  • Rojava/DNAS has some good ideas.

    I think there will be a sudden abundance when food waste is distributed instead of landfilled, housing is rent free and not locked away as an investment.

    Most of the systems that make society function are already not profit motivated so most will continue to function in transition. We see this happen every natural disaster, the workers of a critical facility sticking through because their work is meaningful.

    Won’t be totally comfortable but i disagree with the opinion it will be a death sentence for many.






  • Iteration isn’t a claim that the predecessor was a failure though, you iterate on the successes of the prior generation. It used to be that technology advanced so rapidly that the cutting edge became obsolete in a matter of a few years, but for that time it was a success.

    I think there’s also an assumption of design philosophy here. One designer might put many generalized requirements into their design, then you get Google glasses, AI, NFTs and so on. This means everything is a failure because it couldn’t achieve the requirements. Others may pick a small set of very specific requirements, then you get the iPhone or a Toyota hilux. These are massive successes because they had cohesion in the idea and planned as to about compromise.


  • Look, careers aren’t about doing your job well, they’re about being likeable whether or not you’re competent. If people like you you’ll get paid more even if you can’t figure out how to export a word document.

    I agree wholeheartedly, OP doesn’t deserve the bashing, meme is dead on. My daily experience.









  • All trauma and people are different. I’m not prescribing anything.

    When i was going through mine from a severe work accident i had to not just sit with the feeling and adrenaline waking up after watching meaningless gore-filled horror shows in my dreams but push into it. Feeling it as hard as i possibly could telling myself that I WANTED and NEEDED to feel it, trying my best to think about every detail of it. It was horrible to experience that, but in the moment i was focused on seeing my trauma and getting to know it.

    It seemed the deeper into it i went the faster it receded over time. The worst of it, fits of adrenaline filled crippling anxiety, went from daily to null over 3 years. The wincing about the thought dulled over the following few. I settled at some point on just having a heightened internal sense of empathy. It’s probably why i avoid a lot of visual format social media.

    I hope you find a method that works for you. You may not get back to your old normal but you can get to a normal where you can live life in whole again free from this pain.

    I guess yeah the only reason i felt like season 8 was a better production than Disney star wars was because of the previous 6-7 seasons building such a firm foundation. That’s a beautiful insult to them that their writing was seen as worse than the gold standard of slop at the time.

    at season 8 theyr recieved a mouthwatering contract for star wars and just wanted to get rid of GoT,

    If they worked on a star wars movie I’m not convinced season 8 suffered from them “rushing it” or putting anything less than every last drop of their souls into the writing.

    The rest of the comment is dead on.
