Eva Stratt really is one of the most infuriating and compelling characters I have ever seen because she truly interrogates my own personal philosophies and certain truths I hold.
I don't believe in any state's right to kill their citizens.
I don't believe in the death penalty.
I'm pro-abortion in the specific way that stems from a belief no one has the right to another person's body, even if it would save lives.
I mentioned Abby "PhilosophyTube" Thorn's "Abortion and Ben Shapiro" video before, but short version: say, hypothetically, the world's most gifted and important violinist is going to die due to needing a kidney transplant. By some weird fluke of medicine and genetics, your kidney is the only one that will work. There isn't time to find another rare donor. Your sacrifice will save this important, 'valuable' person's life... but you'll be on dialysis daily for the rest of your life.
Believing in absolute autonomy means no one can force you to agree to that. Even if it will result in someone's death, you cannot be compelled to give up your body for a righteous enough cause. In the same way, no one should be compelled to give up their body to a fetus, thus pro-abortion. (The reason you abstract it this way is to side-step the ingrained misogyny of "well you had sex so really this is your fault.")
Anyway. Eva Stratt is a much worse version of this. Grace was asked to sacrifice himself. He said no. She overruled him and in fact was always going to overrule him. The security people with the sedatives were ready to go before Grace even gave his answer. Making it a question was a polite fiction to spare Eva the trouble and trauma.
By doing it, she saves not just Earth but another populated planet altogether.
Grace said no. And he fought. He ran for his life. He was terrified. In the book, he calls it murder. In the film, he's begging them not to do it. In the book, the flashback happens as Grace-in-the-present wonders about how he must've known he could pull this mission off, he volunteered after all!
Then remembers: no he explicitly didn't.
In some way, it works better for me than Omelas. In that parable, the sacrificial child has no concept of why its happening. In PHM, Grace does know, and makes the informed decision to say no, and is overruled.
Does it stop being a fundamental, foundational wrong because it saves Erid and Earth?
How about the fact that Grace lives, does that make it less wrong?
Does the threshold change based on if Grace dies as expected or not?
Was it the only option or if they spent two weeks on the issue would they find a replacement and make up for lost time?
What projected death toll do you have to meet before Eva's decision becomes the Right Thing To Do?
Where do the scales tip?
Did the scales ever actually tip?
Other people may think they did. But for me and the absolutism I (try) to maintain about life and autonomy... I don't think they ever did. But I have to ask myself to really contend with that question.
And in the film, she did all that, and I still feel tremendous sympathy for her.
And that is fucking art.
#for me it's like. it's not about the scales at all.#it was objectively the correct decision and it was still an evil violent thing to do. neither cancels out the other.#and also scores of people *absolutely* died as a direct result of her actions of paving the sahara and nuking antarctica#it's just that we have a face to grace that we don't have for the people in europe who suddenly started getting tornado'ed#and for my secret slightly eviller thought. grace was fine with her making all of those similar decisions right up until they hurt *him*.#he facilitated other specialists getting conscripted on to the project against their wills and went along w the induced natural disasters#so if you want to be evil you could argue that he'd implicitly consented to the idea that she is allowed to override people's autonomy#<- I'm mostly saying this as food for thought than as a representation of what I actually believe. hashtag murder is wrong.#but still yknow. she's never taken the oath to first do no harm. via @annabelle--cane
Dwarves should be born entirely bald and then within the next hour or so grow a beard. Because can you imagine getting amniotic fluid out of a beard on something that is 1.small 2.wriggling 3.screaming.
You're assuming that dwarves are born wet like us.
Ryland Grace living every Outer Wilds player's dream of getting amnesia and getting to experience the game for the first time again.
You didn't ask to be censored, but I don't want anyone else getting hurt or disadvantaged by this dumb, dumb argument that is STILL happening. Either way, you know who you are and you are COMPLETELY RIGHT.

Reblogging this manually. Op doesn't want credit for fear of being terminated.

Good news that we deserve π
for people who canβt watch the video: THE AMYGDALA CHANGES TRADITIONALLY FOUND IN MOTHERS SHOW UP IN ALL PRIMARY CAREGIVERS REGARDLESS OF SEX
Changes in this part of the brain were previously used to previously used to argue that women are the ideal primary caretakers of children in all cases. And apparently, itβs false. The reason they found these changes in women was that women were already the primary caretaker in almost all cases, not because thereβs something inherent to women that makes them better parents.
this is big news for SAHF and single dads!
This is also big news for adoptive parents and queer couples! Many people try to argue that adoptive parents aren't real parents because of biology and blah blah blah. Bigots will also argue this case against queer people. So, to all my traditionalists: it's not science! It's bigotry and sexist!
The first few months of being a parent are a sensitive period.
This is why paid parental leave for all parents regardless of gender is so crucial. All parents need and deserve time to bond with their children. When only one parent is given parental leave, that parent is naturally going to have more time to develop a bond to that child than the parent who immediately goes back to work. This will, inevitably, create a lifelong imbalance in who does most, or all, of the childcare. Equal paid parental leave regardless of gender benefits all parents and all children.
Saw a post listing entirely legitimate annoyances they had with Outer Wilds, and I was like, βomg bestie SO TRUEβ¦ anyway I should replay Outer Wilds.β Some works are so Exactly What They Are that you simply fuck with them or you donβt. Unfortunately the buttery steak of Art You Vibe With is often marbled with the challenging fat texture of Highly Specific Big Swings that sometimes, even as a steak enjoyer, you have to spit discreetly into a napkin before you go back for another big bite.
My pitch for Outer Wilds is basically if you want the rewards of awe, grief, and hope on a cosmic scale, you have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of those fucking platforming sections on the worldβs strictest time limit. Itβs absolutely worth it unless for you itβs not.
Bear religion probably fucking rocks. You're a fucking bear, you're the deadliest thing on earth, once a year an endless supply of salmon just flings itself up the river to gorge on and then you nap for 3 months.
The most delicious food in the world is protected by tiny demons who can defend it from everyone except you. Your natural armor is thick enough that you can just eat the damn hive while they buzz around you. God's chosen animals right there
Regular bears tell stories of angel bears sent by the Bear God, pure white and twice as strong as any normal bear could be, who rule the summit of the Earth and kill all who stand in their path.
And they are right, those bears exist and totally do that. Humans just have fake angels as a cope.
love the idea of bears being the chosen species actually. having a near death experience and glimpsing heaven and realising it's just full of bears, no humans at all, humans not ensouled actually, humans an accidental byproduct of God's plan for bears

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.
I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.
Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.
holy shit this person in the notes
Anyone got that comic about making up a strawman to make a point and then turning around and the strawman is standing there
This one?
Beethoven was an enabler. He made music he couldn't even hear just to force it on everyone else. He should be canceled.
Least Bittern (Ixobrychus exilis). They do this fairly often, straddle reeds as a spot and catch fish and insects without having to fly.
@kedreeva I hope you don't mind me tagging you, but I feel like this is something you would like
I never mind tags! This is awesome!
