this world. i am nothing compared to him; whose mysterious ways and ancient wisdom give birth to such thread-ripping thunders and thick, pure methane atmosphere that can kill, but also create life of its own. being so close to the creator drives people away in disgust, one's dwelling becomes a pit of stale despair.... and... if untreated, death by suffocation.

    Personally I like Kill Bill and Jackie Brown the most. Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are cool, but I've seen them so many times. 4 Rooms had a nice idea, it reminded me of a theater play in some way, but in the end it turned out kind of bland, idk, only watched it once. Haven't watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood yet. Inglorious Basterds was quite fun, but for some reason Brad Pitt's accent and character really bothered me, except when he was speaking Italian ("Grazy") - that was fucking hillarious. The whole theatre scene with Landa is very funny.

    Idk, to me JP seems like a guy who really believes the stuff he's selling, so maybe not a grifter but definitely a guy with a superority complex (i'm the guy who will save the modern man) which aligns well with his preaching (heavy individualusm and achieving). He is a clinical psychologist by profession so he probably had to seethe through much of troubled human psyche. That leaves a mark on a person who works in such environment despire how much one believes it cannot affect him. Inevitably he came to certain conclusions about how society should be structured and how people operate/ behave in it. He lacks wisdom and intellectual detachment (ironic as it is) or broadness or suppleness of mind that will allow him to stop looking at the world as a dog-eat-dog jungle. I mean he is clearly a product of his mind and environment: his "solution" is as narrow-minded and neo-liberal as it can get. And it sprung out of his narrow focus on a prehistoric human psyche trying to get the grips on the world of predatory success. However, articulators such as him (and that shapiro toddler) are very much needed in today's system (that's why they are given air time and platforms). They have to explain to the masses how the new feudalism works and how to function in it. They are the think tank for the layman.
