Here you have one.
It is not low karma, just low popularity.
Galileo Galilei was not popular back then when he said earth was not the center of the universe.
I'm sorry, but did you just compare yourself to the likes of Galileo Galilei? I know it must be some kind of a misunderstanding because I am pretty sure you did not mean to draw a comparison to one of the most influential people in the scientific revolution and you, who merely has some idealistic views towards macroeconomics and is being, rightfully, questioned about the practical application of those ideas.
Exactly.
Galileo was not "influential" back then, but impopular enough to be ostracized by the time he lived. So the comparison is valid.
Galileo got a very low karma back then.
Truth use to be very unpopular, specially uncomfortable truth.
The problem of low karma is a problem of open minds of those who provide low karma, not a problem of those who are ostracized.
The problem of open minds is that people use to like to stay inside, close and lock the door and close their minds.
This is what makes people who think "out of the box" to be attacked by non open minds who are like bees in the hive that feel threatened when the very essence of the hive is questioned. And of course, the hive discards individuals who are old and useless, after they have served the hive during their lives. No sense of community in the hive.
Indeed social rejection is the western version of communist repression to apply censorship. The mean is different but the effect is the same.
Low Karma is an indicator of how much repression and lack of freedom of speech is applied by a given community.
Of course, for practical purposes, karma allows violent people to vent their negative emotions by Anihilating people, and it allows the better side of humans to be vent when they Warship people. But as an overall indicator, karma applied to ostracized individuals it is a sign of how inclusive and open minded a community is.
A thread called "let's ostracize people" is a good indicator of how inclusive a community is.
And this is another uncomfortable truth.
Evidence? My karma is going down for saying uncomfortable truths.
Multicultural encounters use to be a moment when uncomfortable truths are revealed.
Soft skills are a must for people who want a job in multinational companies. Open mind is required.
If you reject a customer who has a different culture, the company may lose money.
Of course, if people spend time giving me bad karma, it means that I have a personal paparazzi.
That person is spending his life, thinking about rejecting someone, instead of having a positive life.
Usually paparazzis are paid to do annoy movie stars.
So if someone is after me, without being a star, it means my paparazzis should get a life and do things to gain mental health.
I am Mr. Nobody. Why spend "Annihilate" votes on me?
People with good mental health are positive and it is quite a pleasure to talk to them. Positive and happy people do not need to ostracize people.
I may like to see more positive talk here, not threads aimed to reject and ostracize people.
