I left because they got rid of 3rd party apps, was never banned.

No good deed goes unpunished.

No that’s a squid, not an eel.

I watched it, interesting video and accessible approach to the topic.

I couldn’t help but walk away from the video thinking about how many kids enter STEM/non-social science degrees at college and get to fully fledged adulthood before the realisation that social science is pretty fucking important and touches every aspect of our lives.

I probably have a chip on my shoulder because of how much everyone shits on social science as a low paid/dead end career but it’s upsetting an astrophysicists opinions about social science seems to be taken more seriously than an actual social scientist (this is more based on her previous video about gravity being a social construct but a lot of social science constructs are weaved into the Fermi paradox video as well).

His documentary on assisted dying is a brilliant watch.

I have no doubt there are therapeutic applications for hallucinogens and psychedelics just as much as there are recreational uses for those drugs as well.

My contention is really directed at those who think these are some kind of out of body spiritual hack to “unlock” knowledge.

It smacks of Joe Rogan nonsense.

I really object to this idea that hallucinogens unlock some kind of higher plane of existence that can’t be experienced by people who don’t do these drugs.

If it were true that people who did hallucinogens did gain some kind of additional knowledge why is it they aren’t achieving things at some obviously higher rate?

If you want to use recreational or therapeutic drugs be my guest, just don’t come back telling me you’ve uncovered the secrets to the universe…

One thing I took away from learning more about philosophy was to be unsure of pretty much anything except my own existence.

The idea that there is an objective mind independent reality is a nice idea and neatly fits my worldview but there are compelling arguments for this not to be the case.

I’d only ask what makes you so certain of this “uniform and self-consistent reality” because if you’re relying on your senses to gather information for this fact I regret to inform you that human senses are awfully unreliable.

I swear we are going to be travelling to other planets and the biggest issue is going to be how do we stop water leaking into space from our steam turbines

Sacré Bleu!!!

Now watch as Warren does nothing that stops it from happening.

This definitionally is a meme.

My pet hate is people who say things aren’t memes when they definitionally are.

Screenshots of twitter posts are a meme genre.

You may not like that fact but it’s true.

The scientific content is debatable I’ll give you that.

It appears we have found President Taft’s Lemmy account .

No you’re wrong the eyeball is so complicated the only explanation is a divine being created us!!!

(Im being very sarcastic)

Political Economy is the real economics degree.

Looking back when I was growing up I think the most nefarious thing about books like this is that printing gave a lot of implied legitimacy because it was expensive to print a book.

Speaks to how much money these people had to miseducate people.
