Didn’t Fuentes deny it though? Not that I’d put it past him to lie, but I don’t think there’s any hard evidence that Robinson was…

It’s not contradictory. Feelings and actions are not the same thing.

Maybe I really like ice cream (feeling), but it don’t actually want to eat it (action) because I’m worried about something unrelated, like my weight.

Yes, absolutely. Both are possible. Different peoplwith different experiences and tendencies operate differently.

Also, there are lots of different types of love. https://www.ftd.com/blog/types-of-love

Probably about the same as for whether a god exists.

Then I’ll do it. If it doesn’t cost me too much. I can’t see someone else’s perspective really, but I can at least be empathetic…

Yeah, that’s always gotta be true to some extent… If not, then the apology is gonna be insincere anyway. But it doesn’t mean that the regret has to be massive for you for the apology to be valid or useful.

I get that this is a joke, but there’s a good point there too: I don’t give apologies because they were demanded, if give them because I can see that they’d help improve the situation.

Yeah, I’m definitely assuming good faith above. I’m lucky that I’m mostly surrounded by people for whom that assumption makes sense.

Yes… Apologies aren’t about fault for me. They are about recognising other’s suffering, and possibly about acknowledging my contribution to that situation.

The apology isn’t about you, it’s about the other person, and showing you care about them.

Perfect

Is the red line the average, and the green line the difference?

Something to fill time while waiting for the kebab you ordered?

If platforms are providing affordances for abuse and profiting off it, then they are too.

I think it probably starts a long way before a kiss or a touch. At least, I’d hope it does.

Sure, getting arrested is always a risk with civil disobedience. I’ve been to a few corporate and political party office sit-ins. Usually we’ve had one or two people (sometimes hundreds) volunteer to be arrested, and others leave before it gets to that point. How risky that is for the ones leaving early will depend a lot on how the authorities act in your jurisdiction though.

With the monastery example, how do you play it? Just chuck everyone in a room and see what happens? Sequential encounters? Is there a narrative flow, or just basically a mini sandbox?

I wasn’t taking about an individual, I was talking about humans as a species and culture.

No. You can read signs. Like foot prints, or fire scars. Or you can count actually objects before you invent tallying.
