@freemo @LouisIngenthron You do realize you are arguing for anarchy and human cooperation here? Over people having power over others?

Agreeing would mean just that, only talking to each other free of any state or authority could help.

Anarchy as a distilled idea would not have voting. I think you are thinking of libertarianism not anarchy.

Yes I realize I lean most strongly towards libertarianism.

Human cooperation is just a fancy word for democracy, which I also approve.

@freemo @LouisIngenthron Libertarianism is strongly coopted by people trying to earn profit, not cooperate. Democracy is strongly coopted by people that are good at manipulating others.

The question of cooperation is if people can communicate freely. That is currently not the case. You do need to account for manipulation.

And anarchy is a slim slice of the topic, if an important one. It is often coopted by aggressive people, no aggression is ever anarchist. Just an excuse, then. Who works together with no force compelling, that is anarchist. If the force compelling arises, that is when anarchy breaks down and humans revert to their animal selves.

Ideas cant be coopted.. thats like saying "being nice has been coopted by people trying to pretend to be nice by being evil, so you shouldnt proclaim you are nice!"... It makes no sense, you cant coopt ideas, full stop.

@freemo @LouisIngenthron Free speech means torturing turtles!

Now, what did i just do? Would this mean anything if 90% of people would associate torturing turtles with free speach? Is what i just did different from what i described as coopting?

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@admitsWrongIfProven

And if you then say "free speech has been coopted by turtle torturers" would be you perpetuating their agenda.

@LouisIngenthron

admitsWrongIfProven

@freemo @LouisIngenthron Exactly. Speaking lies has an effect.
This effect is working now, any many words are regarded as something else than intended.

Which is why free speech and communication are important. Clear up the lies. They will not go away on their own.

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@admitsWrongIfProven

Of course speaking lies has an effect. Which is why you shouldnt perpetuate those lies and give them power by claiming such lies coopt an ideology. In doing so is what causes those lies to coopt the ideology. By not speaking of it and let it be ignored those ideas dont get spread.

@LouisIngenthron

admitsWrongIfProven

@freemo @LouisIngenthron So you say ignoring lies is more powerful than clearing up what you meant, to specify?

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 replied to admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

No im saying amplifying lies is free advertising for lies, so it causes small lies to snowball into big ones not from the people telling the lies, but from the good people advertising them in a vain attempt to control the narrative, paradoxically allowing the liers to ultimately control the narrative as a result.

What you should do is address the liers at the source, when you hear the lies you call it out to the people lieing and those around. What you dont do is after the fact announce the lies to everyone else, giving those lies exposure and amplifying them.

@freemo @LouisIngenthron You are right in the arena you set, but i was talking about lies that are in circulation for a long time - completely different thing.

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 replied to admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

The effect is just as relevant after they have been in circulation a long time. Afterall the goal is to reverse those lies and seek a state of truth again no matter how far gone it may be... You only do that by dismissing the lies, not amplifying them, and amplifying the truth to restore sanity.

@LouisIngenthron

admitsWrongIfProven replied to 🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@freemo @LouisIngenthron The difference is if it is established, ignoring it will not make it go away anymore. You need to take action or accept it then.

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 replied to admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

Of course it will still make it go away. I mean when the lies started before the first lie the truth was 100% of the narrative. Despite this the lie being told and amplied caused the truth to "go away" (dwindle to a small minority)... So if lies can replace truth that is well established through these mechanisms why then can not the reverse be true? That once the lies dominate truth, if properly amplified, can cause the lies to go away?

Most processes in life are symmetrical, one thing we particularly struggle to understand in psychological contexts but is equally true.

@freemo @LouisIngenthron If what you say was true, there wouls still be a need to establish the counter narrative, thus a need to discuss it.

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 replied to admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

No all you need to do is the exact thing that got the lies established... you scream and yell and talk about the truth, and dont put any attention on the lies... Let the truth be as notable, if not more notable, than the lies... thats all.

@LouisIngenthron

admitsWrongIfProven replied to 🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@freemo @LouisIngenthron If i was able to do that, it would not be a problem - what exactly do you propose to do to make the truth more notable?

admitsWrongIfProven

@freemo @LouisIngenthron Look, all i mean to say is anarchy means people working together. As soon as anyone asserts dominance, it is not anarchy anymore. It's in the definition...

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 replied to admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

No anarchy doesnt mean people working together.. it means the people who want to work together will, the people who want to rape kill and still and cause chaos also will. Anarchy is just capitalism in ideologically pure form (unregulated markets to the extreme) and nothing else.

Libertarianism, which is not anarchy, is the only thing that means working together while allowing the maximum individual freedom.

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 replied to admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

Glad to hear it, and honestly I can probably due to take my own advice on this more as well

@LouisIngenthron

admitsWrongIfProven replied to 🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@freemo @LouisIngenthron We all struggle. It's a good thing.

Only bad thing i see is probably something we would disagree on. People maximizing a number without regard to its significance.

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 replied to admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

No we agree on that. My solution is to create a system where the significance of the number becomes more impactful and known so as to ensure there is strong penalties for anyone who blindly increases the number without understanding its significance

@LouisIngenthron

admitsWrongIfProven replied to 🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@freemo @LouisIngenthron You are not clear on what the number is.

The number i see is money. I think this is misleading and not fulfilling.

One could try to create a number on human fulfillment. I have not seen anyone really try.

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 replied to admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

I was perfectly clear on what the number is and knew before you said it what you meant...

You arent exactly subtle with your opinions dude :) lol

@LouisIngenthron

admitsWrongIfProven replied to 🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@freemo @LouisIngenthron I misht not be sububtle, but you sure are. I still have no idea what number you mean.

It it was money, you would be stupid, as that is what i talked about. You are not stupid, so what is it? Very confused right now.

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 replied to admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

I am not just subtle I am damn cryptic, and that is intentional. Telling people what I think wont do much good... leading people ona journey together where what I think is discovered through question, inquiry, and debate will. The problem is this requires the active contribution of the other party which rarely is the case as most people are looking to win, not explore.

@LouisIngenthron

admitsWrongIfProven replied to 🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@freemo @LouisIngenthron A generally good idea, but i think we lost the plot a bit here ^^

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 replied to admitsWrongIfProven

@admitsWrongIfProven

The idea that there was ever a plot to begin with is the illusion :) The only plot here was to learn something, and I'd say we did that quite nicely.

@freemo @LouisIngenthron It was a nice bout to be had. I searched for trolls on federated, i ended up bouting you directly. Probably better that way, the trolls get boring quickly with their obvious insecurities.

Until another day, it was nice!

admitsWrongIfProven replied to 🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@freemo @LouisIngenthron You are not a boring troll, i will give you that. There is a reason i talk to you, as i suspect there is a reason you talk to me.
