Hi there, you all.

I just want to say that I'm happy that there's a philosophy community.

Please post your opinions, ideas or observations in here. They are most valuable if they stem from an actual desire for truth.

That said, I'd ask to avoid posting long walls-of-text (if you know what I mean). They are hard-to-read, making engagement less likely. Often, the thoughts in them can be condensed to a waay shorter text anyways.

That said, I believe philosophy is a bit like a distillation process: You take raw ideas and try to purify them to the point where you really just concisely say something. That is the essence of philosophy.

What do you think of it?

maybe we could use this to collect guerilla gardening strategies or something?

The diversification of prepping was clear last weekend at the Survival & Prepper show at the fairgrounds in Boulder County, a liberal district which President Joe Biden won in 2020 by nearly 57 percentage points over Trump. Over 2,700 people paid $10 each to attend the show, organizers said, and attendees were varied.

Bearded white men with closely cropped hair and heavily tattooed arms were there. But so were hippy moms carrying babies in rainbow colored slings and chatting about canning methods, Latino families looking over greenhouses and water filtration systems, and members of the local Mountain View Fire Rescue team, who in 2021 battled a devastating fire in the region, giving CPR demonstrations and encouraging citizens to be more prepared for extreme events.

“People want to regain their agency, their sense of control, and do something to match their fears to their actions,” said Ellis, who underscored that he did not speak on behalf of the Department of Defense.

People motivated by climate change, Ellis said, tend to be homesteaders who grow their own food and move to more “climate proof” locations, such as the mild summer haven of Duluth, Minnesota.

Explanation:
"Game theory", in economics, refers to "how do you maximize your profits?", in a theoretical way. Therefore it is greed theory. It should be called as such. The term "game theory" should be reserved for the study of Zelda, or eggs/sperm cells if one so wants.

ELUVEITIE is a Band from Switzerland. The song is about the Alps from Switzerland.

They are beautiful, I have been there. They definitely deserve this song.
