how to communicate
This is my weakness because i’m afraid to sound awkward or make mistakes which happens a lot
That fact that psychedelic drugs like mushrooms and LSD are so so so so much less dangerous than media and politics make them seem.
They are actually among the safest drugs out there, even when including caffeine and sugar. They can be used in so many ways for self-improvement and treating depressions, anxiety, PTSD and many other conditions.
It is a real shame that illegal drugs in general have such a bad reputation even though the most harmful drugs (namely alcohol and nicotine) are legal and addictions are completely accepted by society.
The book ‘How to change your Mind’ by Michael Pollan is a wonderful read on the topic.
Oh yeah? Well I wish people could learn kindness.
Highroaded.
true kindness would be to not demonise and ban entheogentic medicines with thousands of years of contemporary peer review in the sickening pursuit of corporate greed
Mushrooms maybe, but doesn’t LSD have the power to affect someone for life? If I were to use any recreationals, I’m sticking to dreamfish, that doesn’t even have any documented cases of overdosing yet.
LSD and psylocibin work very similarly, they even have cross-tolerance. Schizophrenia and psychosis are some of the few risks you need to watch out for when handling psychedelics. If there is a predisposition present like mental illlnesses running in the family, psychedelics may act as a trigger for those and should be avoided or handled very carefully.
Also there is no documented overdose with LSD and psylocybe mushrooms either, even with doses as high as hundreds or thousands of recreational doses.
Situational awareness.
I’m genuinely not sure whether this is a teachable skill or something more like a character trait.
If you got really bad scores your DM may allow you a re-roll
Class consciousness.
So then we stop fighting each other for peanuts and look at who gets to benefit from our generalised political apathy.
How to not be evil. You’d think it’s simple, but evidently not.
Because it’s subjective?
EDIT: example - abortion is evil for conservatives, but it is practically good for others
“Evil” does not mean “something I don’t like.” Conservatives are evil by their own standards too.
My gut answer was math.
Yeah it’s not as important as decency. But fucking hell people, it’s not that scary and it teaches you to think in ways a lot of people could use to think
Another language. It changes the way you see the world
ASL has made a shocking difference in my life, both opening me up as a more accessible person, but also finding a lot of use for it in my own file!!
To use the bins/trash cans and stop littering. Especially on beaches, parks, reserves and on the motorway.
By extension also, cigarettes, plastic, and aluminium/cardboard. Hate that.
It’s one thing if it’s compostable fruit, but cigs… do those smokers seriously think it’ll just go away?
I wish we could learn from our mistakes.
Basic computer literacy.
Basic what literacy?
I agree. It is insane that they don’t make sure people understand computer basics, now that our life is defined by computers. I hate that people are divided to the “tech savvy” and “tech ignorant” camps at work. It makes me question what sci-fi had me believe about “technologically advanced societies”.
Critical thinking, so everyone could understand that everyone else has their own shit that matters to them.
The world would be a lot nicer to live in if entire groups of our society didn’t feel this incessant need to convert others to their way of thinking, be it political, cultural, or religious.
As long as one person isn’t hurting or subjugating another, IDGAF.
It seems to me groups have people have been choosing a king to do their reasoning for them since the beginning of humanity. And, the application of computers to communications and profits has significantly raised the bar of adequacy for wise decisions while (US) educational efforts have been in decline for nearly a half century.
How do we encourage the critical mass of free thinkers to break the current paradigm, let alone the ancient one?
Sincerely, does anyone see some sort of plan here? I often feel like I’m shouting into the void for little more than dying with self-respect. Can we reason our way to revolt, already?
Can we reason our way to revolt, already?
`twould be nice, but I see this as requiring a multi-generational solution. We need enough young voters to get out there and vote with their social conscience, to overcome the combined weight of ignorance, money and power.
Seems to me every single time Americans significantly changed their laws, they had to break laws, often pick up firearms, then boycott, illegally enforce their strike’s picket lines, riot and revolt. Perhaps you shouldn’t be speaking of the combined weight of ignorance of society. Maybe your time would be better spent reading a history book rather than attempting to teach.
Maybe you should take the time to engage your own critical thinking, and realise not everyone is American.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I scoped correctly. And, you’re Australian, meaning your government follows where we lead regardless of what you vote for. Bad faith fuck.
Jesus, talk about failing to get the point.
I’m not talking about my government or yours. I’m talking about society making a change for the better. That requires change at a generational level. Bigger guns aren’t the answer - changing people’s thinking is.
But, by all means, feel free to keep playing the Team America card. That’s what landed that orange-skinned moron in the White House for his first term.
Jesus, talk about failing to answer a simple question. If you don’t know fuck all about how to implement our shared goal, perhaps you should humble the fuck down and learn to ask good questions.
How dare u think like this i demand you change your mind.
In all seriousness tho this would never work cos it is a belief that fundamentally goes against that of those who dont already hold it. I suppose we can use the pardox of tolerance to argue that we should forcefully (using violence if nessasary) convert people to this way of thinking.
to love themselves so they can love everyone else
Wish granted, now everyone is an insufferable narcissist, because they only love themselves.
Narcissists don’t actually love themselves, they desperately need the approval of others.
Wait, really? I certainly didn’t approve of the last Karen I encountered.
Well, they probably didn’t like that, did they?

Me: Composting
Interesting choice.
Recently local people were forced to separate bio waste from regular waste or compost bio waste themselves.
There were so many smelly failures around town for a long time and many gave up. Just small mistakes.
Composing is really easy once you understand one basic rule: if it smell you have to much humid nitrogen.
Add a good amount of carbon to it and the smell will be gone the next day. Carbon can be dry leaves, cardboard, wood … Usually “brown” material.
The is the exact same thing in dry toilet or chicken coop, if it smell bad add some carbon to it to bring back the balance between nitrogen and cardboard.
Class struggle
That they need to understand others in order for people to understand them. That the “tragic prince” is just a fallacy and I would really really want other people around me to appreciate art-forms more. Most of the time they find a movie good and just list the content as the reason for it’s goodness, not paying attention to any of the craft and it baffles me that more people are not attached to or interested in how art-forms do the things they do.
