  • You are right that we COULD do many of these things. But we won’t. We live in a society of people who deny there is even a problem. Anyone who knows it’s either powerless or looking to profit.

    Humans work on crisis management. We ignore a problem until it bites us in the face. Then we band together and defeat it. Unfortunately, when a problem exists that can’t be corrected by the time it bites us, no banding together will stop it.


  • Did you mean to respond to me because I don’t see how it relates? I assume you are responding to the thread.

    I agree with you to a point. I mean, think of how wonderful a world it could be if there was any kind of equity. People making sure everyone is fed, no theft, no slavery, etc. It’s almost traumatizing to realize we have the capacity to make this a reality, but don’t.

    I’ve come to the conclusion this is just fantasy. It’s human nature to destroy itself. People have a long history of hating people not like them. Just when I think we’re making progress along comes racism again.

    I don’t believe this will ever change. It’s a true shame.



  • The weird thing is it’s kind of more bizarre than a dystopian society. In dystopia, you know resources are scarce and that you have to defend yourself with violence. But in this actual dystopia, I can still get up and go play disc golf, pretty much without incident. There could come a day when I’m pulled over by some Nazi cop who decides to make an example of me, which face it, has been the case for some time now, but until then for little things like that, it’s pretty much business as usual despite the plummet into fascism. Very weird.
