  • “Objective worth” is a bit of an oxymoron, because worth is up to your value judgment.

    If you’re questioning the “evolutionary imperative” that organisms want to pass on genes - one fairly human trait is that a lot of us can consciously diverge from that instinct, either fulfilling that need by passing on our legacies socially rather than genetically, or just not looking to pass anything on at all.

    Something we have in common with other mammals is we prioritize whatever experience is in front of us. Anyone who’s directly affected by catastrophes and strife will have different beliefs than people who aren’t.

    So if objective worth has no neat answer, what’s left?

    I’d say it’s interesting to have so many different subjective experiences in one world, with a language-based society able to communicate and share many more varied experiences than most animals. Interesting isn’t inherently good or bad, but if nothing was good nor bad then nothing would be interesting.

    So yea. Human life is entertaining. We’ve got that going for us!

    P.S. If you’ve ever lived in a city whose infrastructure is strained by overpopulation, you don’t necessarily view declining/shifting populations as a bad thing.

    What’s crazier than your weirdly combative, out of touch comment is the fact 6 other people decided to upvote it.

    When large corps make news laying off 30% of staff, those people are getting severance packages.

    Did you get lost and end up in the 1850s?






  • I’d say to learn to fucking read, but that’s not even the main problem with you. It’s not even the condescending smugness while being clearly wrong, though that does make you insufferable.

    The real problem is how the only conversation you want to have is to undermine a valid news article for invalid reasons and to undermine the people responding with relevant lived experience, then intentionally miss the point and double down to attempt to convince yourself you didn’t say something stupid in the first place. Fuck off.



  • “Since Adderall is chemically meth” is not medical information, nor is it accurate, but is what you posted.

    Literally the next sentence after your quoted line:

    While these small differences are important in how they affect us, without a degree in chemistry, they can be difficult to discern.

    Then, digging just ONE CENTIMETER FURTHER into either article, the OP is clearly about illegal meth, and the article you linked describes illegal meth as wildly, exponentially different from Desoxyn or Adderall.

    Get your harmful bullshit out of here. “How is this news? Idk try reading the article man.
