The stand is an awesome book with a few dated tropes/language. With that in mind, I recommend it. Some of the characters live rent free in my head.
Edit I’m big dumb and misread your comment
You think a person’s worth is tied to their genes. Pretty yuck. I disagreed and explained how.
For the record I was calling YOU out for linking a person to their genes, just not directly, trying to be courteous to the conversation.
Keep replying now, and you’re just slapfighting. Not worth it. I said in the last comment our positions are well known and the conversation is functionally concluded.
It’s a bad gene. It’s literally the contextually appropriate description of a factor involved in a situation.
Sorry it hurts your feelings
We’ve both made our points and opinions known here.
Why would there be communal ownership of personal goods? The stuff is alexi 's
I mean if it’s a damaged or failed it’s a bad gene. It caused ms!
It’s not shitting on a person, it’s discussing a condition.
I can understand that discussion can lead to eugenics style thoughts.
“Oh that person has tons of bad genes, they therefore are bad”. That’s wrong though, a person can have a super fucked up body but it doesn’t change their value or goodness.
When discussing a condition, the genes that improve or cause that condition can be described as good or bad.
Context matters.
Weird almost duplicate replies
Yes but those in the coops have their own possessions. Certainly if you try to take away something as basic as the food they intend to eat themselves they are going to have limits.
A co op for managing the profits and work of a business makes great sense. But even hard core communists want their own pants and shoes and would be reluctant to give away thier own needs.
Obviously a deal communes drive towards is provide based on your ability, be provided to based on your needs.
I think the meme pushes on the perception of the individual of their “needs” (real or hypothetical)
Edit the point is the meme is all about personal possessions, to use the keywords of the replies.
It’s an article about curing baldness, all context is pre determined.
Like sure, if we’re just bringing anything up, why care about baldness when I can’t breathe underwater, or if I can’t raise the dead?
He is not rich. He is well off at best (as I said, at the very end of a prestigious career). Other people are just very very poor. But the gap between him and the poor is tiny compared to the gap between him and musk and co
He ain’t rich. He’s experienced, the top of his industry and at the end of his career. He’s accrued decent wealth given those life details but frankly it’s TINY for how he clearly could have spent his life.
He’s not rich, he’s successful and at the finish line.
He’s a pedigreed professional at the top of his field at the end of his career. Literally a world class statesmen regardless of if you favor his positions. Why wouldn’t such a person be worth 5-10 mil? He earned his position which can be with a strong salary… For decades. Even tame investments in the whole market would steer him handily towards that worth
That doesn’t even touch on the mountain of social good and enrichment and support of the poor that he has directly contributed to over his career
I read the waaaay in his voice
But that’s just moving the goalpost, so to speak. You’ve just built a different parenting framework that requires you to stick around. You’re still hunting the same goal: self sufficient offspring
(Not negging you)
If the topic is undesired head hair loss, “bad” appropriately describes the genes that may contribute to that. The discussion is limited by the context to avoiding hair loss, it isn’t a universal conversation on cosmetics
It’s just laying on the stomach
Strap in, the brand is coming your way
It obviously isn’t true, but if their statement was consistent, they would be happy to ensure that if it meant the country was better off 🙄
Bringing that public bathroom floor vibe to the living room. Noice.
