    If you like football and your best friend doesn’t like football, what do you do? You beg your best friend to play football… but if they really don’t like football or it is just a “once in a while thing” what you do? Probably find another friend or group of friends that like football. Your best friend likely stays your best friend but now you are happy, your best friend is not annoyed by you asking playing football and you have new friends

    Of course you don’t hide or lie to your best friend on what you do and when… otherwise they would be (rightfully) upset but if you share and they are mad that you want to have new friends it’s on them to be unreasonable.

    Well here Ethical non monogamy in a nutshell in a context where it is socially acceptable 🤷‍♂️


  • Do you realise that kids before puberty don’t have much difference from biological point of view. Sexual organs are not developed or fully developed and no hormones to speak of.

    The story of Lego you said… cool you can control parents behaviour… what about peer pressure? Or the idea was to control the parents of a whole town (including Cartoons and TV shows)?

    Boys are taught to ignore emotions (“are you crying? Man up!”)

    But emotions is what connects humans (and animals for that matter) and can’t really be ignored anyway

    Join the two… and you get loneliness, frustration, rage.

    We should start a conversation on emotional education (not only for boys but especially for boys)

    As someone you would call “European” there are massive cultural, behavioural and religious differences in Europe.

    Not the differences you imagine like NJ vs California vs Texas, much more

    And you know what? It’s a good thing and nobody wants to change that. After centuries we even stopped having fun at each other.

    Diversity is scientifically and provably good for creativity that in turn is good for everything humans do

    In the case of smoking, you can go to an extreme (Berlin) where people smoke in the clubs (even if it is forbidden) to another extreme (Dublin) that is pretty much like US



  • The chat space is problematic.

    • There are a lot of apps that don’t encrypt at all (e.g. Google chat, discord, etc)
    • There are apps that encrypt but they are subject to jurisdictions that can or may in the future force backdoors (e.g., Chinese apps, possibly telegram, possibly US apps in the future)
    • There are apps that encrypt, are in countries that are privacy focused but are not for free (e.g., threema)

    This contributes to a fragmentation that makes WhatsApp the app that-you-must-have

    Sure it is supposedly encrypted but I would not bet my money that is without back doors
