I agree with your sentiment about positive social interactions being important.

But the thing is, and I think that’s what the poster you were replying to meant, that you need zero knowledge about evolution to notice that. Everyone notices it in daily life. Scientific studies give us evidence about our social nature. If we didn’t know about evolution, the conclusion would still be the same: we are deeply programmed to be social. If the same conclusion is reached with or without a specific piece of information, then that information is useless for predictions, like the previous poster said. Or are you in all seriousness telling me that the reason you gifted your XBox to a kid was that you have an understanding of evolution??? And without that understanding, you wouldn’t have thought of making that gift?

Moderation isn’t necessary if you’re willing to just throw the whole site away when it turns to shit.

Well, yeah. Storing your potatoes in the dark is also not “necessary” if you’re willing to just throw them away when they sprout. But wanting to preserve things we like is a given to most people.

Looking at the US candidates from Germany, this is always how Bernie appeared to me.

Should ask somewhere else, you won’t find these people in a federated open-source communist link aggregator website.
