I see. Thanks

Isnt thatvway to much volume for text? I would imagine every book ever written to be judt a few tb. But I also don't know much about the issue

People live in times of historic standstill. Society barely develops in a meaningful and hopeful way. Social relationships stagnate or decline. So they look for a feeling of progress and agency in participation in the market and consuming.

They don't realize this because they aren't materialistic enough, in a sense that they don't analyse their condition as a result of political and cultural configuration of their lives so that real agency seems unavailable

Please don't question this merit-dualism. I need it as my moral compass in these ever-expanding, complicated, almost mystical realms of the markets.

Thanks y'all

Sounds amazing. What is the aproximate cost for all the parts needed?

That sounds good and healthy to me. It's definetly part of any pedagocial role to mitigate the worst. I mean I strongly advocate for hope in the good in kids and teach/allow them to make this world a better place than we managed to so far, responsibility and all kinds of compasses. But surely they are idiots and need to rely on us mitigating that!

Yes, happening. Empathy and morals (which are party sort of systemized empathy) do develop. Needs time and good relationship circumstances though. I'm in outdoor pedagogy and I'm pretty sure kids make a lot of progress with some help here and there.

School as both the no 1 pedagogical field and an institution of selection and disciplination (hello competition, hello human market) isn't a great place to progress in that.

Haha yeah sorry I'm sick and kinda slow rn.

Yeah basically that's what I said but I also tried to describe the rational of being mean and contextualize it in a broader mode of socialization.

This is to not just go "kids are brutal" but add additional understanding, which in turn is meant to help forgiveness (in a sense of reducing hurt) and see the involvement of social order (competition does no good to hoomans).

You know, like the kids are alright but society isn't yet so they aren't. This sucks but doesn't have to forever.

If there is even just a chance that others wouldn't understand, let alone disapprove you associating with kid X, you can accomplish 2 things by ousting them: 1. You get rid of the potential disapproval (wich is mostly just insecurity) 2. You help an ingroup getting rid of unambiguousness, by drawing/strengthening the border to the outgroup, while with the same move placing yourself on the inside.

I work with kids, and so far I think this is the objective rationality behind most or at least many acts of cruel exclusion.

The only long term, non authoritarian solution is the kids developing a moral compass, that makes violent exclusion more important to them than short term insecurity-management and of course beeing less insecure. (Plus the "weird ones" often have fluffin interesting perspectives)

As we can see in comments like "shower more" even many adults didn't recover from the competitive-acceptance-bs other kids/their parents/ this fucked up society gave them.

I wonder what those people claim they keep politics and science seperated. You know, because if you get a lab coat you're immune

"Strawman" - and then you just go with "vegans"... so all? Most? Some? Or maybe just the tiniest percentage? I think you understand for wich ones my argument applies and how "strawman" doesn't, cause numbers. You know, if you pay attention..

Ok lets cut the rhetorics, I was trying to be sincere. I think you might wanna pay some more of that attention (omg sry I stop now) to "dialectic". This does explicitly not mean you can turn the thing around and solely look at the other side.

So of course no change ever happens if all those one persons don't do anything. But they will only change history if they change the underlying structures. To do so, they have to overcome their individualistic constriction and reach collective agency.

You gotta organize. The market won't do, since it is THE form of organization that makes everyone a single player. Both, in their acting and in their consciousness.
