Digital privacy matters as much as physical privacy & we need to keep the governments & corporations out since they can constantly surveil. Method for doing so need to legal, cheap, & accessible. If decentralization is a requirement, you system that requires Amazon S3 buckets & a beefy VPS are not sufficient when these sorts of things rarely have a technical reason why they couldn’t be democraticized to run from an apartment (why some ISPs don’t let you have an IP (v6 or not) or symetric connections as bits are bits is a different matter).

The first thing that pops into my head is an idea about writing. You’re mixing your tenses.

mood, not tense, no ?

Sense of the, so called, common variety, ironic wording considering how uncommon it is. But I imagine that educating people would help this, both in school and in the community. One seemingly obvious thing would be how people litter in green spaces, was that wrapper going to kill you when you get home?

Class struggle

My gut answer was math.

Yeah it’s not as important as decency. But fucking hell people, it’s not that scary and it teaches you to think in ways a lot of people could use to think

How to not be evil. You’d think it’s simple, but evidently not.

65gmexl3 OP ,
@65gmexl3@lemmy.world avatar

Because it’s subjective?

EDIT: example - abortion is evil for conservatives, but it is practically good for others

Feathercrown ,

“Evil” does not mean “something I don’t like.” Conservatives are evil by their own standards too.

Class consciousness.

So then we stop fighting each other for peanuts and look at who gets to benefit from our generalised political apathy.

That they need to understand others in order for people to understand them. That the “tragic prince” is just a fallacy and I would really really want other people around me to appreciate art-forms more. Most of the time they find a movie good and just list the content as the reason for it’s goodness, not paying attention to any of the craft and it baffles me that more people are not attached to or interested in how art-forms do the things they do.

Basic fucking decency would be a start

Maybe it’s not just “one thing”, but ethics. How to make decisions in a systematic way; how to do it in advance; how to weight morality, practicality, and aesthetics to reach a decision that you’ll be satisfied with twenty years later, a decision you could explain and defend to another ethical person before or after the fact.

lenz ,

Is there something I can read to learn how to do this? A book or course? Or is this something gained only through experience and thought?

derek ,

Start here: nesslabs.com/how-to-think-betterThis isn’t an endorsement (though I do like ness labs). That article offers practical evidence-based starting points and additional resources at the end.

There are many people/systems/schools that will offer strategies and solutions. Some are practical and effective. None of them are a replacement for learning what it means to think well, learning how to think well, or actually thinking well.

The next step is learning the jargon of philosophy so you can ask meaningful questions and parse the answers (this is true for any new discipline). I recommend reading anything on the topics of epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics, which resonate with you. Then find others to discuss what you’ve read. You do not have to be right or knowledgeable to earn a voice in the conversation: only an interest in discovering how you might be wrong and helping others discern the same for themselves.

If you haven’t read any classical philosophy but are interested I recommend Euthyphro. It’s brief, poignant, and entertaining.

I hope this helps! Happy to discuss further as well.

Nemo ,

Definitely easier and you’ll get farther reading the works of ethical philosophers as seeing what makes sense to you than starting from scratch. For me, Kant, Adam Smith, Plato, and the Stoics were the most influential, but I also read a lot of Christian and Buddhist religious philosophers.

I myself tend to think of ethics as having three components, as I alluded to above: What is moral, what is practical, and what is beautiful. And while beauty is mostly subjective and practicality mostly objective, morality is a lot trickier.

A lot of us seem to agree, because we were taught it or otherwise, that some actions (or results, or thoughts, or attitudes) are morally good and should be pursued and some are morally evil and should be rejected, repudiated, or opposed. And we even agree most of the time about a lot of what is “good” and what is “evil”. Some say that this is because it’s subjective, others think that there are objective moral truths and we have discovered them, as yet, only imperfectly. Which if either of these camps you fall into isn’t really all that important for learning to think ethically, though; what’s important is to have moral precepts that you understand and can strive towards. If you can’t understand your own moral code, how can you seriously attempt to follow it?

Once you have the ability to do moral reasoning, you learn to balance it against practical reasoning, eg. “How much can I afford to donate to charity each month and still pay rent? Are there more effective ways to use that sun for good in the world that donating it to this charity?” and weigh in your aesthetic preferences as well. After some practice, you’ll know why you did whatever you’ve done, and hopefully, be able to explain your reasons to others, even if they don’t share your practical concerns or moral code.

Empathy

The fact that psychedelic drugs like mushrooms and LSD aren’t as dangerous as media and politics make them out to be.

They are actually among the physically safest drugs out there, even when including caffeine and sugar. They can be used in so many ways for self-improvement and treating depressions, anxiety, PTSD and many other conditions.

The book ‘How to change your Mind’ by Michael Pollan is a wonderful read on the topic.

TheFriar ,

Oh yeah? Well I wish people could learn kindness.

Highroaded.

ganymede ,

true kindness would be to not demonise and ban entheogentic medicines with thousands of years of contemporary peer review in the sickening pursuit of corporate greed

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

Mushrooms maybe, but doesn’t LSD have the power to affect someone for life? If I were to use any recreationals, I’m sticking to dreamfish, that doesn’t even have any documented cases of overdosing yet.

tomi000 ,

LSD and psylocibin work very similarly, they even have cross-tolerance. Schizophrenia and psychosis are some of the few risks you need to watch out for when handling psychedelics. If there is a predisposition present like mental illlnesses running in the family, psychedelics may act as a trigger for those and should be avoided or handled very carefully.

Also there is no documented overdose with LSD and psylocybe mushrooms either, even with doses as high as hundreds or thousands of recreational doses.

How to properly go through a four-way stop.

USSEthernet ,

Or use a roundabout

Today ,

Can you teach me this? I have roundabout anxiety.

Assuming right-hand side of road driving and right-hand (anti-clockwise) directionality of travel.

  1. Look left. Clear? Proceed. Not clear? Yield.
  2. When safe to do so, enter the roundabout. Locate your exit.
  3. Exit the roundabout.

Corollary: never stop in a roundabout. Go around more than once if you have to, but don’t stop.

I assume roundabouts in Australia and England and UK colonies that drive on the left, all instructions are direction-opposite.

Assuming left-hand side of road driving and left-hand (clockwise) directionality of travel.

  1. Look right. Clear? Proceed. Not clear? Yield.
  2. When safe to do so, enter the roundabout. Locate your exit.
  3. Exit the roundabout.

Corollary: never stop in a roundabout. Go around more than once if you have to, but don’t stop.

Today ,

In step 1 it’s feels like it’s never clear and i don’t know how long to wait.

USSEthernet ,

It’s like a stop sign entering a busy road. You stay stopped until it’s clear. Never mind the impatient people behind you that probably don’t know how to use a roundabout as well. People seem to think that you just enter the roundabout without stopping and people in the roundabout have to yield to them. The people in the roundabout have the right of way so they can get out of it and make room for more.

Today ,

I always go and stop at the wrong time, i feel stuck, and then I’m like, “Look kids- Big Ben, Parliament…”

Empathy. People criticizing each other often make the same “mistakes” that are nothing but normal human behaviour. Once you understand that we are all pretty much equal, you start realizing that most bad things are sistematic. There are few bad people, most people are quite nice and forced (or taught) to behave badly

tomi000 ,

Very well said, thank you.

65gmexl3 OP ,
@65gmexl3@lemmy.world avatar

Adding to this, the criticism is more valid if you understand more

thepreciousboar ,

Understanding is the only way to solve any kind of problem

65gmexl3 OP ,
@65gmexl3@lemmy.world avatar

It could be a better way but not the “only way”

It should be Jesus who is the only way, boom !!!

Zink ,

Add on top of this “maybe you don’t need to worry about criticizing others in the first place” and you’re well on your way to a happier existence.

Disclaimer: of course thinking critically is important, and there are areas where you’d be irresponsible not to be critical of others. I’m talking about the IV drip of negativity of constantly getting annoyed at things that don’t affect you.
