In a sense, they are correct. The nature can improve itself. Scientists can improve nature because they are pieces of nature. Scientists think they are above nature = Nature thinks it is above itself. Not really arrogant, but delusional because nature is not above nature. It is just what it is. Nature can be deluded because it is formless. Because it is formless, it can be anything. If it can be anything, it can be stupid and arrogant. Or, it can be a stupid chimpanzee at a zoo. You seem to differentiate scientists from nature. Seemingly dangerous scientists are just as much a part of nature as a dumb chimpanzee at a zoo.

Human intelligence is as much a part of natural intellgence as biological evolution. Human intelligence is part of nature. You as a human who thinks genetic engineering is corruption are also a part of natural intelligence. You are a piece of natural intelligence because you are a piece of nature by definition.

In other words, eat shit.

Perhaps, genetic engineering can help new humans become vegans. It may also help lions become vegans eventually.

You might want to mix rice with kidney bean and tumeric powder. That's how I eat a bowl of rice. I eat a small bowl of rice at breakfast and dinner. It is accompanied by fruits and vegetables and eggs. I also eat tofu. This is good, too.

@Leo Gura What do you eat? My diet consists mostly of vegetables, legumes, dairy products, fruits, and rice.

it's very hard to avoid meat if you buy foods outside. If you want to practice veganism, you have to make foods by yourself.

Just reaching the point where you earn 100,000 USD per year is not easy if you are doing it from scratch. When you compare your income to richer people, you may feel humble. But, if you are making 100,000 USD per year, you are doing better than most people.

I want to become an artist. I want to chisel my life, my body, my mind, my work, and my relationships. I want to live a life like an art. I want to become an artist at life.

Even if income inequality is low, if the average and the bottom are miserable, it's miserable. Income inequality is not a direct predictor of quality of life. Income inequality is secondary to quality of life. Quality of life is the primary goal. I'm open to the possibility of a world where both income inequality and quality of life are high.

I have endless goals(vision) and translated endless goals into yearly goals. I need to update yearly goals soon. I may make a yearly plan for the next year or yearly plans for the next 3 years. I may make progress in terms of 6 week projects. But, I'm not sure about 6 week projects. I'm experimenting with granularity of plans.

Imperturbable mind. Creative open mind. Strong healthy muscular body. Creative excellence beyond wildest imagination. Strong tribe. Strong family. Lifesylte minimalism.

There's not much to look at right now.

Being overly concerned about masculinity and femininity is a distraction.

So, game industry and pick-up industry inadvertently help each other to suck time and money out of human cattles? Of course, they do. But, it's your responsibility to stay away from those distractions. Mosquitos are going to exist for many years. Society is designed to create mosquitos that suck time and money and attention out of human cattles. Facebook is one such big fat mosquito. Mosquitos exist in nearly infinite numbers. If you don't take responsibility, no one else will do it for you.

That's a bit too restrictive. I enjoy shock art made out of original characters. You don't even know what shock is if you think giving birth is shocking. Actually, I love shocks as long as they stay in art. Think about seeing a character lose his wife to another man. Think about seeing that unknown man impregnating his wife. Seeing the raw process of cuckoldry unfold is on another level. It's not even enjoyable to see, but I still love it. Appreciate that what you saw wasn't cuckoldry. You don't understand shock art until you develop taste for it. It's an acquired taste. People love shock. Murder, rape, cuckoldry, etc, ... are all fun as long as they stay in movies and art. Granted, some people do it just for money. But, I still think parodying in a shocking way is a way to acknolwedge original art. Parodying is a form of following. If I was the creator of original art, I would let cheap commercial clones feed me. I would use them as fuel. If you let them discourage you, you will distract yourself from growing.

That is if NYC has a nuclear bomb or someone in NYC has control over it.

You cannot steal credits or name or reputation by creating extremely low quality derivative works. Creating extremely low quality derivative works is a part of learning process. Millions of beginning artists already learn by copying on a regular basis. Those who cannot grow beyond copying others need help with growth rather than demonization. Artists copy each other. Artists encourage stealing from hundreds of other artists. When you see a cheap clone, it's really obvious that it's a clone. There is no need for an excellent artist to defend itself against cheap clones. Rather, you should be thankful that they are copying you because they are inspired by your art. So, in my mind, copying is one of many ways to grow. Almost everyone has been doing it for millenia. Why would you demonize it?

People have different ideas about shitting on original art. What does it even mean to shit on original art? "frozen elsa giving birth" doesn't even register in my mind as shitting on the original art. If someone drew porn out of elsa, does the person shit on original art? Also, I think copyright is for preventing people from stealing credits. Shitting on original art is not the same as stealing credits or name or reputation.

They seem to be fucking up or fucking around. It seems they are going to enforce totally unnecessary artificial scarcity in the form of social credit ratings. I was never a fan of micromanagement which stems from artificial scarcity mindset. I wonder whether their new social credits can stop commercial stores that disrupt nearby citizens' sleep cycles by playing speakers loudly at night.

That's what I kind of meant when I wrote you should be worried about workers rather than about customers. Loot boxes and microtransactions are relatively harmless, compared to what they do to workers. As a customer, you can at least avoid such game developers by buying other games.

@Girzo Growth without purpose can become a distraction. It's important to be mindful of purpose and the big picture.

You can grow without being obsessed with growth. You can develop Orange without making it backfire.

I think outdoor apparel is a distraction. It doesn't seem important to me.

Customers can just leave. After all, you can pay for other games. But, it's not easy for workers to just leave the company. It's workers you should be worried about. What's far worse than game developers you can avoid is a nearby commercial store playing speakers loudly at night and dawn. You cannot avoid the environmental noise which disrupts your sleep. At least, game developers are not going to take money forcefully from you, disrupt your sleep, poison your food, or prevent you from having sex.
