Reading increases your knowledge and knowledge increases power. More power means more influence over your surroundings, means more likelihood to survive and more likelihood to procreate successfully some day.
bushwalking a skill that too increases your likelihood of procreation. You are fitter (more attractive) you are more intersting(more attractive) and you get arround (making it more likely to run into a matching partner and procreate or find new food sources and so on)
I'm not saying your genes are getting into the next generation. I am saying anything you like, you like because it increases the likelyhood of your genes being more frequent in the next generation.
Video games give satisfy among others the desire for power (for example you can't die or you got super powers and so forth) this desire for power exists because being powerful gets you access to the female/male/other
Not having kids ironically makes your own survival easier. This is also tied to this, as the urge to be comfortable and have a nice life is caused by the need to survive long enough to procreate successfully, even if you ironically choose not to. Basically you are interested in your survival and comfort because it is rewarded by your reward system, and this is so because it increases the likelihood of your genes being more frequent in the next generation.
I've been browsing this website since the early 90s looking for a post like this. I consider you a fellow!
Your opinion should of never been unpopular in an ideal society. The only reason you are isolated is because society has been infected by graphic design and other mental illness.
I feel the same about IDEs.
If you don't use vim or emacs you might as well go fill in a coloring book.
But the same assumption also means that one can rely on the majority of the users to be pro-social.
Thus one can lean on this majority of angels to do the moderating.
We have to assume that the majority of users will not be disruptive unless driven by the environment. Otherwise we might as well stop right there.
Assuming that it follows that such moderation without any individual in power might still be implemented by reflecting the community will through some mechanism. So voting doesn't work as long as everybody can create a million bot accounts. Maybe there is a way to prevent that. Same with other approaches. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody can come up with a technical solution for this.
How do you deal this your love for cookies? I imagine cookies is probably one of the most dangerous weaknesses to have. Especially chocolate cookies with chocolate chips I would find difficult to pass on and probably would go through an entire display if enough milk was available. 😈
It only worked with primitive and small groups of people
Through recursion any organizing principle that works for a small group can be extended to work on a group of any size. Example the military: 10 soldiers are a squad and lead by a seargant and ten such squads are lead in exactly the same way by a Leftenant. In turn 10 of these companies are then ran by a commander in the exact same fashion.
Anarchism doesn't mean chaos or everybody vs everybody. Anarchism come from the greek word for without rulers. it basically means democracy rule by the people.
Anarchism is the organization of society without any one individual having concentrated power. basically people not giving their decision power away.
Detractors of anarchism have in the past century equated anarchism with chaos to discredit it.
Maybe not no moderation but rather no mods. Moderation could be somehow community driven. If you get a certain number of downvotes you are out. But that would have other issues like mob rule.
The bigger issue is who runs the software and on what hardware? Implementing safeguards to keep server admins in line with the community would be much more difficult than mods.
could this maybe be adressed through the use of peer to peer technology similar to bittorrent?
