I don't think they are independent. Most people believe that the sky is blue when the sun is high and objects fall to the ground if they aren't propelled or lighter than air. It is not an accident that they believe correct things, it is from experience and education. Most people have a huge amount of correct information that is held in common in their society along with the myths and superstitions and misconceptions, while that latter category [false beliefs held in common] are usually but not always things that fall outside of their experience.
I think Odyssey sucks but I need to give Wonder credit for at least being engaging with its zaniness even if it isn't truly "innovative". Games need more whimsy.
Wild how corporations have so much leeway to dictate the law.
That'd be a performance waste compared to having his goons plant bombs or whatever.
the Secret Report, and while most of that is debunked now
What's the Secret Report and what debunked it? Is this like a translation thing with what in English is usually called Khrushchev's "Secret Speech"?
"Aviation". Huh, I wonder what this nationless band of aeronauts is up to politically.
The lemmy.ml devs encouraged Ledditors to go there and a few other places instead.
If MS didn't do it, someone else would have and it would have become the trend anyway. The problem isn't the particular sins of a specific company (though to be clear, MS is heinous), the problem is the profit motive.
In popular culture, you might have a point on the "Japan mountain" one
The issue is partly that, over time, private entities are going to price gouge or take similar measures (see: "enshittification") in order to keep growing as profit falls over time. That's just how the profit motive works, it eventually optimizes everything for profit, not just what you are comfortable with having turned into a vehicle aimed solely at making money.
So yes, this and many other important things should be treated as public goods.
Brexit was stupid, but I think this sort of thing is unhelpful and masturbatory.
