Do you really live in a world where Big Pharam is a force for good? I live in a world where many of my friends and even my father was killed in cold blood by that system in its blind pursuit of profit over health and honesty. The number of

Lost lost lost. I'ts not like we couldn't have predicted this disaster. One more reason to never trust a companies "word". Show me the code.

I've recently swiched to using Links on the linux framebuffer as my primary browser. No javascript and a very fast HTML parser and graphics driver and I've been blown away at how much time I now save never waiting on a page load.

How about systems that don't involve stat backed currency OR cryptocurrency? Like using these amazing communication devices to connect needs with resources without involving the middle-man god $.

The only way to win is to not play. Seriously, did you truly "need" everything you purchased new and could you have gotten it second hand or forgone? I already hear grumbling from the crowd, "opportuniy cost", "time

Yay! A bunch of people that haven't programmed (much?) in Lisp t-ing off with a few that have, dragging out all the old tired arguments (LISP?!)!

Bravo. This is, IMHO, one of the biggest problems with the United States, we throw away our elders. In other countries, such as Russia, it is very common to have three or four generations living in the same home, with the elders providing m

Personal value systems. Today's god money is, in my humble opinion, such a poor substitute for the other wealths of this planet, time being possibly the most valuable thing we have. It is possible, and, for me, completely logical to wi

Yea, thats what I'm trying to point out. Tribal gift economies were not "barter economies". Pretty insulting to those cultures to ignore their art and knowledge. Many would argue, me included, that their art was ,in many ways

A fish doesn't understand the water it swims in. Have you truly thought about what the "some issues" of money in todays society truly are. What are the true costs? What did we, as a society, lose? Here's an example. Just

I would argue that, depending on your value sytem, many better social models have been invented and flourished for thousands of years. They didn't value property or money nor care to commit genocide to further expansion and hence were

It's just so easy for a naive and trusting person to be pulled into an information bubble. Like a few off topics and then get all the confirmation-bias support you would ever need with no "need" to go search out countering in

In some just universe, oil == pure evil. It's underground for a reason and poking a million painful needles into Mother Earth to suck it out and spew it into every biome is bound to have implications on our own health. As above, so bel
