Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

There is no universe where you change your mind. You've made it up, and don't seem to be the type of person to be able to change it when provided new information. You present your own presumptions as fact, with absolutely nothing backing it up except "trust me bro" and vibes. It would be a waste of time to try and persuade you.
There's a universe where we talk about it. Try that first.
I've read your replies to the reasonable arguments others made. I don't feel like engaging you in that way. Your entire premise is based on a worldview entirely divorced from reality that you've built up in your head, based on assumptions you've made with no evidence. Scientists, artists, engineers, and lawyers do not run the world. Capitalists do. Scientists and engineers are ignored for politically convenient reasons and the interests of the ruling class. Artists are all over the spectrum, from pop to counter culture. Lawyers are merely a cog in the legal machine that props up the status quo. "Concentration" has nothing to do with any of it, and your entire message and responses to others sound more like someone having a psychotic or manic episode than a cohesive and thought out philosophy. I cannot convince you away from a worldview built on delusion.
Well that certainly does simplify it.
