We have it in Oregon too, I think we were the first US state to legalize it and updated the law recently to remove the requirement that you establish residency before taking advantage of the law. It’s very limited and locked down though (we’re talking a couple hundred people a year) and afaik nowhere near as abused as apparently the Canadian one is which lmao when a US state is doing better than you is when you know you’re hosed

The American State is built on exploiting labor. It's no good to let your labor off itself before you wring every ounce of value out of it

actually perhaps it has more to do with this than the legalization of voluntary euthanasia being inherently bad 👇

If somebody's life is unbearable and they want to die, they should have access to MAID. Yeah, it would be great if instead we spent money to make their lives more bearable, but taking away MAID won't make that any more likely to happen, we'll just let them suffer until they down a bottle of Tylenol. It isn't a choice between MAID and fully automated luxury communism, it's a choice between maid and DIY methods of suicide.

Depriving people of a painless way to die won't make them want to live.

Not sure why but my brain parses MAID as "mutually assured instant death". Sort of a buy one get one free euthanasia thing where you have to take the second one too.

Some scary stuff in here.


quote:

The neuroscience of addiction and recovery is rapidly evolving. Rezai and his team decided to stimulate the nucleus accumbens on the basis of prior case studies, but newer research published in Nature has focused on different brain circuits entirely. The study analyzed patients struggling with addiction who seemed cured by the experience of having a stroke. “The spots that came out of our analysis were the very anterior insula and then an area called the paracingulate gyrus,” said Michael D. Fox, the director of the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics at Harvard Medical School. These areas of the brain are thought to play a core role in producing the sensation of human subjectivity and sentience. “People have done cingulotomies, lesions to the anterior cingulate, to try and treat addiction,” Fox said. “We think they might have been onto something.”

Is it, though? It feels like a pretty natural evolution of the pressures present in making that kind of content, where you're expected to mug a camera and talk over whatever you're doing.

You may wanna make content but despise how you look, you may have other issues like anxieties or autism but you still wanna do the thing, and content without some kind of person to stare at doesnt do as well for ???? Reasons

Personally i think personality driven content sucks but i dunno it makes sense to me as an emergent condition of monetizing content creation in the way youtube and twitch and all that has
