“Slowly, I told myself that evolution failed itself by giving a bit more individual selfishness over community/species survival.”
There are a lot of great answers here already, but I would like to put forth the anticapitalist position that the quote above is likely false. Humans can work together, we have developed systems of cooperation that can deter selfishness from destroying a community. This is possible (and despite decades of propaghanda…popular!) What is stopping it is the greed for wealth and power of the 1% at the expense of everyone else and the planet. The masses of people are constantly trying to stop this, and mostly fail. But cracks in their power do open occasionally, and you just have to do what you can until a Crack is available for you to help widen. I think it’s possible to win, but not through personal lifestyle changes and voting alone. Only through activism and protest is it possible. Most humans keep trying to solve this, and that gives me hope.
Someone needs to make a meme with the lawyer guy : “how many of you are thinking of killing him right now? Be honest!”
Charlotte might be earth’s most confusing city.
looks like an all grown up Ralph Wiggums
Early in the article: “Poll numbers have dropped due to his handling of Israel and Hamas”
Hmm, how could he handle this one? Stop sending weapons and $$$ to Israel?
Later in the article: “Some advisers have told him he should walk faster out of concern that his gait feeds impressions that he’s too old”
I’m thinking of switching to Tidal. I’ve had YouTube music for awhile and I like it, but I just learned they fired a huge chunk of their staff after they unionized and that pissed me off. Anybody know how their rock and jazz selection is, especially with smaller lesser known artists?
camera is in the box. that’s how they did this
We are already post scarcity. Most energy use is just a complete waste.
Pretty frustrating interview, I didn’t grasp what his actual issues ate with AI. I guess I’ll look for other articles somewhere else
that’s an epic void in those streets. gives me “fuckcars” vibes!
Counter measures against warlordism would be crucial for effective anarchism for sure!
I think the easiest approach to anarchism is searching for Chomsky talking about it.
This is correct. If society becomes a place where a few people are running everything by force it is not anarchy, even if technically there are no written down laws. A lot of anarchist philosophy is about how to achieve and maintain anarchy without it devolving back into hierarchical power structures. There are a lot of different ideas that have spawned their own subgenre of anarchy. I personally think some checks and balances combination of unions and community councils is the most likely to succeed. This is anarcho-syndicalism.
OK so you’ve never been to America
kind of amazing the US managed to pick up a handful of other countries this time. must have been hitting the diplomacy hard the last few years
The thing that saved my sanity when my hyper pit bull was that age was a laser pointer. Id stand in the backyard in the evening and he would chase it for like 60 minutes or more until he couldnt move his body.
I don’t think thats true. Housing prices are high everywhere, I have friends and family in the midwest their shit is out of control too. New York and San Fran are the most extreme for sure but costs of renting or buying have like tripled everywhere over the last decade
shields down, we’re going in!
Kind of a cutesy medium if true
