  • There’s something to be said about choosing not to care about some stuff, though. Being constantly contemplating every single crisis in the world and worrying equally about them all will be damaging to your mental health… And these days there are more pressing issues than the moths to me. It’s not that I don’t value them

    It’s not that deep:
    1- In the case of natural evils: C. God causes them, but they are morally neutral from the spiritual perspective. If what matters is salvation and glory to God it doesn’t change anything if you died by tornado or by anything else, and inevitable death might even be a net positive individually and to others (Ind: the person might repent about something, social: seeing the frailness of life leads to less self love, while increasing compassion)
    2- In the case of human caused evils: B with an asterisk. Given that He has imposed upon Himself the restriction of respecting free will, He won’t stop people from doing evil deeds, even though He wants them to do good and He can make them do it. Why God chooses to do it like this is a mistery and doesn’t really matter, but it seems to be because He wants people to freely choose to worship Him.

    In my sector it’s just incompetence. Bosses are under the illusion that being able to see the workers in and out makes them better at managing their hours (false) and that being able to physically reach someone makes the communication more efficient (also false)


  • They also generally come from a place of justified distrust of modern day mass (and sometimes even specialized) media, which makes it harder to reason with them.
    Much of the problem is the false assumption that their dumb internet forums and influencers aren’t being manipulative as well, by different and more ruthless actors… Yeah, dude, the government does shady stuff and manipulates people and narratives, but Andrew Tate telling you to cheat on your wife while exposing your kids to polio isn’t better is it?



  • There’s stuff considered “gay” that differ between western countries, too, or between generations.
    There’s a famous clip of Kobe slapping Steph Curry’s ass as a “nice shot” kind of gesture… That wouldn’t fly in Brazil where I live. Older guys famously walked around naked in locker rooms, too, and as far as I can tell that is mega weird nowadays.
    Can’t forget naked sauna with the boys in northern Europe too
