  • No, as there are no leaders

    In a democracy you give your vote and have no say afterwards.
    In an anarchy people need to work out their social rules together.
    There could also be Anarchist societies with a police force, that ensures the basic democratically created roles of that society are followed - like protecting people from just more muscle who want to rape or steal from them.




  • If I remember that correctly, the brain mostly interacts with itself and only a little part is new “outside” information

    The work we experience is just a construct of our brain and it wouldn’t be stable, if it only relied on external stimuli.
    As for example our eyes don’t really take in a full picture, but only small parts, and the brain uses existing models to adapt to the new inputs.

    So we’re mostly living in our heads anyway.

    Edit: but yeah, without any external inputs, I’m not sure what that model could look like and if it would be functional in any way - although functional always is linked with the physical surroundings and if the expectations are met.
    The only thing, I can think of, is basic logic and math, that wouldn’t require external input



  • Yeah, error reports seem to be some esoteric concept for some people…

    I’m obviously doing the IT stuff for my family (although in the last years, I got out by saying, I’m doing Linux exclusively). So once I got a hysterical call, that the laptop is dead and nothing is working anymore.
    So stupid me rushed over, just to find out that they just couldn’t receive emails, because their provider had a problem.

    In my book, if a laptop is dead, there isn’t anything on the screen anymore - best case some BIOS stuff is happening.

    I started to switch people over to Linux, at least the next generation and my near surroundings, and decline now most things on windows (or smartphones), because I officially haven’t worked with those operating systems since years, and all I do is just searching around and reading things, they could’ve done themselves, if they wouldn’t be too lazy to read.
    I’m all open for people who are lost and need help, but then they mustn’t treat me like a fucking employee. I’m here to help you to solve your problems next time yourself, else my work here has no point.
