- Comment on Volvo invented the three-point seat belt 67 years ago; now it has improved it 6 days ago:
“Volvo has a history with the modern three-point safety belt, which was perfected by in-house engineer Nils Bohlin in 1959 before the patent was shared with the world.”
This story is a famous example of seemingly putting human safety before personal profit.
In a direct comparison this innovation on it is worse because it lacks the defining feature that makes it truly applaudable.
The original 3 point seatbelt patent would also expire after 20 years but they (presumably) saw the amount of people they could save and chose not to wait.
Though you might have reasonable argument on corporate motivation that is commonly accepted i personally am in very strong disagreement with the notion that profit incentives are anything but harmful.
In my own reasoning and experience i found that a desire for profit or personal success sabotage the effective value of any potential invention.
The objective value of a product that i attempt to perceive is directly correlated to how many living beings can successfully use it without losing value in return.
For example the most advanced designer cars that exist that can only the super rich can buy… those are complete worthless junk and leaching valuable assets and energy from our planet trown in the proverbial bin.
A text file that explains in detail how to fix and maintain a generic bike written by some passionate nerd and freely available online has in comparison uncountable value.
I see the same trends in digital development. Closed source only exist to exploit people who have not learned how to property own and maintain a computer and to block off ways open source devs could use to innovate for the benefit of everyone.
If you ask me, if the benefit of everyone including yourself is not enough motivation to build something better then what already is. I don’t want you on my team.
If your motivation requires a self serving result, i would prefer if society paid you to STAY AWAY from any important work decisions because the losses are too great to give that power to what subjectivity understand as a mental illness.
If everyone benefits, i benefit. If no one suffers, i don’t suffer. You can keep the ego happy and still arrive to the same conclusion, i am award this is considered an extreme stance but i will die on this hill unless someone can point me to a higher one,

Someone remind me to adjust my opinion of volvo when they also release this tech pattern to the world for free.
I do not care how safe your system is in theory, if you are gatekeeping it so others can’t replicate it its more dangerous to the world then if it didn’t exist at all, which at least allows the chance of someone with ethics to still invent and share it.

- Comment on I am a modest person. But I have to agree with her 2 weeks ago:
In this work the artist portrays the feeling of disillusionment of modern life.
The subject is in a fastfood restaurant, presumably eating out by choice, they are clearly no longer waiting in line as demonstrated by the already obtained drink, but yet they do not look happy.
The style of intens lines put emphasis on this surreal feeling. Are they really hungry, do they want to be here? Or are they just going trough the motions of their life.
But thats not all because the once the art observer realizes this depth they may even understand beyond it and in effect watch themselves in the mirror. Looking at this art, seemingly by choice. But do they want or need art or are they also just going trough the motions.
Finally hitting the true intention of this art, reflection on the ego that so perversely sees art and then makes it about themselves. Illustrates by the sexual desire clearly expressed by this sad entity.
Truly a masterpiece of its kind. Bidding will start at 4 whole hands of seashells.
- Comment on Scientists reveal what drives homosexual behavior in primates 2 weeks ago:
I get what you’re saying, i had not considered it could be interpreted like this.
For the record i do think you exist and are valid.
Just because our brains are flexible enough to adjust for otherwise unmet needs does not mean thats it’s a satisfying happy life, que the history of desperate repressed hetero men sharing a room. But any emotional closeness even to a human is better than depressed isolation.
I also consider non sexual relationships like “bromance” to be part of this trend. Showing emotional affection between non lover friends, especially those not in a relationship should be more normalised.
- Comment on Scientists reveal what drives homosexual behavior in primates 2 weeks ago:
Technically its human and sheep.
But the reason is that for all cases of homosexuality in animals they are always actually bisexual.
With the exception of homosexuals sheep who will refuse to mate with the other gender. They are homo exclusive for life and you cannot find an exception (as far as i know)
For humans this can be anecdotally the same but because bisexuality does exist in humans and even supposedly homoexclusive people can have heterosexual experience from before they come out the closest that i think there not comparable.
Just like hetero army guys who may pretend one of them is a women for a night, gay people can exist in loving functional hetero relationships. So even for homosexual people i would say its their main preference on top of bisexual baseline.
- Comment on Scientists reveal what drives homosexual behavior in primates 2 weeks ago:
My theory for a while now that all mammals (except sheep) have a bisexual baseline with a common neurotypical heterosexual bias.
The heterosexual bias makes evolutionary sense because offspring.
The bisexual base line makes evolutionary sense because some gay people taking care of eachothers emotional-social needs is more sustainable then having sexually frustrated subgroup members.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Not to disagree on the topic but “if you can’t Finnish it, don’t start it” is absolutely horrible advice when its about a creative art like writing.
If i am not wrong there is a whole writing style about just starting without knowing yourself where its going to end.
I highly dislike capitalism but i can see that once you have enough material to sell some of it, even if incomplete as a series. Many people would take the opportunity. I don’t know the authors economic background but for a starving artist with high potential that first book sales could be the push required to finish a series.

Its not about the planet.
It’s about the society we live in.
Nothing we do is normal, every step of our lives is shaped by human made culture living in human made houses, working for a human made economy.
It is a “world” shaped by and for the majority norm, which by evolutionary dice is “neurotypical”
The example of an autistic world would be the same society but if the majority norm was autistic. Wed have building build by autistic humans for autistic humans. Wed design stores and public places to fit our needs.
Things would be catered to our needs instead of ignored.
Imagine if some human group survived evolution with still having a tail and has lived separate from us. Their culture might involve their tail. Some of their tools might be tail operated. If all humans had a tail except a few then this few would be disabled, but there not because the majority does not.
My point is, disabilities are very real. But their experience is not caused by the individual itself being broken/sick but by “how different” they are compared to the people around them.
- Comment on Anon remembers 1 month ago:
Disabilities being contextual does not invalidate their existence.
We do not live in an autistic world, hence we face daily challenges of all sizes. Your benefits are a compensation for these challenges.
- Comment on Anon remembers 1 month ago:
Sadly enough the pills rarely help with that, its usually made so you can “peform” like everyone else.
I definitely understand your sentiment, I struggle with many of the same thing.
The thing with perspective is, Imagine a world where:
Humans evolved to be more active during evening, night and morning because midday is too bright for everyone.
Where all clothes where made from no itch materials because everyone hates the itchy ones and therefor wont produce clothes with it.
The meal recipe tell you to add x because otherwise it tastes “too loud” and language evolved for people to have a mutual known understanding of what is meant with that.
Etc
In this world we would not be disabled, you would not need a ramp.
But this world is not any different from the one we live in now. The only difference is people like us being the norm therefore human culture adapts to those norms.
My favoriete example is things like a keyboard, it’s so obviously made for 2 hands. Not having 2 hands is a disability in context of a keyboard but we can just build a different keyboard. The keyboard is not the world. That we can build any kind of keyboard is the world.
This is what i mean with “neurotypical world” normal people don’t understand there are others that need things to be different so they never are.
Anyway if you are an adult and medication helps you i am not going to object, you are your own expert a you know what is best for you.
- Comment on Anon remembers 1 month ago:
I understand that drugs do wonders for many neurodivergent people.
But it didn’t for me and stories like this is why i am really worried about the sentiment in general.
You’re born neurodivergent, in a neurotypical world. Destined to feel different, to be perceived different. To have the norm of how humans are and behave not fit who you are.
But as a child and teen. What do you known about who you are? How humans are supposed to behave. You still have to learn it all.
So during this time of trying to understand yourself, the world, exploring your own personality. They recommend drugs that inhibit parts of who you are.
And so you may mature and grow up, never knowing who you really are to begin with.

As someone who loves science.
I am so glad i decided to pursue video game development as higher education rather then a scientific field.
Granted the illusions in games are gone, every game is now a dull collection of mechanics and The gap between what modern games are snd how i know they could be is depressingly vast.
But at least i can still enjoy hour long deep dives into quantum mechanics and golden ratio.
