This is quite the exaggeration. Most are probably only thieves, beggars, and conmen, not rapists. Some are legitimate refugees.
How many ways can we force people to not defend in their way? 🤔
"The crypto industry is built on crime and desperation."
At face value this shows things improving with more people getting into upper income compared to lower.
I assume the thresholds for these income brackets havent been well adjusted for inflation or is missing some important context.
Lets be honest, it was focused moatly on the spiritual and cultural aspect and avoided prescribing explicit political systems. This is one reason it was so successful at spreading early on.
It's can be the basis for monarchy and anarchy.
If the majority of people do not consent to anarchist living would this make the anarchists attempted tyrants?
If consent was manufactured is it still good consent? Is there bad consent?
Every design decision has consequences. Every little detail has the power to attack and repel users.
Yea, I still put the blame on them for feeling any pressure. It's them that can't handle a button existing.
So a salmon + beef stir fry with a side parfait is the greatest meal ever? Vindication!
It sounds like these people need a therapist. It's not healthy to feel pressure from a button existing.
Imagine trusting a robot to think for you.
Android doesn't shut down the focused app first, from my understanding. It's not frequent enough for me to look into, fortunately.
If your phone has something like RAM plus you could turn it on, if you haven't already, to see if it helps.
Am I the only one that sometimes makes 3 drafts before posting to later look at it and think "how was I such an idiot? 🤦♂️"
Beauty itself is still an act of observation and would be inherently subjective. The idea of an objective/universal beauty would need more explaining to me.
What if I find the idea of a single idea of beauty itself less beautiful than of subjective beauty? I like it when I grow to find something beautiful I once found ugly.
Hmmm. I guess that's another interpretive bridge to cross. I find material and immaterial as being interpretations of the same energy. You could view an atom as a collection of particles or as different states of overlapping or interwtines energy (quantum fields). You could see it as both. From here, I view Beauty and Math as conceptual, not immaterial, and creations of mind. We can create new concepts and make them real, but neither the angle nor Platos' perfect tree would be seen as objectively beautiful nor as perfect. Its 'realness' being unimportant.
I also appreciate the discussion. My personal philosophy is nowhere close to being complete, thoight out, or argued against, so this helps me sort things out for me too. I have something to learn from this I have only to gain.
With my work schedule it is hard to find time for large conversations.
My current view is like an but of a mix of different philosophers I have had some exposure to. Ayn Rand and Nietzsche come to mind, though I recommend Nietzsche more.
I can't point to anything specific with Nietzsche due to his writing style, but this link has a good interpretation:

If you wanted to look into Ayn Rand, I hear "Art and Cognition" is a good one to read, though her long lectures are available online as well.
A fan of dialectics?
I guess where my argument lies is that Beauty reveals a truth but not uninterpreted objective truth. It reveals a truth about the observer and the creator of the artwork. Beauty itself is still an interpretation.
To approach truth, we would also need to observe the ugliness in what was previously beautiful. Otherwise, you stopped looking after being satisfied. Then, we would need to understand other interpretations on it.
My current epistemology is similar to Perspectivism.
The "lie" (fabrication would have been a better word as it doesnt imply negative intent) is not in the the art being a representation lf reality but being an observers selective representation of their interpretation of truths that then gets interpretted by later observers, creating beauty where people need it to exist. Viewing a desert as beautiful instead of a hostile makes it much easier to deal with for some. One could view colliding planets as beautiful, but I'm sure living through it wouldn't look that way.
Niether.
Many things are an interpretation of truth, but art creates beauty where none exists. The deception is valuable in itself. It creates a beauty, a love, and gives it to others.
Art shows that uninterpreted, pure truth doesn't hold inherent value.
If truth had anything to do with beauty we wouldn't have art, the essential lie. An objective truth can be there is no objective beauty.
