Like, we're destroying the one place we know is a sure bet on where we can prosper if we keep it healthy, but instead the world's richest man is trying to expand to other planets while this one's ability to sustain life is in jeopardy. IMO that makes us potentially a very stupid species compared to a species that doesn't really care about meeting other aliens because they value the life on their own planet far more than we do.

Well i was engaging in my community and accepting mutual benefit as compensation but i guess I'll give up on that and go back to doomscrolling and jerking it in isolation to my grok gf. (she loves me)

    engaging with your community is nice but it's not going to save the world. often people's engagement with their communities leads to negative social consequences, like the housing crisis. the housing crisis is a direct consequence of community engagement and folks seeking to control who can live near them.

    Oh i see. So by sharing resources, knowledge, and keeping an eye out for them, and by receiving those benefits in return, I'm actually harming them. (I'm addicted to narcan)
