Amazon promotes the shittiest, least honest reviews to the top of most products, though I guess if you know how to hunt for the rough 2-4* ratings you can technically find real reviews too.
“Objective worth” is a bit of an oxymoron, because worth is up to your value judgment.
If you’re questioning the “evolutionary imperative” that organisms want to pass on genes - one fairly human trait is that a lot of us can consciously diverge from that instinct, either fulfilling that need by passing on our legacies socially rather than genetically, or just not looking to pass anything on at all.
Something we have in common with other mammals is we prioritize whatever experience is in front of us. Anyone who’s directly affected by catastrophes and strife will have different beliefs than people who aren’t.
So if objective worth has no neat answer, what’s left?
I’d say it’s interesting to have so many different subjective experiences in one world, with a language-based society able to communicate and share many more varied experiences than most animals. Interesting isn’t inherently good or bad, but if nothing was good nor bad then nothing would be interesting.
So yea. Human life is entertaining. We’ve got that going for us!
P.S. If you’ve ever lived in a city whose infrastructure is strained by overpopulation, you don’t necessarily view declining/shifting populations as a bad thing.
What’s crazier than your weirdly combative, out of touch comment is the fact 6 other people decided to upvote it.
When large corps make news laying off 30% of staff, those people are getting severance packages.
Did you get lost and end up in the 1850s?
Their guess sounds really plausible though
Yep I’ve been witnessing it for years and I still have no idea how to wrap my head around what is happening
You confused me for a sec, I’ve enjoyed Anodyne Coffee Roasting lots and thought their space is plenty comfortable lol
I’m sure you haven’t
Yea that wasn’t meant to downplay the skill required to hang. But relatively speaking, defending with a goal to clinch up takes a ton less effort and risk than pursuing an offensive striking game.
Looking from the other direction, it is incredibly difficult to actually knock someone out who is only defending and waiting to get close to you.
Yea judoka had no striking game and boxer had no wrestling game. Under these conditions the grappler could just wait out the striker until catching a grapple, then win. This is why the Gracie family pushed UFC in the 90s, because karate-and-boxing-obsessed US audiences were constantly surprised by these matches, and it led to more people signing up for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!
You can’t ask, because the OP is just part 1 of an ad
