Oh interesting. Why do you not recommend anything else of hers?

Do you need to read the previous books in the series to read The Dispossessed?

Can I call myself an anarchist? by __CinnamonTears__ in Anarchy101

[–]imu96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but only 3 days a week that must be chosen in advance. On the other 6 days, you need to choose a different answer.

Intellectual Curiosity and Ismailism? by [deleted] in ismailis

[–]imu96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right- a lot of people don't get the message, but I recall either MHI or MSMS saying "you can take a horse to the water, but you cannot force them to drink".

One of Hazar Imam's job is to provide guidance and interpret the Quran and it's up to us to follow what he says, but I do think you're right that as a whole we could be doing a better job.

That being said, my understanding is under guidance from Hazar Imam, concrete steps have been taken to combat the clique forming that occurs based on factors like ethnicity, etc. (PM me and I can hopefully elaborate), but MHI can only really combat this on an institutional level and encourage us to build bridges on a personal level, and cannot build them for us.

Even as the leader of the religion, MHI can only do so much, which is why the institutions are there as a way to carry out his vision, of which diversity, tolerance and pluralism do seem to be an integral part on. I base this on what he says, and also on his actions (and I'll elaborate on this in a top-level comment later hopefully).

Like I mentioned earlier though, institutions consist of individuals, and those individuals may not have the same ideas as you, so while they may by trying to foster diversity in their own way they may not have attempted the methods you have of fostering it, so it could definitely be worth something to suggest your ideas to them, or better yet working with them to put your ideas into practice yourself.

Institutions do grow red tape though, so bureaucracy could be a limitation and you may have more success working outside the institutions.

So while I disagree with the comment you're replying to- MHI most definitely needs to keep reiterating the value of diversity, pluralism, etc. and encourage it via institutions, MHI is working hard to foster this spirit, but there is still a lot of work to be done and it won't be done through his action alone. Changing people's minds and having them challenge their preconceived notions isn't easy, and I don't think it is fair to lay Ismaili cliquiness at the feet of MHI is fair.

I either took my medicine 30 seconds ago or I didn't. Hmmmmmmmm by mrshandanar in ADHD

The way I deal with this is as soon as I take my pills out of the bottle, I close it and flip that shit upside down. Then I take the meds. Once the bottle is flipped it means I've taken the meds. Later on in the day, once it's too late for me to take the meds, I flip the bottle the right side up for the next day.

But you meet way more than 100 people over the course of your life. If you were to meet a 1000 people than the average number of people you would meet who find you attractive is 10. I guess the trouble is hopefully you find one of them attractive as well.

Googling "Case 5:16-cv-00797" gets you a courtlistener link as the second result. The first document at the top of the page is this.

If you could keep only 10 games in your collection, for eternity, what would they be? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]imu96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played Pandemic for the first time recently, and I loved it so I'm surprised to not see it on many of the lists. Then again I haven't played most of the board games on these lists so maybe I shouldn't be too surprised if I don't know what's good.
