I think he was supposed to be ejected in that pose?

You missed the jo…

Me too

“Making the impossible merely inadvisable” - poetry!

It’s even more bleak than that. Politically, the bargaining power of the masses is from the labor they contribute. As soon as the need of human labor is gone, there is absolutely no reason for those with power to heed the will of the populus. You can say open revolt, but if we’re talking a situation where any significant portion of the military is automated, uprisings are no longer a concern.

Are those figures revenue or profit?

I loved mushrooms and acid, salvia was terrible. It’s super short and super intense. You may think “well it’s just 5 minutes” but it will not feel like 5 min. If you’re looking to expand your mind, mushrooms and acid are great. If you want to slice your brain in half and put the two halves in two separate dimensions with no personal introspection to speak of, try salvia.

He looks like Creedy from V for Vendetta.

Noob here, what does revanced do?

That’s a noble goal. This is basically the biggest argument against collectivism. If you don’t have even a framework for addressing it I doubt you will get much support for your ideas.

And let’s say 95% of people act civilly, but 5% of the population is extremely greedy. How do you limit the greedy from drinking all the ale and not contributing to the community?

Can you explain your non- currency economy for those of us without that much imagination?

Does trade still exist?

If so what is the medium of exchange?

How is value evaluated?

No one would work fast food or retail, but that might be ok.

I’m very confused about your comment.

a) Is it not okay to use ‘big boy’ words? Do you disagree with the statement or just with the diction?

b) The second point you make has nothing to do with my comment. I’d have thought you accidentally responded to the wrong comment except for you pointing out ‘insular’. Why are these things relevant to the discussion?

Only smile that matters

Lemmy does seem to have some insular thinking (just like all social media communities). Feels like you can actually have discussion and at least learn why people hold those views instead of just being chastised.

What kind of brick is that?

Non-violence was successfully used in the US during the civil rights protests. The quote feels correct for those protesting because change is slow and there are certainly some people without conscious. The non-violence movement displayed very clearly the oppressor and the oppressed and it eventually swayed public opinion enough to lead to lasting political change.

Ethicists were too preoccupied with whether or not they should, they didn’t stop and think if they could.

Markets don’t necessarily need profit incentive, just that different people have different preferences for the things being offered. There are examples where markets are created and used to allocate resources where the exchange currency isn’t even money, such as time banks.

“Duplication” of production is not inefficient from a macro economy perspective. First it provides supply chain redundancy, second it typically incentivises innovation. If you assume a centrally planned economy (which is the typical opposite of market based in discussions) both of these benefits of duplication hold in theory.
