Class warfare taking a childish form
Racism or class warfare: which is more accurate? I've noticed in many conversations that racism is just nonsense and class warfare. For example, during an Algeria match, there was a blonde girl wearing the Algerian team kit. Looking at the comments, some people were boasting and saying, 'Look, we are white, not black.' Racism is just a very childish class conflict of 'We are white and more beautiful' versus 'No, we are black and more beautiful.' This is the exact same nonsense and bullying you see among children. It's like seeing a group of kids who only hang out with the best-looking ones, while the 'ugly' kid is not allowed to join and gets bullied for their appearance. This is the exact same racism found on the internet: just immature, childish people who repeat the same childhood behaviors just to feel like they belong to a superior class. Racism is simply a childish class struggle Racism as a Childish Class Struggle - Seeking Safety in Belonging: As you mentioned, children bully those who are different to ensure they remain within the "strongest" or "most beautiful" group. On the internet, many adults do the exact same thing. Using race or skin color to demean others is an immature attempt to feel an illusory sense of superiority and to belong to a class perceived as "better." - The Intersection of Race and Class: Historically, certain skin colors and appearances were linked to wealth and power (the upper class), while other appearances were associated with hard labor or slavery (the lower class). Therefore, when someone boasts about their appearance or color, they are subconsciously trying to claim belonging to a higher social class, making racism, in many cases, just a mask for class struggle. - Superficiality of Thinking: The comments you read regarding football matches or similar events truly reflect superficiality and childishness. It is merely the venting of an inferiority complex by attacking someone else's appearance, which is the easiest weapon an immature mind can use.

Uh are the bullet points AI responses to your points (lol)?
Alaska Vlog
This is pretty generic but I like to travel, specifically cruising. Recently, my channel has done very well and that also includes a lot more money. I don't go out to eat and always cook my food. The one luxury I value with no compromises is the experiences that money can buy. Watch my Alaska vlog.

Loved how you were able to appreciate the cruise for what it was versus the other young people that wasted their money, not by taking the wrong cruise, but by constantly being negative and refusing to change their perspective. Hope you get to 30k views to see a part 2!

a logical sequence
i thought up something and wanted to hear what you guys thought. it goes: the society is imperfect but what can we do about it? i believe our power to change lies in the choices humanity makes do people make choices that make society more suitable place? i don't believe so and i believe on of the main reasons is because of societies current structure. society rewards certain behaviors and these behaviors aren't always making society more perfect. shouldn't humanity aim to achieve perfection?

@Anna Issota Total side note but I literally just learned about Kintsugi today from reading The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin (lol). He used it, similarly to the overall question of perfection, to state that the ā€œfaultsā€ of the cracked work that are then gone over with gold actually elevate the work. He connected this to the work of an artist and the difficulties in life he endures. Every artist/creative person has a sort of baggage that they carry on with themselves, but many times people want to almost cover up their issues. This would be the equivalent to cleaning up the broken ceramic to just throw it away. Rubin rejects this idea, stating that the difficulties in life are actually what make the outcome even greater and can be resonated on by more people. Within the concept of creating the perfect system, I think it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. No system can be perfect, nor strive for perfection because humanity is inherently imperfect. If the system of coldly logical and technically always correct, people would still hate the system because it is the humanity, faultiness, and empathy of the system that allow people to accept a power system. I think that is what is happening with AI and art and music right now. Even though the ā€œmusicā€ is getting objectively better, no one likes it because there was no call to action by the creator. There was only a prompt. I think that a more proper government or society needs to focus on knowledge, so that people can make truly educated decisions for themselves and that manipulative pathos and rhetoric does not move so many people as it does now. Society and progress must be based on the data of what can be measured now and faith and flexibility on what is still unknown.
An argument as old as time, Pascal's Wager.
Just because you're born into a religion, or take on a religion's philosophies and your life improves, does not mean that this is the word of god, nor does it mean the religious text can be considered entirely the truth. Your life might improve having taken on e.g hindu philosophies, yet this does not mean you're guaranteed to get into heaven. Choosing your faith is important. Pascal's wager states that in the case of having 2 people, an atheist and a believer in God: the atheist will either just disappear at death, or will burn in hell.Ā The believer will either just disappear at death, or will inherit the gift of heaven. The atheist will have a neutral outcome or a horrible one, meanwhile the believer will have a neutral outcome or a great one. The point of this concept is not to force you to believe in God, it's purpose is providing you one logical reason on why you should consider that there might be a god. If you believe that you were made in god's image with his conscience you should be able to apply skepticism to each religion and decide which one you think has the strongest case. This means looking for and fleshing out clear historical and moral contradictions, you don't need to study the philosophies inside and out for each one, you can get to that once you have good reason to believe a given religion does hold the truth of the universe.

I was grown to be a Catholic, but Pascal’s wager was one of the first signs that I found to strengthen my faith. What I have found whenever I doubt the existence of God, and maybe it’s just me, but I become highly distrustful of the world around me. Since there is no higher order, I feel as though there really is no point to the pain and suffering within the world. I become angry at a world that persists in poor actions, and I become angry at such a pointless existence. With a God, to me, there is at least a reason. There is a higher order to hold on to, no matter how absurd it seems. That is why I think the myth of Sisyphus also hits so hard. You just have to go on knowing that there logical reason to believe in a religion, but it is what somehow brings you joy.
