  • In regards to actors, it’s less their actions in a movie and how they carry themselves. Desdpool is actually a good example. Ask friends and family if they think Ryan Reynolds is a good person or not and why. For me the answer is simple, I have no idea mainly because I have never met him.

    I agree with your comparison between Hasan and Destiny, although I’m not sure if Destiny has really figured out a repeatable process others could follow. Its been a few years since I listened to his content though, there might be a bunch of copycat Destiny’s making content successfully. Keep in mind though even he has limitations, as evidenced by his political campaign in Nebraska.

    I’m also concerned that the bully and shame technique will just cause defensiveness rather than a change in perspective. I’m essentially of the opposite perspective though, people need to be able to tolerate being around others with vastly different views without getting aggressive or defensive.

    A somewhat absurd example of this is that I think that Israel and Palestine will only ever be peaceful if they accept living in the same country together under equal rights. A one country solution so to speak.



  • Opinions can be worth a lot these days though, thats why people will offer them up to begin with. I agree it should be far more common to say, “I barely know anything about this, so I have no opinion”, but how do you incentivize that socially.

    Noone becomes accepted/promoted/famous by admitting they dont know something, but you can do all of those things by putting out half-baked opinions.

    I think I have a better example than religion. Famous actors. People often believe they are exactly the same on screen as in real life, despite them telling you they are actors. Its another thing as a society we have not decided on, but theres no reason to hedge your bet in this case I can think of.






  • I just think even democrats had trouble trusting she actually stood for those things. Thats the problem. Its funny the democrats were arguing green party voters only come out and campaign every four years, when democrats seem to only have progressive values every four years.

    This time they went crazy and tried to go conservative for some reason, thinking they could out republican the republicans.

    They really thought republicans were reluctantly voting for trump. They really thought they could win without sacrificing all their corporate donations either.



  • I agree, theres plenty of nice nature paths sandwiched between suburban sprawl, and they most certainly get cell service.

    I think we need a new word for online dating versus dating folks you meet in your community. Maybe edating or something. I’d personally argue online dating is inherently dangerous for at least one party, regardless of circumstance, so whether its a hike in the woods or meeting at a coffee shop makes no difference.

    Online dating is equivalent to blind dating essentially.
