I have some bad news about the status of the afterlife.

Oh I assure you Timmy once you grow up you'll appreciate friction ;) ;)

Maybe I went to bad schools, maybe my country has a dysfunctional education system, but I suspect the matter is widespread because it's way easier to teach factual information rather than dive into the nuances of how confident we are about our explanations.

Some reductive examples: Pluto is / is not a planet, wings work because the path air takes is longer than on the other side, the cause for this war was xyz, you can't subtract below 0 (that's at a very early age of course), this philosopher thought X.

Oh I guess a CRUCIAL one is how most teachers are horribly unfit to answer "Why should I care about this?", but that's beside the point, in a way.

You broke nothing, it just annoys me that if you don't hit university they refuse to teach you the unconfortable truth on plenty of things and you come out of school with a biased idea that everything has been explained already (history, math, physics...).

So the generic "particles just rubs" in the texbooks were lies and they didn't know shit?

0 effort and yet alive.

Death being the most boring shit I can possibly imagine is pretty high on the list.

No. Once I went in the forest near my home when I was on the brick of failing my year of study in college (a big deal where I'm from it would set me back a year of life basically and in my circle would have been very hard especially to my parents).

As I grew older, for light stuff I'd gravitate toward videogames and for heavier stuff I'd just be stuck in bed doomscrolling.

2 years ago this investigation into its working was released (abusive working conditions), I think it may be relevant...

Cool stuff, I'll start using "ecocide" in the wild. Or rather, on concrete.
