    Italy is left of Bernie? I’m apparently ignorant, can you please tell me where is that intersection of “left of Bernie” and “adult children lives at home”?

    Maybe I don’t understand left of Bernie: Is he far right so left of him is still right?

    New research suggests it is slightly about the medium (for the kids, idk about adults it wasn’t discussed). Physical books are better for attention span, apparently because they have “friction”, i.e., you have to turn the page yourself so you “work” for the information, which makes information “valuable” so you hold onto it.

    I guess we can have crank-powered e-readers where you have to work to turn the page?

    I still would never watch someone do sports but the other day I had this idea: Children sports must be more exciting to watch because children grow -> they have to adapt to their new arm length on the match day! Whoops his aim is off by 2 cm today, can he adapt in time??!



  • Every person (who is not deemed invalid, criminals cannot vote haha what if they change the law right?) gets to vote + Everyone’s vote counts the same = If you have one child your family has 3 votes, if your neighbor has 4 children they have 6 votes. In a democratic event, if they can come to an agreement, they choose what happens without your input.

    Maybe in the next generation your children will out-procreate their children, then you get to decide without your neighbor’s input. How isn’t it fuck-based?



  • I used to believe art could be used to gaze into the zeitgeist of their production times.

    Then I realized what you have just said. If someone in the future looks at hollywood productions, they’ll have very wrong ideas about how people live nowadays. Like, it will be comically wrong. You could throw a dice to select a verb from a dictionary and you’d be more correct.
