@tosensei sad to think like that. I think it's reproduction. That's why first world countries are the biggest idiots ever since we're declining. We're so far of nature. We're too stupid to reproduce. We're worse than a panda
-
@retoor "I think it's reproduction" THAT is very sad to think; that your own life has no meaning except pumping out new, equally meaningless lifes.
(especially since, on a bigger level, "everybody reproducing as much as they can" is couterproductive to survival. because, you know, overpopulation is a thing.)
but please explain what's so sad about viewing life as "here you have it, do whatever you want with it" contrary to it being laden with some "meaning"? -
@tosensei you're too far lost. If we don't have meaning in life we do strange things - like bring proud on our hair. If you can be proud on that - imagine a kid. You'll get more spiritual when older I guess. This really sounds like student talk
-
@retoor "You'll get more spiritual when older" - well, some people get smarter instead.
-
@tosensei you're cute. Keep ignoring magic like new souls being born. Believe everything is explainable. Boring. Do you know every pastor (in the stroopwafel empire) has a PhD? It's not about being smart. Even wheelchairdude let the option of God open.
You're just too German to function. I can help you with this -
Back on topic: React is stupid and it uses functions that way because it's old. That's all. And it doesn't have excuse to suck so hard like that by age. ExtJS didn't had the real js classes and was an OOP dream. Very structured. It is so good that after a decade of not using it I can still remember it. Main reason for ExtJS not being more popular because nobody accepted the learning curve within "stupid Javascript". Also - there were huge performance issues depending on browser. Our company had to switch to Chrome because of it. But all js stuff these days has a learning curve higher than ExtJS. ExtJS was to soon. Reason two was that the components had a windows look & feel. Customers don't understand double click in browser. Reason three: hard to style. Reason four: licensing, it was expensive for commercial use. But my point is that react sucks from the base and even being old is not an excuse in this case. OOP for life (Vue or vanilla)

@retoor I opened the official Ext.js demo page and tunak tunak tun started playing 🤨

@retoor we're probably being poisoned, not too stupid to reproduce. too advanced to be allowed agency

@tosensei overpopulation is only a problem if you view all humans as copy paste
in reality evolution exists
which means if you seed an agar with some bacteria culture over and over again for generations eventually you'll get some cool deadly bacterias
sorry, sorry. got carried away.
it means eventually we'll get cat girls. don't you want cat girls? -
@tosensei intelligence without wisdom is insanity and... well, accelerated stupidity
emotions give you fuel
with fuel you can create logic via thought, which is what people refer to as intelligence largely, but can also be understood as "knowledge" because that's what you get out of this activity
and once you apply knowledge it is considered wisdom
so to be intelligent and not wise is to have your head literally full of useless garbage that has absolutely no meaning on your life
it's also an indicator that you try and try as you might, and yet so infrequently does any of it work that you've literally given up in being successful in anything in reality -
doubt isn't freedom
doubt is paralysis
you can use doubt to break existing chains if you find them too constricting though. generally makes a good scientist. you can get closer to truth but it will take longer to be sure of things
idk if world peace is relevant. perhaps people need to fight it out. perhaps we should just remove collateral damage, and otherwise anyone who wants to mutually destroy each other should be free to do so, or whatever
pleasures, greed, beast idk. not been my experience. my Russian mom, when I was a kid getting refeeding syndrome off eating some noodles because she wouldn't feed me sometimes, my mom insulted me saying I was a materialist. for wanting to be able to afford food. so I don't know. it's pretty nice to be able to eat. you can think better. -
@jestdotty I wanted to fight the doubt is freedom thingy too. But for a while your environment didn't accept doubting the vaccine. That's not freedom. Same for not accepting the insane pro Ukraine propoganda, questioning that won't make you popular. The news papers know that they were wrong and just started other subjects. So I actuallii agree with the kiker
Realized what the meaning of life was yesterday.
Because the real meaning of life is yet to be found, there is an interim one — to do everything to help us exist as longer as possible as a species. So spread peace, empathy and forgiveness. If we live long enough to formulate the theory of everything, understand human brain and evolve past/patch our brains to avoid being greedy violent fucks, maybe then we'll find the real meaning. The longer we exist for, the better our chances are.
So, the ideal human according to kiki is:
- one that doubts everything and is free because of that. Freedom is doubt.
- one that has a habit of denying themselves pleasures. Without restraining themselves, one turns into a greedy, violent beast.
- actively contributes to the world peace & spreads peace among their peers, as true impact is immeasurable, and who knows, maybe butterfly effect will turn one “I'm sorry, I was wrong” into avoiding nuclear catastrophe.
There are adversaries that benefit from us bickering and fighting each other. They want to divide us. Let's deny them that. I announce that I won't engage in verbal battles and teardowns anymore.
Sometimes, static typing is beneficial. Sometimes, unit tests are necessary. JS, CSS and web platform as a whole are not perfect. JS is not perfect. Apple does anti-consumer stuff. Not all rich people deserve hate. Sass has its uses. Tailwind CSS has its uses. React has its uses.
Peace
