I added an agora current events board to contain discussions of political and current events to that category. This was due to a increase support for a separate board for political talk.
The first forum I've ever been in is Agora Road. But recently I decided to use reddit. And I regret it.
People there are SO FUCKING RUDE, IDIOTS AND ANNOYING. It's nothing like you guys. You know, everytime I would post something here on Agora regarding "incel"like topics(don't get me wrong I'M...
It has been the general joke that we live in a strange divergent timeline. Precisely after the 2016 point of divergence, blame it on the US presidential elections with Trump's victory or the moment that bullet went through that one gorilla, the consensus seems to be something happened that year...
Language changes over time, this is the natural course of any living thing, and languages act like they're living beings. So, we can't really stay in the past about this, although it's fun to slide in a few old words like we're Ann-Margret and Elvis Presley in Vegas every now and then.
However...

So, since social media has existed, there have been those who have sought to influence it, but recently it feels insane that so few social media sites and forums with free expression are emerging. There are over four billion internet users, and yet this is one of the last semi rational sites...

I've been waking up for the past few days to air so poor in quality that I can't see beyond a few hundred feet. That lead me to think, are we living in a dystopia? Generally, a dystopia is described as a society in which there is great suffering and injustice. It appears that a some dystopian...
In this post, I will outline my beliefs on reality and why everyone nowadays is depressed to some degree. As my worldviews tend to be pretty neutral, I will offer both a religious and scientific version so that my point come across clearly. This belief is the result of my personal experience and...
So the 2020's..... It's kinda... Awful??
In general, I think the start of the 2020s has been very disappointing and scary even. It feels like the start of major collapses across our society. It's getting harder and harder to latch onto hope and not become a doomer about it all. Heck, it's even...

The overton window has shifted. For those of you like myself who have been holding on to the idea that things will eventually return back to normal. This is the final pill. Ptolemy wrote an essay that really sums up where this whole ship is sailing, and its simpler than you think. Its a bit of a...
To be honest I'm kind of sick of meme culture at this point. It's something I've been feeling for over a year now and I've been trying to figure out why. I think the following observations may explain why I've been feeling this way. It may simply be a sign of cultural change or something worse...
