There is a norwegian study that found that isolated beaver babies start piling up sticks and stuff at some point but do not build dams. They concluded (the scientists) that piling up stuff is genetic and building dams is cultural (has to be learned). I have no link but the study was made in Bø

"EXtrEmisM" he seemes to have been in a relatively semi dogmatic anarcho kinda group

Ein Deckenventilator. Monatelang hin und herüberlegt. Am ende 140 ausgegeben für einen hübschen und großen mit Leuchte und "extraleise". Im Winter geil weil lüften schneller geht. (Rauche im Zimmer und merke direkt wenn die Luft nicht hanz ausgetauscht is) Im Sommer geil weil geil.

It is deeply inspiring what this oevre tells us about the dialectics of meaning developing between a post and it's audience. Even with no inherent meaning the picture unfurls the deepest human desire to connect and to form communities, especially in disconnecting times and virtual places of refuge from it.

No I'm not going back to reddit. I will stand with you, withstanding the most selfreferential, the most empty, in hope of a we to fill that void.

That's not fair at all.

Capitalism sucks. The humans have a bountiful potential for they create meaning via emergence of consciousness in an organism wired to desire/avoid. Only this brings so the categories good/bad into existence.

Don't blame humans because some historic proceedings did not yet suffice.

We are our victims, too.

Clearly visible he was exquisitely good of a boy. May his goodness subsist in his pack.

You are now our linguistic vanguard.

There is so much less pretentious misleading alienated crap here. Love that. I'd like some more non-repost interesting videos, that's something I miss... But totally worth the tradeoff of not getting pissed at how dumb of shit you can post and still get positive mass response. Plus the feed here has an end. No more oops I spent an hour looking at shit

Interesting approach, gonna think about it. So far I didn't take disinformation as a result of news companies going broke.

Why would people forget that the BBC is more trustworthy then someones uncle, just because his opinion is for free? The distrust in "old authorities" like big newspaper or governments is, in my opinion, a long-term result of the broken promisses of the hegemony they are, or seem to be, part of.

The concept "people have to have to pay for quality information" doesn't sit right with me. Relevant info should be available for everyone! And trustworthy news orgs should be funded pubicly.

I remember being all "omg great the internet will finally free information everything will be awesome" in like 2008.

Then I read some Marxist analysis saying "nope, rather sooner than later the market principles, as the hegemonial/contemporary means of humans organizing themselves, will fuck it up and it will kinda suck lile everything else"

I even remember that feeling of hope: "nah this time they're wrong".

Turns out if you don't change the political economy, shit trickles up into any nice social project.

... also this is why I love niches like reddit (ba dum tss), feddit

Good meme. But what is this "rule" thing about?
