The fact that life has no inherent meaning is my primary motivator to give it meaning. No one decides what I mean except me, and I say I mean something.

That's just what your employer wants you to think so you don't know who's getting paid unfairly.

Nope, it's just inconclusive until there's more data.

And yet the petroleum industry is pushing so hard to brainwash the public to think another Chernobyl is inevitable, even though they can make the very products that can prevent it.

Nuclear is fine, it's only unsafe when people are idiots. Oh wait, actually scratch that, in that case it's not safe. /s

The deaths from both the wars going on in the modern day and infectious diseases like COVID are nowhere near on the scale that they were before, especially in terms of the percent of the world population killed by them. We haven't had deaths on the scale of WWI or the Spanish Flu since those events.

That being said, even among people who survived childhood, living to the ages we see nowadays was more rare than it is today due to a lot of environmental and societal factors like plagues and war. It wasn't unheard of, but that is also something that brought the average down to an extent.

What a stimulating meme.

 

What's a common "fact" that's spread around that's actually not true and pisses you off that too many people believe it?

 

What's a thought pattern that's way too common and damaging to society?
