PSA: It's fine and recommended to use the term "mushroom" to mean "mushroom". Don't use "fungus" when you're referring only to the fruit body because it would be wrong. The term "fungus" is normally used to refer to a whole organism* or a whole species/group of fungi.

*The notion of an organism in fungi is a bit special because the mycelium can freely be broken into isolated patches - but mushrooms are formed by many strands of mycelium (hyphae) from the same organism/strain getting together and making a beautiful mushroom with a single genome. Mushrooms are not chimeras, normally in most species (for what I know). However, if you mix multiple "individuals" i.e. mycelium from the same species with different genes, it's war. This can be observed on agar plates when growing mycelium from many spores that germinate and mate, resulting in different diploid patches that won't overlap and will slow each other's growth.

There’s not a lot of coherent ideologies anymore.

A whole bunch of institutions, parties, and people have been reduced to vibes, memes, and performance art.

Being a heretical moderate might be the way forward:

It is important for the common good to foster individuality: for only the individual can produce the new ideas which the community needs for its continuous improvement and requirements -- indeed, to avoid sterility and petrification.

People shouldn't be able to control what colour other people's doors are. For god's sake, it's not going to kill them even if they don't like it. Individuality is wonderful.

🏴 "Is the #child to be considered as an #individuality, or as an object to be moulded according to the whims and fancies of those about it? (...) Every institution of our day, the family, the State, our moral codes, sees in every strong, beautiful, uncompromising #personality a deadly enemy; therefore every effort is being made to cramp human emotion and originality of thought in the individual into a straight-jacket from its earliest infancy; or to shape every human being according to one pattern; not into a well-rounded individuality, but into a patient work slave, professional automaton, tax-paying citizen, or righteous moralist. (...) If #education should really mean anything at all, it must insist upon the #free growth and development of the innate forces and tendencies of the child. In this way alone can we hope for the free individual and eventually also for a free #community, which shall make interference and coercion of human growth impossible": #EmmaGoldman, "The Child and its Enemies" (1906)

#FreeWill is a misnomer. If our will is free to do as it pleases then we don’t have any say in the decisions it makes.

The problem of #Will has nothing to do with #determinism. It is all about #Control.

As #individuals, we are born unwillingly within the #nature of our genes and the #nurture of our environment, family, culture, and society, upon which we have little or no control.

However, our #individuality (singular) and our current #knowledge #state were also affected over the years by layers upon layers of little decisions that we’ve made to willingly transition from one state to another “better” one.

In#Kihbernetics, #information, #knowledge, and #control are all internal to the system.

The #environment may throw things at you but how you #respond is totally up to you (your current state).

Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there’s always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.
