@mia @Moon @thatguyoverthere when There's Only One Way To Do It, that way is rarely good
-
@mia @Moon @thatguyoverthere a strong part of my politics is a hatred of 'westernisation' - existing functional systems and practices and techniques are replaced with western One Size Fits All - microwaves, fridges, cars, etc. these technologies are rarely practically better than what they replace, and often fit the environment poorly, but match economic constraints better.
i still think canals provide more societal good than car-only roads :V
-
@mia @Moon @thatguyoverthere im not using westernisation to refer to the West, but rather to the aforementioned process of locally adapted and relevant technologies being displaced by others
-
@mia @Moon @thatguyoverthere hmm? is this a jab at me?
-
@mia @Moon @thatguyoverthere exactly! and the systems created to manage overhead tend to cause it....
-
@Moon @thatguyoverthere i see you've watched 'dont look up' :)
my reasoning for supporting many small systems is mostly personal - its the life i want to lead. its also somewhat a reactionary take. i enjoy 'diversity' - heterogeneity. single system thought is single technology, single methodology thought - if we had many heterogeneous systems, what could we find out or achieve or develop?
while a moral system might be favourable, is it necessarily establishable in a way that's sustainable? you've seen what happened to religions as a source of morality. any attempt to develop 'purely logical' systems come up against the fallibility of logic.
my main worry with any single big system is that rather than having an ecosystem of systems that regulate each other, you have a system that has to regulate itself, and in general that leads to poor results, such as bureaucracy, inadequacy, or at worst, collapse
-
@Moon @thatguyoverthere how do we create a society that tries to fundamentally reduce harm that's possible?
theres this interesting dichotomy in some thought - the idea of creating a large unified society, or many small ones that have no power over each other
the idea is that if you have many small societies, even though those societies may be more vulnerable to harms such as fascism, there will be overall less of that harm, because if the big society turns fascist, everyone gets hurt
is implementing just systems a balancing problem like this?
-
@thatguyoverthere @Moon theres a question of the structures neccessary to perform any sort of reform that makes me think a lot about justice and how to enact it in communities. the easiest thing is always punitive but evidence has shown that punitive systems degrade pretty fast
-
@Moon @thatguyoverthere exactly!
i feel like our focus rather than on Enacting Justice should be to reduce the situations where Enacting Justice is neccessary
-
@thatguyoverthere @Moon murder is definitely an interesting case because its also often something that people can and do regret
-
@amerika @based_rob which is understandable but a poor model
-
@amerika @based_rob he also hated children
-
@amerika @based_rob the bear murdering the kids who made fun of the prophet feels indicative
-
@based_rob @amerika Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!” 24 When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number. 25 And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
-
@amerika @based_rob in general it fewls in character if god is always a bit pissed off at us
