thetemp<p>I follow Prot's channel mainly for his <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> videos, but he's got some real gems in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> category, and this one really speaks to me. The dude lives his life as he sees fit, which you have to respect. He's made great contributions to the Emacs community, which I suppose is what attracts these kinds of statements. So I guess the criticism is that he isn't trying to get rich? It speaks to the perversion of priorities that's so prevalent in our world. </p><p>link: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ycT8dXVOZY" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=9ycT8dXVOZY</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Epic Lemur<p>“The culprit is a cognitive dynamic called belief polarization. As we interact with our political allies, we are exposed to forces that render us more radical in our beliefs and increasingly hostile to those who do not share them. What’s more, the social environments we inhabit in our day-to-day lives are sorted along partisan lines. We are surrounded by triggers of political extremity and animosity. Thus, our ordinary activities encourage the attitude that democracy is possible only when everyone agrees–a profoundly antidemocratic stance.” <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/Democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Democracy</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.cato.org/events/civic-solitude-why-democracy-needs-distance" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cato.org/events/civic-solitude</span><span class="invisible">-why-democracy-needs-distance</span></a></p>
