Maybe people won’t pay money for it. Maybe they will. The problem isn’t that people may or may not pay money–it’s that you’ve placed your sense of worth in monetary value.

Read some existentialism, no joke. I don’t agree 100% but I read a bunch of Beuvoir over the weekend and one thing I did like was it made me internalize the idea that coming up with a project I care about and achieving it is worthwhile in and of itself regardless of if it “could” be done by someone/something else.
Think about it this way, there are mathematicians from 500 years ago who did a lot of stuff by hand for hours that I could work out with a calculator in seconds today. But does that mean all their work was worthless? If I create a fairly shitty drawing, but I’m proud of my having created it, am I wrong to be proud simply because my friend who is a great artist could make a better one in half the time?
It’s not just about the journey, but it’s not just about the destination either–its about the journey to the destination, and placing value only in one of those things will cause you to be at a loss for the rest of your life.

Why do you assume there is one?

No. It quite literally means that you also cannot be discriminated against for that. In fact, the protections that make it illegal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals are the exact same protections that prevent discrimination because of your being straight, and if you were to repeal the former, the latter would be lost as well.
You have it, quite literally, entirely backwards.

No people are human beings. Nott potatoes.
This is supposed to be a community for actual questions, not semi-rhetorical questions that just serve as the lead in to a bad joke.

Ok I’ve done that and didn’t figure out a line of reasoning for your assertion. Would you be willing to help me understand where you’re coming from now?

How so?

So the only question is what is the most rhetorically effective way to convince leftists that being rhetorical effective is actually really important 🤔

Daryl Davis has done more to dismantle the KKK than all the antifa folks combined ever will
Homie what do you think “antifa” is? Working to dismantle the KKK is one of the most antifa things there is.

Follow up question, have you had a discussion with him about this? Have you two attempted to approach and solve this problem as a team already?
