The problem I want to solve has nothing to do with limited resources. Lack of kindness. There is no way to solve it. No amount of resources, talent, funding

The problem I want to solve has nothing to do with limited resources.
Lack of kindness.
There is no way to solve it.
No amount of resources, talent, funding or media can solve it.
It's a very simple problem with no solution.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoBuild community and protect it.
- alganet 2y agoI am sorry, it makes no sense. You will just alienate whoever is kind. Trust me, this problem has no solution. Kindness will be gone, and no one will ever notice.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoI built community with a core group of kind people. Kind people allowed, unkind people not. Totally possible.
- alganet 2y agoI thought a lot about it in the past. Sounds simple, it's not.
- fuzzfactor 1y agoReally it is simple, just not easy. More accurately, somewhat difficult, and takes a bit of focused effort. Which can more than overwhelm the simplicity. Regardless, a lot of the most worthwhile things are neither easy nor simple. So this has at least something going for it that most things do not.
- alganet 1y agoYou haven't addressed the issue.
- fuzzfactor 1y agoGood call. But it's not my issue. I've got my hands full with things that are neither simple nor easy :)
- alganet 1y agoSeems like you're wasting time then.
- owebmaster 1y agoRivalry between communities is what creates most cruelty. Why not starting by considering the whole humanity a community?
- alganet 1y agoYou all have too many competing interests. Uniting humanity is a pipe dream, not a solution for the lack of kindness.
- toomuchtodo 1y agoLot of low quality in humanity in the aggregate. I am only interested in emotionally healthy, high empathy humans who want to defend and empower other humans. Selfish? Controlling? Not respecting of the human rights of others? Hard pass. Life is too short to compromise on who you associate with and are there for imho.
- owebmaster 1y agoThat's not kindness, that selfishness and tribalism, just like we have today.
- toomuchtodo 1y agoYou asked, I shared, I’m comfortable with the mental model and not concerned about the opinion of others on the topic.
- hedayet 2y agooff topic but I'd be very curious to know what role resource plays on kindness. i.e., to proof or disproof this hypothesis - "lack of resource increases cruelty"
- apothegm 2y agoStudies show that greater wealth tends to make people less considerate and prosocial. One theory is that this is because they’re no longer as interdependent on others.
