From a public political discussion, today:
Dec 14 14:19:51 <Passpatout> okay.. someone got a topic?
Dec 14 14:20:02 <lakitu> i do.
Dec 14 14:20:04 <sevenless> BillyTheKid: I did not know that. Thank you!
Dec 14 14:20:11 <Passpatout> go for it lakitu
Dec 14 14:20:13 <sevenless> So were Dusenburgs easy to build?
Dec 14 14:20:16 <lakitu> Passpatout: thanks
Dec 14 14:20:48 <lakitu> — i’ve been thinking about cooperation, in all its forms. synergy is the topic i wanted to bring up today – we are more together than apart
Dec 14 14:20:54 <lakitu> we can do more together
Dec 14 14:21:03 * Gauntlet has quit (Quit)
Dec 14 14:21:09 <lakitu> one old example i used to use was of needing a penny –
Dec 14 14:21:15 <lakitu> say in line at a store
Dec 14 14:21:15 <BillyTheKid> no they may be the best car ever built sevenless . and rare hand built maybe 200 over a 8 yr period
Dec 14 14:21:18 <deadbeat> I’m all for that if we can continue to bitch at one another during lunch/cig breaks
Dec 14 14:21:35 <sevenless> BillyTheKid: I’ve heard of them.
Dec 14 14:22:05 <lakitu> if you’re short a penny, you might not be able to get your chicken for tonight’s meal. but with a little effort from someone else . . . a very small, inconsequential effort that we could not do for ourselves, in all practicality,
Dec 14 14:22:05 <sevenless> I thought “it’s a doozy” meant “it’s easy” though
Dec 14 14:22:08 <Passpatout> lakitu.. I think for things to get done you need both the energy of a group and the creative process of the individual
Dec 14 14:22:11 * The_M ([email protected]) has joined #political
Dec 14 14:22:12 <lakitu> i thrive & it’s little loss for you
Dec 14 14:22:27 <BillyTheKid> aurburn cord haqd front wheel drive tech in its autos in the 1920s and 30s
Dec 14 14:22:28 <Passpatout> but we need both
Dec 14 14:22:31 <lakitu> good contrib’ Passpatout
Dec 14 14:22:36 <lakitu> good ‘trib
Dec 14 14:22:43 <lakitu> — we thrive at little cost, is all i was saying there
Dec 14 14:22:54 <lakitu> the stronger we are
(…)
Dec 14 14:23:36 <lakitu> ants are a great example
Dec 14 14:23:39 <lakitu> ant colonies
Dec 14 14:23:51 <Passpatout> makes me think of that commercial lakitu about changing your oil filter.. you could do it for $6.96 (old commercial) or you could have some mechannic doing major things.. and the line was “you can pay me now or pay me later”
Dec 14 14:23:55 <lakitu> other social species. they are inspiring
Dec 14 14:24:04 <lakitu> right
Dec 14 14:24:06 <lakitu> exactly
(…)
Dec 14 14:24:15 <lakitu> something we both know about, Passpatout, actually
Dec 14 14:24:22 <lakitu> exactly passpat
Dec 14 14:24:24 <BillyTheKid> 90% of all brass band instrumments sold in world up to 1960 were produced in elkhart indiana
Dec 14 14:24:26 <lakitu> Passpat*
Dec 14 14:24:38 <Passpatout> its this penny wise and pound foolish thing
Dec 14 14:24:41 <lakitu> nice
Dec 14 14:24:47 <sevenless> Tzara: excellent
Dec 14 14:25:06 <lakitu> even after compassion, empathy, goodness, morality — there is the bare economic betterness, too
Dec 14 14:25:25 <lakitu> for the straggler darwinian– um what are they called?
Dec 14 14:25:38 <Passpatout> it costs less to have an educated and healthy population but the inputs are upfront

Dec 14 14:25:39 * X sets ban on *!*@65.25.107.*
Dec 14 14:25:39 * X has kicked LilyJack from #political ((danie4) permaban)
Dec 14 14:25:39 <lakitu> darwinian something, — oh social darwinist
Dec 14 14:25:51 <Passpatout> I don’t know why
Dec 14 14:25:51 <lakitu> which has a very strict/specific meaning
Dec 14 14:26:00 <lakitu> Passpatout, right
Dec 14 14:26:01 <Passpatout> you’d think it would be obvious
(…)
Dec 14 14:26:49 <Passpatout> I think in some places it is more obvious and you see it in their societies and in their policies
Dec 14 14:27:01 * LionClan ([email protected]) has joined #political
(…)
Dec 14 14:28:20 <lakitu> it just is a higher “self-“– or really ‘social-actualization’
Dec 14 14:28:29 <lakitu> what we’re talking about, too
Dec 14 14:28:44 <lakitu> i know this is a political room, but there is more to life than politics as we both know
Dec 14 14:28:53 <Passpatout> I dunno.. there’s always someone who wrecks it for everyone else
(…)
Dec 14 14:29:25 <lakitu> your point is a solid ‘rockbed’/bedrock for the straggler type, i mentioned (Passpat)
(…)
Dec 14 14:29:33 <lakitu> to fall back on
Dec 14 14:29:56 <lakitu> if they are missing the synergy/compassion/’social-actualization’ point – & in fact it just shows goodness is most expedient.
Thank you!
