  • Also, you didn’t choose to share your profession with us. It makes me think that you’re attempting to create a social media presence of your own.

    Either that or I don’t think value is only subjective to what you do for a living. That my opinion is somehow less valuable because I don’t fall into a specific field you perceive as valuable.

    I’m just saying that without those who work in physical reality, creating tangibles with tangible things, make the mental edifices possible.

    And often those non-tangible things help to give those who make the tangible things the willpower to go on. It’s not a one way street, where value is only created by those who create tangible goods and stolen by the intangible. That’s a very pessimistic, if not “holier-than-thou” perspective. As though anyone who doesn’t do what you respect isn’t worth as much as someone who does.

    Like I said, a very boomer attitude.

    It’s still about personal desire over public good, though. That’s my point. Doing something only because it hurts something you care about, rather than because it damages a part of society that doesn’t directly impact you, is killing us. Both metaphorically and physically. Having empathy for people directly in your life is good… but having empathy for those who are little more than a concept in every day life is how society will better itself.

    I would say focusing on personal desires while completely ignoring or acting against the well being of general society is exactly why our society is crumbling. And why so often you’ll see conservatives turning heel when someone they care about turns out to be trans, or gay, or are affected by medieval immigration practices, and so on.

    Is that something from the new shows, or that meme of Kor hugging Jadzia and swapping names?

    Kor isn’t exactly big on acceptance overall, just his friends. He blocked Martok from joining the Klingon officer academy because he didn’t have a prestigious enough lineage. Basically he was too working class.
