We need only believe in the possibility of a better, different future to act. We need only act to manifest it.
Go vote. Go work on things that truly matter.

- worik 7y agoGood advice. But in the face of power imbalances ineffective.
- defterGoose 7y agoSadly true. Guess it's war then?
- orthecreedence 7y agoI've been very interested lately in dual power as an alternative to both voting in a system where governments are captured agencies and also bloody revolution. In effect, forming a network that bypasses the current powers until they disappear.
- viklove 7y agoYou don't have to bypass the current powers, you just have to dilute them sufficiently. Currency is just a coupon you spend to redeem on human productive output (goods and services). Since the wealthy have most of the currency, they decide to "spend" human productive output on making them wealthier. Billionaires shouldn't unilaterally decide how society spends its human productive output, that should be a decision society as a whole gets to make. How do you accomplish this? Universal basic income would dilute billionaire's ability to control how human productive output is spent, and instead, society as a whole would get to make that decision. Inflation caused by UBI only hurts one class of people -- billionaires. Everyone else ends up better off, and has more of a say on the direction of human civilization.
- alejohausner 7y agoThe Black Death and the world wars were catastrophes that led to greater equality. Peace and stability tend to favour the wealthy, and lead to greater inequality.
