Ich hoffe ja das die im großen Stile angepflanzte Spezies eben nun nicht mehr experimentell ist sondern halt nachhaltig, bzw. Ein fertiges Produkt. Ich bin auch durchaus Fan des wissenschaftlichen Fortschrits, aber er wird nicht nur vom Kapitalismus oft ad absurdum geführt.

Die spezielle Situation wo die Samen deiner früchte für den Anbau des nächsten Jahres zurückzuhalten, mit Diebstahl bzw. Liezensbruch bestraft werden kann ist ja nur der absurdeste Teil der Gesamtsituation. Die gesamte Agrarwirtschaft ist ein zusehends paradoxer Affront an die Natur in sich.

I listened to the entire and it struck a chord with me, it might be because I'm similarly petite bourgeois as the authors or something. But if you couldn't get through it I might suggest softly that you read chapter 4 first (or only).

To me the order the book has it in makes sense, but it might be the wrong one for you. It explains the What for 3/4 and then carefully answers the Why with a short story in the last 1/4. It is essentially a manifesto with a reason to believe in it as the last part.

For me the reason it worked is because the walk through philosophy and history sufficiently grounded the authors claims toward the necessity of economic planning and rewilding and in combination with my prior beliefs made the utopia real.

The problem that unfortunately remains with this book is how we get there, but to me it seems reasonable to leave that part out for this book, not just because of the violence and messiness, but also because it seems like the much harder part to coherently write as well.

Edit: I've played one round of the game and it's fun, perhaps a bit easy after knowing the content of the book.

Ich glaube da sind die Unis und die Wissenschaft durchaus zwei verschiedene paar Schuhe, und klar bei Medizin funktioniert alles eher besser weil man halt die entsprechende Vorsicht Institutionalisiert hat. Das es schon lange eine Replikationskriese gibt ist offensichtlich, ich würde allerdings behaupten das der grundsätzliche Wissenschaftliche Konsens weiterhin erstaunlich nah an der Realität bewegt. Klar der "Raumtemperatur superkonduktor" war garbage, der Lag das herauszufinden war allerdings entsprechend der Wichtigkeit kurz, weniger wichtige und subtilere Errata werden mit größerem Lag korrigiert, scheint meist noch relativ alles rational. Die wirkliche Problematik wird kommen wenn Unis nicht mehr an der leading edge mitspielen können.

It not only flares up it's an integral part of the vicious circle of violence.

Each sides actions fuel the hate of the other, and reignite and deepen it, because those actions are rooted in hate and as such perpetrate the kind of violence that breeds hate...

The identification and suppression of an other is sort of the point of conservative politics. Crisis breeds conservative politics. If both sides cause crisis for each other ....

It's obviously not a law of nature, but it seems mediation and/or threatening from a 3rd party is almost required to break out of it.

I know this isn't really an option for most people but consider dropping Deloitte KPMG and all banks that aren't cooperatives.

The reason for a tax isn't to give the government money to spend, it already has the ability to spend infinite money for all intents and purposes. The taxation is there to destroy some part of that money to sort of balance the money supply after the fact.

This way of thinking about tax also makes very obvious that taxing income might make the least amount of sense and taxing wealt and transactions, probably is the more reasonable way to go.

The government in the us is obviously innefective but it's not going to get better by withholding it's spending money, in fact I'm fairly certain that for almost all government agencies in the US the requirements the law asks of them are largely impossible to hit on their current budget. Sure maybe the regulation could be easier and the oversight requirements less strict, but reducing the budget (except for military and police) wouldn't help any of the problems that exist when interfacing with these government agencies today, it'd just make them worse

Contrary to some of the other comments here I think what you are saying is pretentious, but also that it's good, It's Good to be pretentious, at least sometimes.

I try to think about it like this sometimes: "Don't be a gatekeeper, but also try to hit the in joke when appropriate.

Sozialwissenschaften (social sciences/ politics and economics), compared to everything else was non trivial and not tedious content. Math and physics and CS are nice and all but talking about current Events and interpreting them using certain models was always the most fun for me. With the slight downside of having to remember all the nomenclature.

I never would have written a 20+ page homework for any other subject, but for this sowi course I dug myself through the Israeli Arab conflict in as much depth as you need to get a good general overview, and I was having fun doing it.

It helped a lot that I picked the course because I knew which teacher it was going to be held by, and that the teacher was genuinely very good.

And you are ignoring the appeal of an obvious joke that's designed to be annoying to liberals/centrists and whatever. But also just be funny to everyone else. This sub is memes the twitter account is obvious ragebait/ shit posting just from the name alone...

The key here is "enjoyable" not "making their lives miserable" it doesn't matter whether anyone actually suffers or any change is enacted, it's a joke it's primary purpose is to be funny. It's secondary or tertiary purpose might be propaganda or education or whatever, it's still mostly just funny, for people that get it at least.

The joke here is on some level obviously includes the absurdity of arguments constructed against a nonsense critique trying to defend a system that the people arguing don't even really realize the joke is critiquing. Which is why the account tries to amp up the absurdity with their (non) dismissal of the pointles arguments.

To pull this whole joke into a more centrist perspective it's like posting whatever inclusive or "woke" idea on /pol/ and just typing nonsense as the replies to the highly structured but deeply misunderstanding shit that /pol/ will dream up on that given day. And having a great laugh about it.

Just that we exchange /Pol/ for twitter which is now apparently partially musk dickridig and as such a conservative late stage capitalist realist echo chamber. And we laugh at the stupid defenses they spin up for a non attack on their chosen saviour. Where the point of the joke is so obviously not understood by the people replying, but obviously understood by people voting here.

And probably only partially understood by you, and or me, but that's something we don't need to get into, because if we do, we are again missing the point of the joke.

Ist definitiv nicht immer überfüllt, ich würde schätzen so 10% von der 9€ Ticket Menge an Leuten sind zusätzlich unterwegs. Merkt man meist nicht, außer wenn man unglücklich im Berufs oder Eventverkehr landet. Wirklich volle züge hatte ich bisher nur nach dem Japantag in DD bzw. Gamescom und sonst zu den Stoßzeiten ~8-10 und ~16-19 Uhr manchmal, das war aber schon immer so.

Idk if you own property 10-20k $ should really not be an issue to come up with, most houses cost at least one order of magnitude more than that, maybe even two.

It also really doesn't matter because with a property as collateral and the bank seeing investment in home solar you should probably be able to get a loan.

The important thing in this calculation is usually more along the lines of, how long does it take to get a return on that investment, and how long can I expect my panels to last afterwards, what kind of ROI can I expect lifetime. Lifetime ROI for solar should be 2-5 while being low ish risk. If your lifetime ROI isn't at least 2, either your government does Energy subsides pretty last century, or your quote is inflated or misconfigured, or it might just not make sense otherwise where you are, this last point only makes sense if installation or grid connection are very expensive compared to normal because of the shape or location of the specific house.
