It is the norm for companies in most if not all major stock exchanges. They have to report activities and earnings to stockholders.

Dolphins and killer whales are capable of all the things you describe. So are all great apes. Chimpanzees are capable of genocide. It’s not even human nature. It’s just nature.

Are you familiar with Dunbar’s number? The problem isn’t how people organize, it’s how many people organize. You get groups too big, the human empathy module short circuits and starts ignoring other humans as such…

You know what other animals can organize in large collaborative groups and not fight each other? Ants, bees and mole rats. Eusocial animals.

The problem with eusocial animals is they divide into genetically determined castes… So nature has shown us it’s either small packs or become a drone for the hive, and the problem with small pack is that larger packs destroy them.

I hope you’re right.

haha why not?

Technically, you’d be right though.

But yes, I ignored nuance. Would you like to talk about nuance?

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but that is what I actually think. Like, that’s just what empires do imo. Sharks can be pretty brutal to smaller fish. Empires are brutal to smaller nations. It’s just how it works. Nothing personal, the way I see it. vOv

Yes, I am.

Your democracy is falling apart because of it is an empire in late decadence. Its systems of checks and balances are collapsing.

The world is getting more war friendly because as dominant empires fall apart internally, nations want to do stuff they weren’t allowed to when the big bad empire had more control.

This is all part of the natural life cycle of empires. Best case scenario is they fizzle out with protection from another empire, like Great Britain did. Worst case scenario is really bad.

Expect to see more of this kind of thing in the future. Might be a good time to consider going somewhere else, cause things could get really ugly. These problems are terminal and at this point it doesn’t really matter who gets elected. It’ll keep falling apart. I say this with sadness. My country also got screwed by the USA, but if it hadn’t it would have been some other empire. Such is the life of the small poor nation.

I’m sorry, but I think it’s important to see this for what it is and to adapt.

They’re usually traced through the fly swatter.

Well, I don’t know. Maybe you’re right. You just didn’t offer any acknowledgement of the difficulties OP faced, which didn’t sound like a picnic. People tend to have trouble finding empathy when they’re frustrated, stressed or in any kind of distress really. This and some of the wording in your final paragraph is what gave me that impression.

But yeah, I don’t know what’s best or what you were feeling when you wrote it. You may have a better idea than I do for all I know and you’re free to disregard my comment.

I’m not the advice police or anything. Just someone who thinks compassion helps communities grow healthier and was chipping in.

Either way, have a good week.

I get your frustration with this kind of attitude. I also felt like a reality check was warranted. However, when people are evading or grieving about something, even if being childish, in my experience it’s usually better to validate their feelings first and then compassionately convey the harsh realities that they must face for their own sake and perhaps that of others.

Slapping people with the harsh truths they have trouble dealing with can do wonders for our frustration, but i think it’s not the best approach for those who need some guidance.

An extreme version of this would be the father that yells at his child and tells him he will never amount to anything with this attitude, in frustration, as a response to the kid’s depression. I was this kid.

Conflict tends to create resistance, you know? He was right too, but not a great way to convey his message.

I try to go with the following algorithm for this kind of situation: remind self of importance of compassion -> validate feelings -> convey perspective -> advise

Just my 2 cents. Hope you have a good week.

edit: some clarifications.

You’re not rambling about nothing, and yes, you got dealt shit cards by the croupier of life. Lots of people have it easier in many regards. I can understand your frustration and resistance. You got robbed of your childhood and that sucks.

However, life is unfair and life is relentless and that ain’t changing anytime soon. If you don’t find a job/income source within a reasonable time frame, you’ll be back in a different kind of hell.

I understand you are grieving for your childhood, but sometimes your material situation becomes more urgent than your feelings. How urgent finding a job is depends on your personal finances and security nets available.

I suggest getting a job for your own good. Life is unfair but all we can do is adapt and look out for ourselves and those we care about.

If you play your cards right career-wise, you might be able to dedicate some time to self discovery now or more later on, when you have financial stability.

Good luck to you, friend.

this one saves me a lot of time when addressing complex issues.
