It’s such a shame. Children have so much curiosity for the world.

Adults should realy nourish that, not kill it.

I’ve worked with children in that age range (6 and older) and it’s realy crazy what they come up if you give them a bit of room to experiment with their ideas.

I agree completely.

It comes down to wanting the best for yourself and only for yourself. There can’t be any other motivation for destroying a whole planet in order to get a live with vastly more money than you could ever spend.

Good point. If the wizard did this you also would never know that such a song existed. Hence your “worst song in the world” spot would be filled with a different song the instant the spell hits.

It shows how such categories as “the worst” and “the best” are only constructions of our mind.

Just that they are actively recruiting people from STEM.

Not only that, we have a couple of social science people around too :-)

Let’s say it’s a postmodern interpretation of the meme idea.

This is the Paper that started it. They used some (at the time) new techniques to 3d model an old fossil they had, if I recall it correctly.

When AI would have been the better choice.

That’s great and I am happy for you how well your lifestyle seems to be going. Rural is always a challenge when avoiding meat, I know how much effort it can mean. Good on you for hanging in there.

Almonds have their issues, but that said are still ahead of the curve in regards to envirmental impact in comparison to animal products.

Yeah, I see your point. If it’s just about emissions full plant based of course would still be the best outcome, because even diary products have a huge environmental impact. Not as bad as meat, but still considerably higher than any plant based choice. I found it fascinating that an avocado that has been shipped across the ocean to Europe still is a better choice than local diary products, enviormentaly speaking.

In regards to research etc. I get your point. I tranaiended from vegetarian to vegan about 10 years ago and the first half year was a lot of research what I could buy and couldn’t and how I should make meals in order to not run into any problems. After that it just became my new normal. It takes zero effort these days, minus the occasional struggle to find a good place of go out.

What is holding you back from going vegan or at least vegetarian? I’m not trying to judge, I’m just interested. If you care about the environment it would seem a logical choice, that’s why I’m asking.

I still personally believe buying local is probably the best bet

You call it a belive rightfully, because in order to hold it you have to activly disregard the multiple studies that point to animal products beefing worse for the environment even if shipped around the world.

I am sorry if this doesn’t agree with your world view. It’s a reality that has been proven by multiple authors again and again now.

Also pretending that 4000 years ago humans were still hunter gatherers or something (it’s kind of implied in the wording imo). 4000 years ago there were plenty of fairly developed civilisations around.

Water under the bridge, no worries. I didn’t realize you had deleted your comment because I replied trough my inbox. I deleted the response.

Is this Chat GPT? So a bunch of made up papers?

Edit: Not that I give a shit about the downvotes, but come on. Give me a link to one of them. Just one. They even left the “Here are some studies…” AI red flag in there.

Nono, that’s a “Priest”. Image him a bit like a scientist, but opposite.

I disagree. When I make Ai images I create like 1000 versions of a promt and chose the one that comes closest to what I want it to convey and work from there.

The again, I do this offline and have no limits to work with, so there is that.

I get the sentiment and it’s cool you put some time into this. That said I think it looks go much like him leading the protesters. The composition isn’t ideal for the message, you know.

Not want to be an asshole, it’s just what seemed off to me, becuae when I saw this in my feed it looked like a very much pro trump image on first glance.

Belief in magic is pretty even between the genders and pretty common

I was interested and looked up some studies. There is a gender gap in spiritual believe and women tend to be more spiritual, including believing in magic. So OPs statement in that regards holds.

Just to be clear, I’m not saying everything that op wrote is correct or that I agree, but the starting point they used, that women tend to belive in magical stuff more often, seems to be true.
