It’s a good video that addresses a lot of misconceptions. I do believe I’m an introvert, but I also see a lot of people greatly misunderstanding introversion/extroversion.
One part of the video that really hit home for me is the part where he talks about having a purpose. I can speak in front of large crowds because I’m there with a defined purpose, whereas I’ve never gotten used to small talk. This became really obvious back when I was in a band. People would talk to me after the show at the table and assume I was the same person I was during our performance, whereas in a way that was just a role I played, but it was comfortable for me because I was there with a purpose. It’s not this alone that defines introversion/extroversion, but I feel like a lot of people could benefit from understanding this. It’s why most of the friends I make are centered around shared hobbies and interests.
I usually don’t click YouTube links, but this was good.
this shit is so fucking obnoxious. if ‘introvert’ basically functions as a preferred positive label for people with social anxiety [ie ‘special needs’ instead of the r-word], fine. people with social anxiety ARE VERY LIKELY to be introverts because anxiety causes you to exert excess energy. having social anxiety shouldn’t disqualify you from being an introvert, that makes no fucking sense.
also lol this dude has another video called ‘Stop Being A Low Value Man’. i rest my case
If you ever find yourself linking a video from a fascist grifter, you need to log off for a year and rethink your life.
EDIT: Oof I should have looked before posting. Healthygamer intentionally uses that kind of language to reach people who would otherwise/have already fallen into the fascist griftersphere. He’s very much not a part of that pipeline, quite the opposite actually.
He is a licensed therapist and a superb communicator. He is operating on the actual technical definitions of those words in psychology (not what people on the Internet feel they should mean). I don’t know the source of your anger or your need to sound opinionated in the Internet, but it seems to me that you might benefit from watching a few of his videos. Take care homie ✌️.
Democracy is incompatible with power concentration. Excessive wealth easily translates into power, thus, it breaks the balance of any democracy.
There’s also a saying that “Democracy cannot exist while people are hungry”, because a common complaint is that “poor people vote with their stomachs”.
Let me use an example. Let’s say you’re my partner, and it’s movie night. I give you a choice between two movies: Star Wars, and Harry Potter. However, if you choose Harry Potter for movie night, I will actually break both your hands with a sledgehammer.
I say I’m giving you a choice, but do you actually have a fair choice?
People choose policies that might be beneficial in the short term, but very harmful on the long way. For example, restricting immigration might have a favourable short term impact on wages, but in the long term it will stagnate the economy and pensions schemes, and make people even more poor.
So… People who are hungry will vote for whatever brings food to their table today, so they don’t really have a choice, because those policies or politicians are not actually on their side, they are just benefiting from the misery of others.
yes! the best thing about my life is choosing when I want to interact with people. I love doing so many things and have lots of hobbies, so I’m really happy when I’m alone. I also don’t have social media apps in my.phone (just Boost for lemmy!!S2) which is an amazing thing for your mental health.
Also I have a dog and 2 cats. Fuck people they are a lot better
That’s pretty funny, but also fuck that snitchin ass rat. I have no respect for snitches, and I hope he has to deal with the repercussions of his choices for the rest of his life.
True democracy would be filling at least one branch of government with randomly selected citizens. Career politicians are psychopaths and don’t represent us.
Two terms for each position seems reasonable so you can be asked to continue or asked to leave. This allows you to run on a policy, implement it and then fix it or things that need to be tweaked and then get out.
Think that issue gets resolved quickly as no one really has the power in tenure anymore. If everyone only has a few years a cycle or two of stalemates will eventually lead to both sides having to work together or try and win the entire house.
This leads to another problem. Everyone will make policy to suck up to industry in order to secure a job after their term limits.
It’s already a problem of politicians swapping in and out of politics and into industry. Today they “represent the people against car manufacturers”, tomorrow they are a car industry lobbyist.
It’s funny and sad at the same time that career politicians are allowed to exist because they tend to be the ones voting for their own restrictions and benefits.
Term restrictions? Fuck that
Increase our own salary even though we haven’t passed any new laws actually helping society? Let’s goo
The New Brandeis movement opposes the school of thought in modern antitrust law that antitrust should center on customer welfare (as generally advocated by the Chicago school of economics). Instead, the New Brandeis movement advocates a broader antimonopoly approach that is concerned with the structure of the economy and market conditions necessary to promote vigorous competition.
Capitalists hate capitalism. They don’t want to compete with other firms, they want a monopoly. So it’s like you’re saying to the monopolists, fine, you want to do capitalism? Well then we’re going to jam so much capitalism down your throat you’ll shit free market competition.
