Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

humans lived in small communes for most of their history.
the renaissance wasnt people deciding suddenly to be rational and inventive. the feudal religious system was dying and stopped being the limiting factor.
capitalism is our modern day limiting factor, the one that encourages us to be greedy to survive when we dont need it anymore.
