Advice please.
The problem: I'm moving to a caravan at the end of the 260m garden. I have a desktop, running windows 10 and not wifi capable. The house wifi can't reach the bottom of the garden. Can anyone suggest the most cost effective way to connect with the house internet connection, with the minimum effect on bandwidth.

How far into the future do we care? And why?
To paraphrase Greta 'how dare we procrastinate with our children's future'. While we can't predict our future, we can at least mediate potential harm; but we can only do that today, tomorrow is always too late. Sort of... Nothing ever really happens today, well, at least it seems like that; but whatever nothing that does happen, will build tomorrow.

How far into the future do we care? And why?
My duty of care is my lifetime first, which, at some point becomes their lifetime first, but that point can only be today; where-ever we find ourselves in Maslows pyramid's. How many year's = tomorrow?

Why? What have you got to hide... 🤔

Paper about Memory
He means, what do you want to talk about, specifically; IOW which part of your "paper" do you want to discuss? 😉

How far into the future do we care? And why?
I'm a rare case, a tramp with an internet connection; I've had a lot of time to think and sharpen my thoughts with other's... "How far beyond?" Is a question for other's...

How far into the future do we care? And why?
Because I can live today without affecting the climate and what I do today can effect, the other's; I can't know that it will, but I care that it might...

How far into the future do we care? And why?
Today, because if I don't live until tomorrow, how can I be of any use then; other than what I do today. I'm guessing you don't have children, well, at least, not one's you 'now' care about.

Pride vs Humility
There are three types of bias: 1, The bias we want to showcase to society, the bias we're proud of. 2, The bias we want to hide from society, the bias we're ashamed of. 3, The bias we want to ignore, the bias we hide from ourselves. How can you be sure? If you've never faced "the grim reaper" with both lives in the balance and he's asking you to choose. I'm not saying you wouldn't choose your only child; but what if you've got a daughter too? As deep as our honesty will allow.

What makes you think a teacher has no bias?
-
Pride vs Humility
And we're back to bias; a bully ("normal person") has been taught that tough love is a kindness, at one end of the spectrum, while at the other, a bully ("sociopath") has been taught that tough is a way too win. A sociopath can also be taught that kindness is a way to win. There is no manual for how to be a good person, if one ignores a bible or two; but if we start with the premise that, we are all capable of good and bad, and it's the bad that deserves our pity; even when our bias demands retribution.

So, is a bully born or taught?

Aquatic ape hypothesis
Well, you can't swim away...

Aquatic ape hypothesis
What's brain volume got to do with the price of eggs? We can't tell how clever we are compared to our parents, let alone great great/etc. grandparents... The aquatic one can/can't, depending on the fluid??? 🤔 The fact that your average human is more comfortable in a gaseous "fluid" environment, would suggest, to me at least, the aquatic one can't... 😉 We don't have to swim to catch fish...

Pride vs Humility
What makes you think that "a really evil person" can exist? The army of the righteously indignat think they're being ethical, by expressing thier moral supremacy. They're not evil, they've just been taught... wrong...

Aquatic ape hypothesis
I haven't read this thread, so I apologise to those who have made a similar point. Of course our ancestors crawled out of the ocean's, to live in a different version of a fluid ocean and so of course we wouldn't evolutionarily discard a fluidic benefit. Of course it's true, but people swimming is not part of human evolution. 😉

Pride vs Humility
What's your point? I've worked with a lot of autistic people, on all the points of the spectrum and they're all capable of loving another person/people, but not all of them know how to show it to that person/people. As it relates to humility, I'm not sure they recognise its benifit or the problem of pride; it's only really a problem, when the rest of us are jealous of such-and-such because of their imagined successful/better/happier life.

Is a moral free market possible?
I see, thanks. No it's never a free market, they are all subject too the law's and the moral outrage of their culture (the initial conditions). I disagree, within their culture it's fine to profit from the work of the people invested in, but not from the work of money alone. Has Tesco's tried opening a shop in Iran? I have no idea if they have a shop in Iran, but if they have, I bet it was hard work.

Pride vs Humility
I'm not sure how this relates to the post you're quoting? Besides, apathy within our sphere of influence is, I think, just another word for contentment; and within our societal norm's, is desirable. Apathy, when one can positively affect an unjust situation, is deplorable. So apathy is yet another yin-yang of humanity. Every true authority figure would be humble, by definition (because a true leader, leads by example); authority figure does not equal authoritarian.
