  • you right they’re not meaningless.
    In the hands of the right demagogue they can be powerful tools for creating and extending stimgatisation and division - and undermining society and weakening the grown-up methods of resolving social stresses.

    Daryl Davis arguably did try to get along with the kkk.
    There might not be many like him and it might be a drop in the ocean, but at least it isn’t no-one who wants to try to do the difficult thing.








  • As i understand it it (somewhere between barely and not at all) the idea is not that It’s “expanding” in the sense of a balloon inflating into the space around it.
    Its more stretching internally.

    So the distance (or time it would take at constant speed) between any 2 points is geting bigger.
    You could maybe also say it’d take more energy to move between the points in a set time.

    There’s probably nothing outside, but the distances inside get longer.

    It’s probably something to go with gravity, momentum and entropy. The actual concept of “distance” between things might not be what we think.

    But all these theories give rise to the concet of large amounts ob unobserved ‘dark’ mattter and evergy, so the actual basis of currently observable fact (i.e. energy / mass) is a small fraction of what is needed for these theories to work.
