I'm not really up to date on EA; I've read the wikipedia articles and a few other think pieces but not any of the fundamental books recommended on the website, so I may be way off base. That said, the problem I have is when EA, a social reform movement, becomes a political movement the outcomes can differ wildly based on who's making the decisions. It's not unreasonable to think that people espousing EA as their dominant philosophy lead us into a Brave New World. Again, this is a surface level take, but I don't know that I'm willing to go all the way down the rabbit hole on this one.

As a tiny, tiny side note: dude is using "miho" to be condescending...is he trying to use "mi hija"? 'Cause, if so, that's fucking hilarious.

As a blacc man whose synapses are trapped innaYTvat, I recommend train-hopping, but only Soul Trains, 'cuz the music is better… Also, for those of us with high plateaus, we rarely experience the struggle for (with?) something that has the potential to have real world consequences and, just as often, we can intellectualize ourselves into inaction. Potential unactualized is itself a vat.

Jesus Christ your comments are like a cipher. LMAO. What do you mean with "high plateaus" and "struggle with/for something that has the potential to have real world conseuquences."?
