Ten-thousand Lemmy and Reddit moderators say otherwise.

How about for lemmy?

Why do you dance around like this instead of just answering the question?

Actually somebody else got their shit removed and I wax philosophical on their behalf. I’m sophisticated that way.

Everybody says democracy but given the opportunity to be dictator they will choose dictatorship every time.

Is that a realistic assessment?

Every moderator on lemmy, apparently.

How about for lemmy communities?

Give burnout a chance

Do you, to any degree, lead the contemplative life?

Like 8fold? Meditation? Hermit? …?

You’re making a show about killing money men. Good luck convincing the money men to fund it. And that’s how it works.

Otoh, making video is pretty cheap these days.

No, my point is that the human is smart and the system is dumb. Therefore the human is better than the system for running things.

Let that be a lesson. Truth comes from authority, not the evidence of your senses.

Then allow me to enlighten you.

A system of laws is not human. Tho built by humans. Much like a car or a toaster. And as such lacks the intelligence, depth and flexibility of a human. And is subject to gaming, breaking, and all the other problems of machines that interface with reality and humans.

That is my point.

Morpheus : The Matrix has you.

Vipassana! It makes my head right. I imagine it will fix anything.

I went a similar way, with the experimenting and figuring it out.

I started with concentration. It was my own personal magic power.

Then I found vipassana. Then I did concentration and vipassana together for a while. That was a bit too much.

Now I do just vipassana. It’s great.

Also, as I said elsewhere in this thread, right after free I’d put “it gets you high”. Because everybody likes to get high.
