Sharing, and believing in, fictions is how distilled units of information are efficiently passed down generations and is one of the bedrocks of our development as a species. This is what allows us to have laws and corporations and agreeing to drive on particular side of the road.

Yuval Noah Harari covers this more eloquently in his book Sapiens. You would definitely dig the relevant chapters.

It’s literally Sapiens, the first book. The chapter is called the Unification of Humankind, from the quick look I had online.

You are more than welcome! The chapter is called Unification of Humankind for anyone else interested, here is a little excerpt:

“Myths and fictions accustomed people, nearly from the moment of birth, to think in certain ways, to behave in accordance with certain standards, to want certain things, and to observe certain rules. They thereby created artificial instincts that enabled millions of strangers to cooperate effectively. This network of artificial instincts is called ‘culture’.”

Share your opinion, get downvoted. Feels just like reddit!

I thought so too, but you and I are not everyone else. Imagine if they removed a mod that included pronouns. I would still be against censorship.

Where do you live, Iran? Also the mod doesn’t impinge on your ability to express yourself. Not sure how that relates to being afraid in a game.

Dude I thought reddit was leftist and then I came here. Funny thing is I’m a pansy lefty European (believe in social healthcare, UBI and all that good stuff) yet this place is a bit much for me.

Yah, how dare someone not be a polarised momo and make me have to assess their pov without a convenient label with which to dismiss it.

Upvotes = correct now? Or I’m wrong cos I have a different opinion to you?

Braindead take

No I do not, no one should. Your comment is the correct way of disagreeing, downvote parades are not.

Bear in mind I don’t give a shit about pronouns or no pronouns, I am against the unilateral censorship of a mod.
