Simple fact that it's not even published. It may contain something unhealthy, for all I know.

It took many tries and it wasn't pleasant at all, as there were days after days I wasn't really myslef, to say the least. I appreciate your comment. Meat eating is arguably not an addiction, it's more than that, a human's natural way of feeding. …

I faced a similar conundrum when I had to quit smoking after a lifetime of enjoyment and dependency on it. What worked for me, wasn't denial and substitution of the addiction with simulated tobacco products (though we all know a great market was …

Funny, this investment thing..

Sounds like a ridiculous scheme, to me. If one wants off the meat, they shouldn't be looking for fake meat, and rather just get on with veganism.

I don't mean dumb in the individual sense, although all the internet exposure to other people's ideas isn't always benefic especially with those inclined to embrace 'shortcuts' as you well noted. I refer more to the global, human society, we'd …

I dont have a link. and don't need one We, as species are getting dumber and dumber. There are several kinds of classifying intelligence, for example emotional intelligence is one of them.

To me it's only worth it if we truly evolve. Mentally, intellectually, and being artistically creative. I could care less for more of the same kitsch we see for the last decade in all areas of 'spiritual; arts, on an even bigger scale. Not to …

He's so out of his league, and clearly lacks any moral compass, yet people like him continue to 'drive' this country. Basically he's out to make money and really could care less what the impact of his activity has on the world. Struggling to subdue …

for what is worth, tuition fees have no relevance when discussed in a general context, without specifics of what institution and curricula is involved. Knowledge and skill for a well paid job or career versus artistic aspirations? For that matter …

Is that bad? Why yes or why not? besides I've only read on the surface about that system, so I 'm not sure your analogy stands.

I think the filter should be determined by service price, What @Chris and team should build is a platform that actualy sells visibility, based on verified trustworthiness. Any average joe could post but his 'voice' should not be visible to many …

Yeah the social media is like the magician & show performer who never tells anyone that they're in for actual scams.. What could possibly be wrong with that, are the individuals who even click past the 'disclaimer' fine print without reading, aware …

Yes, the evolution to the current paroxistic rapaciousness of the corporations, which is in fact driven by stock market greed, has now in USA overwhelming control over politics, thus governing us all into a train wreck of their choice. We are too …

So in fact it was social media's fault, all along. They could have fixed this but never did, nor do they do so on a grand scale going forward. It's just too big of a cash cow. And they raised it since it was a tiny calf! It's theirs. These are …

I think what we should internalize is that either one of us could perish, more so given aggravating circumstances. But it won't be the end of humanity, perhaps in fact it will be an evolutionary stage. Too much we rely on our artificially …

I'd just throttle it down a bit on 'simmer', leave it with one CPU and 64 Mega Bytes of Ram, replace hard disk with a floppy.. It will be a bit sluggish but hey, who can look a gift horse in the mouth? And power it with solar …

That's my point, they show "courage" and righteousness, now *after* they filled their wallet with money from all the traffic attracted by the four years+ of scandalous spewed misinformation propaganda! How convenient, and oh so innocent!

The old saying, 'After the war, many brave men decide to finally show their courage'.

You forget that he's backed by some seventy something million voters, and good chunk of politicians still in power. Until recently the majoritar party was totally all supportive. Figure that out bout human race, but don't anyone lecture me that …

It goes to show that USA is still a place where things 'happen', though not necessarily the kind that a majority would call 'good'. There's a certain numbness that has developed over years here, and perhaps now is the time to wake up.

> USA is in some serious trouble. It’s heading towards a minority party ruling indefinitely and at some point that party will be ruled by a dictator. Sounds possible, with help from corporations who by and large have no use for actual democracy. …

Thanks for sharing this Chris. It was so moving. Today more than ever America needs in its key positions people who know what is the right way to feel, think, and act. Selfless and courageous.

To be fair, they could post about their cats, but not state affairs, in official positions. But there are enough proxies as it is already, to spew further damaging misinformation and pure hate incite so the pandora box cannot be closed. Damage is …

Thusly 'social media for profit' was, is, and will ever be complicit part (at great profit!) in all the bad things distributed and amplified and magnified on the web until a better approach can be devised. Ironically that 230 law was exactly about …
