Maybe I'm pessimistic, but I suspect it's some sort of platform to funnel into selling or advertising. Build clout for performance enhancing drugs. Probably combined with a deliberate shift of the Overton window on transhumanism.

@TheEnigma I think part of it is when there is a theme of victim mindset woven into criticism. That's when I think the rants are no longer constructive. Overall it can be disempowering to frame ourselves as totally powerless.

Haha, that one lonely braincell running in a wheel. Where dat cheeeeze

rofl >.< I think it's in LV tomorrow (well, tomorrow for you, today for me). I'd rather self immolate than willfully support Peter Thiel though.

NGL this would be WILD. Just imagine the gacked out eyes and turbocharged, twitchy movements.

Yep - forward motion suppresses the fear response. I find it helps immensely for concentration, focus and enquiry. My thoughts are unbroken and flow one into the other, and time seems to stretch out.

Using the conformity thread as a way to make constipated, passive aggressive jabs at each other

HE DIDN'T Almost the devil's advocate:

@Butters you could argue that prior to the tiny insulated nuclear families of today, grandparents and wider family, who are generally more experienced and wiser, would have a hand in raising kids along with younger parents. But the older generations ... Aren't always smarter or wiser 😂 I think this role has some theories around it; women past breeding age in menopause could be viewed as passers of cultural knowledge and wisdom. It's very strange for a female of a species past breeding age to endure. There is some ambiguity around this theory. We still don't know why women endure so long after menopause. Humans seem wired for cultural inheritance as well as biological.

@Breakingthewall other possibilities too; sometimes it's just an energy thing, too tired to respond or give the time for thought. Occasionally distraction happens and we don't return to the proper subject. I know, speaking for myself, more often than not I simply don't have the energy to reply so I tap out. We can't be 100% certain why that person responded how they did. It's why discussions should be in good faith. Without anyone making fun of each other. It's when we built up context around users who play the same game over and over, that reasonable assumptions can be made about their ego, or the little stories they tell themselves.

Many of these conversations can lead to breakthroughs and new insights for users. Sometimes we have conversations where it doesn't seem to go anywhere; only to think on it more in our own time and have independent breakthroughs triggered through dialogue.

100% kindness goes so, so far Different to being nice

The word searched for in all that might be concentration.
