just saw the most mind-bending idea

punishment is what we do when we have no other idea how to solve a social problem

@KitRedgrave i've recently started noticing an increasing number of personal problems that i'm not even sure exist

like, laziness seems to just be a label people give others when they're judging them for not having the same priorities as them, or something peeps self-flagellate with when they feel guilty--it's seldom because those people aren't actually doing anything

…and if they aren't, that's called executive dysfunction, which *also* isn't laziness; it's even something that can be treated!

@thingywott you might be interested in the followup post in this thread then :)

@KitRedgrave hee, i'm actually reading that right now!

and you're right, it's an extremely interesting outlook
