I'm just going to... put some stuff here. Yeah. Reasoning's seasoning and shall be added later if i ever get to it.
math class is stupid and boring and icky. montessori would be nice
subjectivism is yummy
communism!
and ofc, woke is good
Smart — makes knowledge an identity thing, but really, anyone can learn anything
Fault (not the geology definition, silly) — generally not very productive
Attitude/talking back — fallacy
huzz/getting girls — usually atl a lil heteronormative and reductive
Just the way it is — fallacy
Deserve — generally not productive
It's just an opinion — fallacy
Punishments— especially those given to the entire class for something only one person did — punishment is a form of control and shouldn't be in school
Grades — don't work and are capitalistic
Tests — because grades, also kinda don't work
The decision of school subjects — capitalism? school is so icky why do we have this system it's
making learning yucky
Memorization
The constant fear of not doing something right — also more general
Locker rooms/bathrooms (their usual quality)
The Why game is a really good 1-player game. At the very least, it asks good questions. After all, if you don't have a good reason to do something, it can be beneficial to just... stop doing it.
But sometimes, you get to a weird place where you question why and may not have a very good answer. Why follow your morals? If you don't, bad will happen. Why do you not want bad to happen? Because of the very nature of it being bad. And what makes something bad?
Here we have something very, very subjective. What makes something bad for you may not be something bad for someone else. A good thing, though, is to know the answer to this question. Try it right now, if you haven't already. What do you want? Not specifically. In general, what makes something good?
To me, what makes something good is... well... 🤷. I hold the opinion that there is no objective truth, and I think all answers are equally viable. Most people however (I think?), like happiness and therefore I try to bring more happinness to more people. This is, of course, ill-defined, but it's good enough so that I can use it like an axiom along with the information I know to make a logical arguement for my decisions. Regardless of what your answer to the question is, it's important to follow it. Your goal should be to do good, and everything else should be secondary. After all, if something else were more important, that would be the definition of good instead. And, knowing this, base your decisions on evidence such as feelings and data and this 'axiom' in order to do things that are... well... good!
You can't know anything for sure, really, because anything you know is based on your brain, which isn't perfect and can hallucinate. You can't really know anything for sure. Logic is the only thing that's really true. In fact, it's kinda fun to see what ppl even mean by reality itself. yummers :3
To me, communism is really just more democracy. Since people generally know what they like, the best way to make more people more happy is to ask them. This can be done through a vote. Ideally, this vote would make more people more happy because it takes into account what people want. This is better than capitalism because capitalism is less democratic. Why have less democracy when you could have more democracy?
Atheism doesn't love me back. It's cold and heartless, compared to like, christianity or hinduism. It doesn't give me hope, or a purpose, or a community really. Especially purpose and hope, since there's nobody to hold my hand and tell me what I should do or that they'll always be watching. It's kinda lonely, really, because it asserts that there really is nothing beyond just, this. But I love it for that, because it's freeing and better when you get to choose what to think and you don't just have to listen to some imaginary being. When you don't have a goal focused on attaining something in particular, you can't lose hope because it's always relative and you can always keep doing. You can't really lose hope if you never had it in the first place. While hope was really good for me when I was really small, what pushes me now isn't really that, but rather determination. I don't try because I think I can get something, I try just because (see utilitarianism paragraph above)! That's why it's appealing to me, personally, but you may not want these things. You may not want to sacrifice believing for freedom or a more accurate view of the world. It's a tradeoff, you get something you give something. Me, personally, though, I like the freedom.
Some people talk about combatting climate change by saying that even if everyone can only take a small step, together we can take a big step. Even if the action you take right now is relatively small, it can add up to a big change. Similarly, people stress the value of discipline, saying that even if each step you take one day is small, it adds up over the days and can lead to a big change. While I do think it's true that small steps can lead to bg changes in this way, I think it should also be stressed the value of the individual steps. Each ounce of carbon dioxide avoided is just as important as the last, and taking a small step like avoiding plastic once is another good thing. Even if you don't meet your carbon footprint goals, you'll still be doing something, and it'll still be valueable that you did it. Every day you go withot meat is another contribution to you being vegetarian, even if you fall short of every day. Doing something one more time is another time you did that thing, regardless of if you met your goal. Goals can be good for motivation and hope, but each step you take to getting that goal is also another good thing done. Sure, hope is very powerful (I would know). That you can be truly happy or that you can make a big change or that the future will be good is powerful, but it's a tool to keep you doing what's important: trying, reaching, working, and taking each individual step in order to make more peple more happy. I often get stuck myself with notions of perfection. But even if I don't see another happy moment in my life, I'll keep struggling, because the struggle is not based on hope, but rather determination, and regardless of whether or not I have hope, I am determined.
