  • Sci-fi is fictional, Clyde - not prophecy.

    They’re just referring to the fact that the universe we live in is no “finite system” per the meme

    Riiight… that’s why we’re the most destructive agent on the planet since the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs - because we “do more with less.” Wtf?

    Yes exactly! They’re not saying that’s a good thing but that’s exactly why!

    Which societies, Clyde? The ones that capitalism has impoverished so that a small minority can pretend their privileged lives are (somehow) “normal?”

    Regardless if the distribution of that wealth is acceptable, growth has made the overall society richer in material wealth. The distribution of that wealth is an entirely different question.

    And that’s a good thing, is it? You know we could just achieve that easily by giving women reproductive rights, don’t you? As in… no capitalism required at all?

    You have any proof for that statement?

    Not saying I agree or disagree with the author. However you being his wife did not result in “female-initiated disruption of a male hierarchy” (their words) so it’s not really an argument against their hypothesis.

    (Of course your husband being nice and not a dickhead probably also plays a role)





  • Dit was een interessante goed onderzochte video. Hij laat mooi de beide kanten zien. Ik wist trouwens niet dat het woord “zesjescultuur” nog steeds rond ging, dat kwam nog van Balkenende geloof ik.

    Focussen op leren ipv cijfers lijkt me een goed ding. In mijn ervaring op de unief leek het dat het meestal de mensen die geïnteresseerd waren in het onderwerp die er het meeste van opstaken. Dat zorgde natuurlijk ook voor hogere cijfers. Maar mensen die enkel om de cijfers gingen waren minder mee en meer gestressed (geneeskunde studenten in dit geval).

    Kleine toevoeging, als het over happiness of success gaat van het land is het altijd de vraag of het “daardoor” of “ondanks” is (because or despite).
