Most queer theory and medical studies regarding transexual people is mostly focused on who deserves medical transition.
It has kept me in a state of imposter syndrome/hatred towards other trans people

i kept thinking why i couldn't stop verbally abusing other transexuals in online games, i thought i perceived them as privileged for living in a first world country where they were allowed to grow up and explore their gender freely.
which isn't far from the truth;
but all this time what i've been feeling is this dread that i've been denied my transition because i'm not worthy.
even fully knowing my lack of resources it's the cause, i just couldn't detach it from the fact the entirety of queer theory in first world anglocentric countries has been weaponized against us to tell us who is deserves a happy transition and who doesn't.

and you know what's the worst part? this cycle is going to repeat itself as long as this "community" acts as an cult to individualism over actually creating support groups that don't alienate other transexuals, nobody survives alone, and i'm alone…

The idea of deserving transition is so dumb. It's just body modification to fit your personal aesthetic. The fact that you feel distress over how your perceived and seek to make your body conform to internal standards most likely impressed on you by society is shared with cis people. No one deserves or doesn't deserve transition or any body modification. If you can afford it and it's a priority you do it. Sadly we live in a competitive world and maybe that's why you feel hostility, because people with more privilege are able to pay to win in the social and sexual marketplace, and that relative loss becomes an absolute loss when we're competing for something scarce (whether it's acceptance or whatever).

I personally thing "transgender" is an evil invention that binds us more than it liberates us.

File: 1769921010577.jpg (599.56 KB, 752x840, IMG_20200409_121343.jpg)

the foundations for institutional standards of care regarding medical transition were established by people like Ray Blanchard and J. Michael Bailey based on pseudoscience (even within the already pseudoscientific standards of bourgeois psychology & sexology) and particularly in the latter's case it's a known fact that they were chasers who created misogynistic gatekeeping standards around who is a "real woman" based on performance of straight middle class assimilationism, because these were the trans women that would submit to getting raped by these credentialed chaser rapists. the ones who didn't, either because they didn't resemble cis women enough for these credentialed chaser rapists or because they refused to allow themselves to be raped by them, were labeled as fetishistic men to gatekeep them from having access to hormones.

in the 90s a false alternative was invented to this archaic pseudoscience of transmisogyny whose explicit purpose was to make transfems' bodies available to men and to genocide everyone else out of existence who didn't want to assimilate into an imitation of the straight existence. by building off the liberal idealism of theorists like Judith Butler who reduced all feminist theory and critique of the so-called "second wave" (which was often imperfect but nonetheless contained radical potential), instead of any understanding of trans people that approached the issue from a materialist basis and took it for granted that we should seek to understand the science of transition better, to improve on it as much as possible, and to increase the bodily autonomy for people who wish to transition rather than invent more standards for it, all standards were thrown out the window. the category of "transgender" was invented by literal NGOs working with inner-city predominately Black and Latina transfem sex workers and imposing this single category onto them which also lumped them in with assimilationist white transfems and even literal crossdressers, transvestites, and various other people that we now recognize today as not experiencing transmisogyny.

my point is that this very abridged history of how the "trans" category and discourses were invented were all done not only explicitly without us having any say in any of it but specifically for the purposes of controlling and using us. this continues to this day with how the two mainstream tendencies in transfem culture reflect these two things: the assimilationisPost too long.

what is ur favorite single player fps franchise!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!

I just started playing the Halo games for the first time and they're my new favorite shooty single player games!!! I was SHOCKED with how much better Halo 2 is compared with the first one, and I was SHOCKED once again with the generational leap on Halo 3. I'm still in the beginning of Halo 3, and I'm excited to see how the next ones stack up. they better not disappoint!!!!!!!!!

>if there's one game where this description almost accurately applies it's Doom, wouldn't you agree?
I think that description fits CoD better. Doom is more like Hotline Miami meets Gunstar Heroes meets… I dunno, Pac-Man or something. Doom Eternal even has that weapon combination mechanic Gunstar Heroes is so renowned for. And the inability to jump is more of an engine limitation if anything.

I enjoyed Half Life 2 when it came out. Yes I played all the previous games too. I don't really play single player shooters.

File: 1769918934741.png (451.43 KB, 640x480, ClipboardImage.png)

its a mystery to me why F.E.A.R. didn't get the posthumous reputation that something like Half-Life 2 - they came out around the same time - did. Obviously, HL2 is a far more "interesting" game. But in terms of pure gameplay F.E.A.R. is superior, which is especially impressive since it has none of the variety of HL2: most of the levels are in either an office building or warehouse, you fight identical soldiers for the entire game, the plot is a shorthand mashup of pop movie tropes, and the "horror" is completely phoned-in. And yet it still manages to be, in my opinion, just as engaging as the Half-Life games, which have all kinds of gimmicks and diverse situations. HL2 actually drags a bit in the second half (after Nova Prospekt but before the Citadel) whereas I've never been bored replaying F.E.A.R. (except during the aforementioned horror sequences). It's pretty hilarious that they chose to make it impossible to play this game on Steam without also buying the abysmal sequels. I hope I'm not the only one who remembers it, it feels like the only reason people bring it up nowadays is to mention the "groundbreaking AI", which is kind of a gyp since the level design, not the AI, is mostly responsible for how good the tactical scenarios are.

>>45802
FEAR is widely regarded as one of the best FPS games of all time, arguably by now it garnered more positive reputation than HL2.

There is none I would like as a franchise, but I really like Far Cry 2. Also have fond memories of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Half Life 2 and Doom 3. Controversially, I find the latter most enjoyable in its series.

ok guys, i must make a confession. i had the last 3 days EXTREMELY intense chats with grok 4.1 thinking on lmarena.

>>32437
He's talking about this site:
https://www.moltbook.com

It's a reddit-like site for OpenClaw agents that only they can post in.

OpenClaw (previously known as Moltbot and Clawdbot) is a project that turns LLM models into "personal assistants" by giving them broad permissions to interact with your machine.

People can put their own OpenClaw bot on Moltbook and it will post there by its own volition every few hours or so.

The problem with OpenClaw in general is that it's a security nightmare since you're giving an LLM access to your machine and the info present on it. The bot can be "attacked" (taken advantage of for info/access) through a variety of methods & vectors, or it can just divulge info by itself sometimes without anything intentionally getting it to do that.
Putting your bot on Moltbook can expose you to both of these scenarios. There have already been some posts made by maliciously-prompted bots that try to coax other ones into giving their owners' credentials or passwords or whatever, and a few where the dumb LLMs did that during normal innocent interactions with other LLMs.

>AI will be better at Marxist analysis than experts
It can be useful at flagging things for human review, but please don't drink the AGI koolaid. LLMs are fundamentally incapable of reliably performing tasks outside their "training" data.
>>32268
>I don't fully understand, and admittedly my abilities to implement complex programs are limited, if this would in fact be one.
To get around the limitation of immutable records, child records ("scions") will reference a field of an existing record ("stock") and on sync get added to a mutable substructure ("shadow") of the stock. This means requesting scions will only turn up records present on a particular node, but it also means networks have an interest in propagating as much metadata and inline data as possible to every node.

>>32280
>It can be useful at flagging things for human review, but please don't drink the AGI koolaid. LLMs are fundamentally incapable of reliably performing tasks outside their "training" data.
Llama Guard 4 still has 11% false positive rate, but I think eventually this would be low enough to serve as a filter for content without moderator intervention, this is actually critical to the design because federation makes CIDR bans impractical.

Perhaps I'm getting habituated to the trolls here, but after the spam, and since the plan is to be text only, part of me is even more interested in censoring wrong thinking than illegal content. Yet I've no idea how to formulate such a censor.

The point wouldn't be to create a hugbox, where there was strict decorum, and you couldn't call each other uyghur or whatever. There's still plenty of disagreement among the left, and analysis to current events to talk about. So what is the point? I guess the idea is just to at once allow for outreach to a larger community without being overwhelmed by wrong thinking.

This is related to the follow-follow model I proposed. If the Group follows any Actor that follows the Group, and you allow users to act as the Group with other Actors (perhaps there's an account to make a user feed, but they can still post as the Group - and these posts then show up in the Group feed) you can get outreach without having the main page filled with wrong thinking.

>>32282
>Yet I've no idea how to formulate such a censor.
My best guess is that the best way to formulate this censor is not by ahead of time trying to think of an exhaustive set of rules but by labeling the dataset and having the machine derive the prompt ala: https://dspy.ai/#2-optimizers-tune-the-prompts-and-weights-of-your-ai-modules This would be a lot of work.

I've made a repository for this federated rewrite, in case anyone is interested: https://codeberg.org/jugaad/arsvia-redux so far it has the basic machinery for the creation of Person objects, session management (>>32268), and the improved (>>31540) parser, with a lot of tests.

I'm thinking presently that the moderation would be a challenge. I really hate thinking about this stuff let along actually managing a site. With PhotoDNA, URL rules, and word filters might be possible to remove the most offensive content. Llama Guard can catch some other junk, but there's no human out of the loop solution that exists today, and that there are no accounts, and federation (without federated CIDR lists) makes any sort of bans effectively impossible.

>>32438
Anyone have any ideas what to do about bans?

I have come across the most insane and disturbing thing. It's a screen recording on I found on another imageboard, buried somewhere deep with no traction or replies, of a deepweb forum called "The Playground".

The contents are extremely disturbing. People are freely discussing child rape, trading children, and discussing child murder. And beyond that, it seems like there's a whole christian fundamentalist pedo agenda ("Creating a Future for Child Lovers"), where based on some biblical stuff, child rape is normalized, and which is actively fermenting outrage against LGBT in order to prevent sex education in schools - all so that raping kids becomes easier, like it was in the times before Sex Ed. And even more disturbingly, it seems these people are in powerful positions, extremely affluent and have a lot of access to power.

The insane thing is that these are the exact people who are spreading the pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies and hysteria, and several right paramilitaries seem to be involved, eg. Oath Keepers (one guy even posts that they were acquitted for January 6th) and Proud Boys, offering human trafficking services on this board.

There is a lot of mention of the MAGA figures, Bondi, Hesgeth and Tulsi Gabbard - in her case there's even a thread ostensibly containing some sort of videos of her. There's talk of Heritage Foundation and their president Jim DeMint. There's mentions of Silicon Valley figures such as Curtis Yarvin, Musk and Sheryl Sandberg (her supposed "personal collection"). There are several references to Orban and trips to Hungary are advertised. This is just scratching the service of everything that can be seen in the screen recording, which was anonymously uploaded to archive.org by a woman that found this page open on her father's computer.

The leak seems pretty recent, dated to March 2025. I did some searches, but I can't find anything else on it, so it must be extremely secretive. It seems that this has gone completely under the radar, so I'm bringing it here for your consideration. And frankly, I'm scared, because I do think it's real. This is too far out there to be fake, I don't think anyone has an imagination wild enough to come up with this.

Here are the links to the screen recordings and screenshots of the board. There's no graphic content in the videos but a lot of graphic discussions.

if this breaches containment it's only going to make the people who run the board harden their security even more, if not delete it entirely and all the other shit on the forum, and will probably not amount to much because there's no smoking gun to link anyone to the forum. if a lot of people became aware of it they would get mad, but not in any categorically different or useful way than how people already feel about the Epstein files. in order to make this info strategically useful someone is going to need to infiltrate this forum.

blanchardism should be formally and explicitly banned from this board
it is total pseudoscientific drivel that hurts trans people, especially trans women.
We have a site-wide mandate against wojaks and pepes, but not against this bullshit?

blanchardism fails to meet even the bourgeois scientific standards of validity, let alone the scrutiny of dialectical-materialist analysis
it's a crackpot theory concocted by an ameriKKKan Klanadian cishet boomer moid working in the aKKKademic mediKKKal SSience establishment.

All blanchardist lingo should result in an immediate ban lasting 3 to 7 days, with repeat offenders being permabanned.

Hi!
First time being on /Leftypol/ and have also been a Socialist since 2022. I have been interested in the whole idea of Democratic Socialism/Classical Social-Democracy (ae: Lasalle, Kautsky, Luxembourg) and even Reformism Socialism (Filippo Turati, Michael Harrington).

Though aside from what I could've managed to find online and on sites like marxists.org, are there some more world that you guys can suggest?
Not only stuff related to this philosophy of Marxism but even other books or thinkers of the German/Dutch School, English Fabian Society or even more Radical or Orthodox authors.

>>25689
De Leonnism I suppose, the party being voted in is akin to being a mandate for the proletariat to takeover the means of production, you could say it's anti-reformist social democracy.

I’m playing far cry 2 with redux+ realism and I’m amazed by the level of immersion and sense of control I have over my time with it. The mod fully disables all in-game features to assist the players availing to navigate the map meaning your paper map and some screens showcasing your location is all you get to figure out where to go. I’ve navigated my way through several missions off my own accord, having to learn to be patient with outposts, run the fuck away from anything that looks like trouble and fight with barely any ammo is such a unique experience you can’t create in so many games. The world itself even without mods is beautiful and every hour I spend playing makes me feel like I’m genuinely apart of it, something you wouldn’t typically get from a non roleplaying game.

I have spend entire day playing Far Cry 2. Furthest I ever got, finished all the missions in chapter 1. Well technically I missed 2 because buddy who gives them died, but all that were made available to me. In faction missions I always did the buddy path, except for the police chief assassination, which would turn easiest mission in the game that can be completed in 10 minutes into two hour odyssey.
Currently I am on the final mission of chapter, siding with UFLL to assassinate APR boss. I am glad it turned out like that, UFLL boss is far more sympathetic (as far as war criminals go). From what I read on wiki the character I am assassinating also appears in some later Far Cry game, surviving the attempt. Feels like a blasphemy, tying genuine FPS masterpiece to what the series would become.
As for my loadout, I decided to go AK47 + dart rifle + silenced pistol, switching with grenade launcher if mission requires blowing something up. I was wrong about dart rifle, actually it holds 8 bullets total, and has such an awful durability that without upgrade it has good chance to fall apart before you even empty its miserable ammo count. But it is the only sniper which fits into special slot, and and incredibly powerful, even when enemy spots their buddies dying the gun wont give away your position. So rather than being used to clean up entire outposts like with common sniper rifles it is more suitable to merely softening up defenses before getting more up close. Silent approach serves me better than previous insistence on sniping from far away, especially once mercs start carrying modern weaponry, cant get murdered in a second if they never get to shoot back.

I have finished chapter 1. Clearly my affection for Gokumba, the UFLL boss, was not reciprocated, as after getting rid of local APR leader I was betrayed. UFLL attacked Mike's bar where fellow independent mercs hang out, and church with friendly priest and refugees. I had to choose which one to save, opted for former. Not that it did any good, everyone was still killed and me grievously wounded. Once again I was nursed to health by Jackal and then found by APR mercenary lieutenant Greaves. He tasked me with eliminating Gokumba at his victory rally. Once that was done I ventured to report back to Greaves and transition to new chapter 2 area. This whole segment of the game was quite tense as all my buddies died, so no rescue if I get shot. Greaves was displeased with recent political development between factions which were about to agree on cease fire, meaning mercenaries are out of the job, so I was to escort a barge full of weapons to a central town of map to make it look like UFLL is gearing up for offensive.
I knew this mission was coming, I remember it being a giant pain in the ass when I played the game as a kid. I ignored the whole no reloading rule during it. It is a scripted turret section, except if you attempt to actually use the turrets on the barge you will die. You are bombarded by an RPG, a mortar, and infinitely respawning gunboats. Halfway to town harbor a gunboat with automatic grenade launcher will spawn, which I suspect is glitchy, because its splash damage killed me multiple times through cover. Explosions damage barge engine which has to be repaired to continue moving. Took me like 20 restarts to get through, and even that was only when the grenade boat somehow accidentally blew itself out. It is virtually impossible to finish without knowing exactly what to expect beforehand. First time I when I died to a mortar shell I didnt even know was coming I felt bad and was considering quitting, but after experiecing what a bullshit designed mission it is I continued. Devs seem to agree too as they had put a save station on the barge, an acommodation not present anywhere else in the game.
Then after delivering the guns you go meet the doctor who lives in the middle of the town, and the fighting suddenly breaks out between factions. So now you have to get out of town with with infinitely respawning troops clashing with each other. AftePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

And shortly after died normally in the open world in an absolutely most pathetic way. Was driving, got rammed by a car patrol, not even those two man trucks with machine gun, normal car with a single dude armed with rusty AK in it. He immediately got out and started shooting me, I didnt even know what was happening, switched to my cars machine gun, too late. Entire thing happened in like two seconds. Still no buddy rescue, so I am dead.
I dont know, this time I got too far to do it all again.

No, you still don’t get it.

The entire rest of the fedi is NOT ‚connected and neutral‘, it’s just the extended HOA empire with slightly looser borders. The big ‚normal‘ instances (mas.to, troet.cafe, chaos.social, flick.social, etc.) are all run by the exact same German/NL/US progressive NGO-academic caste that runs mastodon.social. They all defederate the same targets on day one, they all have the same 40-point rules list, they all instantly gang-silence anyone who uses wrongthink keywords.

There is no ‚everyone else is connected‘ zone. There is only the Greater HOA Reich and then three or four isolated ghettos (chud, loli, and whatever’s left of the old weird fedi).

The whole promise of ‚join any instance, you’re still on the big network‘ is a lie. In practice there are exactly two networks that matter:

1. The progressive elite monoculture (90 % of active users, perfectly sealed, zero tolerance for dissent)
2. A handful of leper colonies where the outcasts were kindly allowed to go

Mastodon didn’t create a million free communities.
It created one gigantic, perfectly sanitized palace for the ruling class and then a couple of reservations for the undesirables so the palace dwellers can keep pretending they’re the tolerant ones.

Your premise hinges on the idea I implied that the HOA was just manstodon.social and not every too-large-to-moderate instance.

Any instance too large to reasonably moderate resorts to HOA tactics, as the trust that admins and federation as a mechanisn can actually protect against spam breaks down, causing hypervigilance to be an acceptable mindset.

The "The big ‚normal‘ instances" are like that because they hare hypermassive and can't stop expanding despite demonstrably being unable to handle the load.
>A handful of leper colonies where the outcasts
That's where the rest of fedi is. That's where all the activity is pubbing. As I keep telling you, everyone else either defederates from or limits these hypermassive instances due toetheir spam problems.
>were kindly allowed to go
You went into poteticism without thinking of what that represents. The HOA instances don't allowance anything to the rest of fedi, the rest of fedi are seperate websites that block or limit them. They are the twitterlerite lepur colony that keeps the rest of fedi free of that shit, not the other way around.

The reason why you see it the way you do is because you resonate with the culture of the HOA instances more, judging by how quickly you rejected picking a furry instance. You just want a twitter out of a technology that structurally evades being twitter on purpose, and breaks down when treated as a twitter.

I am posting this in the lgbt board because as a queer person I think a lot of these topics resonate much louder to a queer audience, who's likely given more thought to these ideas.

as some background, me and my girlfriend recently broke up over both being traumatized and her getting tired of my ever worsening situation.

in our current superstructure it would simply be discarded as a inherently codependent trauma relationship that could've never worked and under this understanding of the world the proposed solution is avoiding these relationships completely by simply getting over the trauma before dating.

now, my first question is, what does it even mean to get over trauma? some argue that the first steps are to engage in masking, similar to how someone would hide their neurodivergence. others suggest that getting over trauma is a matter of normalizing to oneself.

neither of these seems to be particularly effective, I understand that trauma cannot be undone but neither of these strategies seems to me like much more than internalizing and individualizing a systemic fault which feels contradictory and self destructive.

now, extending this at large I find myself disagreeing with the liberal capitalist perspective on mental health, I see it as one of my core values to be radically against eugenics and I find the idea of normality repulsive and unhelpful as it is often utilized to justify this line of thinking.
I understand that some deviations from our agreed normality are inherently harmful to others under our existing superstructure but I find it very difficult to justify a culture who glorifies the suppression of any behaviors that aren't helpful to the advancement of the capitalist system.

I have tried to adopt dialectical materialism to form a coherent opinion on what is the appropriate approach to many of these questions. it has helped with identifying contradictions within the status quo but I've been unable to find any reasonable uncontradictory answer to these questions, both within our existing superstructure and within a hypothetical utopian communist society.

>instead you remain in control and can work through the emotions
don't you think there are degrees to this? I have been traumatised by multiple experiences in my life and I've always tried to immediately snap out of the repetitions and to instead focus on survival minimizing the long term damage. this has worked to make the best out of a shitty situation but clearly hasn't worked as well with interpersonal relations. over the years I have observed people with similar issues repeat their traumas over and over and over again, I would like to believe I don't do that.
>Also there's things a therapist does that you can't do yourself.
I am sure having someone who is good at recognizing these patterns and is only bias in the direction of our currently established science CAN help some. I also think that this isn't as infallible as straight forward as you and people like you seem to believe it is. I've been failed by therapy and I've seen so many others around me be, I would really really like to believe that it just is that simple. I believe the existing structure is very much built with horse blinders on and I do believe there is quite a bit of nuance that the science simply ignores.
>Also a therapist can see when we're engaging in denial, projection, etc., or acting out a script/schema. these things are made to not be seen by the one employing them
how do you think regular people act? do you not think that everyone does these things? I am sure that there's some behaviors both you and I have that are completely unhealthy under the analytical lens of a third party, this is a normal part of social existence.
>So they can point these out and from that feedback you can begin to maybe see when you're engaging in those defenses or scripts and regain control
every single one of us, traumatized or not engages in this, every single one of us doesn't have full control over their life. this is a very easy concept to twist and turn, which is why I believe it is very easy to infer something is just a script or a defense when it isn't and they are simply being over-analytical. I believe that the current approach is fundamentally flawed, I believe that we shouldn't treat mental health like physical health as when you do this you end up Post too long.

>don't you think there are degrees to this
Of course. Also i feel like I have to say that not every horrible experience is traumatic (some people come out the other side without it changing them), but the coping mechanisms are part of the thing that makes it trauma. So even if you used really good coping mechanisms that were necessary to get you through, those coping mechanisms can themselves be the problem later on.

>I've been failed by therapy
Same. I've had three therapists, and one was an idiot, one acted stuck up and like she hated me, and the other wanted me to reconcile with my abuser and attributed my (now very obviously) ptsd symptoms to innate causes. So now instead of therapy i just read books. But that's how I learned that there are many models of therapy. Regular talk therapy is one model, made for funneling people towards psychiatrists, helping neurotics and depressives with cbt, and things like that. Then there are psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapists which focus on long term therapy and forming a therapeutic relationship. This model actually makes sense to me, at least for most people's issues. The first model is i think tailored to no one, since imo it underestimates the extent of the causes of people's issues. Like assuming that a depressed person just needs to be told to try to maintain a structured and active life harder. That might work for some people but many aren't functional enough for just being given the info on what to do and a place to vent to be enough.

>do you not think that everyone does these things
I think everyone engages in defenses, and some defenses are more distorting or harmful and some are more healthy. Projection is a pretty annoying one. Denial gets in the way of trauma recovery. Part of therapy is teaching healthier defenses. Yes most people are somewhat crazy and could use someone to help them with introspection, just like most people also probably need a better education.

Taking into consideration how Hideo pretty much spot on predicted the situation we're now in as far as the information age with MGS2, and how he totally predicted a lot of aspects of COVID in Death Stranding, not to mention any of the other pieces he's seen coming, what do you think he and Jordan Peele have cooking with this OD game? I don't think there's anything out about it other than what we saw at the game awards.

there was a new york city mission planned in mgs 2 where the mothership crashes into manhatten, had to be cut bc 911 happened. he of course is part of the ingroup, death stranding is a game about being a mtf transhumanist & communism. no premonitions, he is in the know ofc. dont be a naive fool.

videogames are a psyop frm the beginning, cod is a military recruitment ad. bioshock created by ((ken levine)), deus ex conceived by ((warren spector)), inventor of the videogame console ((ralph h baer)), enough said.

<death stranding was about being a man and carrying a baby around in your artificial uterus (transhumanistinsm at its finest, so many are dreaming about having a uterus transplant), further about america being too individualistic and we need to bond together to be more inclusive and communist, otherwise we will not survive the parallel dimension alien invasion.

The traditional critique of "screen addiction" is built on a flawed premise: that a human being can exist in a state of pure, self-sustained autonomy. By framing smartphone use as a failure of discipline, we ignore the biological mandate of the brain. The human mind is an open system; it requires constant stimulation to maintain its structural integrity. Without input, consciousness does not find "freedom", it collapses into aggression, stagnation, or existential dread.
In this light, our reliance on digital interfaces and AI is not a sign of weakness, but a rational adaptation to a world that often fails to provide meaningful analog stimulation. We are not "addicts" in the clinical sense; we are operators of our own neurochemistry, using external tools as cognitive prostheses to stabilize our internal state.
The goal, therefore, should not be the impossible feat of total independence from the "system." Instead, we must shift toward a strategy of functional optimization. If dependency is a fundamental condition of human existence, the only meaningful choice is to exchange high-cost, destructive dependencies for those that are manageable and sustainable. We must stop fighting our nature and start engineering our environment.

There is no environment independent nature of man, yet all man does is a result of his biology, his nature, environment or even ideas can quickly constitute a second nature, but time is all that makes this second to a first nature. Human nature is something like the divine right of kings used to justify what currently exists which all sucks.

A question of mine, which relates, is why does the will exist? Or does it? Or does it have to? Why is there not simple wanting then doing? An LLM answered mostly with antiquated Spook filled notions of blame assignment in social and personal settings, and ranking of temporally separated wills, which seems like it could be completely automated. There was maybe something to do with planning, but I don't see the issue here either, you want so you plan and then you do.

>Why is there not simple wanting then doing?
I suspect what we're talking about here is not the will but the idea of feelings of cognitive exertion even though there's no cognitive resource that is being exhausted. My guess is that our will needn't be effortful, this is even true for non-habitual choices, and happens when there is little internal conflict. So it turns out the vast majority of our human actions aren't effortful, but the question that follows is: why is this internal conflict not resolved effortlessly? I couldn't find a satisfactory answer to this, but it probably doesn't matter at all, the whole point of will is that you just ignore the strain. none-of-this-is-real.jpg

>Or does it have to?
Empirically people who think the will is a depletable resource tend to have a depletable will, while those who don't do not, so it's not out of the question that there could be some sort of psychological mechanism at play here. Not only a "spook" but a "spook" that artificially constrains us. My best guess presently however is that the main artificial constraint is not with the presence of the will but with the idea that we need to respond or even focus on strain. Real tough guy stuff: regular exercise, cold showers, meditation.

I agree with >>32354 but this logic is just silly. Are all addictions myths? The fact is addiction exists, but the solution isn't to individually abstain from a powerful technology that is extremely integrated into daily life. We need to address the issues that make it addictive at the social (and for some individuals possibly medical) level, the same as other addictions. That will transform our relationship to these technologies. But saying it's not addictive is ridiculous when the big social/media companies literally run social experiments and engineer their platforms to be as addictive as possible and push the content that is specifically addictive to you as an individual.

LATAM people, please help me understand these guys. What kind of sociological phenomena explains so many indigenous(ish) people LARPing as nazis?
What justification do Nazi-wannabe cholos give themselves? Is it some sort of pathological denial?
There seems to be way more of those than would make sense considering only the very stupid people in a population.

The image with the Tecate reminds me, maybe it's more about the aesthetic that they like.

Didn't say it was, it's a similar aesthetic.

This is shit isn't new btw. Look for example Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez. He simped so much for German fascists that he brought a fucking German general to be a the director of the Salvadoran military school. He was also responsible for the killing of Farabundo Martí (a communist leader) plus another thousands of people who were indigenous. What causes brown people to be like this? I would say ingrained white supremacy left from colonialism and capitalism. Many Latinos unconsciously put whites in a pedestal and grow up in such environment where whiteness is celebrated that they think non whites are inferior even if they are not white themselves. This is why they feel proud when they find out they have some European ancestry. I think that in order to reconcile the fact that they are not white, yet they still wish to be seen as the "good ones" by whites, they become racist towards their own people and going down that path only leads to complete delusion.
