LOL I hear you on that. π
Ah, I see. π Thank you for explaining it. ππΌ
Oh dang, I was told it didn't matter which instance I joined. π
I chose it from some join Lemmy website.
Nothing on that website or on the instance sign up page shows the settings or permissions of the instance. It would be nice to view those before signing up.
Now we gotta find the machines that can make both pet and human wet food and treats.
Wake up, people. Reject mathematics. Reject formalism.
We're cooked. π
Yeah, it's sort of a chicken before the egg problem - you need an expert to identify one. The potential for echo chambers is there.
In practice, though, wouldn't it be similar to how any other role is filled?
Here's one criterion: Outcomes. What is their track record? Have they made meaningful contributions that solve complex problems? I don't need an intimate knowledge of carpentry to see that a contractor's reviews have photos of great (or not so great) work.
The actual electoral process could be a variety of approaches, and all have their weaknesses, but most would be 'less wrong' than the current system.
Hardly any economist would agree with a tariff, yet here we are.
I don't have a stake in whether it's a nomination system by academic organizations, or some other minimum bar, or whether the process is still ultimately democratic, etc. One can theorycraft all kinds of technocratic electoral systems and their weaknesses, but I'm gonna need some convincing that any systems' flaws are worse than what we have now.
Yeah, I agree that's an issue. In a way, Americans are experiencing that live, today.
What about a variant of technocracy that accounts for conflicts of interest?
These are great suggestions! Already one step ahead of you - most are already on my to-do list as I work on more posts (I'm about 3 posts in now and should finish 2 of them by next week).
I am from the U.S. and am unfortunately not as knowledgeable about specific resources from other countries. However, most resources should be generalizable to everyone who has access to the internet.
I definitely encourage you and others to post whatever resources you do know! A community is stronger with input from everyone. π I'll continue working down my to-do list and posting what I know.
Already ahead of you! My to-do list has weaker research on SAM-e + vitamin A, orange essential oils, etc.
Thank you so much for commenting this. I'm excited to see this community grow and thrive.
Thank you so much for posting. ππ
I'm doing well! Just finished midterms.
Hey! I personally have C-PTSD. The reason for mine is a bit personal, but I'm sure I can offer some support and advice if you need any.
My community is more general purpose, but C-PTSD evidence-based resources (such as scientific positive psychology research on resilience, mindfulness, etc.) is literally the top thing in my to-do list.
Expect a C-PTSD resources post within 24 hours from now in !Help_Others@lemmy.blahaj.zone
And of course, if you post a specific question, I'll answer it there as well. It's still a new community, so please share it with everyone you know!
Haha, no need to thank me!
It was more out of survival instincts and gauging my environment.
