I think the japanese once made a rly throughout planning of a mega-structure. Looked very, very similar. The structure would have even housed a few middle sections with out-door parks, because traveling all the way down would just take too long or something. Or maybe to save potential energy? idk -and too lazy to look up as well :3

lurked around and found https://www.symbols.com because of looking up symbols.
found this gem, /symbol/epyc-wynn under anarchy tagged symbols, /group/12/Anarchism+Symbols

> Epyc Wynn is a hacktivist memetic symbol representing a desire for revolution against unethical mods and admins and promotion of free speech on all websites. It is heavily tied to forum and meme communities and is borderline anarchist in nature due to its appeal to overthrowing unethical digital "governments."


> Epyc Wynn is a symbol based on the aesthetics of the Awesome Face meme. It originates with a user who originally went by the name Epyc Wyn but later changed their name to Epyc Wynn. More commonly the symbol has a yellow forehead with white scleras, purple mouth, and red tongue.


> The original user of this symbol brought the symbol to prominence after gaining high ranks on KnowYourMeme and Escapist Magazine as well as gaining high numbers of views on their threads on KYM, EM, and Encyclopedia Dramatica. This combined with their sharp criticism against moderators and administrators on these sites and ultimately being banned from said sites, led to the symbol becoming well-known as a symbol of rebellion against unethical Internet moderators and administrators.


> This memetic symbol is additionally notorious because the user who originally created it has repeatedly forced its spread online, even going as far as creating pages such as this one.

This mindset is why you have moderators in the first place. Sure, abusive moderators exist, but they are outnumbered by shitposting cretins and obsessive schizos 100:1 in every scenario.
I actually had this "Dude you're abusing the moderation tools" conversation once when I banned someone from my discord server after he did a two day non-stop schizo-rant (while on speed) about a trans-MBTI-conspiracy holding hostage someone they haven't talked to for 8 years now, and most of this was reposting the same 3-4 articles about how you cannot edit an instagram photo after posting it, while he'd rant about how the article says you can edit it.
Moderators don't owe anyone Jack. Ernstmod could nuke my ass right fucking now because it's his/her site. It's not the fucking French Revolution with a fucking bill of rights. If I want to ban you and I have the authority, then I fucking will, it's that fucking simple.

Despotism is when you use your force indiscriminately to get what you want. Absolutism is when you have the ultimate, final say in an issue and could get away with forcing it, but ultimately you are steering the ship of state in relation to the consensus of the stakeholder/politically empowered classes that carry our your policies, so if you piss them off they will find a way to erode your authority or your person.

Does not make sense, as I explained in the last post where you adressed my user experience of that app. You can google tube girl to find out about one of many TikToks that go viral. It would be more useful to ask for sounds (they are the templates for many memetic content) but even then I'm sceptical about it representativeness.

I have read your sentence a few times and obviously your teacher is wise and absolutely correct. Even when you describe absolutism, you do it in a Machiavellian sense. To simplify, in this definition absolutism is rational despotism, in which you limit your scope of actions to ensure you remain in power. It's telling that you specifically mention &&politically empowered classes&& in your absolutism social contract.

>>9440
>is it worth looking up "despotism"? and is it what those two are fighting over? or something created to categorize ... uh... what exactly?
In Bossuet's maxim "Kings are not spared the law" the idea exists the law is a separate entity to the monarch and in some sense this absolute power is subject to fundamental law that is conceptually above him. In the original formulation, the only theoretical class formulation of whose needs was considered was this loose "people" of whom the Monarch was their father. In return for absolute obedience, absolutist and powerful father returns mercy and justice to his people.
In contrast, despotism is a leader enacting his arbitrary earthly will. There is no sense of law beyond might, or really at all.

I think this is a healthy viewpoint. I never understood why some people are fixated with leaving something behind after their death or making a mark on the world. For me I'd prefer to leave the world behind as it was, I can't see the value in trying to extend my impact on the world beyond my death, it just seems like such a vain thought to me.

On a somewhat more serious node:
What is your meta-analysis of that platform?
Do you think it is neutral? What kind of content gets pushed if there are multiple to potentially choose from? You say it is very sound focused. Is it because it is like a recurring loop/chorus/whatev in a glitched out/distorted song with multiple artist performing this one tune/vibe? Also, if it is a "mass"-media, do you need to look at "potential"-options or is it enough to look at "default"-options(, because the masses are using the default...)?

What I can think of is thirst trapping and porn stars/OF people making suggestive TikToks, since nudity is not allowed. Once the algorithm finds out you linger on and like this content, you will get more of it.

>Do you think it is neutral?


What do you mean by neutral? Neutral in relation to what? Or is that meant in relation to the question/answer above?

>What kind of content gets pushed if there are multiple to potentially choose from?


There are specific genres of course, like psychology, dating, dancing, humor, nature, social critique, politics, news, music, animals etc. You get what you like so you stay on the platform and that is slightly different to everyone. TikTok has a lot of different content for different audiences. I even get people visiting malls, mall nostlagia etc. It's there, just like cat videos and medical content, memes from the world of law and laywers, and compilations of oceanic horror (ships in storms, platforms on storms filem by people who have a smartphone with them etc). If you are into specific niches you will eventually find videos for it and can explore the more you stay. My roommate uses TikTok and we have different FYP since we are very different people albeit for example we sometimes get the same sound or even TikTok/Creator. TT also pushes new stuff to you and tries if you like it, this can also be already popular stuff.

>Is it because it is like a recurring loop


Probably, it is a short video app. Sound is a crucial ingredient for video and it works like the symbol of a frog under which all kinds of male bachelor experiences are gathered. TikTok is very situation-focused like many other memes are.

If the nation is like a body, then the Jew is like AIDS.
Sweden had practically no Jews prior to WWII. Then, they let in the Jews, for 'humanitarian reasons', and the Jews began their work. Like with AIDS, it took many years until the first signs of infection started to show. The 40s ended, the fifties came and went, so did the sixties. The Jews had taken control of all the news media, and they had planned their lies in the minds of young people. The Jews were the disease that made all other diseases possible by weakening the nations defences so all the other vile bacteria could invade the country, as so-called refugees and immigrants. When Sweden previously would not even tolerate Finns and Danes, they now imported Yugoslavians. There's an article from 'Jolo' (died April 1974) about how Yugoslavia will 'fill the swedish vacuum.' Then, they had ever stranger imports from ever worse Muslim shitholes in Africa. Now, Sweden is the most dangerous country in Europe, full of criminals from abroad. They finally woke up, but they can do nothing about it now-the vile diseases from Somalia and Arabia and Yugoslavia are inside the country and have taken control. Their is no way to remove them. The Jews have done their work, crisis has come. The niggers train even children to shoot people in the streets. Civil war against the native population has started.

Sweden is what the rest of Europe will be before the decade ends, unless therapy is started now! The Jews must be removed from the public life, so their multicultural propaganda stops weakening the nations defenses against foreign criminals. Then, the deportations can start and Africans and Arabs can be sent back to where they belong.

How about you heed your own advice? You started this, you are responsible for it, especially if you already knew you were triggering me. Or was it "Wladi"'s fault for triggering you?

And you still have to explain why bullying needs creativity, because I am genuinely interested in how you come to this conclusion. Were your bullies exceedingly creative?

>>9501
>But, yeah... they really could have taken my advice and spoiler + german that exchange.
You know, you have kind of a point.
I suggest making the vote only available for non-germanballs and keep it to a single exchange of insults. That way the audience can decide who won, like a duel of ould.
Provided it's even possible for the autistic german to accept such a vote, this can keep the bickering to exactly two posts.
Now the question is, do you want to essentially abolish bickering?

You would need to explain yourself here why that is the case. You demand a canon which I think is not possible. One might be able to put 5 TikToks together that represent a short video app experience but how representative is that compared to Instagram Reels or Youtube Shorts? What is the representation aiming for, what exactly should be represented? The rapid movement of clips, scrolling and app design? "form" Well that should work, content-wise it becomes tricky as I tried to explain already, but even then some template adressing content forms might work. There might be a TikTok that tries to represent a TikTok experience. My experience might be a marginal one on that app and 70%+ never have a FYP that diverges from when they first downloaded the app. But then it would heavily depend on the algorithms what experience you make but also which kind of person you are, both lock into each other.

Depends what you understand as surprisingly popular. Basically there is just a bunch of hippies and drug enthusiasts that do it despite how easy it is to find them here, I think it will become more popular because of the internet though.
In popular consciousness Amanita is equivalent to deadly mushroom, parents will teach their kids to stay away from it etc. so this has to be broken up further by availability of information. Also it is difficult to dose, so that's another hurdle. And a lot of trip descriptions are not exactly pleasant, so that's what keeps people away from it.

I was noticeably agitated this morning I feel like. Went to the tailor's to have some pants fitted. Beforehand my mother dragged me along to help her choose a wreath for grandma's burial. We ordered two.
Don't remember much about my religious education from kindergarten, but I somehow did managed to correctly guess that a traditional one for the occasion is purple. Or at least, has some purple. We got one with red and white flowers and one with purple and white flowers.
I said that if we're bothering to have a priest show up, at least one of the wreaths should conform to the rites in style. Not that I'm particularly good at practicing my religion.

Afterwards we did a minor grocery run. I usually shop at the store we went to and I was surprised how much anxious I was to have my mother along because she basically threw off the whole routine of me going to the store, by going down different aisles and so on.
I guess I was just a bit hungry.

At home I played some video games and polished the presentation a bit. I have to talk like 15 minutes for a semi-professional audience so I can get away with not reading 3 books on the topic.

All this talk about biohacking.

Maybe I should listen to Hubermann and eat yogurt again to alter my microbiome for the better eating a lot of junk lately, but maybe gorgonzola cheese has also beneficial bacteria

Well is this genetically inherited or otherwise? Like mom's current microbiome is the baby's, but mom's microbiome is not genetically determined but varies by intake and other environmental factors like stress.
As the experiment is interpreted, giving antibiotics changes a behavior that was thought of as simply genetically determined. This seems to be ruled out by now.

Turns out there are now a lot of studies showing this same result over and over again: The gut flora (or microbiome) has measurable influence on your daily behaviour.

It's not genetically inherited. The mothers birth canal contains a film of bacteria with which the baby is covered when it passes through and that bacteria seem to function both as a shield from outside, environmental bacteria, and as a kick-starter for the babies microbiome.
Which is also the reason why in hospitals today babies aren't immediately scrubbed clean anymore but are left with some portion of the mothers bacteria for a few hours.

This is also one explanation why statistically (in the past) babies born by C-section had weaker immune systems.

When you enter a woman, it's only because thousands of little glands of piss and fat metabolism byproducts synthesize a mucus that makes her "moist".
Seen from a biochemical point of view it is pit sweat with urine and a little fat mixes in, so basically the most disgusting thing a human can produce all by herself, except for menstrual blood. If a woman does practice adequate hygiene, this blood sets down deep inside of her and starts rotting. Of course you will never notice any of that, because special bacteria break down that blood, but strictly speaking, it's just rotting away inside the woman.

It didn't go okay because I left the presentation at home. We talked about Chinese burial shit for an hour ultimately. I felt a bit sidelined because the lecturer kept interrupting me to talk about random shit and he just does this shit better than me and I'm jealous.

Found this old music lexicon on the shelves in the hallway and I checked out to see if Shostakovich was in it, and he was. It's from 1929 so it's kind of early in his career. The article doesn't foreshadow at all the greatness that was to come.
I think a later edition of this lexicon has like 2-3 pages dedicated to him.

> Don't know about that. Could there bee enough wild bees and other insects so we can do without beekeeping for pollination? The medicated hives (antibiotics, fungicides, etc.) create a reservoir for parasites and diseaese that can then infect wild bees and lead to their decimation.

I've been thinking about that lately again.
From my perspective and as far as I know: the honey bees used for beekeeping are not negatively affecting the wild bee population at large. Yes, you mentioned antibiotics, fungicides, etc., but I wouldn't categorize that as an inherited problem of beekeeping, but an important question regarding the "How?".

I would argue, since my expectations for humanity are kinda low, that if we fail to save wild bee populations some of the plants might be endangered as well, yes, but having colonized honey bees as partly replacement is still good.

Saving pandas? Welp, they are cute... but are they relevant? Repopulating tigers, currently, while there are still a lot more in Zoos than in their natural habitat... How far is the human allowed to super-impose his interpretation on nature? Or should the human just leave everything to die, if his "natural" behaviour causes this?
I really don't know how to answer such questions. I don't even know if it is "the right thing to do" to search for answers, lol.


I think until I come across compelling data suggesting beekeeping negatively influences wild insect populations, I'm going to remain on the "good thing" side of interpretation.

This is a potato salad recipe that LIDL sent me via the exclusive Lidl Plus app.

Start by peeling the potato and cutting it into thin half slices; set aside.
Place the finely chopped onion in a bowl; season with salt, add the vinegar, and stir well, allowing it to rest for about ten minutes. Add the parsley, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise, and sour cream, and stir well until you have a homogeneous, slightly lumpy cream (which includes all the chopped ingredients).
Add the potato and fold it into the creamy mixture, ensuring that the potato is completely covered. Taste to adjust the seasonings.
Chill for a minimum of two hours before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop.

Woke up, hastily did some more homework, which turned out to have been unnecessary, because nothing was assigned.
We didn’t even write a test.
I decided to try the herbal tea and coffee combo from yesterday and it really put me on the edge again. I guess if I were American I’d be dead from substance abuse by now.
I felt really alert and I was observing a lot of things.

I didn’t fail modern Chinese. I managed to get a C, basically saying my performance was “mediocre”.
Unbalanced as usual, because I did a flawless Chinese to Hungarian translation and then I managed to fuck up everything else short of writing the small essay. One part was fucked because I corrected an error in the sentence where the lecturer used 至 instead of 之 and as it turns out, that wasn’t the error, that was just something she randomly fucked up while composing the test. No points awarded.

After class I went to pick up the book I ordered. I look forward to learning a lot from this. Checked out the book-cart and bought a book on Greek mythology.

Dropped off a book at the library. They cancelled my Classical Chinese class again and at this point I’m not even frustrated. I worked on it. I honed my skills. The department can suck it.
I chatted with the librarian a bit and under her breath she told me that the cancelled class doesn’t matter because it’s not like I can learn much from the substitute teacher whe got to hold the class. Ultimately, still high on caffeine and the herbal tea I confessed that I actually love doing what I’m doing. I love translating texts, I love doing philology and historical research and so on. No matter the complaining. I do what I do because I love it, not because I didn’t have other options.

The dog is apparently actually sick. The vet said that it’s the spine. I thought that was only a thing for very large dogs, but happens with smaller breeds too.
My mother said that if the anti-inflammation injections stop helping the dog, then she’ll be put down. And you know, it fucking hurts.
We never really counted the years but apparently we’ve had her for 13 years. Never would have imagined. I spent more of my life having this dog than not having it.
Honestly I feel like I should focus on the present. The dog is still here. It looks happy, it greets me when I get home, I can pet it and give it a treat and so on. And she will be for quite some time. Even in the dead of the night it woke up to greet me as I stumbled home from my last class at college.
But it’s kinda like how Gilgamesh learns that he will die one day and it makes him sad. It doesn’t matter how it’ll happen a lot later.

Went to German class and at one part of the lesson we talked about a poll they conducted in 2015 about what people would wish for to make them happy if a fairy were to make them come true. I was smirking so hard as I looked through it and I told the lectuerer that “I cannot decide whether “Weltfrieden” or “bessere Politik” ist funnier as an expression and it was a fucking riot like neither of us could stop laughing at it.

Ultimately I’m in high spirits I guess. Gonna gave a library run tomorrow. Just reading. Maybe giving that Su Dongpo essay another go. I got some lunch money so I’ll try to go extra early.

The division is not explicit, but implicit.
The spiritual arises from the worldly as an emergent phenomenon.

For example, there is no reason, materially, that we should actually experience and observe the phenomena that arise from the biological functions of our existence(s).
Being able to experience things serves no actual "mechanical" purpose, we could very well have been mechanical automatons with no emergent "observer" to experience any of the processes and stimuli fed into our brains, but here we are.

The color red, as a particular expression of a particular wavelength of radiation doesn't have to be observed to actually exist and perform its function. Same with pain, joy, love, happiness, etc. None of these things actually have to be experienced, and be experiencable, to perform their functions. And yet we have experience.
That is the great paradox and mystery of our existence(s). That none of this has to "feel" like anything, and yet it does.

I would even propose, that subjective experience, and the possibility of an observer or consciousness, is not merely a consequence / side effect of our universe's physics, but actually a per-requisite for existence at all. Existence in any meaningful sense anyway.
Because imagine a universe materially identical to our own, except there's no emergent consciousness, or observer, or qualia. A universe that leads to creation of life just as our own, except where life forms are purely material, and whose neurological activities don't generate any experiences, OR an experiencER to experience the experiences.
Well, if there is no observer to WITNESS such a universe, could said universe be said to exist at all? Because the ONLY metric we have for verifying the existence of ANYTHING, is that we have experience of them. So, in a universe where there is no experiencer, there can't be anything TO experience. And if there are no phenomena TO experience, there must be no phenomena at all, and therefore nothing at all, because experiencing phenomena is the only actual way to confirm their existence, and if phenomena can't be experienced, they might as well not exist at all.
Do you get me?

If a tree falls in a universe with no Observers, can the tree, and the universe it's in, be said to have existed at all? Because if there's no causality chain by which the effects of the falling tree can be observed by SOMETHING, ANYTHING, then it is indistinguishable from something that never existed at all (and thus wasn't experienced)

Today was fine I guess. I woke up from a nightmare where I failed the exam. The wind was blowing very hard and it woke me up thankfully. I started charging my gadgets and made a herbal tea.
Checked the peppers outside and petted the dog.
Got dressed and downed the tea and went outside to get a few errands done. I sent back a package to the webshop I didn't need to get the three bucks I spent on it back, bought some rotring leads and then I went DM to buy some more herbal tea material. The leads for the mechanical pencil were outrageously priced honestly.

Afterwards I went to the city. Had lunch and then went to the library. The crew at the pizzeria recognised me and knew what I was going to order.

At the library I worked on that Song dynasty piece and yet again it tore me a new one, because after I did a couple of sentences I checked the baihua version and it had little to do with what I translated. I'm just not used to the syntax at all. I also made my powerpoint progress report for next week's consultation.

3-4 hours of studying is quite good for a day. I's useless to sit down for longer because you won't get anything good done when staying longer, rarely at least. 3-4h is what I think makes sense, sometimes it had been longer (or shorter) but oftentimes it does not make sense, sometimes, whn you are in the "zone" it works great but I doubt every day is a "zone" day. Of course, some people now will say they stayed 10h in the library every day but I doubt that this is efficient.

Can confirm, about 3 hours straight was the maximum I could try to read and comprehend/memorize difficult material.

I know this feeling. You specifically have this only with learning? I think you just might have to get "into" the learning material first that takes time and effort. But after doing 2.5h of doing this switching to the other for 30 or 60min might not make much sense anyway because it's not enough time and everything above won't make sense because you won't grasp that much anymore because it has been too long concentrating.

Written exam was a desaster, but apparently everyone else thought it was really hard too, so hopefully they'll adjust the grading, else I might not pass it. Oral exam was not great either, we were supposed to memorize a 2min talk on 4 different topics using a bunch of new grammar/vocabulary but I just cba to memorize all that (and unaided memorization is also a skill I just never really practiced before). Ended up getting my least favorite topic and fumbled content-wise, but my grammar and pronunciation should be fine at least.
Presentation went fine though I was more nervous than I expected despite being so familiar with the topic. I wanted to make it more relaxed and get a few jokes in there, but I think it was rather dry in the end.
Vocabulary exam was easy, there were a few characters I didn't remember but after looking it over a few times I accepted that I won't magically remember them anyways so I did the cocky hand-in-after-30-mins-before-anyone-else move.

Yesterday I stayed up late to help my sister prepare for an exam. I don't know what it is but it's as if she didn't have the confidence to form definitions and the like. She has all the materials handed to her on a silver platter, hell, she even has the questions for the exam and I need to sit down with her and go through each and every question and formulate an answer for her. And I honestly doubt this was an attempt to get out of doing work.
I'm not actually mad. I never had anyone help me like this for university, so I get it.

One of the questions was "How can we transform social capital into financial capital" and I immediately blurted out "corruption" and that one word managed to freak both my mother and my father out because the Actually Existing Socialism reflexes kicked in and they shouted me down not to make my sister bring up the topic lest they kick her out of university, because that place is closely associated with Orbán and his cronies due to the financial restructuring and shit.
I guess I talk easy because my university is "independent" and a perceived opposition bastion.
I'd like to say I'm not hooked into politics, but I kinda am, and I just don't get how can people get so hysterical about this shit. I guess my biggest political weakness is that I love to laugh so much and I'm too detached to be properly aligned with someone actively.

Chinese class went okay. The philosophy seminar was fine. I think I learned a lot about the Daodejing.
I decided that my seminar paper will be on "Legalist tendencies in the Daodejing".
Afterwards I discussed my current research with the professor a bit and basically we corrected an error I made in my interpretation, which I suspected but he confirmed it.

I skipped my German class. I was too tired to go back to the city and tomorrow's the day of my grandmother's funeral.
I feel a bit guilty because I could have probably pulled it off with a coffee or something, but I just wasn't feeling ready.
Ultimately, the teacher is always lenient and tells me I shouldn't worry about my attendance, because I'm basically the only one who always comes.

I ordered a book in Hungary but I'm going to cancel my order because apparently importing it costs half as much as buying it through the local chain. Fucked up honestly.
Also went to the bookstore and picked up a used copy of a Russian grammar. Contemplated buying this Hungarian release of Kiki's Delivery service but I managed to yet again compose myself and not buy a children's book.

Then on Saturday woe is me I'm forced to travel with family again. They made sure to book the tickets before asking me so I'll have my weekend wasted abroad.

It was so cold today I decided to upgrade to my winter coat. Also managed to drain the battery in my bluetooth earbuds. Turns out you have to charge them.

>a young family lost everything
turns out the family father was a literal cripple in a wheelchair!

How is a wheel-chair bound capable of earning enough money to raise a family? It's a trick-question, of course. The government pays for his healthcare, the wheelchair, etc. Companies are forced to employee the handicapped or pay hefty fines, so they have to make everything wheelchair-accessible and have a wheelchair-accessible toilet and so on, and so forth. But this is not enough for the handicapped in Germany. They demand that cable car stations in mountain resorts be made wheelchair-accessible. They demand that literal human magots like Raoul Krauthausen will be allowed to work any job, no matter if this job necessitates the use of his limbs or not. Just assign a help-helper to do the job for him, and have the handicapped person pretend he did the job, problem solved!

Infinite funds need to be made available for the handicapped to pretend-play being able-bodied, because 'Germany is a rich country'.

They are nearly as bad as refugee-niggers and the unemployed who constantly, no matter how much free stuff they get, demand more free stuff. They did not work to earn it, but they demand it. With what right? 75% of all the work I do goes to the pockets of government beurocrats, politicians, refugees, the unemployed, so-called refugees, wealthy pensioners with big houses and two cars, etc.

And this is why in our very free leftist liberal country, ruled by government with 'democratic values' (or is it 'revolutionary values'?), we will soon be not free to heat homes with oil or gas, unless we want to get punished, and we will not be free to not get vaccinated, unless we want to get fired. But that's the people who have 'democratic values' (or is it 'revolutionary values'?), and AfD has 'fascist-authoritarian values'.

Government might soon dictate how private homes are heated, and if you can't afford the investments they demand you make, that is your misfortune. The home was fine when it was built, the home was fine when you bought it, but now government decided that it isn't fine anymore, and you better cough up the money, or else lose the home and get a fraction of what you paid for it.

The actual, objective quality of life level that the planet can currently provide, if the resources were distributed evenly, and western imperialists didn't exploit thirdies to achieve their abnormally high life quality, is around the level of late USSR or middle of the pack developing third world country.

but now that the multipolar world order is finally establishing itself, westoids are crying and screaming as they are dragged back to the level of the rest of humanity

but once the third world casts off its shackles and raises up fully, we will not be content with simply being "equal" to the westoids. no, the westoids deserve to be punished for inflicting untold horrors on the rest of the world. they will be forcefully isolated from the communist utopia built by the third world, all the euroid beasts currently living in native poc lands will be forcefully deported back to europe, packed like sardines on their cursed land, and a YUGE wall will be built around them, and they will claw at the walls and cry and beg, to the enjoyment of the snipers posted along the perimeter, who will mercilessly shoot the ones brave enough to try and climb it.

and then after ten thousand years of imprisonment, when the evil is cleansed from their cursed whitoid lineage, MAYBE we will allow them to join our utopia. as forced laborers. of course, by then all labor will be automated, so they will be forced to toil all their lives performing meaningless work, seeing the products of their labor be destroyed immediately after, then converted back into raw materials, and fed back into the assembly line again

and then great spaceships will be built, and humans will board them and leave for the stars, fulfilling the destiny of humanity, but the whitoid beasts will be barred from the ships, not allowed to leave.
and as the ships depart, they will glass the entire surface of the earth with nuclear weapons, annihilating the whitoids into dust once and for all, and their existence will be wiped from history

It is interesting to see that you equal "sheep" to useful and "neet" to "proclaimed" entirely useless.
There is a lot of other things "to do" outside of "work". e.g. art, politics, philosophy, science... I honestly don't think there is a need to hard-bind this "gets/earns bling-bling" onto "to do" to evaluate the "usefulness" of said "to do".

On top of all that:
Comrades, it is time to honor all the lazy generations which came before us. Their wisdom of laziness gave us machines, robots, drones and other automated tools assisting in our ever growing laziness. It's time to harvest the inherited knowledge and attitudes of our ancestors. The need for work has been nearly eliminated, but the human - in his competitive laziness - keeps working on ever more and creative ways to increase the efficiency of our lazing around.

Today was grandma's funeral. I think it went well enough. The priest did the necessary rites and there was also a mass afterwards.
One thing that surprised me was that my mother knew how things are ought to be done and took it very seriously. Like she knew how to take part in a Catholic mass and all the prayers required. Personally I knew like half of Pater noster and that was about it. I felt a bit ashamed but then again, only my mother was playing along with the rites, and me when I knew what to say. The others stood in silence.
During the mass the part of the Gospels the priest commented on was from John's, and it was that line where Jesus said "I am the way" and I thought it was interesting because the Jesuits felt like it somehow paralleled the Daodejing.

My uncle was visibly frustrated with the whole religious ceremony ordeal and we had to drag him to mass. Mom said he wanted a non-religious burial or something like that.
I'm not a very religious person, but to just call some dipshit life-coach type of guy to hold a speech sounds very wrong for a funeral.
This is just how things are ought to be.

I missed out on calligraphy class, but I think I have around 40-50 more years to learn some calligraphy. But I can only bury grandma once.

Tomorrow we're flying to Milan. Apparently I was wrong and we will be back by Sunday. Basically fly there at like 5, be there for the whole day, and we will be home by midnight. What a strange trip.

All the funerals I have been to in the rather recent past give me the idea that quotes and passages from the bible have this quality already or attain this quality in our societies.

Well strange indeed. Why? Sounds more like a day in the life of business people or models.

I think the whole point of the trip is that my father has some conference to go to and decided to have us tag along so that we can see the Dome and something else and have some lunch.

I don't know. To me a priest at least carries some semblance of authority, be it divine, institutional or traditional. Even if the last few centuries haven't been to kind to the Church.
It feels "proper" this way.
The life-coach guy is just a guy. He doesn't wield any sort of institutional or divine authority over anybody. He's a mirage of the current economic paradigm and nothing more.

That was not me. What you think is connected is not. You were not able to interpret the posts or think about the intention in the right way and that is ok I guess.

You know, that's not always the fault of the receiver.
