Mastodon is way more stable and way more active these days than Twitter is.

How the times change.

It’s fascinating to hear the insightful responses of some Republicans to their failure to attract young voters and single women voters: raise the voting age and pressure young women to get married.

This is one of the whitest, most absurd statements I've seen on the fedi.

And this is the dude that builds Mastodon.

This is pure denial. And we cannot expect adequate solutions from someone who refuses to see life outside of their own bubble.

Hi,

Just another blind guy thinking about the elephant.

Some interests: #originoflife #informationtheory #ComplexSystems #CollectiveBehavior #evolutionarydynamics #biogels #informationtheory #philosophy #philosophyofscience #philosophyofmaths

Banging my head about information. Not so much channels and sender/receiver, although this is where we now must start, but how it instanciates itself as an object.

So I have a question for any and all disciplines:

What is a chair?

Yet due to materialism, the mid tier ppl don't understand this, and focus squarely on the material aspect the knowledge has garnered. It's not so much the "worship" of having knowledge, but the product that it has produced.

A little higher up, more intellectual types focus more on the underlying mechanisms, such as the literal science, mathematics.

Yet it's only the higher tier that understand why they hold these things in high esteem.

@b_chocolatey @lack
Current thing - woke - consumerism are practically the same low tier.

Obsessed with material items. Look at pop culture. It's practically idolatry.

Parallel to evangelical zealots trying to save you. Knowing something other don't. Cult mentality.

The fact that the two often conflict (consume vs yet save the planet) doesn't matter, since its low brow. The lack of religious/moral beliefs leaves an empty chalise that's easily filled with supplements

If you're new on here and want to talk to someone kind, don't hesitate to talk to me. :)

The Prosecution Of Kyle Rittenhouse Is Actually Political Persecution by a Corrupt Government.

The world can be a challenging place to be yourself. So much inertia to conform, give-in and hide who you are at the threat of violence, ostracization, and ridicule. If you’ve had the bravery to be who you are, live how you live, love how you love please hold your head up high with pride this pride month and every month. #LGBT #LoveWins #Pride

@aoife a plague upon both our houses #LoveWins

Only volunteering to further privacy and freedom can be effective today because its not something #financiers like because much of their grift is predicated on invading ppls live and feeding it back to trap them in particular thoughts.

We see that #theInternet will split between those who seek constant #validation from centralised powers and those that don't.

We see a time when ppl use #anonymisers (eg #I2P or #Tor) like they breathe - forming a sort of 'standard practice'.
