Remind me why we are we talking about paedophilic shit here?
Scales of relevance here, further societal complexity opens new doors to different forms of poverty, hidden by structural differences
Remind me again of how farming ruined people
Plot twist outside of America it's not much
Literally no economic system or political science yet has managed to prevent the internalised drive for familicide or authoritarian violence funnily enough, one can only hope that rationality prevails over bad thoughts, but not on the basis of civilization or self preservation, but through the collective conscience of humanity coming to understand how best to maximize the available entropy and energy within society to produce the most jobs, the most utility, the most potential sex, the most systems of funding and all other human desires.
Consider thot the US is a very rich democracy yet has many school shootings, Saudi Arabia has had to deal with corrupt funding of terrorists, China uses AI to bait people into crime and arrests people on false charges and then plays catch and release while Israel funds Hamas, imports overseas Jews and then exports violent "settlers" into the Palestinian borders.
Consider that even millionaire dictators who go on holiday will occasionally commit mass genocide. All of these bad things... Are not going to disappear because of capitalism, but we can at least say that they would become more foreseeable and preventable in a world where we have movies or stories that discuss our present these monstrosities to light
I feel like most people including producers don't care so much, they care more about promoting more people to get into the whole creatives sector so to speak so that there's less concentrated loss of capital and risk for everyone involved including the pirates and "copyright enforcers"
Dutch company sends pirates dick pics with ominous warnings as a means of fearmongering for the pirates
I think a lot of people don't want to admit that most political ideas ranging from communism to capitalism are half baked labels we stick onto a collection of beliefs about what works best to solve certain problems. If you got rid of the labels you might just ask the question of what works and where the money will come from
Meh government jobs can be depressing from what I've heard. The big thing is that many who work in government have watched over the years how multiple parties and various personalities fail to bring meaningful change and I can only imagine how depressing it is. It is no doubt that a government job, much like teaching is meant to be symbolic as a position of caretaking so to speak, but one with more authority than real inspiration and information.
The next big thing in my mind is the evolution of government systems, ie the human body and mind has already managed to become versatile enough to adapt itself across a variety of ecosystems, the next big thing will be how our systems adapt to the human circumstances on a large scale in a manner that will not be controlled or directed by a single authority like a government, but by a anarchic democratic meritocracy where the more material knowledge and capability you can provide the group the more information and transparency is given to you for further investment into the system you are part of or rely on.
Yes I'm drunk lol
