It sounds like you’re just needlessly fearful to me. What you’re saying has nothing to do with optimism and trust in the innate good nature of humanity to plod along despite all the shit it throws at itself.
I do get what you’re saying, but the Bystander Effect doesn’t even work at those scales of economy. Not only that but the Bystander Effect is a very learned cultural phenomena. It even mentions as much in the article you linked. Sorry if you didn’t catch my edits ex posto facto since I was sourcing after but I did end up mentioning it in anticipation of that rebuttal when editing lol.
The root difference here isn’t the finer details though. It’s probably going to end up in an agree to disagree sentiment.
I firmly and vehemently deny that trusting in the goodness of humanity to work on and solve issues that many people don’t even think about isn’t rejecting reality.
You believe it is. It’s literally just the difference between a jaded cynic and a hopeful optimist. Behind every jaded cynic there usually was the later. I just hope you get there again and do see the beauty in the world around you and have faith in your fellows while knowing ALMOST EVERYONE is doing their small part. Some much larger than others.
Generally the people who don’t help were never going to anyway. I believe that’s a fools errand that requires far more effort than any benefit gained from it.
Ahhh the Midwest classic of I don’t need recipes I just throw impossibly small amounts of seasoning in despite there being literal pounds of vegetables and ground meat in it.
Don’t forget to cook your venison through with only a little butter so you don’t get sick! A fucking alligator couldn’t bite through that shit.
I’ve always had issues with lentils but my diet is very Midwest American lol. The only time I’ve had good lentils is when they’re masked as much as possible in heavily spiced curries or similar.
Aren’t they already used in a bunch of processed foods as filler?
