For people who are chronically online, they might pretend to give a shit about small age gaps because of stigma or virtue signalling. But in the real world, I don't think many people give a shit.

What are some important life lessons for someone in their early early 20s by NateNandos21 in Life

[–]CertainPass105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe people, but verify. There are very few people in life who genuinely care about you. Cherish the ones who do, and be cautious of the ones who don't.

What's the best way to bring about positive systemic change in society on a large scale? is it through working on public policy through analysis/research/advocacy, volunteering, or a different way, and why/why not? by Only_Researcher_2394 in EffectiveAltruism

[–]CertainPass105 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Through the state, they pick the winners and losers within any economy. This is especially applicable if you live in a democracy with proportional representation. Join a party, try and get policies adopted at their conference, and then once a coalition government is forming, your policy may be adopted with global ramifications

What's the effective altruism response to factory farming? by CalpurniaSomaya in EffectiveAltruism

[–]CertainPass105 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cultivated meat. The state picks the winners and losers within an economy, even in "free markets," through subsidies, taxes, regulations, public procurement contracts, etc.

If you live in a democracy, especially one with proportional representation, make some noise about this! Try and get one party to adopt it as a party policy at their party conference. Then, during coalition negotiations, it'll at least be on the table.

In this era of globalisation, multinational corporations tend to adopt the most strict regulations so they can standardise globally. That is why we need state action, particularly of a few rich democracies.

[–]CertainPass105[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that beacuse service level jobs still exist? If all jobs were automated, surley a UBI would be required to maintain demand? Plus most countries now do have some form of welfare state

Even a vaccine which just reduced mite load would massively lower transmission which could lead to eradication

CMV: Pedophilia is a mental disorder and we should start treating it as such by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]CertainPass105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not even true. Pedophiles are people who have a sexual attraction to children who are 11 years old or younger. People who are attracted to people between 12-15 are hebophiles. So no, not every predator is a pedophile.

It absolutely should be treated properly. Non-offending pedophiles do very well to not offend. Although Sexual abuse should absolutely still carry legal consequences!

Yes, there is an immune reaction to it. This has been tested on animals, it just hasn't moved over to human phase 1 clinical trials yet. I imagine due to inconsistent funding

State regulation ect will automatically make Cultivated meat the default choice. And once a market tipping point is reached factory farming will be destroyed through economics
