What do you mean by population crisis?

In the world it’s the other way around, the demographics are still booming.

You know what came before having better birth control and lower birth rates in most developed countries, medicine and lower death rate. In most of them now both are pretty close (most because there are exceptions like Japan).

I’m not really sure i see a problem with a slight decrease in population in a place where there is already a lot of people.

Well depends what you mean by birth control… is it a way to prevent pregnancy or children?

Since birth is in the name i’d say the term is better suited for referring to anything preventing the birth of a children. But what the term refers to has no barring on what’s happening.

It never meant people don’t make a difference. Any reasonable women knows and feel the difference.

The fact it’s less safe and has worse effects on your health is just another way we realize how serious an abortion is. It will never be inconsequential even if it was safe.

Please do not to trust anyone who says people disagree with this. They all have a political reason to lie.

Ski ba bop ba dop bop I’m a scatcat!

Well China’s gonna take it in 2077 anyway.

Destroying a system means there isn’t anything in place and also that you weaken the power of your own side because you had to go through all the violence needed.

That’s obvious but it also explains why worse system can rise, but also that it’s not always a doomed endeavor. I think the context has a lot to do with what will occurs next.

The best exemple i could give is the French Revolution. It was followed by the worst Napoleonic wars. But its philosophers founded the building block for the republic that’s still in place to this day.

The red revolution against tsarist has brought a lot of positive foundation from which Russian could arguably have builded upon after the war, if not for Gorbachev.

I’m not gonna go to much into any hypothetical but what Lenin created had a real and positive influence in the rest of Europe at least.

At the worst end of the spectrum Iran really had nothing left to build upon, the situation there is catastrophic on all front. So if not for the US the country isn’t gonna stand on its legs any time soon.

I think the evolution of the end of a system, even through those three exemple, can go into so many different path. It’s hard to really predict anything, especially without taking into account all the parameters and context.

With the enshittification Bethesda has already started to go through, it’s a good bet.

To be clear i agree.

I do feel for the Russian people that will suffer Putin’s decisions, but i personally wouldn’t concede one bit of Ukrainian soil to that fucker.

I wish my country was helping. That said, as a French without any skin in the game, let me tell you we don’t even have skin in our own games. (If you followed any news of us you know)

It’s not like any of us are ever being asked what to do. And I do genuinely fear our so called democracies are gonna implode. And when they do, diplomacy with Russia will get bad for everyone.

!

Western Europe getting involved could be so much worse.

Let’s remind ourselves you fight for your country, we on the other hand have nuclear weapons and rising fascism all over…

So in account of humanity thanks for keeping Russia’s shit out.

Isn’t this one from alice in wonderland?

Nourish the overlord

Labour theory of value puts value on goods for the sole purpose of trading and explaining trades. Both LTV and STV does.

Marx’s use of LVT is to criticize how Capitalism leads to exploitation. But although the specifics differ SVT could still be used to raise the same critiques.

Its usefulness never made me disappointed despite this drawback.

I’m a physicist at heart, which might explains it… To me the use in philosophy is just as important, especially in philosophy of science and metaphysics.

Simply put I couldn’t imagine studying how reality works without ever wandering what it is and how to best study it.

In which language do you use them like „this” and not “this”?

Dialectic can never be a science, you can’t apply the same methodology. Even when it’s material.

However it is philosophy, and if your searching for some material reality then it’s ontology.

Science too is a product of ontology, it’s a methodology created for this exact purpose and wich can be studied in this field.

Saying physical properties are social abstractions sounds to me like social constructivism, which is epistemology, again philosophy.

Social sciences can be soft science precisely when they are not dialectic and rely on the methodology of science.

And to be clear, soft science is just a science that is based on a hard science, in which we don’t have enough work done to explain every emergent properties using fundamental properties of matter.

Psychoanalysis is an outdated philosophical theory, so indeed just a scam now.

True and tested.

The best help is probably indirectly having better social policies overall. Although never perfect, the best we are the lesser the problem.

But should it be work?

Should we really have a society where selling your body is an opportunity to make money.

For instance, it imply that some poor women are gonna take it regardless the consequence, just because it’s the best alternative to pay the bills.

I can barely tolerate the physical straining we put on some workers. Sex work’s consequences are unacceptable to me in that same sens, sometimes worse.

So sure, no matter your opinion we should respect them, and not incriminate them!

And of course not all sex work is the same… to be acceptable it just requires better conditions. It can’t be something you choose out of need.

Not that easy if it has a cable.

But also pretty much all of us have phones that cost more than high-end headphones, just as easy to pick out of your hands.

I still get it, don’t mistake my comment for a lack of compassion.

It’s especially true for teenagers that gets bullied because of things like it. (Although probably less of a problem for Karens since it’s a rather outdated name.)

You’d be in the right to be bummed out sure.

But as adults I don’t think you should hold as much importance to it, it’s how to avoid hurting, lightheartedness and humor is the better response.

Someone named Karen making fun of Karens is just perfect, and the jokes for someone named motherfucker would write themselves!

It’s ok you can be named Karen and not be a Karen. Same for Chad or Dick/Dickson.

Words can have multiple meanings, and so do names.

The context of a sentence usually is enough to distinguish, hence no one meant your mom isn’t nice just because we use her name as a insult for other people.
