  • Yeah true. The way I see it, the 'we' in this case is a lot bigger than just the US. Anyone who pulls that off will instantly become not just an American hero, but a global hero. "We" is all of humanity.

    Like... in the 1930s, if some Ethiopian dude just popped up from beneath everyone's radar and put a bullet between Hitler's eyes, he'd be a hero everywhere, but especially in Germany.

    And as long as it's been with no results, I don't think there's anyone in the US willing/able to step up, so in light of our (US) spinelessness, we (the entire planet) may be relying on importing those skills from another nation.

    Wishful thinking ofc. If justice, legal or vigilante, was going to happen, it would have by now.

  • That's been my approach with face to face conversations with some of my more right leaning (idiot) coworkers. Never, ever use the word "socialism". It'll scare em off. Describe its components and it's amazing how much of of it they're just on board with cuz it makes sense.

    And that's usually where I leave it... hopefully the seed takes root and they realize on their own later that all these awesome sounding things wrapped up into one package is socialism, but if it comes from me they'll reject it immediately.

  • fwiw, recognizing that something needs to be done, vs having the means to be the one to actually do it are two very different animals. No need to ridicule the former; and if you're the latter then I sure as fuck hope you're not posting about it online.

  • It literally would... Because of the type of blindness they're talking about...

    An article talking about something doesn't make it true. "Because of the type of blindness we're talking about" doesn't explain anything, and that kind of 'trust me bro' blanket pseudo-rationalization doesn't scratch the surface of how we'd be able to understand the perceptions of someone who's preceptive foundation is fundamentally different from our own.

    But keep telling me how that doesn't mesh with the article.

  • I understand the claim, what I'm saying is that it would be difficult to confirm. Not having a visual reference would mean their experience of visual input would be distinct from ours, but concluding that it doesn't happen at all is a stretch.

    As a hypothesis, my guess would be their experience of visual sensation of a hallucination would come as raw input - flashes of light or something.

    The problem would come with asking that person to tell you if they see flashes of light if they've never experienced real light. How their brain re-wired that chunk is a complete mystery to an outside observer. If visual processing is reassigned, it would be to something completely unrelated: like, light perception could now be tied to decision making, with good ideas feeling brighter vs risky ideas feeling dark. Or vice versa.

    But to them, that processing of visual feedback isn't a visual experience, so asking if they've seen flashes of light would be like me asking you if you've ever tasted an ethical dilemma or some other concept: the question wouldn't make sense, and we would have no way to make it make sense without knowing ahead of time that it's tied to decision making. And if it was, a visual hallucination could come as making them feel erroneously confident about a risky behavior simply because the visual cortex is giving the perception of brightness to literally every thought.

    So again, that would be really hard, if not impossible to assess, and claims to have done so would need a lot of evidence to back it up.

  • someone whose never been able to see, can’t experience visual hallucinations, they just can’t.

    That would be really hard to assess. Hallucinations happen in the brain, so even if the eyes were nonfunctional or literally absent, that chunk (occipital lobe) of the brain isn't necessarily just turned off, so it's not a huge leap to conclude that that chunk could still crank out the sensation of sight in some way during a hallucination.

    But without the context of actual sight, that sensation wouldn't carry much meaning, and would probably be really hard for that person to describe.

    Interesting thought!

  • Are those the black bean patties? Cuz those things are fucking delicious. I'm not vegan or vegetarian or anything, I just like tasty food, and you guys have come up with some good stuff! The impossible burgers are pretty decent too - I'd go for one of those over a 'beef' fastfood patty any day (calling those horrid things 'beef' is a stretch right out the gate, but you get gist).
