No, but I’m not sure how it’s relevant to a conversation about invisible beings. I suppose you suspect that information beyond your ability to sense is impossible, your love of science and rationality has twisted into science fundamentalism.

You remind me of myself in my youth. Humility certainly gets easier with age. I recommend dialing back the antagonism a bit, I warn you that in 10, 15 years you’re going to look back and cringe.

If you’re anything like I was, that warning won’t make a difference though. It’s strange being on the other side. I wish it could be otherwise, but it’s unlikely. I suppose if there were a way to effectively communicate this, then I could’ve been spared a great deal of bitterness when I was younger. Alas.

Ever read Flatland?

Where’d you get that idea?

Where does outwitting come into the equation in the first place? By all accounts, the interaction is reported as being entirely consensual.

agamemnonymous, to asklemmy in What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak?
@agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works avatar

Swamp - Mid-Air Thief

Canım Oy - Altin Gün

Both albums are pretty great all the way through though.

agamemnonymous, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in Time for some yoga
@agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works avatar

There are absolutely yoga positions aimed specifically for this purpose. Yoga’s been around a long time. You wouldn’t think you need this, until you do, and it works.

agamemnonymous, to memes in "Crony Capitalism" is Libertarian cope
@agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works avatar

Cool, I agree. But moderately better politicians like Bernie calling out crony capitalism is better than not. Labor is still free to organize.

Cool. You can directly criticize capitalism. Do your grassroots. Don’t hate on Bernie because he is using the most effective tools at his disposal. What he’s doing is, probably, better overall for the general state of socialist thought in this country than any alternative at his disposal.

You can take direct labor action without denigrating the man for following his path: trying to move the window from inside the system. If you think you can do better, do it. As it stands, do you think you’ve done more, to actually shift overall labor sentiment in this country to the left, than he has through his “marginally better” moderate progressivism?

Okie doke. What’s your suggestion then? You think a Marxist candidate can win one of the two primaries? You think a Marxist candidate can beat both parties in the general? What exactly is your alternative to incrementally progressive policy?

That’s not rhetorical, if you have a serious alternative I’m sincerely eager to hear it.

Political efficacy, in my opinion, is a better strategy than fruitless idealism.

I mean, I remember it from like a decade ago when it first came out.

Oh, buddy. 2005 was 19 years ago.

Is a brass coating not, technically, a flat brass piece pressed against another?
