- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 11 hours ago:
No, no one has ever done this :P
Japanese can be difficult to native english speakers from what I hear but I don’t personally have experience enough with the language to tell you.
Generally I would say learning an entire language for the sake of consuming a specific media, especially a language not widely spoken outside of its country of origin, is a waste of time yes. At the very least, it is not usually motivating enough to get you to stick to learning that language long term.
However, I don’t mean to discourage you. Language learning is still fun and teaches you a lot about its culture of origin and their values. In my experience language learning apps like duolingo (especially duolingo these days) are not the way to go. Buy some textbooks, there are tons of japanese language learning youtubers who can point you to good ones, then go on some chat sites and practice what you are learning. Don’t just watch anime, listen to japanese music too, try to pick out what they are saying as you listen.

In all industries the workers is eventually alienated from the process of production through specialization. They need not know the process of manufacture or how the machine functions. They must only know their part in it.

I’m incredibly partial to the Franky Mermaid scene. If you haven’t already watched it stoned to the point of immobility with a few friends, do so as soon as possible. Brendan Steere is a master of absurdist humor.

The links are the TLDR imo
- Comment on How does the Chinese government even work 2 weeks ago:
Okay so you and a lot of people on .world aren’t probably going to like this because I am using an explicitly communist source, worse an explicitly communist wiki but I have read a good chunk of the source material here and don’t feel like rewriting all of it when I can just link it. Anyway here are some links that should be informative if you want to understand the philosophies that guide the CPC and the structure of its state.
Socialism With Chinese Characteristics
I ask you to be curious. Investigate the claims you see here, look at the sources used and judge them for yourself. I know you are not likely to be receptive to the communist perspective, most people are not and I am not trying to make you a communist through this. Its just that communists put a lot of time and effort into critically understanding other communists and their projects. Its a lot to investigate, don’t expect to read or understand it all in one night. Good luck ❤️

- Comment on What’s the actual reason neurodivergent people are sometimes discriminated against or bullied? 3 weeks ago:
Have you ever thought that maybe those happened because of human nature, and not the other way around?
Yes acually, I believed that most of my life until I started my education in history and anthropology. Through my studies I was exposed to many societies which did not define themselves through exclusionary definitions. Mostly these were small hunter gatherer societies that were not in direct competition with other groups for resources. I’d be more inclined to argue that it is scarcity of resources that originally created the conditions for tribalism as you describe it. If you removed the incentive for tribalism by removing scarcity I do not believe it would have come about but we also wouldn’t have ever formed a sedentary ageicultural society so you win some and you lose some.

Its impossible to know what human nature is. I can define human nature as behaviors inherent to human beings regardless of social influence but we cannot know what these behaviors are.
