Reddit … the gateway drug

What if it’s a group of Batmen who are all holding multiple bats that they own?

Isaac Newton put it best:

“I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

It’s completely stupid, short sighted and ignorant of us to think that we know everything there is know about the universe and natural world. There is still so much more to learn about and understand and probably far more than we can even comprehend.

But we also have to regulate how much we know and don’t know and how we can understand or not understand … because as Richard Feynman put it …

“Keep an open mind … but not so open that your brain falls out”

Libertarians do care about freedom … their own personal freedom … and it doesn’t matter to them if it costs the freedoms of others

It’s a selfish mentality where they believe that they should have all the ultimate freedom to do whatever they please, regardless if it hurts, degrades or destroys anyone’s or everyone’s freedoms.

More like a liability

That we are both simultaneously intelligent and absolutely stupid.

We built a modern technological society for all of humanity yet set it up to only benefit a handful of individuals and convinced ourselves that this is acceptable.

The handful of beneficiaries are intelligent enough to lead but dumb enough to think that this is sustainable. The rest of us are intelligent enough to live and work in this society yet dumb enough to never want to do anything about it.

25 years old

Old enough to be an adult to do adult things … young enough to be able to do everything a human body can do with the most optimal stamina and comfort. Good recovery and trained properly, is the optimum level of development, energy and strength. This age doesn’t get any better after this period.

Capitalism and profit and the need to make more money is like rot, a fungus, a bacterial infection or a viral infection.

Any service product or idea you tie to capitalism will inevitably become infected to the point where you infection of wanting to make money will over ride everything. In the end, it has nothing to do with ideas, development, evolution or making things … it always devolves down to just wanting to make as much money as possible.

That is what destroys and devolves any and all social media today. It has nothing to do with social media … it has everything to do with making money and maximizing profits.

Prosecuting war crimes are only followed or ignored by those with the biggest guns and bombs.

That is a solution … but you have to wait about 50 - 70 years to see the result

They are having a population crisis … an aging boomer generation that just won’t die and their many children who will add to the aging population while the generations after these groups had fewer children. The population is now full of old people with very few young Japanese to take care of them.

It won’t matter how nationalist they want to be … they’re stuck with the problem of having a huge aging population and far too few young people.

Whether they like it or not, if they want to maintain the country’s current level of development, they’re going to need young people from somewhere else to fill the gaps.

Kindness and empathy is a sign that a person is able to think about the world more widely and intelligently … it means they see past the terrible person or terrible things to try to understand why people, populations or things are they way they are. If you have an understanding or patience to try to honestly and objectively understand why things are the way they are … the more likely you will have the tools and ideas to do something about those problems or those issues.

Someone without kindness or empathy impatiently makes simple assumptions of everything and everyone and immediately jumps to the easiest, simplest “solutions” that usually don’t require any of their responsibility or inconvenience. They don’t care about the source of the problem, they just want to get rid of the problem as quickly and as trouble free as possible, no matter the history, background or circumstances that caused the original problem. It’s a great way of solving problems quickly … but more often than not, this kind of mentality just repeats the same problems over and over again.

Kindness and empathy

Whenever I see or hear someone disregard or debase another person they don’t know or understand without even trying to get to know anyone … I immediately just think they are dumb

Whenever I see or hear someone treat someone else kindly without ever more knowing the other person … then that person is smart in my books … all that can change if the receiver of kindness starts acting like an ass though.

It’s the first impression … if all I see is kindness and empathy at the beginning, I know I’m dealing with a bright person.

Might be a tactic to get people to lose old historic accounts and start new ones. A good way to bump up the numbers is to ban an account but don’t delete the account, and just let it just sit there. Then the banned person is forced to create a new account if they want back in again.

A common theme I read from banned accounts is that they can’t get in again yet no one said the account was deleted … and the assumption is that the user just gave up the account and restarted a new one.

Which is why we will never be allowed to starve … not fed enough, not enough nutrition, constantly hungry … but never allowed to completely starve.

Trump speeches are like a flame thrower on a pivot … your just turn on the unit and it starts burning random things within range and you won’t know where it will spew it’s flames.

That’s what I love about their stupid logic

The US economy was built and maintained because of the large number of middle class business people and small town business owners, farmers and workers … the little bit of wealth they generated for themselves helped to create a monolith of wealth for the ultra rich … the money trickled upwards.

Now they are set to destroy and decimate all those American middle class people and their little bit of wealth … it will be like shutting off the tap that supplied the ultra wealthy with all their wealth. On top of that, the new class and growth of destitute people everywhere will only become a net loss as you try to turn your country into an expensive police or military state that will constantly need financing.

Sure, the rich will be able to buy everything up for cheap … land, businesses, buildings, real estate, everything for a fraction of what it cost originally … but any savings they get will be lost on paying for security, police, even military as everyone everywhere start fighting for the little bit of scraps they can get because they’re starving.

They killed kings and queens with unbelievable wealth in France centuries ago and the country is still here. It proved that a nation can survive without a handful of people with massive wealth.

Great point and one I always refer to as well … money and wealth only exist because we all believe it to have value and purpose.

It’s a modern day religion that only exists because we all put our faith and belief in it all.

And just like every ancient faith and belief … if one day enough of us or all of us stop believing in it, all that wealth and power just evaporates and means nothing.

Doesn’t anyone ever make the connection that BILLIONAIRES SHOULDN’T EXIST

I don’t mean kill the person or assassinate them … just separate them from their money. The idea of someone owning and controlling so much money and wealth is only detrimental to the rest of humanity.

Get rid of excessive wealth and you will solve 99.9% of the world’s problems. It won’t create a utopia but it would be a hell of a lot better world than what we have now.
