But was it really me then?

The French found a solution some time ago, maybe history really repeats.

Yep. And if you mention this, you’re a commie and capitalism is the greatest thing ever and under socialism we will all starve and have nothing and it never worked look at Cuba.

Like capitalism works, and there are no imaginable alternatives.

Just don’t use resources to produce that much useless crap to just dump it in a landfill or burn it? Is it so hard to understand?

Nah, the money makes up for it. I give code, I get money. The rest is up to management.

Maybe we are not done yet with understanding how our biological computer works.

On topics like this, I like to think about bacteria:

Before microscopes, it was unimagible to have little organisms on us and everywhere around us. People have been labelled crazy for believing that there is a whole small universe of organisms everywhere.

Then came microscopes, and suddenly everyone could see it for themselves.

What if we just don’t have the right tools to make our magic sauce, spirit, soul, whatever visible to us yet?

This kind of reads like meditation, these words somehow have a calming effect. Like a call to be conscious and just take in the current moment and the surrounding vibes.

Also, I’m kind of high right now, so maybe it’s just that, but thanks for your insights!

You certainly have a valid point and I agree with you, but it is not nice to call people idiots.

Story: I was on a bus once, another passenger was a guy with a big McD Coke. We got off at the same station. Here, each station has a trash can.

So this guy walks right by the trash can and drops his fucking coke right next to it. He could have extended his arm like 10 cm more, and the coke would have gone into the trash can. But he chose to drop it on the floor.

This was years ago, and I think this day broke my faith in humanity a little.

Don’t buy things then.

I see this as minimalism, there is no need to own loads of stuff.

If I don’t buy useless stuff, there is less useless stuff that needs to be produced, and I have less useless stuff to take care off.

But what I really hate is when I buy some not-that-useless stuff that I actually need, and then there’s some “free merchandise” or “goodies”, which usually are just some cheap branded advertising items. And now I am forced to acknowledge the existence of this crap and have to throw it away. So this random crap was produced, packaged and shipped to me, just to end up in the trash and cause some minor annoyance.

And there is a fucking lot of random crap that ends up this way.
