Shit I never responded. But I hard disagree
See, if you can’t trust anyone, your ability
To fabricate a plausible model of reality
Is compromised.

Nobody can interpret the world alone.

No small group can.

Too much is known.

who precisely is snowing in self pity

I dunno, you’re the one who talked about it. Don’t ask me what you mean, lol, not my fault if you don’t understand yourself

I don’t see anyone wallowing in self-pity on my side of the fence here, it’s a matter of ‘violence costs lives’ and you don’t change a system to one that you prefer and most other people don’t without organised and persistent violence

Your definition of practical and mine differ. For me, a path that makes my life considerably worse is not a practical path. I would assume the same is true for you, you’re just unable to admit it.

I think they meant, like, practical actionable paths, not like ‘I’m playing a Sim and everyone does what I say’. Perhaps they were trying to think about what people could do in the real world that we actually live in

Lotta potential positions you could take with regards to that system, y’know. cracks epistemological knuckles, what ya got? How do you decide how much weight to attribute to a fact you heard someone else tell you? Who? In what context? That stuff doesn’t, I believe, have a pithy answer
