Well unfortunately, a global population crash is already in the cards whether you want it to or not. Not that I do want it to. I just think that it would have been better to have never had the population boom and now crash that the industrial revolution precipitated. I’m not saying I want to undo it, because as you said, it would kill people. I’m saying it would have been better for those people to have never existed at all.

Are you sure? There are an order of magnitude more people around now. And most are still not doing great. So now we have a massive explosion in the net amount of suffering in order to boost the joy of a few people by a few bits.

We are currently experiencing a mass extinction event on a similar scale but greater speed than the Permian mass extinction.
CURRENTLY. It is getting worse.

A desire to return to the norm of humanity for the last 15,000 years does not seem immediately similar to fascism. In fact, your immediate violent dismissal of it is concerning.

You do know that other places in the world have disabled people and children who go to school, right?
They seem to still be alive.

Like what? Do you have an example?
I don’t really believe that swat is necessary even in theory.
If someone is being held hostage, call in a negotiator. If it’s a bomb, bomb squad. What precisely is the swat team for?

How about the police do, idk, like 5 min of police work to verify literally any part of the story first?

Well it’s a good thing we fixed the frequent panics and crashes. That would be dangerous.

Not every mechanism of society needs to be built around fear of punishment. In fact, i would say that none should be in and ideal society. There are numerous ways to not instill fear in people every second of every day. It even would make a healthier society if people didn’t live in perpetual fear of the state.

I’m not worried about that specifically, although it is headed there in some states. It is just the general degradation in the quality of education and the veracity of the information presented at just about every level that really bums me out.
I agree that it shouldn’t result in anyone coming to your house to force the subject. How to present it and provide a service that people can recognize as a net benefit? Decentralized would probably be good but it cannot be denied, as you said, that apprenticeships and hands on learning are very effective. Yet, they are very difficult to decentralize as they require a lot of equipment at each location.
Virtual reality with haptic feedback would be pretty close, if we can get it to work in an open source meshnet sort of way.
- Comment on What would you do? 2 months ago:
I agree with just about everything you said. Well put and reasoned. But it doesn’t really wrap back around to what should be taught to the children. Do we let them decide everything for themselves or regiment what is necessary to live in our
hellscapesociety?Then you can ask what is necessary to live in this society? Is it comp sci degrees? Everyone thought so. Now they’re basically useless. That has happened to every generation for the last 30 years or so.
Additionally, as a child I was driven to learn because I was genuinely curious despite crushing depression. It has left me grasping to understand how others approach the world, because let me tell you, it is not how I do so. I would need to look at some good data about how students/adults learn generally, which I have not done much of admittedly.

I mean I like your ideas but that doesn’t really address the “how” of educating. As in how are those materials presented to people?
How do we ensure that children are actually being educated and not just glazing their eyes over as the info flows past? How do we ensure that that education is not just “God did it, now shit up.” How do we get people to be interested in learning and not just stop the second someone isn’t pointing a gun at their head?
- Comment on What would you do? 2 months ago:
From reading some of the comments here, it seems that some people think learning is a net negative or neutral for whoever is doing the learning and that one should learn as little as possible.
They seem to think that because they don’t literally write down the equation of “x²+6” that they never use it in their lives and so it is pointless to learn.
There are also people who seem to think that basing your education off of what could help you not being taken advantage of, or misunderstanding the world around you, is silly and you should only follow what is in your heart. Learning what interests you and nothing else.
I don’t understand either of you, idiots.
Debate me, I guess.

Nationalize it. The public now owns it and it pays for utilities for the public.

You do not need to replace your entire diet with home grown produce. Supplement the food you buy from the store with whatever you can grow in the small area you have. You can get a surprisingly good haul from 25ft².
