Been thinking a lot lately about how smoothbrained the next generation will be, when you factor in long covid, ingested microplastics, and now malnutrition from improvised baby formula.

So I guess we need to have a discussion for the idiots about how minimizing slurs by comparing them to crass or bad words is incredibly racist.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
it's dumb language imho, but not nearly as unpleasant as say, idk... the rainforest being clear cut to plant soybeans to feed cows to feed burgers to americans :shrug:

it's easier to ignore and not engage the former, is my take. trying to police the tone of some cspam biosphere collapse antinatalists seems like a great big ol waste of time

the science of behaviorism is fundamentally grounded in the idea that humans and dogs are guided by the same basic forces (being reinforced in some way for behavior and doing it more, being punished for some behavior and doing it less, with "reinforced" and "punished" having very specific definitions that are not what people mean when they say them colloquially). I'm a big-time freak behaviorist but that doesn't mean I think people are dumb or bad, it just means we respond to the world around us in a way that is interesting and complex and guided by our past experiences (where we've been reinforced or punished for behavior).

It's way more complicated than B.F. Skinner's Wikipedia page and research summary, and we've refined a lot of our knowledge over time. In general, though, human behavior and understanding it is a very scientific process. We can't predict human behavior in a super meaningful way (lack of knowledge), but there's a lot we can do, and I do it primarily with students who struggle with having learned really maladaptive behavior as a survival skill earlier in their lives.

This is funny to read considering I had behavioral problems as a kid that were never addressed by behavioralists and quickly fixed with some biofeedback sessions.

Lol, that's the opposite of my experience, but I'm also not surprised at all. Stuff has been advancing a lot over time, but also everything looks like a nail when your only tool is a hammer. Multidisciplinary teams work so much better than just behaviorism, even if it's a science I fully subscribe to. A lot of the time I see very impressive work being done by people who practice things I would never in my lifetime do. Biofeedback is one of those things I do not understand at all.

I think the reason people are criticizing those words isn't that they are mean or crass (despite people saying exactly that) just that after decades of internet posting they are firmly attributed to the neckbeard with a katana subset of the internet so it's the same thing as posting pictures of yourself with a fedora and katana and we don't want to come off as that crowd

Maybe I'm just speaking for myself though

15-20 work for you?

honestly i don't think more time gives us more certainty on the collapse question specifically.

will life and society 20 years from now be vastly different than life now? very likely and almost certainly at the human experience level.


so besides collapse, what could be happening? well of course there's the optimistic scenarios, one world government socialism or whatever....not impossible imo but also not predictably likely, our current embeddings are just too strong to be able to see that coming if it was going to happen.


but its the other non-collapse scenarios that i think i may hold as more likely than many others in the thread, the pessimistic non-collapse scenarios. what if our current system of capitalism+oligarchy does manage to hold on longer than many might hope?

like covid has should our society has become far more accepting of death and suffering than many had realized.

we could just keep trucking while millions and millions of americans die needless climate-related deaths and the back to brunch crew will just bemoan how the "lime" margaritas dont taste nearly as good ever since Citrus Greening Disease killed all the lime trees and then order another round.

'Shout and scream all you like', he said to campaigners who called for an end to gas drilling. Except they can't do that because the government passed a law banning 'noisy protests' lol, great compelling stuff
And as a nice side effect, I guess the natural gas producers now qualify for green subsidies, tax breaks and other govt. incentives?
