Yeah I feel we have too adversarial of a mindset. Or maybe “too independent” like so independent that we don’t even consider how we are all connected and only have a society because we work together.
It leads to people saying really silly phrases line “self made millionaire” which ignores all the people that gave that person money.
Like money is inherently social. You can’t do anything with it on your own.

Lol let’s go.
Tea is easy to pretend it isn’t a vice. Just keep telling yourself its healthy. Even if it may be a bit more borderline at our levels lol.

No, but I’ve not learned how to cope very well so each one sucks.

It is fermented using a fungus that can leave gold spots on it. Often called “golden flowers”. I hear it taste a lot like puerh, but has its own uniqueness. Honesty I’m a little scared of it lol.
But I’ve not seen a bad review for it. Though its good to consider that this tea category is obscure, so maybe only big tea nerds ever stumble upon it.

To me none of that offsets the use of slave labor and their political presense. But I don’t think everyone should boycott. Everyone’s situation is different. Maybe you need McDonald’s.
If ya want to look into the goals of the restraunt industry I’d look into the NRA (National Restraunt Association). McDonald’s is obviously a member.

Note: McDonald’s uses the US slave labor (prison labor) system in the making of their food.

Hell yeah lol. I hope you get some!
Since we are a few comments in, and can be sure few others are reading: have you heard of fuzhuan? Its another fermented tea category and I’ve only see great reviews online. Near every review has a comment being like “shhhhh, if this gets as popular as puerh then prices will rise”.
Its on my radar and I’m so curious about it. And tbh one of my favorite things is a big brick of tea. Fuzhuan often comes in 1kg bricks.

Thanks for asking :) WARNING: I got excited to respond. I’ve gotten into a Puerh kick lately. For those that don’t know, Puerh is a very dark fermented tea. My current one taste predominantly like leather with a hint of wood and dirt. High quality dirt. I adore this tea.
I’ve got a huge white2tea.com sampler order that hasn’t been shipped yet. I’m trying like 21 different teas spread across the following categories: white, ripe puerh, raw puerh, haungpain.
FYI haungpain is known as “Farms Tea”. It uses broken leaves and leaves lower on the tea plant that were/are considered lower quality. But I hear the lower leaves have a nice robust flavor, and most tea I buy tends to avoid the lower leaves. I’m excited to try it.
I’m thinking of reviewing all the tea I get posting them all on the tea community or something.

I’m not saying everything can be ranked.
I understood your response to my last comment as a rebuttle to the idea that “any moral formula is shit from the perspective of another legit moral framework”
Therefore I assumed you thought that there is some way to objectively say, “killing people is better than not killing people.” Which even though I agree with it, I’ve found I can’t prove it without using an axiom that is just my feelings.
I think as a society we would need to understand consciousness to be able to have any hope of discovering an objective morality.
There is a gray zone, there is an acceptable zone, and there is a line, which always must exist, and when anyone crosses it, they must be removed from society.
I mean yeah I agree. It would be energy intensive to try and allow everything, so obviously we don’t allow anyone to do anything. That would be unstable. But that doesn’t prove that we have objective reasons for where we draw lines. It’s all just power and negotiation.
Preaching hate on innocents is not legally forbidden (well, depends on the country), but it is morally wrong.
I said something similar earlier. Glad we are all sane here.
- Comment on His message touched me. I feel no empathy 3 weeks ago:
I think objective morality gives blind spots because it can be a bit thought terminating. If you keep asking why something is good or bad, you’ll eventually find yourself at an assumption that isn’t really better than, “thats just what I feel”.
But also I get it if you don’t see it that way. I couldn’t make the phrase “good and bad are two sides of the same coin” be anything but a lie for a few years. And maybe I’m just crazy for having that make sense to me now.
But I really think that value systems and world views can’t be ranked in a vaccume. Therefore I don’t see any objectiveness.
- Comment on His message touched me. I feel no empathy 4 weeks ago:
Now hold up. We’ll start having too much fun with relativism if you keep talking like that.
But even being a relativist, I find being a utilitarian is really helpful for actually interacting with the world. It’s just that whatever formula you use will always be shit from the perspective of another totally legit value system.
All that to say: Yeah I agree, doesn’t matter if he thought he was Jesus. He was causing real harm to people.

I think you are underestimating how adaptable humans are. We absolutely conform to the systems that govern us, and they are NOT equally likely to produce bad outcomes.

Around me sativa/indica is just a short hand for how sleepy weed is. No one (around me) pays attention if the weed is actually genetically close to either.
I think its just habit that I use those words rather than saying sleepy or energizing.
