Yeah - honestly the hardest part about having a discourse on homelessness here (or anywhere else).

People just need to believe that homeless people are inherently bad in some way. It makes it really hard to discuss solutions, since they’re all “drug addicts who should be in jail.”

We're both just apes born knowing nothing about the world, doing our best to satisfy the values we learned from other apes.

An atoms, don't forget we are atoms trying to satisfy any Newtonian and non Newtonian rules

No reason to stop there. Unless you believe in some form of metaphysical soul, our entire existence, even our personal inner thoughts, is just vibrations in quantum fields acting according to their intrinsic mathematical nature. I couldn't type this message if the universe wasn't capable of performing self-reflection inside small bubbles of itself, based entirely on its physical nature.

Metaphysics is just another non Newtonian set of physics
