🐊 Andromeda Pie Sign for a new social network promoting itself as trustworthy and the first thing I see is a racial slur lmao
👁️ Mbladra Did the internet boards always have racists, or has that been more of a recent thing
Juha Think about the human nature in general and you have an answer. We are not nice creatures
📉 Bill Think about all of nature in general. Humans are not some godly being in some love bubble disconnected from reality. Everything is in constant competition

Juha I do not understand what you're saying. What do you mean?
📉 Bill We can't ever "just get along". Everything in this world is inherently in competition to survive the next day.
Juha I would argue it to be more of an "indifference" rather than direct competition for survival. The world is entropy made infinite, sure. But thats just exaggeration.
👁️ Mbladra I don't think that's true at all.. I mean if you really wanted to, I guess you might be able to do some mental gymnastics to shoehorn the world into a lens of 'inherent competition', but that's pretty obviously going to be a poor explaination of a lot of largely cooperative phenomena
📉 Bill For us, cooperation can exist between groups but not between everyone since we're in a closed system of finite resources. There is inherent competition between those with resources and those without.
🌊 Zero Two But life is not a zero sum game, cooperation benefit everyone
