Nuance is everything, exactly.

I think when it comes down to it though (and I do often think about this), is what the goal for the future is. Like do we want to just freeze everything as it is? Or live in some techno-futurism "utopia"? Or something else?

How far do we want to take "understanding our world and our risks" before enacting our vision?

I think one of the main problems in society, right now, is that philosophically, not only are we not aligned in our deeply detailed goals, not only do we not know each other's goals, but we hardly know our own goals.

It's something I think we as people living in society need to refocus on and discuss, openly. It's a hell of a time in history to bring up this sort of idealistic conflict, but if not now, then when? There are so many things pulling at our needs for resources and individual attentions, it's a marvel we've even gotten this far.

Honestly, the biggest problems in the world right now are attaining power to even enact said goals of focused discussion of philosophy, because the powers that be seem hell bent on society at large avoiding that at all costs.

Is this about cars or society and industry? Because what if they're really efficient and have wheels and run on passive energy collected from the power of the sun and processed through rare minerals dug from the earth?

In Seattle, whenever there's a bike at a red LIGHT they usually just straight up run it if they can.

Just because something is a political ideology, doesn't mean it can't also be a hobby.

No please don't take this away from me. It's one of the last things I have that help me feel normal. It's a net positive on my life. It's queer, it's outspoken, it's fresh, it's thoughtful. What reasons do you have that I shouldn't use tiktok?

Y'all thought we were joking when we called them Nazi-Mobiles. We very much weren't.

Highlander being a hero for the conservatives is an interesting thought experiment though hahaha

Empathy can be developed over time by MOST people.

Also, performative empathy can be developed.

But then ALSO, anti empathy seems to be developing in society? Which is wild.
