Oh i agree but I was hoping you would realize .

I find it interesting as a test of people when I talk about population being self-regulating, when I do people go to one of two camps:

1)
liberals (solve everything through government regulation) ->

The focus tends to be largely what yours are, that is talking about the wars and the lack of education. In general the focus here is on what governments didnt do to fix the problem:

conservatives (self-regulation) ->

Here the focus is on the need of the parent to want to have kids and how that may and how those who have too many kids for what they can feed are ultimately to blame for having too many kids.

@shibaprasad

Yea the point where, on average, every family can afford just enough food to feed themselves and 2 kids :)

@design_RG

@shibaprasad

Sounds like that is just a fancy way of saying the population will stop growing naturally once we dont have enough resources to sustain it :)

@design_RG

@drabard It is not so much the words that need to be well deined or not. We can use well defined words just as liberally in a poetic context.. "HEr eyes burned with star light" I'm pretty sure we all know here that literal fusion reactions arent taking place in her eyes :)

@Wetrix Americans have the WWF for that :)

@Wetrix I dont think anyone has seen an actual debate in a 100 years :) I'm exaggerating of course but truth is mature debates are fairly non existent these days, at least on the internet.

Even in person they only tend to exist in the USA and the UK between people who still mostly agree. The rest of europe is ok though

@timorl I find being clear about what word your using and what it means is critical to having any sort of meaningful understanding or a useful stance on any issue. So often I ind peoples words sound poetic, moving, and insightful, but in reality its just because a word is left open to interpritation and everyone fits their own assumption about the word in there. So its really just smoke and mirrors.

I think people do this intentionally this way they can argue in whatever direction they want and "fill in" what the word meant later to suit the argument.

@Wetrix You mean QOTO? Just a place for STEM interested individuals or professionals to hang out. We dont have any topic requirements though or enforce a feed much beyond showing respect for others.

We basically want to get away from the childishness and mutual attacks and deal with people arguing our disagreements as STEM professionals do, respectfully and using evidence and no personal attacks. Presuming there is a disagreement at all, most of the time we just post nerdy videos we all enjoy.

@Wetrix I only follow about 200 people for exactly the same reason.. It just seems the people who follow me have something else in mind.

If i werent a figure head for QOTO and a moderator I'd like lock down my follower count. But I have to play a different role for the sake of the server really.

@Wetrix Thats far more important.

I get about 70 new followers a day, 50 of whom are just new signups to my instance that I likely will never hear from again in 2.3rds of those cases. The others tend to be genuine people from around the fediverse, but even then not always the most engaged followers in terms of percentages.

My feed can be hard to keep up with to the point that I just stop replying to a lot of the noise.

@Wetrix Quality over quantity :)

@SecondJon Its an option, hit the three dots on any reply in the message and its in the menu

@timorl lol I noticed!

@legend What hyperbolic nonsense. None said itt would all come toppling down. You don't have to destroy society to still be an asshole that causes massive financial damge to thousands of working families

@legend

If your blocking traffic on a major road your hurting all sorts of people from emergency services to hundreds or thousands of people trying to go to work. No one has that moral right.

@georgia @SecondJon @timorl

@mewmew

ITs not so much that she is advocating for violence. She doesnt need to b ecause she feels she has power. But she is of the same mindset. and her policies and way of thinking thus just as damaging

@georgia @SecondJon @timorl

@mewmew

I'd hardly say they are irrelvant. They seem to be embodied in the childishness and reasoning of many immature politicians. AoC is their spirit animal for example.
