  • Hexbear really had been good for my sanity. Because reddit is super astroturfed on top of being curated to a right wing slant and being right wing as well. Unless you’re an Uber lib you can’t comment on that shit site without getting banned immediately. You can also be an out and out Nazi and you’ll be fine. So I guess there are options lmao. I never used twitter but apparently it’s even worse.




  • I don’t like comparing animals to humans, domestic animals have been selectively bread for centuries for various traits, both physical and psychological.

    Also people have the ability to think and learn that is for all intents and purposes an evolutionary glitch and imho places humas in a totally distinct category from other animals, not on a biological level of course (universal common ancestor and all) but existential one. On a biological any comparisons or analogies between humans of any “race” and animals (say dog breeds) are from a total lack of understanding of biology and genetics. Selective breeding has pushed the phenotypic differences in the dog species to its absolute extremes. So these weird analogies are essentially people saying really stupid things because of completely baseless and unfounded belief. Or they just want to spread propaganda. The sad reality is most people do not have an adequate understanding of a lot of topics that they talk about.

    I’ll edit this in but things like intelligence and personality are simply not based on genetics but consciousness, something we have basically no understanding of. Even neuroscience can somewhat explain the foundation on which consciousness sits but nothing more as of yet. It’s also why “AI” is a fucking joke. We are millenia away from actual AI
