Yeah, arguments that blank percent of people are morally good are insane since… Most people dont really think about long term morals of their decisions day to day if ever. Most people just live and do by convenience without asking if it is morally good but simply believing the self to be.

It needs to be convenient to do good things for people to do them and the convenient option for a long time has been giving up ownership rights.

I am responding to what you say you just can’t see from outside your own perspective.

You fail to see you doing the same things and assume people will take your side. Its ego. You have a hope of how you are perceived, but its without a backing. Its fine that you have faith but recognize it as such rather than stamping it as truth.

You are exactly like every other person and your impact is what you make it, not what you wish it was. This conversation was the same as arguing against the religious and arguing their prayers are not being listened to. I know I can not argue you out of your position as their is no logical way you argued yourself into this one where you are seen as the hero of logical and empathetic commenting.

Its just silly and it lacks the same sanity you claim me to be missing. I’m outie. Good luck with your prayers.

P.S. the point was neither of us could know what someone reading this would think since we aren’t them. And they dont even exist. I am talking to you for you. Not for anyone else later. I respond because I want to respond, not for hypothetical higher ground.

Right, see how this didnt change your opinion and the magical third person inspired by our conversation would come away with what from this?

Talking to people has impact. Imagining you are talking to imaginary people when you talk to someone else, is not that. But sure. I am probably insane. It doesnt seem like there is a single sane person on the planet looking at our environment. And me treating each interaction as its own is somehow so much worse than having an imaginary friend to comfort your ego.

To busy trying to find how to defend your position you won’t even look at it critically.

Imagining their existence without proof is though. Teaching people is different then screaming into a black box and relying on faith that it did.

And here we are back at the emotional response overpowering the logical one. If you want to teach actually do it than hoping you are passively doing it.

No its related In that, I dont believe the lurkers are appreciating it like you think they are. And that logical responses are often still beaten by emotional forces. And, getting the high of watching a “nerd” get dunked on is likely more of not all of the counter arguments received perspective when commenting against the perceived right take of a community.

If you are commenting, you are doing it for yourself. Inventing an imaginary person that is receiving your argument other than the person you are talking to is silly and delusional in the truest sense of that word.

Sure, it is the internet and not people’s personal finances imploding. Its why we definitely didnt see pushes like this in any other time before the internet. Nope not ever. It’s by posting to the internet that changes things.

Ew. Using the 3/5s compromise even in a comment section is pretty gross.

LOL as if. Literally I will see people with logical responses getting ripped apart because the person they are arguing with just sounds more right and or it fits what people wanted to hear in that specific echo chamber.

Say something cause you want to say it, not cause you are giving yourself points on an invisible scoreboard for people that might not exist.

I think debating for fun has killed our ability to communicate as a species. Pushback becomes an ignorable stress since it comes with no real consequence. And it makes every conversation an chance to argue your point as if it must be a part of your identity to be protected at all cost.

I really dislike angry conversation without purpose.

I thought my depression was getting the better of me for lie 8 months and it ended up just being anemia from whip worms. Honestly I would straight up expect taking an antiparasitic would make a lot of people feel better without them and I assume salt of the earth types have them even more than I do.

Thank you for the update on the EATCS system.

The radiators are rated at 14kw a pair. There is other cooling mechanisms that are used and you are using the combined total. This scale and resource requirements become quickly ridiculous for launching that many radiator arrays alone.

Your math is all over the place. And this isnt any kind of scientific.

We can’t fit tens of thousands of massive radiators floating around up there. The ISS has 27.2 meters / 88 feet of ammonia filled radiators that is able to expend… 56kW of heat.

Your 125 average is 2 and quarter times more that the ISS loop meaning we would need to launch up with each shitty satellite an additional 73 meters / 235 feet of trusses, support beams, gold and copper paneling and ammonia filled loops for each individual satellite.

Oh right and you want tens of thousands so at a reasonable 20,000 of those we need 1,500KM of radiators alone which is the radius of the fucking moon.

No, it won’t be that, cause its just as dumb and unfeasible.

Yeah, basically this and the rentry one are the best of the best.

Sure. But also it wasnt only in America. You still came in with an assumption that was incorrect and have been proven so and have made no comment towards that.

You are still trying to keep your opinion while being presented with anecdotes that dispell it.

I ask if there is more because I dont think its a conversation for you to just double down on the part that restricts its relatability artificially to something that only your select group does when others are pointing out their personal experience with it. Humans do human things. Its nice to compare rather than pretend its exclusive.

Ok. And is there more to that?

This is only in America btw.

Literally comments all over this thread talking about Austria and Australian Cricket and Argentina.

Must be that it is only countries that begin with A and the stats are just working through alphabetically.

Yup, this one.
If I can play a game where I both have sweaty palms desperately trying to match the needed fast paced escape velocity for a solar station landing, but also have quiet moments where I put down the controller and think about my life while waiting patiently for an end I know is coming… Then that is the best game.

You ever see those comments from people who wish they lived somewhere else and idealize another country?

Mmm I mean there us a lot of myth of it, even Mahayana Buddhism is built on the idea of everyone together.

But my point is specifically that the food somewhat feeds the myth from a staple grain allowing for more available calories while developing. And their dishes center around using small amounts for large portions with simple fillers.

It makes it feel like you could feed the poor. Better than corn starving them anyways if you know anything about Pellagra.
