The thing that really really gets me (about the stupidity, not the imminent threat) of conspiracy theories is this - the general gist, at least in the nineties, was that a shadowy group were creating a fascist New World Order. Forwardwind to an actual fascist takeover and where are all the conspiracy theorists? *On its side* *Cheering it on* Fucking idiots.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Even for diagnosable mental health conditions that need treatment, many are caused or triggered by the workplace. And why is the workplace so stressful? Because we fear destitution. In the US you'd even lose healthcare, and they want that for the UK too. If people aren't threatened in the least to change employers like they do energy providers, then we'd no longer be a captive audience to bullies, incapable toxic middle managers and machiavellian greed driven executives.🖕🏼

@npub1lzz…jhl3 And so here's the crucial point - McConnell *was* MAGA. McConnell *is* in favor of authoritarianism. It doesn't matter if privately he thought differently, or had some better intentions somewhere, by going along with it, that's exactly what he was. It isn't about intentions. And that goes for anyone that enables Trump and MAGA, including the Murdochs and so on.

@npub1cxy…vryr I think this happens because it reminds us of what was, or what we're missing. It's natural - if we shun it, dwell on it or push it away, it makes it harder for the good to return. Rather, accept it as part of the good and it will have less power.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 Thought about this my whole life too. For me, that singular self-aware I is the fundamental essence of consciousness. Sure nature, nurture, memory and hormones come into it, but that enduring I is at the heart of it all. Now it's possible it's just an emergent phenomena generated by the brain, sure. But it's also possible there is, in fact, only one universal consciousness, a field if you will, we all share. Some say so it (we) can experience everything.

@npub1ccn…czwu Then there's our structural, cultural mindsets shaped and formed by millennia of religious thought and dogma. The Eurocentric worldview, for example, is inextricably borne of monotheism. Sure, religion != belief in god, but it's pervasive nevertheless. Eg the need for an end, an aim, a conclusion, a grand unifying theory, is very different from, eg, Aboriginal worldviews, as is the need for definite, binary definitions which, ironically, hold us back when it comes to the quantum realm.

2023-11-12 18:08:26

- reply

@npub1ccn…czwu It's said it's impossible for the mind to truly contemplate nothing. Even when we try to think of nothing, we think of something (usually, a vast expanse of black nothingness). Sure thinking and believing are two different things, as are space and god, but nevertheless I'm always a little skeptical of total atheism claims. Especially when they ignore change, and time. Our 20 year old invulnerable self is quite different from our severe turbulence/hospital waiting room/ deathbed self.
