Yes sure I prove this point. Is that right that division is the problem though or is the way we act?

I'm all for being friendly and tbh I regret the way I expressed my message on that matter. But we cannot continue to say everybody is doing and fine and only a small group is responsible. If division is what it cost to change the whole population so be it. I only refrain division with relatives and coworkers (except of course those that like engaged didcussion). But division inside a nation or in the world is necessary if we hope to change.

Population that are very very similar in opinion it looks to me are the population we find in authoritarian country, not democracies

    In other words: you are so far into left ideology that you absolutely refuse to use the capitalist tools. Boycott is effective of course but the problem is people interested enough in shits companies do are generally the one on the far left with your mentality.

    So those that believe in the effect of "voting with your money" don't use it because, in their ideology, companies are the good guys. And those that don't believe in it don't bother changing because by definition they can't believe it.

    Kind of all my far left friends which are now getting rich and investing in etf of very big companies. The same they despise.

    If only people could get out of ideology, we could have actual solutions

    Every war and genocide has been done by people following a ideology blindly. Religion, communism, racism, conservative does not count toward all these ideologies so I wouldn't say your message is true.

    The difference between progressive and conservative is indeed empathy. But it stop short at who you think the ennemies are. If you are ready to ignore (or of course kill, emprison etc) all people that say they are from an ideology, you are not showing empathy.

    The ideology is extrem. The people following it have different reason and degree of following the ideology. All of them aren't extrem. Just like you have to explain to conservatives that not all x minorities are dangerous and need to be forcibly removed.

    So you're shocked by the term AI but not the term capitalism? Like what is a mean of production? Isn't a computer one? Isn't a phone? If I gain a bit more than what is "necessary for my survival" is that profit and rhus unethical?

    Not strongest examples but lots of these things are very subjective. Ideologies are generally much more subjective but for the reason it doesn't shock us.

    If all of them are pedophile then yes it means being a billionaire means you are pedophile. Hence causation either one way or another.

    Now backward is a bit strong but I agree we should avoid these kind of comments that only make everyone more extrem compared to the more nuanced answered you gave about what we are currently seeing

    Makes sense in chinese setting because it's reknown culturaly and easy to find other practionners. But even with how good it is for most chronic pain, i think the main criteria still is "what physical practice would you be willing to engage in", afterall pretty much anything is better than the 0 activity a lot of patients have.

    Now for people that already do have an activity but still lots of pain, this is very interesting news!
