  • Another point is that if all people just act for their own self-interest, they will have a better life themselves, and if everyone does the same, some sort of proper balance will be achieved.

    Hmmm, I don’t know… I think that kind of “balance” you talk about is obtained rather at that middle point between the individual and the collective interest.

    I think we all act to a greater or lesser extent according to our interests, the problem I see is that we have this idea that life is a zero-sum game, where others must fail for one to succeed, that’s where the conflict comes from, because not everyone can win, there are more losers than winners. A cure for this mentality, I believe, is precisely to think about the collective interest understanding it as “what benefits my community also benefits me”, it is to achieve individual benefit through collective work and cooperation, if everyone wins I also win.

    • Not doing something considered for women (like cooking, cleaning, sewing, etc) doesn’t make you more of a man, it makes you more useless.

    • “Separating the art from the author” is mostly an excuse to not feel discomfort or guilt about enjoying a work.

    • Nostalgia is only bad if it leads you to unbridled consumerism. Better to use nostalgia to create new things.

  • OK, now we’re into something…

    It is true that it is problematic for the whole population to intervene even in aspects they do not fully or partially master. It makes more sense for the experts to decide in a democratic way than for the expert to make all the decisions, the former is democratic, maybe limited, but democratic after all; the latter is pure and simple Authoritarianism.

    Still, I advocate that the commons have at least a notion, however basic, that the experts are voting. Ignorance and lack of transparency are the points that make the population easily manipulated, because they think “Why pay attention to this supposed expert who tells me nothing or at best gives me a half-baked complicated explanation? I prefer to listen to the flatearther who does not take me for a fool and gives me easy to understand explanations”.
