Yes.

No. I’m suggesting that just because a person is intolerant doesn’t mean that they’re oppressive.

Oppression implies that there is an oppressor with some sort of power or control over the other party.

Intolerance is being unwilling to accept something.

There’s a substantial difference between intolerance and oppression.

“Human nature” is a reductive term used to describe a set of complex behaviors that no one fully understands.

Yeah, you don’t have to be gay just to be able to admire art.

Well are you? I don’t see any proof you’re trying to deny it.

There’s no way cavemen weren’t the first people having bukakke gangbangs.

That’s super cool, I’ve wanted to do something similar like this but never have had the opportunity.

People who like talking and listening I suppose. Then just click the mute button on someone’s name if they’re being abusive.

Yeah, I definitely get that. Even so, sometimes I think it’d be nice to talk to people for more clarity. Maybe voice chats would require a moderator to start them and stay there to facilitate the conversation?

Hot take: All criteria used to classify ideas and objects into distinct categories can eventually break down. The only reason to pursue the creation of classification systems is to facilitate communication. If we get to a point where we start throwing chairs at each other I’d argue were no longer willing to communicate, and so arguing about whether something is “this” or “that” is no longer a priority. The priority should become attending to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individuals in the absence of labels.

“There’s no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism so fuck everyone.”

It would be the same as saying there is only one species of broccoli, Brassica oleracea.

Holy crap two fun back and forths leads to a book recommendation, today has been a great day. Thank you!

The curve could definitely be S shaped, but it’s hard to say.

I think that I would be really unhappy/bored in a world where I got to experience “everything” I wanted to do. In fact, just the idea of not having to make any trade offs/compromises is incredibly paralyzing to think about right now lol

If the clones don’t allow me to live forever, eventually dying would be the most interesting thing for me to do because it would be the only “new” thing left to experience in my lifetime.

Being able to clone myself and sync with my clones is something I’ve thought about since I was a kid.

I don’t think increasing the number of clones would ever allow me to satisfy all my wishes. The number of things I want to do increases with the number of experiences I have in a non-linear way. If I want to be satisfied I need to be willing to accept all of my wishes will never be fulfilled.

To answer your question specifically: 0 clones

No. Peace of mind comes from trusting, not from knowing.
