Night out to end the week?

If the political system select people with that traits maybe is food for thought.

A system thet relies on a mayority choosing the right candidate is a bad system. I wouldn't chamge it just like that "to see what happens" but maybe is a good time to start thinking about it more seriously

One would be the idea of "challenging traditional male and female role models"

For example: women being mayority in one field (nurses) Vs men being mayority in other (engineering). Most of the people take this as a proof of how society bias men and women toward "traditional roles" but studies have shown that even babis show differences in prefferences that are sex dependan, even more! Even chimpanzee babies show this, wich is a good way to infer that difference in prefferences are innate, so deeply rooted that our closest relatives have it too. 🤯

And this is only one concrete example that I remember from the top of my head but is the rule, not the exception

(Take this as general trends but statistically significant, of course there are particular cases for almost anything)

A bit of the #random things that happens in #argentina

The presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni ( #milei 's Libertarian party) after a series of tweets arguing with a left-wing deputee, callenged her to a PVP match on Age of Empires 2 LMAO 😹😂

#gaming

Even funnier is the fact that not also the number 1 caster in spanish wanted to stream the match but she sort of accepted? 😂

Under tvis circumstances is not abduction

Is political asylum LOL

Sorry for the wall of text😂😹, I love discussing this issues because there is a lot of material that is extremely compelling evidence from evulutionary biology to psicology that goes against a lot of what we are being fed (or what we voluntary consume in our genuine desore to make things better)

My current stance is guided by the occam principle or at least I try that, but make no mistake, people are actively trying to push for agendas that are factually opposed to human prosperity but you really need to be open to admit that such people exist in order to see it. It makes me wonder, people can make mistakes while trying to improve things on good faith, but doing exactly the opposit of what we can tell is good and stood the test of time, why?

For example, actively celebrating different ways to build a family while the normal family structure (2 parents at home) is prooven to be the best predictor for children going to collage. And examples like this are the norm, not the exception as far as I can tell

I think that you may be taking for granted the problems we don't have thanks to our traditions, and I cant blame you 1st because I did the same and 2nd because "good design is harder to spot since it doesn get in our way" (see The design of everyday things). Also, with complex systems you never really know long term effects and causal conextion in different variables, so if you try to design you tend to only sweep what you can't understand under the carpet and only decide based in what info you can understand, which tends to be limited, only to be caught by surprise later on by unforseen consequenses. (You can find good examples in "Systemantics")

I would say there is little room for improvement in social institutions (though not 0, things can get better) but if we could weight the pros and cons of the changes we propose we woud probably preffer the current problems as a tradeoff.

If you live on a fiat standard expect your standard of living going down and with that your % of incom devoted to savings in #bitcoin

When thinking of standard of living is asumed that you are talking about a balanced budget where you don't spend more than what you earn. If mantaining your standar of living relies on consuming saving then your standar of living already dipped

Oh, I undestand now, thanks for explaining it 🫂

Yes, I understand that pont but mine is not like "reject all change"

The point is:

- change is dangerous, there are more ways to degrade the current functioning order than ways to improve it. Is a pure statistical fact of complex sustems

- but not changeing also is dangerous, you miss the chance to adopt better ideas.

The common progressive mistake is to think that all change is for good, and they most of the time throw the baby with the bath water

The common conservative mistake is to not change at all.

For me the wise course of action is to mimic nature, who is wise enough to know that some things are too complex to just "solve for X" and apply that one-size-fits-all solution.

Natures try everithing, and keeps what works in the long run. No answer is absolute.

We can do the same by allowing people to try differen rates of change in their lives from 0% (amish I.E.) to 100%(progresive trying new social roles and practices). But IMO you are mistaken in asking everybody to join your journey into the unknown long term consequienses of messing with complex social institutions, the same kind of mistake a conservative woud do by asking everybody to not try and do new stuff

When I do remember I write them down in a sort of notepad I've been using as a personal log. Icve checked when the last one was:
