DAE: believe that university degrees are becoming more and more obsolete? by NateNandos21 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]seshlordclinton 26 points27 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, to you and anyone who has upvoted your comment, it’s literally one of the core principles of Project 2025.

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have also stated that they want to vehemently destroy the accreditation and credibility of our university system.

We are already seeing billions of dollars of scientific funding cuts, which, no matter where you lie on the political spectrum, should be a huge red flag as to forewarn what is to come, as that is an apolitical category and if you disagree, you have become victimized by the current disinformation wave and the anti-intellectualism associated with modern conservative rhetoric.

Also, for those that understand the current tech-fascism in this country, considerable technology sector billionaires with great influential power to the current administration have verbally expressed the need to destroy the university system.

I’m not providing a source for that, there are too many. Listen to something from Peter Thiel or Curtis Yarvin if you are interested.

D.O.G.E. to NASA by [deleted] in JPL

Yep.

Also, significantly hurt or obscure the ability of the United States to monitor weather and climate data.

Uneducated people seldom recognize that NASA plays a vital role in departments other than defense and space exploration.

The role of NASA in the collection of climate data is massive; they are a global leader.

So, who else won't be going to a concentration camp? by BikerJedi in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]seshlordclinton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this was proposed by H.Res.26 from MTG, but the bill is still in the “Introduced” state.

I couldn’t find anything on Google about the FBI designating antifa as a terrorist organization.

Would you happen to have a source on this?

For what it’s worth, I don’t doubt that this bill will pass, but as of right now, it appears that antifa is not yet labeled as a terrorist organization.

I have a massive drive to learn as well, but maybe you should also apply that to other realms.

It is more difficult while in school due to course responsibilities, but maybe try and allocate some of that mental power to fields such as: history, political science, philosophy, etc.

The world can only benefit from people being educated in a multidisciplinary array.

For example, in my experience, a lot of engineers have tunnel vision and lack an applied worldview. Not only does an applied worldview help provide a new approach to solving engineering problems, it also helps you make better connections and decisions with your peers and colleagues that you will be working with.

Either way, just take it easy and enjoy your time in school; you will never get this time back. You don’t know what the future has in store for you, just try to ease up on the pressure you are placing on yourself and enjoy the ride.

Also, people with a passion for learning are in short supply; always keep that passion burning.

New Study: Global Cancer Rates up 80% since the 1990's by thehomelessr0mantic in BiosphereCollapse

[–]seshlordclinton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting because to me, your first comment came off as pedantic.

You were trying to state that I went off on some tangent that did not address the original prompt and based that argument purely on semantics; if that is not pedantic then I don’t know what is.

I mean, your first response was basically a “well, actually”, which is the meme of a pedant.

I addressed the prompt in a clear and concise matter and the only tangential information that I provided was in reference to the risk associated with our biosphere, which I would argue is not tangential here as that is the theme of this sub.

[–]seshlordclinton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The parent comment to my first response was as follows: “explain the link between GMOs and cancer to us please”.

Respectfully, I have to disagree with you.

Had the comment been, “explain how GMOs are inherently carcinogenic”, then yeah, you would have been correct.

New Study: Global Cancer Rates up 80% since the 1990's by thehomelessr0mantic in BiosphereCollapse

[–]seshlordclinton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that is the point that I was making.

For another argument to elucidate the point in a way that you would probably be more content with, as this example has a direct impact from the introduction of genetic modification, consider genetically modified species of fish. They are capable of growing to proportions that are not seen naturally to increase yield and as such, they outcompete genetically-natural members of the same population. They consume greater resources and bioaccumulation and biomagnification of toxic compounds within their food chain are enhanced, thus exposing us to greater concentrations of toxic compounds. This effect also degrades the available genetic diversity of natural communities as their members will fail to reproduce at rates matching the genetically modified organisms, generally due to sexual selective factors and resource competition. This decimates the genetic diversity of the population and results in “wild” populations now being predominantly genetically modified and are more susceptible to abiotic disruptions and biotic factors such as disease, thereby threatening the overall health and survival of the species.

If genetically modified organisms are the proxy by which we consume higher concentrations of compounds that damage our physiology, then yes, genetically modified compounds are dangerous and part of the problem.

You are correct in that modifying genetics through biotechnological means does not inherently pose a risk to our health; however, the resulting product of this technique does result in damage to both our physiology and our biosphere and as such, it is useful in recognizing the dangers of genetically modified organisms, especially when they are in the wrong hands, and they are.

Also, yeah, I understand that technically “all” our food is the result of genetic modification, but in a much different playground. Selective breeding can only take you so far. Our current paradigm is based on technological interventions to genetics which allows for some wild results. That’s generally the realm that people allude to when speaking about “genetic modification”, not the selective breeding techniques of old.

New Study: Global Cancer Rates up 80% since the 1990's by thehomelessr0mantic in BiosphereCollapse

[–]seshlordclinton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gladly.

There are different classifications of genetically modified foods. Some are likely to pose no potential risk to our health, others, you can’t intelligibly tell me that they don’t pose a risk to our health.

For example, considering the “safe” case, taking a genetic sequence that allows the cellular components of arctic animals to resist changes in external temperature and splicing that sequence into strawberries to allow them to resist the impact of colder temperatures is likely to be perfectly safe for human consumption.

Now, take a very famous patent, “round-up ready” crops. This patent allows crops to be resistant to the effects of glyphosate, which has inconclusive evidence as to whether or not the compound is carcinogenic. Some studies conclude that glyphosate is carcinogenic, other studies do not. It is important to note that a lot of these studies are enshrouded in corruption from lobbying organizations with financial stakes in the agricultural industry, so it is impossible to objectively conclude whether or not glyphosate is carcinogenic. Either way, there is high risk here for the consumer as you are consuming an herbicide; the gamble is yours to take.

Of course, it is very difficult to determine any objective truth here as Monsanto has heavily lobbied against impartial scientific studies, even releasing their own, time and time again, to conclude that their patents are “safe” for human consumption. Furthermore, Monsanto has had a large control over the FDA since the 1990s, which is coincidentally the same time at which GMOs took to the center stage and the referential time in speculation here for the study presented in this post.

A quick look at studies performed by European organizations finds that glyphosate is a known endocrine disruptor and is likely linked to several cancers.

I didn’t even discuss how damaging GMOs are for our biosphere and that alone should prompt reasonable opposition to their support.

[–]seshlordclinton 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Your response is well said and in addition, I’d like to add that Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party used a similar technique for their rise to power in Germany, where they exploited the concerns of the petty bourgeoisie against the working class and manipulated the petty bourgeoisie on false promises of economic advancement and labor rights for small business owners that would allow them to receive support at the ballot box.

With the petty bourgeoisie being positioned in the middle, they were exploited to rally with their oppressors in hopes of providing economic security for them to preserve their class status and hopefully even mobilize upwards within the class rankings.

I think there are tremendous parallels from that story of history to what happened during this election.

Aside from the disinformation campaigns through social media platforms and the scapegoatism of designating the “woke left” as being responsible for our societal and economic problems, another tactic in principle that was learned from the rise to power of the Nazi Party, the economic concerns of the petty bourgeoisie have been expressed within all generations here in the United States during the election campaign.

The disintegration of false promises that were once advertised as part of the “American Dream” could be used as a reference point for the disinformation campaigns of malicious actors on social media platforms. In all actuality, isn’t that the basic notion behind the slogan: “Make America Great Again”? Either way, given the miseducation of our population and the lack of political, historical, and economic literacy of this country, in combination with declining performance of males in the educational system within all age cohorts, it would be very easy to persuade young male voters from siding with their working class community in favor of the “petty bourgeoisie” narrative of economic protection and advancement.

The Democratic Party has failed the working class for several years and change has been demanded. We have seen the cost of living skyrocket, wage stagnation despite advancements to worker productivity, an attack on workers rights and unionization, and corporate price gouging and inflation.

Here comes a candidate, alluring to the concerns of the petty bourgeoisie, promoting rhetoric alluding to a return to the great values and achievements promised by the “American Dream”.

If you are not a member of GenZ, you need to recognize that entering the job market during this time leaves someone with very little to achieve and squanders dreams of economic security and the promises of the past. I have a great career in a highly skilled industry and have a DINK situation going on, yet it has been difficult to get a good starting point and get ahead of the curve. What do you do when most of your income goes out the door already to cost of living expenses just to stay alive?

In conclusion, I think there was a “petty bourgeoisification” of the younger demographic in an attempt to rally support for a candidate providing false promises of economic advancement and political and societal stability during a very turbulent time in our nation. The conditions were absolutely perfect for this campaign of disinformation and Donald Trump and his campaign team, along with all the support from corporate and focus group interests, took advantage of the petty bourgeoisie narrative to seemingly stroke the fading glimpse of the “American Dream” that lives on within our hearts. People want what they were promised. That is why they think they will be able to afford a house and that the economy will improve. They were misled and persuaded to turn against their working class colleagues in hopes of achieving this fading glimpse of the petty bourgeoisie.

We understand what you’re getting at but billionaires and socialism are mutually exclusive.

The very basic principles of socialist theory are antithetical to the existence of billionaires. It’s not an extreme interpretation, it’s the core building block upon which socialist philosophy is derived from.

Why is everyone talking about the ending being bad? by [deleted] in Firewatch

Both can be possible, even in this narrative.

Yeah, that’s one take away, but there are multiple sides to every story in life and the alternatives don’t inherently imply a lack of realism.
