Yeah it’s not easy. Societies are often multicultural, and each culture doesn’t restrict individual values or smaller communities within it.
I wouldn’t say it’s just for the powerful, it can be a tool for the people too. The powerful do manipulate it for political reasons but ironically they themselves are mostly amoral.
It’s not just a concept we invented, but also a concept that only apply to us.
So I think the moral universe refers to a morality that would apply to any of us, throughout nations and cultures.
Wich I don’t find particularly far fetched since despite our cultures we do find a lot of common ground in our condition. It’s the basis for human rights for example.
Although I wouldn’t say that cultures shouldn’t have an impact to on morality. There’s definitely a mixture of both…
It’s not supposed to represent waves at different angles.
Rather it represent an axis (the one on the right) for each frequency of waves that is contained in the signal (on the left)
Here the signal is made up of two different frequency waves and the graph on the right is there to show the value of thoses two and their respective magnitudes.
Exact, and I believe most forms of power incentives bad actions and the worse individual to take it.
Wich would entail it comes from our nature, dictating the properties of power.
Good actions done by CEOs or the ones being loyal seems to me is coming from another facet of us.
When people are not brain dead by media, both in the US and EU we know all of our problems comes from our own government and fat CEOs.
Foreigners are just one of the many scapegoats they put the blame on.
What it reminds me of is Greeks and then Romans calling them barbarian, from barbar meaning foreigners. This isn’t new…
The problem always was power and the unfit nature of human beings to possess it.
If Nick Furry was the down talking voice in my head I’d be ok with it.
To be honest it’s not just patriarchy anymore.
Nowadays conservative agenda serves the elite only.
Meanwhile this controlling hurt most mens as well. Pushing them to only value themselves through work, to repress feelings for productivity… all of it makes for more servile workers.
In a universe that expand at an accelerated rate.
Watch out if you keep talking astronomy and i’m gonna ask you out!
The rock ain’t floating, it’s falling with some speed sideways.
And the absurdity of the universe, in wich your biomechanical functions are part of, shouldn’t impact the value we make of us.
Interesting, well I do have a lot to read on the subject but i’ll add it to my list, I might be pleasantly surprised.
It’s a valid point. But if you want to juge the ideas of anyone I think you also need to educate yourself to a degree.
I do think discussion/debate are a good way to learn though. Although a good debate must be anchored in reality, established knowledge and studies…
In the end I think it comes to what are you gonna trust or challenge. In learning I don’t think you can only rely on one, you need a healthy balance.
(I’d say the more you know the easier it is to challenge more often. A new student might trust his teacher often while researchers might always challenge their peers.)
And I don’t think that apply only to economics or politics, although entertainments might be taken less seriously.
Alternatively I believe in politics there is also a part that’s subjective, depending on your values and culture.
That’s a very detailed explanation, as a scientist as much as I knew about him I didn’t know that much.
Although I do wonder why it would matter.
I mean by that, although a great scientist, politics is not is area of expertise. So I wouldn’t put that much importance in his opinions.
Not that you can’t be curious, but valuing it for his fame is a known bias we should avoid.
It’s especially true for intelligence. We tend to put it on a pedestal like it’s what made Einstein, or anyone, be successful. When it’s only a part.
I’d say intelligence is like a good soil, there is still so much labor to make it into food. Einstein did the work in physics but on any other matter your still just eating dirt.
My pleasure.
I’m a amateur bassist, so in the mock rivalry I’d say this is showing how much of the rhythm-section bassists can fill ^^
And we can also do some dope harmony. I love the jokes about how bassist are translators between drummers and guitarists.
Victor Wooten has lessons on YouTube where he does emphasize that a lot.
Yeah, It’s a one time thing they did so it went under the radar of lots of people. Also why I shared it, glad I made you happy <3
So three bassists?
I propose to you one of my fav album, SMV, for Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller & Victor Wooten :

I think my favs are Thunder, Pendulum and Los tres hermanos.
Maybe I should say I’m not in the US. Media literacy isn’t brand new to me. But the CFR was completely foreign (pun intended), there isn’t quite anything like it where I live.
Although the propaganda model of Herman and Chromsky quoted in your link is very much a mirror of our media too. (Most notably in our television network, own by a single group)
If I understood properly that was the point of your sarcastic comment on the CFR right?
I’m out of the loop what’s the council for and why would they want people to think that? What’s in it for them?
I recently had a crush on Juna Serita.
Imo the only thing more attractive than a girl playing the bass is a girl playing funky bass : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K8dNctci1Y
Well I get your point and I do agree with your logic. Your correct about capitalism and our system centered around exploitation for profit.
The reason I generalize is because, although capitalism makes it its center, personal gain and profit still exist nonetheless.
Exploitation isn’t as new as capitalism, peasants under their king for instance was a major part of our history.
To me the more power an individual can get, the more he can serve himself, profit and exploit others. I believe this is the rule rather than the exception.
A lesser power would more easily lead to good actions because other incentives would compete with the smaller profit from your power. Hence why non profit organization are more free from corruption. As it’s true for mayor compared to president for instance.
(This is why democracy is such an appealing concept, it divide power in such a way that no one as enough for corruption to exist.)
P.S. I’m ok with long reply, I hope you’re good with that too…
