Just a few decades ago the famous psychologist I will soon mention wrote that women are to thank for modern civilization, and if it weren't for men trying to please women war would also not exist. If she lets you into her bed, why fight? If she'll do it in a cave, why build the nicest hut, the nicest house on the block, the tallest skyscraper? Yes, because of the study of women in our universities, women now have the vote, and there's a lot less violence against women. But these same studiers of women have also attempted to strike from the record the famous thinker I alluded to in my first sentence. Something like Floyd. Only with an R. I fear I can't even write his name without being censored.

I love the ultimate Irony that, until they antagonized him, Morty actually did nothing wrong. The first Hoovy walked in the portal on his own, Morty didn't even ask. At worst, Morty is guilty of being negligent, since he could have stopped him. But Rick didn't even warn him of that. It was litterally a stupid mistake, and it set their entire civilization in motion against him.

[@shaunmoreau5081]

I mean Morty knew or at least was told by Rick about the time dilation but he was too distracted by Hoovy being nice

[@joshrzepka4139]

[@danidanfm4005]

i believe this episode stated its purpose in the first 5 minutes. morty: "how many enemies do you have to have? why is everything a fight with you?" rick: "i happen to learn this early morty, life is a fight."

I think I agree with we form society to combat a common enemy. This can be hunger, wild animals or the climate, it seems logical that survival is the thing that pushes us to work together.

[@parkerstroh6586]

But is combatting existential pressures the only thing that pushes us to work together? I’d say that modern society serves much more that just a defensive function... if this is all a simulation/video game then maybe life was destined for some grand collaborative effort that sent us to the stars and beyond. My point is there’s always multiple causes for observations made about things as complex as civilisation.

The first societies are not about co-operation, they were oppressive dictatorships. It might of made sense for our species to operate this way but the individual did not have a good life.

Well I think THAT was the entire point the cyborg was trying to make when Morty nailed him in his simulated balls. He was TRYING to make peace I think but Morty's impatience sabotages it before it can happen, a very Rick-ish outcome/thing to do to be honest.

[@swarthygiant1463]

I think thats highlighted with the quip of "why did i program myself genitals?" genitals and war are both things that, theoretically to a super advanced cyborg society, would be early stages of the emergent pattern that is society and evolution. The idea that robots cant seem to leave behind genitals, even though they are completely useless to them, simply because they are a part of their history and nature, is meant to be reflective of the fact that war is a useless vestigial part of our history we cant seem to leave behind. or you know, robot with nuts = funny. kinda both probably

[@Bern_il_Cinq]

@@swarthygiant1463 Why would war or the competition for resources ever become vestigial? Even in a perfect democratic society where all voices are heard and treated equally, the internal struggle between groups vying for power and resources are inherent. On face value war itself is not vestigial either. The deadliest war in human history ended less than 100 years ago. Quips like “post-9/11 American warmongering” do not recognize that the American way of doing things has produced the most peaceful age... ever. Those that preach demilitarization would just as soon have Rick roll the dice.

[@nathanielchieffallo4273]

@@Bern_il_Cinq that's ridiculous. America isnt the only reason society is "civil" now. America is the only reason we have to worry about secret service agencies with more power than the president, the reason why we are so worried about outside election meddling (because we do it ourselves) and the reason America has a populace that doesnt trust its corrupt politicians. All America did was usher in a new age of cold, silent economic war. Theres nothing "more civil" about America's imperialism than other authoritarian nations. Everyone around the world sees this, but not Americans. No, they think they were the sole reason society came to be and the only free country on earth, even though it was one of the last first world countries to end slavery. LOL

i swear, every discussion about society eventually ends with Hobbes vs Rousseau

[@doomcool7960]

sadly hobbes always ends up being right

[@quintessenceSL]

@@doomcool7960 Dunno about that. Hobbes' society always plants the seeds for its self destruction, in a constant cycle of rebellion and tyranny. While railing against anarchy, he sets the scene to where that becomes an inevitability, missing the justification for having government in the first place. Rousseau has his own problems. but at least has a greater (or longer) chance at maintaining a steady-state, with minor modifications to fit circumstances. It really boils down to dominance vs. adaptability (and the peaceful transference of power), in which case even Darwin might have a thing or two to say about that.

Fuck outta here telling me I'm the one who has to fund the projects and police myself

[@SpicyTake]

Time for rebellion!

[@mlarose42]

Thing is, those huge companies exist because there's a demand for their products. Yet you may not be taking the executive decisions for that compagny's, keeping on a consumerist way of life ensures that these corporations remain relevant and profitable. Hence, we're all collectively, in as much as we either are passive or active participants of the consumerist way of life, responsible for things that those big corporations do. I do respect your opinion, in that, it's true that corporations are green-washing everything while still being responsible for much of the world's pollution. That said, that doesn't mean that there's a campaign to stigmatize consumers into getting on that green-washing train (if so, I haven't heard of it yet). If you feel that those ads are pointing the finger at you, I think it's fair to say you're probably interpretating it that way, while most others might just feel indifferent to it. The reason why I'm commenting this is because I feel a lot of people have this kneejerk reaction and argue "but my tiny carbon footprint is nothing compared to X". When it comes out the mouth of people living in the surburb, with huge artificially maintained green grass lawns, a large pool, 4 cars and that are doing 3-4 air travels per year, it does feel dishonest and more like a cop-out than a really thought-out reaction. But as I don't know you, I don't want to assume this about you. Everyone deserve to find some peace in knowing that, if you are trying to reduce your carbon footprint, as much as it may not be tipping the world in the right way due to the limited impact you feel you have, you're still doing something that has value (at least, for me, a fellow internet stranger). Finally, hope this doesn't come across as condescending, my bad if so!

And it worked. Basically, it's like blaming slave masters for slavery with no intentions to ban it.

[@SarangJogi]

What made this episode even more bleak was the fact that after the Hoovie civilization ended up lifeless (nor organic), they were easily destroyed by Mr. Nimbus & were 100% not prepared for that. Out of all the nemesis's Rick could've had, he was pretty lucky due to the fact that Nimbus saved him & Morty thanks to his very specific power (making the land wet thus destroying all the tech Hoovies had left behind). But it sucked for the Hoovie civilization because all that progression was for nothing. Makes me wonder how much societies could have progressed if they learned to let things go & focus on things that matter & real issues.

[@cosmick9463]

This makes you about what happens to the society after the enemy it worked to destroy is defeated. Things wouldn't just go back to the way they where, because that society does not know what it is like to live without an enemy to combat.

@A. Driver No, Who said that. India is Still in the state which it was in post-independence. Still Insecure with progressive ideas, reluctant about Science R&D, failed to unit people despite race, religion, and caste. India is important to the US because of its proximity to China. and India is important because of its large population and consumer market for corporations. The Indian military is only headlines. With legacy hardware and vintage techs. It's just manpower. so no, it's not a military superpower. Yes, it is a big military because of the size of the country. But if you really compare to the size of our military, it severely lacks the amount of tech and hardware. And the economy is again what it is because of the population size, but if you really measure our per capita income, growth all is behind any other developing countries. I am not even going to mention the political crisis that going on. In conclusion, India is a superpower in Indian politics and media.

[@contrafatual]

Great episode. A good introduction to the question of violence in the civilizing process, a topic I have been studying for some years. So, "Are the Hoovys a prime example of the violent fate that inevitably befalls any society more obsessed with maligning its enemies than, you know, good neighborhood deeds?" Here's what I think: The Hoovys were already living in a social contract, or what Engels would call a state society. You may notice that, despite the absence of "technology", the nuclear family already exists, which implies social classes. This made the first Hoovy's wife totally dependent on him: the man was the breadwinner of the household. So, although the Hoovys seem to be living in a totally peaceful and idyllic society, there is a hidden violence: the violence of patriarchy and land ownership. There was probably already surplus accumulation, cities, trade and social hierarchy. This made it possible for a couple to live far from the city, presumably to raise their child in peace, but having already accumulated property and having enough technology to create, say, a monocle, iron knifes and chests. You can see a chest with a lock in the scene inside their house. Why would they need a locked chest unless there were thieves in this world, and thus, violence? An argument could be made that the fate of this society was already mapped out beforehand, since the process of primitive accumulation had already begun. For war as we know it to become the mainstay of society, it only took, as someone commented, one stupid mistake. Just like the Trojan war that would have started because of Helen's beauty. The potentiality of war was already contained in the social structure that created "society", in Rousseau's terms.

If you replace war with conflict it would make more sense to me, because conflict means moving forward and improving, which translates to civilization. A stagnant society means a decrease in the civilization-level, because time moves on and you have to move to just keep up. I´m Intellegnz, trust me.

I agree, after suffering from a decade of child abuse which ended with a divorce I believed that my troubles were over...a few years later 9/11/2001. Someone came up with a fantasy that I love being treated like burned dirt so, I felt like I had to do everything in my power to stop them...now I see myself as a villain because I believe that I am asking for trouble in a language that I have no way of understanding.

[@AmberGraves80]

I think the purpose if this episode was to show Morty how living like Rick does, screwing with everything with no regard to the consequences of his actions, can shape the universes he touches, even when it's on accident. I think that the show is slowly turning Morty into Rick, and part of that is to give him every opportunity to see the harmful side of that and give him a chance to change course.

Everyone missed the part where its like the monkeys with the ladder experient. 5 monkeys in a room with a latter and a banana on top. when a monkey climes everyone gets water sprayed on them. so when a monkey climbs, all others hit him. 1 at a time a new monkey is put in the room and try to climb, and again get hit by the other. overt time new monkeys put in and others switched out. the cycle continue, the new try to climb, and the rest hit him. at the end all the monkeys continue to hit the new monkeys even tho there are no monkeys left that know the original reason for this habit not to climb. here they continue the violence against Morty, but dont know why anymore.
