OP is projecting his insecurities onto girls. Thread settled.

That’s roughly how German politics still works today. In reality those minor parties will still be outvoted by the majority on most issues, so it mostly just slows down the political apparatus by way of endless debating.

You're putting the cart before the horse. Figure out how to make money in the first place Pay someone for financial consulting Profit Steps 2 and 3 aren't even necessary, if you make enough money. Once you cross a certain threshold of income, your spending habits will be almost negligible on your overall wealth (unless you are really into luxury, in which case you will be fucked anyways lol). If you don't have a reliable and high enough income of money, no amount of saving and financial literacy will save you from slavery. That's just the brutal reality of economics. Anyone telling you different is either deluded, or trying to sell you some financial product/service. By design most people will not be able to pull themselves out of financial slavery, but focusing on increasing your monthly income is the only way to even have a chance (you will intuitively understand this, if you've ever played a game of Monopoly). In fact, I urge you to invest in and play a few rounds of the game -- this will teach you everything you need to now right now about finances: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/monopoly/id1477966166

First time I'm hearing this, but I could see it. Hitler was basically the OG doomer soy boy: following a strict vegetarian diet (perhaps inspired by Schopenhauers ideas about Samsara and the cruelty of life); emphasizing the importance of compassion (albeit in a very distorted way); and escaping into idealist fantasies of universal brotherhood. It's amazing how people will read Proto-Nazism into Nietzsche, given the actual philosophical content of Nazi ideology. Nazism is essentially just a perverted synthesis of Eastern Esotericism and German Idealism under the Pan-German mythological framework laid out by Richard Wagner (who was also greatly influenced by Schopenhauer).

Nietzsche had a lot of respect for the Old Testament and it's this he refers back to when talking about "Jews." Your framing makes it sound like Nietzsche was some wacky racial essentialist, which he clearly was not. It's precisely this shallow reading of Nietzsche that Nazi propagandists used to justify some of their outlandish ideas.

What the hell are you talking about? I won't even bother engaging with this intellectual diarrhea.

Meh, I think most liberalists would defect such a claim by referring to game theory: „they (e.g. China) don’t sacrifice for nature, so why should we do it?“ Also, high level lefties are just as power-literate as their right-wing counterparts, so that’s not the issue. What you have to understand is that there is a massive internal struggle for power in politics, so these people have to constantly appeal to party lines and ideology. The kind of rhetoric you’re proposing may just cost you your head, as far as support from the far left goes.

This thread needs some serious moderation. Nietzsche would’ve thrown up in his mouth, had he known how badly misappropriated his thought got by some German supremacist cult — he would’ve called them „Untermenschen“ (sub-human), if anything. Back in his days he strongly condemned antisemitism and the raging glorification of Germany (as embodied in Richard Wagner and Nietzsche’s sister). „Is Wagner a human being at all? Is he not rather a disease? He contaminates everything he touches - he has made music sick.“

What about the value of economic power (or just plain survival)? You make it seem like there is no conflict between values, when there clearly is.

If you dont believe me, the following should be enough anecdotal evidence to support my claim: https://www.reddit.com/r/phenibut/top/?t=all

lol Phenibut makes you feel like a god -- nothing makes you more socially attuned and confident. Ive been taking it for months now, I would know.

Try Phenibut, its modafinil on steroids.

This could also be combined with something like Aza Raskins "Earth Species Project," which managed to translate animal communication into human language via AI: https://www.earthspecies.org/

I dont think this is a fair comparison. These images are literally on the product, so only visible once youve already paid for it - a smoker already knows about the risks and is not going to quit this habit (its the single most addictive substance known to man), just because he sees a disgusting image. Tobacco sales have been declining for decades though, which is directly traceable to anti-smoking campaigns that have been financed by the government. Im not suggesting that this will immediately lead to any meaningful change in behavior, but it will at least create some awareness and dialogue around the issue. If people see a CGI animation of an animal that looks them directly in the eyes with some headline like "human action has led to my species becoming extinct today," I bet you it will trigger a strong emotional respons and facilitate dialogue around this issue. Now do this everyday and people will really get a felt sense for the situation. A DIN-A4 poster in a college dorm toilet will be quite underwhelming, of course, but what if we did this on large billboards like the following one?: We could start rolling this out in key cities around the world and it would go ultra viral. I dont think that people would perceive this as lunacy.

That is a good presentation, but the kind of person that would read something like this, is usually not the kind of person that has a lot of agency to act on any of this stuff. And your average joe (or CEO for that matter) will certainly not spend the little free time he has researching a topic as complex and nebulous as „The Metacrisis.“

I say we put our points in a shared account, flip a coin and the loser gets all of them (and with that probably a permanent ban). Make this happen mods!

That one was a miss for me.

You could have a daily segment that shows a picture of one species that went extinct that day, for example - doesn’t get more emotionally salient than that.

Working in advertisement/marketing I’ve thought about this a lot. Where I do see a lot of potential is using digital billboards and advertisement in public spaces to educate regular folks about things like AI risk, planetary boundaries, species extinction, etc. — statistics and some visuals would probably do the trick. The thing with this is that these spaces are ubiquitous in densely populated cities and millions of people see multiple of these every day. After some amount of time a lot of this stuff will stick to some extend and inspire dialogue amongst the public. My company is already working with many NGOs, local governments and the federal government to use these advertisement spaces for dialogue marketing purposes, so that’s definitely something that could be implement on a relatively short time scale.

Seems like I did

How many you got?

Imagine meeting Lana and spitting such terrible game.

I simply dont think that this way of framing things is empowering or meaningful, which is why I dont want to argue this point further. I will admit that my pattern recognition perhaps went a bit into overdrive and I could have toned the response down a little.
