In my opinion scaled is pretty unusable as it just “balances” out the feed with obscure hentai and conspiracy posts with zero comments

Don’t expect the world to reward your good behavior. You will find your own internal motivation, or maybe not. But judging others never ends well. Just focus on your own actions. Nobody says being a good human being is easy…

This is a proper shower thought

Indeed! Hope you had a chance to be nice today too

Absolutely, and I’m happy to hear you see it that way too. Online platforms don’t really incentivize that though. That’s just my lukewarm take on that

Of course there is incentive for online virtue signaling - all the likes and shares and attention.

Ok well maybe there is a very very tiny incentive (compared to real world behaviour) but it really pales in comparison to all the general cold-heartedness

Excuse my phrasing, but I stand by what I wrote. Tried to keep it brief.

Online platforms today do not offer any incentive for true positive behaviour, due to lack of community.

By the way your response and all the downvoting kinda proves my point. Compassion shows also in how you process what you read

I think you missed the point completely. What I meant is people are busy sending thoughts and prayers to war & disaster victims but fail to show true compassion when someone online is going through a difficult time or otherwise misguided

What does it say about me? I don’t think online culture promotes compassion, although I think it’s the main value in human existence

There’s no incentive for showing compassion online, apart from virtue signaling

Well that’s fucking fantastic

Wow, thanks for your thorough clarification!

I do agree somewhat, or at least to the extent that without spirituality the morality concept is weak. Things like compassion and altruism don’t necessarily need spirituality to exist, yet offer vague subjective guidelines for morality.

I’m not sure if I understand the statement properly, but I appreciate the challenge here. Why precursor?

You could try to talk with him to understand the underlying reasons for his will for a life change. It really could be anything. Or if that doesn’t work, seek couples counceling for a couple of sessions.

Not sure if you’re being facetious here
