I agree, internet protocol is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful

So how would anyone benefit from their creativity? I certainly wouldn’t invent anything if I knew some big company could just steal it.

One for the world:

I think dog / cat ownership is immoral. There are huge energy and material costs to supporting those animals.

Cats when allowed outside will decimate ecosystems and are literal invasive species. As for dogs, I can’t help but feel that they’ve have been weaponized into a deniable tool for harassing other people.

One for Lemmy:

I think capitalism can be good. I think in an ideal world where everyone’s needs are met, there will still be a market and people getting ludicrously wealthy. And I think in that ideal world those ludicrously wealthy people can translate that wealth into political power.

This seems insane for those of us trapped in this present, but I think it is good for there to be a mechanism where understanding some reality that is tied to physical phenomena gives people power.

I think large organizations can get by for a very long time inculcating in their members strange philosophies. If the only path to power is by acquiescing to your superiors and parroting dogma, I think that would be bad.

Of course, conditions in the real world look nothing like those in that ideal world.

Edited away: I think dog / cat ownership makes you a bad person.

I thought it was unnecessarily inflammatory and regret choosing that inflammatory language

It’s okay to call stupid people stupid to their face - them, their ideas, whatever it is that they’re doing dumb. In the U.S. we’ve gone too far over on the “tolerate all people and their views” which has allowed fascism and MAGAts to gain far too much power - putting idiots in their place is (or at least would have been) the best way put it back where it belongs.

I believe that intelligence is stupidity in the opposite direction, but not in the way that most think.

Edit: Let me clarify that anything in the extreme is fallacy. Intelligence becomes isolation, wisdom becomes condescension, stupidity becomes ignorance.

Yet most seem to think excess amounts of wisdom and intelligence is tantamount to success and even being just a little bit stupid is something to ridicule. I will die on this hill.

it’s okay to tell billionaires to kill themselves

I wish there was a third option to knock down things that aren’t actually controversial. In threads like this an upvote and a downvote are both an upvote.

unpopular moral take: All religions are absurd cop outs and you should choose your own model for how to be a good person.

Ideally children should be raised by more than two people.

Not disagreeing with you, but isn’t your theory why we have nuclear bombs now?

Zoos suck. Put those animals back where they belong. Or eat them.

ITT: lots of morals that most people (here) agree with. Predictable.

Antinatalism: the belief that the creation of sentient life is morally wrong
