Personally I find that one far less likely than the idea that life is just so spectacularly unlikely to emerge that there may well be none in our galaxy, at least.
(My heart wants me to believe in the firstborn hypothesis, but my skeptical brain thinks there might be nobody coming after us either, at least in our galaxy.)
The ones I like are less about âOnly humans are this wayâ and more that certain human traits (pack-bond-with-anything, adrenaline junky inclinations and a general helpfullness) couple well with a more human âEff it, we ballâ mindset.
Iâve seen some weird things at the solstice excuse to get drunk up there, but Iâm not sure if itâs because itâs an ancient gate way or drug fumes.
Assuming this is the question of flipping the awkward racism of âmayans could have never built pyramids!â and asking why there are no ancient alien pyramids in France, I hate to inform you that there are people who insist medieval gothic architecture like the notre dame was impossible to make by human hands. Etc etc, implicationsâŠ
Some of my favourites include people who are convinced that the dinosaurs were not real, but dragons were.
On a different note watching Sweet Baby inc get what it deserves along with all the other bastards who have been festering the games industry with their bile. Good riddance.
Iâve seen someone claim that about the Cologne cathedral. A building that only got finished in 1880, where you can google photos documenting construction and that - because itâs sandstone - will never not have someone work on it to keep it standing.
Thereâs a stonemason workshop right next to it. You can visit that and watch them redo parts of the building.
Now responsible for training a colleague. She is probably not going to make it but sheâs managed to grasp how to use a bell to get 5 year olds to pay attention so Iâll put it as a positive peeve. Only took a term.
(Hit bell wait a few seconds say something neutral like âoh it seems we didnât all hear letâs try againâ hit bell again). It all sounds obvious when said but honestly most new people are so overwhelmed by the classroom environment at peak they just go into panic mode. So it be fair to her I am being flippant , sheâll probably be fine in the long run.
How can it be a conspiracy when they openly state that is their mission?? And then get upset when they are brought into the light?
Mind you I consume plenty of rainbow friendly media without any issues. Bg3 probably most notably, but also shows like Dragon Prince.
I donât mind it being in a show or a game. I never have. Nobody ever complained about that.
What I do take issue with is changing original story, characters or plotlines to fit your political agenda or worldview, or sanitize it for people because you believe you can decide what media should people consume and what shouldnât they.
I donât think there is a conscious conspiracy to make video games awful, but there have been conscious efforts by these lobby and consultant organizations to drive forth their own agendas. Quality, experience and original storylines be damned.
