Does anyone know of, or can recommend, an online #philosophy #discussion #forum that is not centred on abuse and argument (meaning 'fight')? Friendliness and courtesy is what I seek... Can you help, please? 🙏

"By comparison, street cannabis typically costs £150-£200 per ounce, making it significantly cheaper – making the illicit market not just more accessible for some, but economically rational."

Replying to @carrideen@c18.masto.host
@deathkitten@firetribe.org @carrideen@c18.masto.host I think it comes down to deception, in the name of profit. AIs have proven *SO* expensive that they need some heavy misinformation to make them sound like a good idea. No present-day AI can create, or imagine, or even understand, anything, especially not MEANING. They can only search and precis what's already there in their database. But people think they 'understand', and are 'intelligent', not realising that they're designed to *APPEAR* intelligent...

I've meant for some time to properly check out #Quakers, the Society of Friends. Now a post I read has nudged me into it.

Now I'd like to find Quakers I can learn more from. Just interest — I'm already happy with God, and my relationship with Her. Are there any Friends here?

"Memories are not stored as discrete files. They are distributed across networks of neurons, overlapping, reshaped, and reassembled each time they are recalled. New experiences do not simply add to what is already there – they interact with it, altering both the new and the old."

@loops When people say "over-diagnosis", they refer to what they see and understand as fraud — a cheating diagnosis to obtain "benefits". This, even though such benefits rarely exist! People don't like to see other people given a helping hand; it makes them feel angry that their own taxes are 'misused' in this way... 😢 Humans are horrible people. 🤷

"The Telegraph is inciting hatred of disabled kids, again. The right-wing shit rag published a piece suggesting parents are forcing ADHD diagnoses for benefits. Coincidentally, this comes just as the Department of Health and Social Care has published an interim report into their review on whether the condition is overdiagnosed."

"Late‑diagnosed adults describe finally learning they are autistic as both relief and grief: relief at having a name and community that fit, and grief for all the years spent fighting the unnecessary battles." Yes!!! But not so much "grief" as RESENTMENT, for how unnecessary it all was and is. 😡 https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/positively-different/202603/epistemic-injustice-the-great-gaslighting-of-autistic-lives

The 'therapies' offered to ND folk are to:

- make us less inconvenient or upsetting to NTs.
- make us functional work units and tax-payers.
- reduce or stop the benefits we 'scrounge'.

None of them are to help us with ... anything.

Pam Keith on #BlueSky :

"Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen.

Bar none.

Period.

That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens.

She deserves the Nobel Prize"
