When and where did there exist free markets?
I will edit my previous comment to make it more clear.
(Edit: Nvm, I'm not able to edit that comment any more, I've still not understood the edit-function here)
Very simplified... It is a suppressor of symptoms like pain and fever which are the bodies way of letting you know something is damaged and killing off unknown foreign bodies respectively.
Suppressing symptoms does not remove the cause and is not a cure.
I agree with you, it's not obviously clear what "advanced" means in this context if we don't automatically equate it with humanlike.
The original options are more clear imo, even though they show their age.
IHaveABanana Is this a thing or are you just now trying to make it a thing?
Either way, I like it :)
Unfortunately it is not only a bad thing.
Because I guess I'm just bad at searching, since none of the text or video guides I've found contain the information I'm looking for.
(I want a soroban too, but so far I haven't been able to get one yet, atm I just don't use the second heaven bead or the 5th earth bead.)
Here "risk" seems odd (or it's a translation/language-nuance mistake).
(And this time with a solid option for companies too!)
Isn't it the other way around: the public sector funds the private sector that allows people to amass their hoards?
Anyone that works at FAANG or "big"/mobile game studios, anything to do with advertising, banking, natural resources extraction/processing, non-sustansible farming, etc, etc.
In my opinion there are not many constructive things you can work with that really improve society or peoples lives.
But then again I'm in a quite dark place this year.
Or something like this, just trying to express that I've never really thought about it like that. That we don't really interact with original works when we read/listen to translated works and thus we can't really say anything about the originals.
Small mind blown moment!
"Strart" should probably be "Start" unless it's ragebait to gain engagement.
(I thought I could edit my first comment, but I can't, so this comment will have to do.)
To me it looks like you first "assumed malice", got called out and now don't want to be assumed malignant yourself.
Thanks for the chuckle!
But in seriousness: would you mind describing how you interpret your own participation in this thread?
I'm fascinated by this behaviour, but I suspect it's as "easy" as you not being able to interpret the original comment in more than one way.
(Just as I'm doing too, or at least we both seem to act like it anyway)
> Absolutely right. There is a certain cowardice in how we deal with death in the contemporary west.
This is one of my favourite topics.
I had forgotten to bring "cowardice" to the table when thinking about death (etc) I've mostly thought of it as some kind if vague unspecified fear, thank you for injecting this word and concept into my jumble of thoughts.
I've been using "dignity" to try and make my thoughts more clear, but cowardice clearly has a place at the table too.
When thinking about suicide I have thought of that way to die as potentially needing bravery (as in being able to do something you fear).
The topic of death is dear to me me not only for personal reasons but I also think this relates to quite a few aspects of our societies and not only the obvious ones like how (if we can afford it) seem to overtreat people medically rather than give them proper palliative care and their close ones time and space to be there at this grand moment in life, that death ultimately is :)
It feels weird to use words like: bravery, cowardice, dignity and fear, they feel like from another era, possibly only a fictional era of knights, damsels and dragons.
And somehow I sense that that feeling of weirdness somehow is connected to the medicalisation of "everything" and also our longer work hours and expected increased efficiency. As if we hide and disallow the big important things in life only then will we agree to work the way we do.
But then in the other hand we can cure a lot of disease and I can type this on a tiny screen keyboard and post this to the internet, so...
I don't know, I only know that there is something wrong with death.
(It gave me a small sense of reading a recipe blog where the meta is to tell an enormous backstory)
I kind of sympathise with the premise of trying to somewhat soften the economic-worldview (and language) that we are so used to and to extrapolate into our day to day life.
But in the end it still talks about investing in my friends, and that just isn't for me.
The trick is to trick us into not realising we are interacting, then we are quite friendly and polite :)
Things I find work most of the time in Sweden to get started is complaining about something mutually bothersome, annoying or scary that you don't have any power over, things like:
- A third party being rude. So if you notice that someone gets annoyed by someone else you can huff and puff a little over that.
- the weather, obviously and often!
- if someone hurts themselves or trips (doesn't have to be as big an injury as in the article)
- children are great conversation starters, regardless if they are cute, loud, awake, still or whatever. And this is one of the few positive topics that work.
The trick is also to not keep talking about the annoying thing, because that is quite boring!
If you get more courageous you can also just ask about a place, piece of public art or even the way to some random thing, in my experience (a whole life) swedes are very helpful :)
My favourite question is to ask people who clearly hope to see me go away about the names of places, I don't know why that topic works so well to tear walls down, but it does.
But I also wonder if that is actually an equivalent.
I think of "common sense" as think you should know to function well in your current society.
I really don't know what "casual knowledge" would mean. In my head it's some kind of low stakes knowledge for everyday life (but more 'useful' than trivia).
Maybe the order is "common sense", "casual knowledge" and trivia?
An inventory of casual knowledge would be really fun, although it's hard to think what it would consist of now that I think about it...
There is this concept of "hidden knowledge" about all the things you know at work that no one really thinks about is knowledge so it's hard to let newcomers know about it.
But that does sound different than "casual knowledge", and so does "trivia".
Oh well!
But more importantly wealthy countries shouldn't depend on there being poor countries where women still have "too" many children but rather we should fix our own problems so we want and can have sufficient young people of our own (not said in a nazi way).
And we should also redistribute wealth so there aren't any poor countries to exploit for natural resources, crops and people.
