We already live in that world though, we just pretend we "made" our lives more than lucking into them. I guess some aspects of some religions are attempts to correct that, not in the least the belief in reincarnation. But one way to reach every last holdout would be to make it so. And a way to simulate it is social pressure I guess. That's what empathy is for, and why sometimes indignation is "righteous". Though in this case, I didn't mean my post so much as finger pointing, maybe it started with that impulse but I wouldn't want to "use" this anecdote for that, after all it was something that made and makes me deeply ashamed of how lightly I take all my luck and my wealth. In a good but still a bitter way that I insist is necessary. It only feels really bad as long as one isn't actively working on helping in some way, after all. As long as someone isn't free, we're not free. No man is an island, and all that. I don't mean socialism, as long as everybody has dignity and basic necessities, I don't care if someone has a private space ship; I mean just not trampling on the little and the weak and the unfortunate. An idea that shouldn't just be admired as noble, but implemented thoroughly, while writing tests for it. Upgrade it from warning to error, yesterday preferably.
