Lord...can this really be what passes for "philosophy" on Steemit?
Briefly, the asymmetry of the minority rule states that a few highly motivated (and intolerant) participants can have a huge impact on society, because the majority of people do not care that much (high on agreeableness).
In your story, you went years without even noticing that you were eating halal. Your only problem with the food was evidently the fact that your Muslim peers were allowed to eat it with you. I'm sorry, but that makes you a fucking asshole.
Exactly why do you feel that society ought to favor assholery over agreeableness?
I know right, how are people upvoting this shit. Do you know any good philosophy posters/ tags on steemit? Also, why is your comment hidden, did the author do that? I think the whole premise of the platform isn't conducive to any meaningful discussion, people will just pander because they are greedy and want money. Anonymity separates the incentive to post stuff that appeals to the lowest denominator and what people really think.
Yeah, the author flagged me instead of responding. Naturally.
I honestly haven't found any decent content at all, but I've only been actively using the platform for a couple of days now. It's crypto, and it's relatively new, so my suspicion is that it's still lousy with the usual suspects: conspiracy theorists, basement trolls, and edgy libertarian teenagers of all ages.
Hopefully it'll grow up quickly. I'll probably stick around regardless. I already do the same shit for free on Reddit.
