  1. That's because ignorance is bliss. Unhappiness comes from losing something or subjectively comparing yourself to others and feeling that loss. When you have nothing to lose, it's naturally not easy to become unhappy (except when you lose the only thing you have - your health or necessities such as heating/food/water).

  2. Unhappiness is part of the design of a modern capitalistic society. In order to make people productive, they must feel unhappy about life and in particular their possessions and be convinced that working harder / competing / producing and consuming more will solve their unhappiness. Without this sort of artificial pressure, humans tend to become lazy and degenerate into a flock of animals... and may become happy in the process, which is not wanted for the sake of "progress".

  3. Moeba Pop Especially sex education. Fewer children = less poverty. You can't blame the poor for many things, but you CAN blame them for having sex / raping each other.

  5. If this factory was so crucial to India's economic development, surely the protesters could have been paid off to relocate or provided other compensation instead of just being shot. Those trying to justify the cancer and the killings by pointing out that they were caused by global politics and NGOs and that it is "just propaganda" to show that a massacre occurred have their heads firmly up their arses. As Priya said, go live there for a while and see how clever you will be about international politics then, dumbasses.

  6. MusicJunkie look it up where? The government's newspaper? How is that supposed to be less biased than Priya?

  7. MusicJunkie Surely there would be at least police footage released of the "rampaging protestors" if they were as violent as you claim - but instead what we see is photos of a few burning vehicles with people marching near them. Go watch some protests in Europe, e.g. Hamburg, Germany to see what real rioting looks like - and nobody is killed during those riots.

  8. Well no, there would still be dumb people and smart people, strong people and weak people, healthy people and sick people, etc. We are not the same and therefore would never be seen as such.

  9. MusicJunkie also look at the victims who were actually shot - some fatty old uncle and woman?.. Does rioters look like that in India? Where's the young masked thugs?

  10. MusicJunkie what is your source of information about the protesters' violence?

  11. S Sehgal Seriously? "Providing jobs" = making slaves of people. What people need is food, shelter and entertainment, not "jobs".

  12. As usual in such cases some high-ranking dude from the military would step in and tighten the screws.

  13. Moeba Pop oh btw, age has nothing to do with it. People don't want jobs, jobs are just a sad necessity to get hold of those resources which other, usually not-really-that-hard-working people already have at their disposal.

  15. "They wear their clothes 3 days straight". Well, I wear my clothes as many days straight as they don't smell or look dirty. Sometimes it takes a month (I do shower daily).

  16. God forbid China becomes the new #1 world bully. People will cry back for the terrible US if that ever happens.

  17. Chasing Enigma You worked hard to make that irrelevant comment. Time to get out and smell the flowers? Can you do a handstand?

  18. Chasing Enigma Sorry to hear that. But you can still practice headstands and do all the flower smelling instead of speculating about nuclear apocalypse.

  19. Chasing Enigma Occupying your mind with mean ideas will inevitably make you meaner, more fearful, more unhappy. Likewise, it will also the same effect on others whose minds are affected by the ideas. If I tell to stand on your head, you can't escape but contemplate it briefly; if I tell you about it every day, it will become a recurrent topic about which you're going to be thinking. This sort of communications is not food for thought; it's poison for thought.

  20. Nothing wrong with porn. Nothing wrong with ASMR. Both things are mostly unrelated. Chinese government and the idea of robbing adult people of their personal freedoms through violent censorship suck big time. Let's hope Chinese people will wake up, or I don't predict a bright future for the world.

  21. I found the remark interesting that you can recognize a ladyboy because they look like they are having "more fun" than normal girls. Maybe that's what comes from sexual freedom - more fun and positive attitude to life. As opposed to the anxieties associated with "normal" gender roles.

  22. There's a lot of Chinese phones being secretly used in North Korea, so yes, most certainly they do. The days of total information isolation, starvation etc. are gone, but apparently most people's perception of NK is based on 20+ years old information and Western propaganda from around that time.

  23. I don't get this girl's reactions. The dude is boring and cringy. Oh well, Japanese.

  26. 杜子垩 Actually no, capitalism is just the idea that accumulating means of production (capital) allows you to produce more / at greater efficiency. It is a morally neutral idea - whether you are good hearted or evil, it makes equal sense. Capitalism as such doesn't prescribe that you should keep increasing your personal wealth or maximize short term profits no matter what - that's just basic human greed.

  27. @tim serious From Adam Smith through Ludwig von Mises to modern economists, it is widely recognized that labor has personal DISUTILITY, that is, given a choice to work or not to work, people would rather not work. Most people who cannot afford to abandon their job are NOT happy with it, and those who are happy with their job are usually those who don't really need it. It is therefore a cynical perversion to picture the creation of (arbitrary) jobs as some great gift for the people brought by the upper classes (aka trickle-down economy). The only reason why people "desire" to have jobs is that they want the benefits, especially money (which represents the utility derived from access to services and goods), but also status/power that (arguably) result from them. To put it another way, people want fruits of labor, not labor. If you are honest, you should offer them more of those fruits, not more of the labor.
