Brother have you heard of both young people, and the concept of 'having a future', death might be inevitable, it's still better to think about and implement things to quell the suffering, as well as to continue living with hope than to revel in the fact that we're all dying.

Hope isn't at the bottom of the box of Pandora without reason, it's both, condemning us to strive and suffer, and the only way to make anything of it.

The problem is obviously a general over reliance on motorized road transport and a continuing trend towards more.

Brother US (and maybe the UK) made the propaganda and the systems of the world, they are gonna be very effective for their goals.

Have you forgotten they are a superpower or something? They are the origin of that kind of red scare propaganda, and they always aimed most of it not at the inside but at everyone else.

It's certainly a saying here in Europe that we do what the US does ten years later (or that we do what they tell us to do) and it's a saying because it's core is true.

I listened to the entire and it struck a chord with me, it might be because I'm similarly petite bourgeois as the authors or something. But if you couldn't get through it I might suggest softly that you read chapter 4 first (or only).

To me the order the book has it in makes sense, but it might be the wrong one for you. It explains the What for 3/4 and then carefully answers the Why with a short story in the last 1/4. It is essentially a manifesto with a reason to believe in it as the last part.

For me the reason it worked is because the walk through philosophy and history sufficiently grounded the authors claims toward the necessity of economic planning and rewilding and in combination with my prior beliefs made the utopia real.

The problem that unfortunately remains with this book is how we get there, but to me it seems reasonable to leave that part out for this book, not just because of the violence and messiness, but also because it seems like the much harder part to coherently write as well.

Edit: I've played one round of the game and it's fun, perhaps a bit easy after knowing the content of the book.

People don't need to be able to buy cars. The vast majority can't anyways. So why should the second richest percent of Ethiopia be able to.

The not interested doesn't work, the don't recommend me videos from this channel works perfectly, and if the first video I get recommended of a channel is so repulsive to me I actually care to do something about it, the entire channel is probably bad anyways.

I've been playing beamNg for 4+ years and it's been in ea the entire time since 2015, possibly the best car game you can get for 20€.

Slay the spire I've also owned since early access, it's maybe the most beautiful single player card game to exist. Although it only spent 1-2 years in ea.

Don't be the first to buy ea games I guess but if the game is already fun why not.

Don't you also have both ?; Escaping to an aggrandized past for dread of the future and daydreaming about an idealized future self to wash over past shortcomings.

Honestly worshipping the sun the river the mountain and the tree makes so much more sense than the abrahamic religions.

Like why shouldn't the spirit of cats be happy when I feed some cats. Why should the god of the mountain not punish me for littering. It simply makes more sense for your spiritual thoughts or emotions to be grounded in specific phenomenon.

Opening an issue that is a feature request is hardly a contribution, especially if there are few full time devs it might be a distraction more than a contribution, and there is like 1 open source competitor.

Ideas are free, finished working code is expensive, if the devs think they can't get to it in the next N years they probably just don't want to see it.

As I said I don't buy how this would be an actual problem, maybe it's rude but who cares, the admin is essentially an end user demanding something, at the end of the day he can write it himself or stfu. The devs time will certainly be spent better almost anywhere else than arguing on a GitHub issue.
