these days itās not because people are trying to censor the content from the viewer, but theyāre censoring from the algorithms. they want their content to be seen, and algorithms will demote content when it has profanity. probably not the case on lemmy, but this was a screenshot from somewhere
This is also why youāll see/hear the verb āunaliveā and have people refer to āseggsā.

Iām with you. Censorship is killing my sanity. But hereās the issue.
We already have content restrictions in place to āprotectā under 18s whether theyāre mature enough or not to see porn or gore. Physical and digital media have PEGI, BBFC, etc. ISPs have parental control - the UK has Content Lock. We have parents with personal preferences for their offspringās access.
National or global censorship is useless. In their insatiable quest for power and money the corporations and governments are trying to turn the internet into a childās internet. If these are the lengths theyāre willing to go to, if their intentions were honest, it would surely be easier to let the adults have the freedom of adults and build a second internet for children. Maybe age lock that. Instead of killing everything consenting adults made.
This is equivalent to taking a bar, stripping out the slot machine, alcoholic drinks and erotic dancers, adding a ballpit, replacing live sports with cartoons and still checking ID at the door. Except now they want to swap ID for fingerprints.

Just imagine the change that could go through social media platforms if, instead of censoring their content, users would just share links to platforms which allow them to freely share without unnecessary censorship.
On the other hand Iām a bit scared of what the rich assholes would come up with instead if they canāt work themselves off at the enshitification of reddit et alā¦

Fellow philosophers, I have just concluded a series of rigorous scientific experimentsā¦
Although the death of Pythagoras hinges midway between myth and history, it hung on the weightiness of a mere bean. Whether lima, pinto, or fava was never recorded, but Pythagoras died for that bean. It was a bean which contained within it a new view of the cosmos which would infiltrate the crevices of peopleās beliefs, insinuating itself into the world and persisting for more than a millennium.
[ā¦]
There were many rules to follow if you were to be accepted into the Pythagorean Brotherhood. Fail in any of these and you were likely to be cast out from them with great ceremony. A mock funeral would be performed and you would no longer exist in the minds of the Brotherhood. One rule that could never be broken was the edict to refrain from eating beans. This stemmed partially from the Pythagorean precept that each person should strive for tranquillity and peace, savoring the harmony which mirrored the harmony of the heavens, the outer boundaries of the universe. But eat a plateful of beans and see what this brings you! The gurgling and squeezings of your intestines becomes anything but tranquil. Further, one Pythagorean goal was to purify the body and psyche so that one could return to the sun and rise even beyond the sun to the stars and the Milky Way, for which purification beans were counterproductive. But there was a deeper reason for omitting beans from the diet. It was believed that to eat a bean was akin to eating human flesh.
[ā¦]
Suddenly Pythagoras came to a stop. A vast bean field stretched before him. He stood frozen, uncertain what to do. His eyes focused on a single bean dangling inches from his papyrus- covered feet. So true was he to his ideals that, even at the risk of losing his own life, he was unwilling to trample upon even a single bean. Staring down upon that vibrant bean, the sun low in the sky, he imagined it to be blossoming into a divine ripeness before him. And as he stood there, hesitating, contemplating his next move, his pursuers caught up with him. They lifted their weapons, and bringing the knifes down hard, spilled Pythagorasā blood on the plants ā ending his life for the sake of a bean, and for the deep wisdom immersed in that diminutive cosmic object.

He also died because when he was being chased, he refused to run through a bean field, trampling on the beans.
He used to also lecture by dressing like a girl, and sitting behind a curtain so that only his shadow would appear on the curtain. I love stories of ancient trans people. Yes they also believed in silly things sometimes, but they were just as intelligent and creative as we are. They were human in every way that we are today.

I kind of believe it. I think before monotheism people were much more free and diverse in their thinking. They were more just natural to their own beliefs and human nature. The greeks and Egyptians loved culture. They loved to see about how other humans were living in the world. The most celebrated people in Athens for example were often travellers because everyone wanted to hear their stories from far off lands.
In modern times the culture is extremely strict. Everything from your beliefs to your clothing to who you are supposed to love, is heavily policed by the culture. I think this is the main reason you can hardly find a person anymore that has any original ideas or can think rationally, or see the bigger picture. Our DNA is degenerating.

Fascists are the most degenerate people, Iām not sure how you could possibly take that from my statement unless you literally didnāt read what I wrote.
To make it clearer, Iām saying humanity is degenerating because people are no longer free and our society rewards the wrong things, like conformity, submission to authority, duplicity, selfishness, evil politicians and giant corporations. Your average American today is voting for mass surveillance, millions of cops, and corporate finance of politics and the eraser of citizenship, brainwashing, censorship, disarming the population, giving the rich not only low taxes but access to unlimited nearly free loans that donāt even match inflation, and they still canāt make the economy good. This is what American voters vote for, they are incredibly stupid. In fact Iām going to start telling Americans how stupid they are when I see them for voting for mass surveillance and bot farms and algorithmic brainwashing, horrible economics, complete technology serfdom by having everything in their nation corporatized. I think you should tell them too. I donāt think they realize what they vote for election after election they are too distracted with the extreme fear based politics of the corporate media.
Well, Pythagoras wasnāt so wrong either, all living beeings on Earth are descendants of the first single-celled life that formed at the beginning of the Earth, also beans and humans.
He also believed your soul carries on after death and enters a new body, possibly even an animalās.
The story that he was killed because he refused to run away through a field of beans is probably fake. Thereās a trope of ancient philosophers getting ironic deaths:
Archimedes being killed because he was absorbed in his geometry (he told the attacking soldier ādonāt disturb my circles!ā)
Diogenes was notorious for rejecting social norms and acting dog-like. āCynicā comes from the Greek word for ādogā. He died of food poisoning after eating raw octopus, showing you canāt really live like a dog.
