Did you know that in one generation biology can solve a shitload of problems all on its own, without a single law required being passed by the congress? Fascinating thing, being alive.

I just saw "The Platform" 

I know it is hard to put your thoughts into a coherent movie, but this shit is exactly the artsy pseudo-thinking that shows just how simplified people's thinking can be, when it comes to any, even slightly complex topic.

The premise is simple. There is "enough food for everyone" but people on top eat much more then they need and people underneeth are starwing for 30 days, after which their position is randomized, so the cycle can continue.

While this movie did manage to show some of the raw emotion you would expect from the premise, it did not manage to show any empathy, good faith or any kind of humanity... I get it, that's the point. But from there, it went just down.

Instead of showing any alternatives or a proper way of living in such a world, it showed what I can only call an anthithesis of morality. Instead of figuring out a proper way of redistributing the food, the movie showed two people going from the top down and killing hundreds in order to "heroically" send a message.... ok.

And then the movie changed it's mind. I could spend weeks debating how horrible the last minute twist was, but instead I will explain it completely. This movie had such a philosophical mess of a message, that at the end, the director just said "Fuck it, we'll just make an artsy ending instead".

I do not recommend, unless you have a bottle of alcohol by your hand and are ready for an entertaining dumbsterfire.

@realcaseyrollins yes and no, so maybe? Maybe he's just an edgy kid, but the commentary is often valid in my opinion. A lot of his comics are pretty on mark (some others misses tho')

Also his stuff is edit meme gold, the best part

I don't think Prager U has ever been able to sell me on anything, aside from that blackpill I mean.

@Orakel @meowski @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @Squirrel

Man, I knew a girl who had a kid and was divorced before she hit 23. And it was clear that, yes, this was her attitude.

That fucks up your future hard.

when asked how bad 2020 was, just play this video and say: everyone forgot about this after a week.

@LukeAlmighty @meowski @Squirrel "Your wife's *encouragement* to earn more money for her and the kids"

Gee, I wonder what form that encouragement takes - maybe one extra blowjob a week for every extra 1K earned? Taking over all household and child-rearing chores to free up time and energy for you to work more? However it works, I bet it's uplifting and a source of additional happiness :smug2:
@meowski @LukeAlmighty @Squirrel "We don't put out AND we're probably not physically attractive"

No seriously, the last time I saw someone make this bad of a case for something, Prager U was selling marriage to young men by promising them more work and less time with friends.
