yelling at every cat i see “get a fucking job”
My freeloading orange roommate refuses to pay rent and makes me clean his shit
you go up to a baby like “what is your commercial purpose??? ANSWER ME” nad it’s all goo goo ga gah
That’s a big part of why children and especially babies basically do not exist in Ayn Rand fantasies. There’s some (ableist slur) children in The Fountainhead that are guilty of the crime of existing in a sacred rich asshole building without pulling their weight, but that’s it.
All that said, the Ayn Rand School for Tots is one of my favorite bits from the Simpsons
God that’s disgusting. And even if I were to be as entirely self-serving and utilitarian as this person, we need our ecosystem as stable as possible for our own survival. Do these people think we live in a vacuum?
Do these people think we live in a vacuum?
They believe in a version of the Happiness Monster that requires all the happiness in exchange for more happiness trickling down later, so the Happiness Monsters promise. It’s why a core belief of “Effective Altruists” is that climate collapse and environmental decay are irrelevant because they are looking billions of years into the future, where all those billions of years ahead require in the present is that billionaires get even richer, faster, so they can ostensibly build the robot god.
Commercial purpose is FUCKIN’ POLLINATING YOU ABSOLUTE KNOB
I deeply despise people who flippantly dismiss entire swathes of existence for the sole reason they can’t profit off it. Imagine thinking plant pollination as a concept is best addressed by allowing the destruction of nature and having the tech industry engineer a solution that can be parceled off and sold after deciding it wasn’t profitable enough to prevent the pollinators going extinct.
I have seen the same argument against planting trees too , that tree planting is not profitable and hence it is not a good way to combat global warming ! I mean …
no see we have to financialise forests via carbon tax credits as industrial offsets. this is good for the environment.
Fellas, what is pollination?
