“What’s Something Most People Think Is Healthy Today That Future People Will Shake Their Heads At?” (45 Answers)

The same people that question science are the same people who benefit from science in their everyday lives ... Science, like most things should be questioned, but Facebook research isn't the same as a medical professional whose dedicated their entire life to researching a specific scientific field - such as immunology or infectious diseases...

Much more important: don't dismiss everyone who has a concern as a nonhuman. Openness starves the conspiracy peddler of oxygen and ensures the flow of information for better decisions. For instance: It's not a matter of whether the vaccine is 100.0000% safe. It's a matter of whether the harm is greater than the harm of more common or more severe COVID infections. But when hard data is replaced by anecdotes, outliers and maybe even urban legend, compliance will go DOWN. People, especially in democracies, need confidence that policy-makers are responsive to data, not threatened by it.

Sure, but now you have a second job and no hobby. A job that comes with monetary expectations, sometimes even a schedule, and a pressure to perform. To have one more of that, you sacrificed the thing that allowed you to blow off steam and to recover your mental energies. Whether or not it is a good thing is up to personal choice, to me it was not.

Well said!

Yes. Accept the implied compliment and ignore the advice

Thank you! People are so quick to call things child abuse or indoctrination when it’s really just parents raising their child. Parents have to make decisions for kids to a certain point. It’s a difficult line to walk but it is possible to raise your child in a religion without indoctrinating them. I was raised Christian. I don’t feel I was indoctrinated and when I moved away from my parents my faith grew and changed because I was able to learn from others. My dad is a minister and we have had amazing conversations around faith and religion and he listens to what I say. It makes me sad that the church has ruined this for so many people. Sad to know that some people have had such horrible experiences that they denounced religion altogether.

The issue, by now, in 2022, is that most of us accept that there is no higher being. If we were to wait until people were adults before introducing them to religion, well there would be no religion because critically thinking, normal people would not have been brainwashed from birth. They would not suffer child abuse by being told they are sinners and will burn in hell for eternity. Hell......created by the church in the 1600s to scare people. No, sorry. Religion serves no purpose except to the weak and frightened.

I let my kids know my religious beliefs, answer any questions they have, and let them know that "god" as I understand them is something that speaks to everyone differently. If they want to believe different that is their choice and I support it. I think this is the best way personally

Morals are not the same as religion. Children in irreligious families don't necessarily become immoral adults. And teaching children to be open-minded is basically opposite of indoctrinating them to a certain religion.

Although some religious people claim that you cannot have morals without *their* specific religion, you can teach children morals without it.

The topic is religion, not morals. I think you have confused the two.

Morals are aligned to how you are raised as part of a social structure whether consciously or subconsciously. I don't know why people equate religion to morality when a lot of religious people do amoral things in the name or religion. You can be a moral agnostic/atheist. Common sense doesn't always align to morality either. I'm not sure what this post is meant to say but it's a great grouping of random unrelated concepts and ideologies.

Morals are not hard to teach (getting it to stick will vary per individual). It's the golden rule. Teach empathy and morals come more easily. Failing that, the parent is responsible for being the one disappointed in bad behavior, not some made up all-powerful deity. That's almost like saying, "Well, don't ask me, I didn't make the rules, God did. Blame him."

Amen to that

Even better, stop giving them money. Do not use Amazon, do not buy from Apple and for christ sake, do not get anything from that con-man Musk. (I might reply to replies in a week, I might get downvoted to ban for this)

Nathaniel for prime minister!

How generous of you to think that anyone can “earn” over a billion dollars.

Or put back into the company, at the very least. Marketing, research and development, etc. Like auto-deduction. Like in the 1960's when the top tax bracket was paying 70%-90%. Infrastructure, Moon landings, dams and bridges, education. Gah... /rant.

Only problem with that is that they will find a way round it.

Give them trophies for every billion over 1 they make so they can have bragging rights but no one will really care except for their ego.

A billion? 50million.

They're all parasites, really.

Bernie Sanders was trying to tell us

I'm voting you in as our new president. Although I'm sure you wouldn't want the job! 😆

I'd say 10 billion and we'd still see a drastic change

Because society earned it... how? Careful, neighbor, your greed and envy are showing, and it's incredibly unattractive.

Considering how high some rates are in some countries, I'd say anything over the first billion(since you'd add price of home and cars to that and sometimes that doesn't leave you with much actual spending money to pay bills and emergencies or house maintenance with) would go back as taxes. Rich people will move their taxes elsewhere if the tax rate gets stupid and I cant really blame them because it would seem like they weren't being given a choice. Not all are like that. Some will gladly pay but they do it by choice. No one likes being forced to do something, rich or poor. It's better when they are given the chance to CHOOSE.

Then, what incentive would there be for anyone to attempt anything worth more than $1 million? None. Society and economies would stagnate and thing would be worse than they are.
