What’s your opinion on fungal intelligence?
If that’s the actual dialogue I need a link
Yeah sure whatever. What’s worse than anything else is not taking a hardline against capital’s anti China rhetoric. It doesn’t matter if it’s true. What matters is not letting them hurt China. Currently speaking the CCP is our best hope. Anarchist, Marxist, whatever. They’re the only world power that at a minimum pays lip service to socialism. I personally think they’re playing a long game and using state capitalism to develop. There’s a very real possibility of me being delusional out of the desperate hope for somebody with power being on our side.
At the end of the day, the capitalists are already saying the sort of shit you’re saying. If that’s your true belief there are already people far more powerful and far more invested in destroying China saying it. Just don’t add to it yeah?
I disagree, all people have endoskeletons. All known intelligent species (whales,dolphins, apes, ect) do as well. The octopus is a newcomer that hasn’t been properly studied yet, seeing as reports of social structures and complex relations are like 2-3 years old in terms of first reporting.
Also, unless you go full Buddhist mode and treat all life as equally viable there is going to be a hierarchy of some sort. Personally, I’m fine saying a human matters more than a rattlesnake and saying a bee matters more than a cockroach.
Like there exist species who the planet would collapse without, and there are those who if they disappeared would simply have their niche filled by another species.
Or take humans, if we all got raptured only domestic species would suffer outside of those who would suffer due to problems we previously created and were trying to contain like domestic cats. They would be fine for the most part if they had access to the outside at the time of disappearance.
So there are species that matter due to ecology and species who matter because of their intelligence.
I’ll fight a person who says an elephants life has less meaning than a spider crab
Lol buying meme stocks during a dip and selling the same day made me money. Therapy costs money and time. Not that therapy works anyways.
I’ve been in therapy since childhood. The only “therapist” that did any good was a formerly retired psychiatrist who decided to start a place where your therapist was your psychiatrist. Psychiatry works. Therapy maybe.
