Neutered cats roam around 200m-1km around your home if allowed. I will never understand the trend to imprison them (or keeping huskies in city apartments).
Preserving bird population? That's decreasing due to urbanization and climate change. Bees? Same, plus monocultures, plus pesticides, plus likely radio waves.
Aha. Good. This is atheism. But if you read the wiki article you'll notice the first paragraph, that "Hindu atheism" is used to describe atheists, agnostics and non-theists, as well as spiritual belief that rejects the existence of the main god (bot not other shiet).
This is what OP calls atheism
Hinduism is quite sophisticated and you can be atheist / agnostic while still being Hindu ie. believing in concepts like karma, samsara, moksha, and advaita.
Reincarnation belief is not atheism. Karma & Samsara take the place of the deity and judgment of your life deeds according to divine moral compass, it's just that they are not anthropomorphic.
Outside of the US, MOST people who get into politics are at least decently educated. MOST voters prefer intelligent and well-educated candidates.
No. You're romanticizing. From east to west, north to south, all democracies fall to establishment and "families", or "parties" and vote on candidates from those. And then enshittification ensues.
There might be singular exceptions on local level, but every country I checked trends to establishment protecting families (or parties) in power and growing it's own ruling class.
How do you make sure that there aren’t too many ridiculously unqualified people chosen, without outright imposing requirements that could be unfair?
Let's start with admitting that elections don't solve for that. When was the last time you saw someone in power and though "yup, they're an expert and they will make all of our lives better"?
Now if the people were randomly chosen from general populus - that incentivizes highly educated in ethics, morals, well read general population, or you will be ruled by dumb dumbs and your country will make very costly mistakes or implode.
Having said that, your Senate or officials in power don't have to be extra smart. They can hire smart people. The point of sortition is to create a system where wealthy don't rule everyone else and create laws unfair to everyone except current nobility.
Apparently it worked, and it could work again because we're not really being taught that in school. In fact, we're lied that ancient Greeks used elections in their democracy.
If you go to wiki page you'll be linked to multiple pro's and con's, critiques of sortition, critiques of elecotralism etc. if you have time, sink into that instead of asking a random on the internet like me to assay your doubts.
If you were classically educated, you'd know the meme is about Sortition vs Elections (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition). The idea is that you can't have democracy when you have to vote for your representative, because rich families will manipulate the election process. The better solution to pick your Senate would be to randomly select group representatives and have them cooperate.
And that was what Greek philosophers like Aristotle thought ~2300 years ago. Actually all sources we have suggest that Greeks from that era though that elections are undemocratic, and only sortition can provide true democracy.
Seems to be true today when we vote, we pick between turds, and nothing changes for the better. <- and that's what meme is about
Side note: Carlin was right, you get educated only enough to be able to work for your masters.
How many people looking at that meme even knew about ancient Greeks shitting on elections in favour of sortition and went there, instead of thinking "elections bad? You must want to have a king, you authoritarian swine"
Do you still maybe have a link to the post somewhere? I'm curious how's Cuba like, I was wondering if I should maybe go for a trip there or if it's a bad time.
My previous comment should suggest that I look for healthy, natural products.
Impossible burgers is Ultra Processed Foods. Famously even South Park made an episode about it.
Lab grown meat will be the same (because it has to be cheaper than meat to be produced on scale, and because even if it starts healthy it's quality will inevitably go down to make as cheap to produce as possible)
I honestly think that LLM will result in no progress made ever in computer science.
Most past inventions and improvements were made because of necessity of how sucky computers are and how unpleasant it is to work with them (we call it "abstraction layers"). And it was mostly done on company's dime.
Now companies will prefer to produce slop (even more) because it will hope to automate slop production.
