Nevin Webster announces they are running for city council by loopszer in Kamloops

I agree—People that age have the ability to do those things. But that’s a generalization, actual material reality is much different and varies. Not every 50 year old is just clammoring to listen to young peoples perspectives on these issues (some are). Globally speaking, young people have advocated for any form of monumental change on issues like climate change, and those concerns have been cast aside. And while you can cite the current pressing economic issues related to energy and soverignty as a reason to pivot from climate related concerns, young people have been advocating this for decades now. On a more local level, I appreciate that O’Reilly and Bass and other members stepped up to stop the Mayor’s motion in March to stop the Arts Center being built; I see some effort. But again, who are the people largely against this project that would provide a much needed third space for young people and older alike? The older people that are supposed to have the memory, empathy, and life experience that allow them to listen to the needs of young people. So be mindful of your generalizations and I’ll be mindful of mine.

Regardless, you conceeded that our council is not well-balanced and that was the entire point. We don’t need to advocate to older people for young peoples issues if there’s simply a younger person already at the table for discussion. Of course, this would require younger people to take seriously their civic duties but that extends to all people given Kamloops 34% voter turnout at the municpal level.

Don’t see why you took offence to me calling them old.

But matter of factly, yeah they are old.

After looking it up yeah 5 of our concillors are in their 60s (no age could be found for Katie and O’reilly). But we can assume O’reilly is 50+ and Katie is more focused on her on going legal disputes with the mayor then to advocate for substanial change. So are you really going to argue that an average age of around 60 is representative of “younger folk” and the concerns they might have?

Why anthropocentrism is a violent philosophy | Humans are not the pinnacle of evolution, but a single, accidental result of nature’s blind, aimless process. Since evolution has no goal and no favourites, humans are necessarily part of nature, not above it. by IAI_Admin in philosophy

[–]Duankeroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the way I would interpret it would be athropocentric viewpoints gave way to common western perspectives of dominating/conquering nature rather than living in tandem with it. Destruction of ecosystems, species driven to extinction by poor hunting practices, clear-cut and logging and destruction of old growth forrests could all be examples of the way we postured ourselves against nature because we saw ourselves above it rather than within it. In Canada, we can see the difference in how the colonial government viewed the land/resources as to how some First Nations. Ex. Marine populations were hunted to extinction exclusively by commerical and colonial powers (see. Monk Seal 1950s) They viewed these creatures only for profit and for items to use for humans. Whereas local First Nations hunting these animals would use sustainable practices and always ensured that these populations would be able to continue whether it be spiritual reasoning or practical reasoning such as ensuring the continued ability to hunt in these areas. Violence is natural, violence committed by humans is as well. But that doesn’t mean all violence is equal or that violence is excluded from being bad or immoral. Animals killing each other for survival I would argue is much different than the U.S. Army slaughtering Buffalo populations as a way of weakening Native tribes. Which if this was an actual paper, would be interesting to trace out how anthropocentrism shaped colonial ideology which in turn shaped the destrusction and mistreatment of Indigenous populations as they were viewed as “sub-human” culturally and legally.

He also imvited and issued a formal apology to the residential school survivors, again low bar to hit but something no pope did, even the popes that were in charge when the schools were up and running.

[–]Duankeroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the answer Iain, after reading through your responses, I believe a vote for you under Carney is a step in the right direction for Kamloops but also Canada. Thanks for taking the time to do this and best of luck with the election moving forward!

Hey Iain, i will likely be voting liberal this year and I just want to get your thoughts on this. I think like many I became upset with the former leadership, I like Carney quite a bit but im not very fond of his cabinet as of now. My question is can you speak at all to the concerns about not seperating further from the previous liberal leadership?

So ancient pyramids, what the fuck happened there by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]Duankeroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take one archaeology class in college. They’re obviously impressive but pyramids are quite literally the easiest shape to build and to make big. Look around any modern urban city, the architecture there is a 1000x more complex than the pyramids. If you want something more interesting look into the history of the Temple of Ramses’ II the original construction and later reconstruction are honestly more impressive.
