You give them too much credit. Don't assume it's not possible to make things worse through bad activism. Wokeism has that exact problem. Because wokiesm is the only advocacy certain minorities have, their advocacy get shunted by association. Then you end up with no advocacy when wokiesm inevitably dies. At worst bad activism can kill people. In a real fight you wouldn't survive being delusional.

"He likes me for who I am" type shit

That's a skill issue.

People are only less supportive of their cause after such stunts. There is no constructive outcome. You might as well just take a shit in the middle of town and declare it a stance against racism and injustice. This people are fooling themselves. Just because you say it is for the environment doesn't automatically make it so.

You'll still buy it. That's why. You will pre-order and be happy.

When how you look matters more than outcomes. I see the kind of performative activism like blocking roads or vandalizing national art as for one, an attempt at ceasing a sense of agency in a confusing world, secondly, as an outlet for destructive urges. You get to feel justified in acting destructively because it's for a good cause. Especially if they are misanthropic to a certain extent due to their ideological beliefs. Also clout. Politically, this kind of activism is worthless because it it fundamentally apolitical. It's not about negotiating our space but ideologically shutting off people that you disagree with, which is like sticking your head in the sand. Just because you write off certain people who dislike your crazy stunts (usually the majority) doesn't mean that they cease to exist politically and that they no longer are going to vote. The only outcome here is making people dislike environmentalism. Actual effective climate activism that is politically constructive is often dry and legislative and predominately targets industry, in contrast to the notion that the individual is responsible for the climate, which is marketing usually paid for by big corporations. Being disruptive only makes sense if it's connected to constructive political action. Performative activism is about the consensus of action without any of the substance in order to feel good about one self. Just saying it's for the environment won't move the needle.

You can say that about anything though. Doesn't change the fact that it's a monkey typewriting machine. As soon as you remove it's database it's ceases functioning. Humans have a capacity for ingenuity. The evidence is all around you in your history and culture. If you can't see that than that's on you. AI bros can't see because they don't care. It was never about art in the first place, but the technology and making money.

I'm worried that the game will a) lose it's edginess and b) that the gameplay will be too slow and simulator-like, like RD was. Instant fail back to checkpoint if you don't follow the script exactly. No player agency but the player character's nipples visibly harden through their shirt when it's cold. instant 10/10.

hahaha nope. It's a monkey typewriting machine. Consider that a human doesn't need to make dozens of generations in order to pick out the one that's good enough. It's throwing shit at a wall. There's no creative impulse present.

They look powerful to us because they look like giant strongmen, but compared to apex predators their best defense is being a harder catch than alternatives. They are preyed upon by leopards and crocodiles, which are a fraction of their size. They are not built to fight and kill other species.

A large bear like a grizzly or a polar bear would decimate a gorilla. Bears are evolved to fight and kill other animals unlike gorillas. Gorillas are pretty overrated tbh. They already get preyed upon by leopards.

All women value respect imo, just like guys want a woman they can respect for a serious relationship. If you can't take them seriously why would you want to be with them? I believe what stage red women value is just uninhibited talent for survival. Alexander The Great type shit. Stage red is a stage about survival on a primal level. Personal expression is more so a feature of stage orange. A personal preferance for black guys is orange because preferances is already at a level where your trying to get what you want out of life, which is deeply characteristic of stage orange, as opposed to negotiating with life through uninhibited survival. Stage red doesn't think in terms of preferences. I remember reading the Saga of the Volsungs once which is a story written during the medieval ages about the history of a particular viking clan. Medieval litterature can give a lot of insight into how stage red societies operate because they are from societies that are genuinely at that stage. They'll write stuff that sounds demented in our modern age like it's completely normal. Like child murder is treated very flippantly. It's a world that is quiet alien in constrast to ours that is hard to appreciate. The book details a princess who falls in love with the main character who became a king. What she praises him for always stood out to me. Not his dashing looks or personality but his bravery, talent for conquest and war and being rich. She was so in love with this guy that when he ended up marrying a different women she killed him and his kid and then threw herself on his funeral pyre. In the end she lamented how he had declined as a warlord and king. Now that's stage red. It's very monkey.

I have a suspicion that the female Actualized audience don't really go to clubs in the first place. Sorry.

Clav is already really good looking. Way more than most guys. The looksmaxxing ideology he's bought into, hook, line and sinker, is a kind of doomerism. You don't smoke meth and do deep fried home surgery on your self without an obsessive degree of anxiety. I actually feel kind of sorry for him, because he clearly selling himself short, at least on a mental spiritual level. Regular ass Tony Robbins style self-help would set him straight. If he only picked up a book instead of browsing incel forums. Even a bible would have been better. Too bad he's audience captured af. Gonna be very hard to say no to all that at this point when it made him rich and famous, even though it comes at a cost. He is arguably becoming a lolcow, if he's not already one. The definition of living a hell of your own creation.

+ the fact that inbreeding kills AI is very telling. Inbreeding is only a problem if you are unintelligent and uncreative.
