some epistemology might help. especially to knock the scientismists off their high horse.

  Naomi Klein on Her New Book “Doppelganger” & How Conspiracy Culture Benefits Ruling Elite
  
  We spend the hour with acclaimed journalist and author Naomi Klein, whose new book Doppelganger out this week explores what she calls “the mirror world,” a growing right-wing alternate universe of misinformation and conspiracies that, while identifying real problems, opportunistically exploits them to advance a hateful and divisive agenda. Klein explains her initial motivation for the book was her own alter-ego, the author Naomi Wolf, for whom she has often been mistaken. Both Naomis entered public consciousness in the 1990s with books critiquing corporate influence, but in recent years Wolf has become one of the most prominent vaccine deniers and purveyors of COVID-19 misinformation — making the ongoing confusion about their identities a source of frustration. “It’s very destabilizing,” says Klein, who still urges people to seriously engage with the dangerous ideas propagated in mirror worlds, rather than simply look away. “It’s so hard to look at the reality that we are in right now, with the overlay of endless wars and climate disasters and massive inequality. And so whether we’re making up fantastical conspiracy theories or getting lost in our own reflections, it’s all about not looking at that reality that is only bearable if we get outside our own heads and collectively organize.”

  Paper straws not so eco-friendly, 90% contain toxic “forever chemicals”
  
  from https://newatlas.com/author/paul-mcclure/
  
  A new European study has found that 90% of so-called eco-friendly paper straws contain “forever chemicals,” compounds that don’t – or barely – break down and can accumulate in our bodies, leading to health problems. The findings are consistent with results from a recent US study.

interesting. I had a kurdish muslim neighbour several years ago, and he introduced me to this practice which I wasn't previously aware of. what I found interesting about it is that they'll often slaughter the animal over a ditch or hole dug into the ground into which the blood is drained, which is the process for making offerings to chthonian (ie. underworld) deities in most pagan traditions. they probably don't realize that, but it's almost certainly where the tradition originated. apart from the practical benefit of that method being ergonomic and less messy.

you're welcome. it frustrates me that due to the abuses of certain actors under the rubric of religion, that the baby is frequently thrown out with the bathwater. once the subject is put into a more constructive context it can yield enormous benefits. to some extent however it's much like a blacksmith creating tools first from different types of stones, dirt, water and sticks. it's not enough to hold the tool. to really understand you have to create it from the raw elements. a lifetime of introspection and consciously juggling perspectives.

imo religion serves the purpose of entraining the psyche to a particular set of values through repetition, which brings about a correspondingly habitual behavioural pattern. one can practice this alone or in a group, but the point remains the same, to change/reinforce personal behaviour in alignment with one's values.

*belief* on the other hand is not a necessary component (and in fact is not emphasized in the vast majority of the world's non-abrahamic religions; see "orthopraxy"). it is a pointless exercise that has demonstrably lead to world-wide violent mass delusions and genocide. the emphasis on belief is inimical to the actual point of religion, to align personal behaviour in accordance with wholesome life affirming values.

nearly all sci-fi/fantasy is based on metaphors for things happening real life. imo that's what it stems from. ymmv. incidentally, it's a superior ethic to the one motivating the idiots featured in that article.

you have a rather idyllic view of what's taking place. in places like oxford england for example it basically consists of toll booths that you have to pay to pass if you exceed your government allotted number of trips. never mind sick family, close friends, or other normal life. if you want to pass, you have to pay the government troll an extortion tax. the idea being to force people to no longer own cars, or switch universally to these high tech mobile surveillance platforms.

it's all well and good that you live in a fairy tale kingdom of castles and unicorns and so on, but the rest of us live in the real world and didn't vote for some douchbags in davos to decide the details of our daily lives.

what I don't get is not that someone would hallucinate such a silly thing, but that others would willingly just take their word for it and happy start chopping off their own dicks. maybe there's a metaphor there.

and in case you're about to say "just the tip", origen actually did and to himself, though in his case it was that his sect of christianity had the syncretized elements from the mystery traditions of cybele and attis.

ancap is an okay philosophy in many respects, but it's lopsided because it's foundation is purely rational/intellectual and leaves no room for the greater forces of human motivation, emotion and passion. particularly the passion one feels when there is no means to support one's self or family, and the typically coercive power of the market in such a circumstance. if you want true freedom you can't simply commoditize absolutely everything and call it a day. there needs to be an element of compassion and prosocial ethos that brings property back into balance with need (as opposed to greed). in order to do so in a voluntary fashion requires not law, but culture. ancap is a very self-oriented philosophy in spite of it's reciprocal nature, and thus it misses that element nearly entirely. consequently in spite of violently agreeing with ancaps on most philosophical points, there's really not a single one I've met as yet that I'd actually want as a neighbor.

I've been mulling this over for quite a while and though I don't relish it, I think there's a good reason our ancestors (vikings, celts, greeks, romans, etc) considered it legal to kill someone on the spot if they talked shit about you in public.

when people think of IP, they typically think of digital assets. but do you think about privacy or reputation? both are a property rights claim over the content of another person's mind.

Canandians are over 101 times more likely to die from medical malpractice than from gun involved homocide.

"Though the absolute number of homicides by firearm reached its highest level of the past five years in 2020 at 277, the proportion of homicides by firearm actually decreased. In 2020, 37.2 per cent of homicides involved a gun, compared with 40 per cent in 2017."

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/fact-check-gun-violence-1.6166328

"In Canada, medical errors account for 28,000 deaths yearly, according to the Canadian Patient Safety Institute which campaigns to reduce that number. Errors are said to be the third leading cause of death in Canada after cancer and heart disease, and every minute and 18 seconds someone is injured from unintended harm [caused by medical malpractice]."
