is this neuroscientist just not aware of the word “vestigial”??

evolution does not necessarily work like that

Given that one of the main reasons that cognitive biases persist in modern humans is to protect our ego and sense of self (evolution and natural selection would have gotten rid of them if they served no purpose),

no,

yup https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/issues/1842 is a thing in current Glitch+kibicat

git log --oneline origin/trunk.. |

idk what a good solution to this is but i do think it is the most obvious challenge to the idea of direct voting being the ideal form of democracy

the obvious example to be beyond if you wanted to address problems affecting a numerical minority that is a minoritized population. theoretically their concerns could just get outvoted

i feel like there is something to the idea of the tyranny of the majority and i’m not sure what a satisfactory way of dealing with that problem is

i have a reason to play the new melty blood

i’m happy it seems i didn’t fuck up the merge from current glitch-soc last night because i would like to not work on the instance during labor day lol

anyway this is what we mean by “semantic shift” as, given what commewnism means today for leftists, calling the wobs commies would be ludicrous

marx & engels at one point identified commewnism as a movement of the working class, where the working class is the leading actor of the revolution, as opposed to what they called socialism, which was a movement of the supposedly Enlightened trying to convince the powerful to be nice

funnily enough, going by the definition of commewnism (as opposed to socialism) provided by The Manifesto, the iww is a commewnist movement
