I'm confused, what is this new lower bound specifically?
- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 2 weeks ago:
Boundaries are deeply tied to one's worldview, values, and understanding of human nature. If you reject the idea of a higher power or divine authority, you must still grapple with the question of why boundaries are important and how to justify them.
If not God or a higher power, then what is the ultimate source of value and authority for setting boundaries? Is it simply a matter of personal preference, cultural norms, or social contracts?
If you rely solely on human reason, empathy, and self-interest, you will struggle to establish a consistent moral framework for setting boundaries. For example:
- Why should you prioritize your own needs and desires over others'?
- How can you justify saying "no" to someone who is making a legitimate request?
- What is the basis for your moral obligation to respect others' boundaries?
Ultimately, your views on boundaries will depend on how you answer these deeper questions.
In this sense, It seems looking to believe in boundaries without faith (or a deeper philosophical commitment) is indeed doomed to fail, not because faith is required, but because our understanding of boundaries relies on faith and trust.
I know it's not a good answer to the question, but Hopefully my deconstruction helps

If the concern is legit, wouldn't it be an ethical practice to not support services that use the problematic TLD?

Holy God I didn't expect the admin of lemmy.zip to chime in.😊 I'm very appreciative of your work, please don't see this as FUD or shade-throwing. I'm just trying to understand and improve my general security practices as best I can.

Well put. Your explanation has me most confident I should avoid lemmy.zip communities for the time being--thx
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Should .zip communities be avoided for this potential confusion or no?
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Excellent explanation. So with this knowledge, should .zip sublemmy/communities be avoided as well or is this excessive for some reason?

- Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over 4 weeks ago:
I'm not fully disagreeing with you, but blaming past generations is quite precisely how the boomers goofed as severely as they did. They played the blame game to the same tune we are currently, the only difference is they didn't LARP and play pretend about it as shallowly as we do. If we want to be truly better we must first ensure that we don't become exactly like the selfish demons we must vanquish. Otherwise evil persists merely in a different form.
It's got to stop here with us--we are the last generation, all of us. Identifying core issues is critical--but the secrets of the Egyptians were secrets even to themselves.

Strange to make a gender distinction here. I know people love their categories, but I'm curious to know how your outlook focused on gender rather than other characteristics like race or nationality

- Comment on Substack prompted a Nazi blog again 1 month ago:
I almost fully agree
Idk about 'should' just out of paranoia that I can imagine a case where criticizing without sufficient contrast or a consistent-enough background of otherness, could potentially have unintended consequences or surprisingly negative overall moral impacts
Or maybe just paranoid idek - Comment on Substack prompted a Nazi blog again 1 month ago:

For me this was philosophy which is the opposite of convenient or helpful especially in our current era. It led to me consistently blundering my way forward but it serving as an initial point is the critical lesson to be learned, I think. - Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico? 1 month ago:

You have impressed me yet again tho--if you ever seriously engage with Marx's inspirations, please return with how your views changed on this very core Hegel quote. Until then, I hope you find peace:D

It's a sloppy rework of a Hegel quote--you have my most favorite lemmy comment prole:
I really love the beauty of a prole calling a hegel quote the dumbest thing ever in any context.But if you wanted a serious answer, yes--Doesn't any modern worthwhile philosopher have to engage with Hegel's thought in some dimension?

I 100% believe you about your hardships--I don't deny the truth of any of your very real and serious struggles.
I've only encountered a single trans person irl, and it was a pretty bad experience for me because I was their assigned supervisor that ended up being the one having to deal with a lot of hormonal mood-swings during and after the transition wreaking havoc on team morale. I could let this one bad experience permanently tilt my outlook in much the same way you have with your unfortunate job/boss experiences. It would be emotionally easy and arguably reasonable to do so, but I refuse because I believe staying open-minded is critically important to growth and development.I never said I didn't believe you, I just believe that evil exists only in the eyes that see evil everywhere.
