Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I believe that bearboiblake is .. almost right.
Transformation requires duration: you can't just spontaneously-transform like those idiotically-naive hollywood/bollywood idiocies program people to believe..
I know that the vast majority of humankind is committed to enforcing ideological-totalitarianism, against objectivity+correct-reasoning.
Therefore the portion of humankind which can survive The Great Filter, this-century, is small, & it'll only survive if it becomes good at surviving overwhelmingly-bad odds, consistently.
The remnant of humankind can be an incredible force for good, next century, .. if there is one.
but there's another error, in there, too: coercive re power.
Is RuleOfJustLaw coercive, against corruption?
Absolutely.
Is RuleOfCorruption coercive against all who value integrity?
Absolutely.
BOTH are coercive, just of different factions.
There is the problem.
Correctness requires force-controlling corruption, exactly as corruption's-rule force-controls/limits correctness.
Neither side is free-from coercion: they only apply it against different subsets of our world.
There is a concept in engineering called the "bathtub curve", in failures-of-a-good-product:
some fail right at the beginning of the product's design-life, then very-few fail, for the design-life, then many fail at the end of it.
The same shape-of-curve, however, is optimal for rights:
Make the extremes illegal, but make as much majority as you can be legal, & keep, through quality-education, people evolving in the right-direction, so their children can have better lives, & their children can do even better, again..
So, civilization's optimization requires that coercion be in-place against treason, butchery-of-the-commons, maliciousness, machiavellianness, etc,
WHILE helping as many have their-own-growing-up, their-own-autonomous-validity, etc..
To be blunter, those who won't control DarkTriad's gaining-control of civilization, help DarkTriad's gaining-control of civilization, even if their making-believing is that everybody inherently isn't DarkTriad: they may be criminally-nonresponsible, in their handing the world to the enemy, but the consequences are the same as if they'd been malicious/machiavellians who were doing it.
Naiveness doesn't exempt one from consequences.
& in the universe, compromise & difficulties always crop-up when one tries implimenting things, because "the devil is in the details".
