  • Three Words:

    Universal Basic Income.

    Why: If this generation builds a machine that forever generate resources, then their decendant (meaning, all humans from this point forward) should deserve to have the results of the machine that their ancestors have built using their hard work.

    Maybe if the machine break, people then take turns to fix the machines, but then everyone should just enjoy existence.

    People under Capitalism dread automation.

    People under (Democratic) Socialism will embrace automation.









  • The “system” in place is not as elegant as it seems. Some things are actually very done very informally or “ghetto”.

    Courts are just essentially like when kids have to meet in a “dean’s office”, but for adults; it doesn’t have the same feel, the same “elegance” as depicted on TV. Judges aren’t some legal god that is untouchable, they’re just humans. In several occasions, I had to accompany my mother for a civil hearing about some bussiness (small-bussiness) lawsuit I can’t talk about. We met the judge in the elevator and just awkwardly said hi. Also one time we met another judge right outside the courthouse and my mother was trying to discuss the court case, but then the judge suddenly realize it was a case he rulled on, so he stopped discussing it because that’s not really supposed to be discussed by a judge outside of court. I never seen them have any personal security. As a kid, I always thought they would have like at least a squad of special bodyguards assigned to protect them, but these experiences shattered that belief. This is a large city in the USA, btw. There’s nothing special about judges, they are just humans.

    Same thing with cops, they aren’t the those hard working investigators as depicted on TV shows, they mostly just are lazy (and some corrupt too) and won’t actually help you with anything. Maybe write a report if its serious like robbery, but they won’t actually do any investigations. Maybe if you or a close relative knows the chief of police or sheriff or something like that, but otherwise they don’t do shit.

    The “system” is just a bunch of humans that created a made-up concept of governance. There is no magical machine ruling over us, we are part of that machine, whether its democratic or autocratic, its us that allows the machine to run.

    The judge is a human, the cops are humans. They could at anytime lose loyalty to the state. The state isn’t that special, its just a made up concept that we all have in our minds.









  • There is actually a youtube channel called “Dhar Mann” filled with stupid scenarios and end with the moral “So you see, this is why you don’t treat the poor-looking guy badly… because he might be secretly rich and was about to give you a big tip on the bill”. Not because you should have common decency, but because “he might be a secret rich person” 🤦‍♂️

    You’re gonna die laughing of the cringe if you ever watch those videos 🤣
