I was thinking about human development and how as we get further into a socialist society we may find it hard to get children to fully grasp what past systems were like.

There are people who theorize we are a simulation and they give various ideas for why this might be. One most of them wouldnt consider as they are libs is we could just be in a full immersion learning environment. Imagine we are all students in some future school who have been sent into a simulated past to live the lives our ancestored lived and see first hand the horrors of capitalism. Start taking notes youre probably gonna have to write a paper on all this shit once you wake up.

Oh something to add about free will. Something that i find interesting is in people who have had the 2 halves of their brain cut off from eachother due to a seizure treatment they could have the person sit somewhere where they can only see half of their body. Then they'd tell one half to hand something to the other half. The person would do it as told. But if they asked the other side why did you pick that up and move it to your other hand the person would just make up a reason. Theyd be like "Because i felt like it". As one side of the brain processes speech and the side that processes speech wasnt aware they had been told to pick that object up. So they just had to make up a reason for why they did it. Which the person did believe. They werent lying. They genuinely thought that they just did it because they wanted to.
