Dr K: "Most of the suicidal men that I work with - their mind isn't malfunctioning - they genuinely have a life that is no longer worth living"
damn :/
that's not what this says though, it says that public schools are a completely broken and near-dead institution. we're on our way back to a world where wealthy people hire private tutors for their kids and nobody else gets to know anything
yes, if you make your money debating people and belittling them and smugly acting like you know everything in every debate then you do, in fact need to know everything. dude thinks he can debate on Israel Palestine when he doesn't even fucking know who Netanyahu is!!!!
@EscapeSleep
you're saying that this video is affirming of pathology? that's the opposite of what I got out of this. I was saying it's refreshing to see a psychologist admitting that not everything is pathology and sometimes someone's life just sucks because of society and not their brain
what's going on here has nothing to do with growing illiteracy or phone dependency it's just capitalism hollowing out everything for anyone that isn't rich
Americans are regressing even further from 11th century peasant levels of intelligence to that of a literal toddler who can barely speak English and they still think they are as smart as anyone on earth can possibly be. How do you even respond to this sequence of tweets
'In 1972, Chinese premier Zhou Enlai was asked about the impact of the French Revolution. “Too early to say,” he replied.'
I think about this quote/fact like once a week
Even among Marx-friendly economists, the labor theory of value has fallen out of favor. But its technical validity is less important than the core message: workers are exploited because the value they create is undemocratically taken by capitalists.
Holy shit just heard that 20 years ago 50% of HS kids would hang out with friends after school and now that number has dropped to 10, wtf are you guys okay
@TheCitative
We're just aware that sanctions primarily effect the citizens of a country despite all of the manufactured nonsense bullshit claiming otherwise. It's economic warfare against citizenry, and anyone on the left should be against it
also reading Wikipedia can be a useful resource but using it as a primary study tool is grounds for disqualification as any kind of authority on everything, forever.
I love social atomization I love everyone wanting to completely disconnect from everyone else and start their own little fiefdoms I love the total disintegration of the social organism
it's always the woman doing something like a quick slap and then the man throwing out a punch with like 600x the force in a completely disproportionate response
He's literally rejecting the idea that molecular biology can produce anything that you can't produce with your hands on your own. Hell he's rejecting social labor here lmao
The dignity in a man's stomach makes him resistant to slavery. Most revolutionaries throughout history were men. Every successful class struggle has been led by men.
And you wonder why they're trying to destroy masculinity?

It's seriously a problem that nobody can think of anything besides voting, like it's such a wild collective hypnosis we've somehow trapped ourselves in
Thousands of Kurds protest in Paris
The discontent began after yesterday's incident in the city centre when a 69-year-old pensioner shot three Kurdish activists.
The protesters consider the incident a terrorist attack directed against the Kurdish community.

So that's the Ural mountain range, but the part that infuriates me is that if big mountain ranges are supposed to separate continents then why the fuck isn't the Indian subcontinent it's own continent
@BritMartinez
None of these things are because of feminism, theyre because neoliberal economic policy made it impossible for families to survive on single income, forcing housewives into the workplace and making it extremely hard for future men and women to find time for relationships
everyone blames theodore herzl for founding the zionist movement when, he was just the movement's right wing. it also had a pioneered by moses hess (who marx called his 'communist rabbi'). zionism a mistake of a eurocentric left as much as the right and we should confront that
the reason we care about Value is because our human values, like what we qualitatively value as a species, has become inextricably linked with a quantity called price, and that's a distinction worth hanging onto for dear life
this value/price distinction is the funniest because it's so unbelievably meaningless
who cares about this unquantifiable, ethereal "value" of a commodity when i can just look at the actual, numerical price for it
ironically the idea of labor value gives me no real world value
Apparently there's some controversy about whether he thought he was being asked about 1968 as opposed to 1793, but I honestly don't care it's thought provoking even if he didn't realize what he was saying
Hinton quit his job at Google, where he has worked for more than decade, so he can freely speak out about the risks of AI. Part of him now regrets his life’s work. “I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn’t done it, somebody else would have.”
Any percent unemployment is economic hell what the fuck are you talking about? I HATE the casual acceptance of a reserve army. No, its not okay to have any percentage of the population desperate and falling through the cracks at all times for the sake of driving down wage, sorry
