@St_Rev seems like belonging/attention also used to translate into material survival more than it does now, but that's inherently desirable -
@St_Rev superstimulus is distinct from failed/mutated signal -
@sarahdoingthing Failed replacements/sublimations of material survival include 'flourishing' and 'dignity'. Anticoncepts. -
@St_Rev I think "flourishing" is useful but I also think CEV is useful (though the latter mostly as a troll) - flourishing not *that* opaque -
@St_Rev easy to tell when plants are flourishing, you just have to realize that people are glorified plants -
@sarahdoingthing It seems like reifying 'health' as something bearing an essence rather than an absence (of sickness). -
@St_Rev ah - yeah I agree that "health" is a myth, but having a positive concept for what the absence of sickness looks like seems useful -
@St_Rev a lot of people who will die this week are currently flourishing. health is not all. - 2 more replies
