“something remarkable happens. The path suddenly splits into two distinct lanes, one for each direction of travel. interestingly, these two lanes seem to periodically switch places. I have no idea if real ants behave this way. “
i ran out of room, but i could keep going.
but i wsnt to add one particular nasty belief system that acts as cop and body guard defending all other shitty beliefs
“I am a good person”
it’s also the scariest to discard because, gosh don’t you feel safe with that one around? but not only is it not true, it’s got you on this false model of reality where people just *are* good, amd therefore other people just *are* bad. as a quality of their eternal soul.
“i am a good person” stops you from recognising the pain, and humanity in other people, and instead has you seeing it as a threat to your self image of goodness
it’s a sad fact that so many people who believe they are anti-fascist, and that they would have fought the nazis, nevertheless believe in fascist and bioessentialist ideas about (about)
- intelligence (that it can be measured, and can determine the value of a person),
- evolution (that it progresses in a straight line from ‘bad’ to ‘good’)
- gender (men are dangerous because of their biological makeup, women are weak and vulnerable and need protection )
- immigration (where to start?)
- law (“they” shouldn’t be allowed to vote/the law aligns with morality )
- money ( that you ‘earn’ it through hard work?)
- technology ( unquestioned good for every problem )
- mental health ( people who do evil things are crazy, mentally ill, etc )
@futurebird i bounced when zuck literally declared open season on me
