Hegar , to science in Introverts use more concrete language than extraverts | BPS

You can say that people who identify as introverts use more concrete language, but there's no reliable way to identify intro/extraversion because it's about as scientific as an internet personality quiz.

Jung's original definition that some people get energy from socializing while others have to expend energy to socialize doesn't hold up to scrutiny. We're social primates and sometimes we like socializing and other times we find it taxing but often it's a little of both.

If you really don't like socializing you may have some degree of social anxiety, and maybe you identify as an introvert. Which is fine of course - most people will understand what you mean.

But I think it's important to remember that we're not talking about a real thing that actually exists in our genes or brains. It's just a vague description of your attitude to socializing.

Nazis in the 1940s were actually socialists

No, they were not. Not at all, not even a little.

You can't eat urinal cake and great danes don't get a vote in the national elections in Denmark.

Sometimes a name is misleading.

If it's a nation state, it's already not a democracy.

The idea that choosing which particular rich people sit in a fancy building is somehow democracy is quite funny.

Hegar , to news in China: New guidelines are an unacceptable escalation in attack on Taiwan’s freedom of expression, rights group says

Even Vietnam is now looking more to USA because they don't trust China anymore!

Vietnam (like so many smaller states) is playing both powers against each other to maximize their own gains. But they are tectonically unable to move away from Chinese influence.

I heard a quote from a Vietnamese diplomat that the US was a great mistress - it's very exciting, you can have a lot of fun. But when you come home, the wife is always there.

Vietnam won't divorce China.

Hegar , (edited ) to asklemmy in Have you gone down any rabbit holes that gave you an existential crisis?

Free will.

It's hard to accept, but free will is just not compatible with reality. It's like geocentrism. It seems obvious on its face because of our limited perspective, but nothing else in the universe makes sense if it's true. We live in a mechanistic universe and cause and effect doesn't suddenly stop when the atoms are part of a human.

I freaked out for about a week once I came to realize how much of our society is based on a scientific impossibility. Redesigning justice, ethics, healthcare, the very concept of blame, etc. to account for this is a daunting fucking prospect.
