How come humanity gives so many resources & time to realize the hallucinations of somebody who didn’t have a single original idea in 42 years, while the people who have solutions to solve our actual problems are left without them?

      Good point, I wonder how we can change that, do you have any reasonable ideas? :)

        it’s all about little battles for me

        choosing FOSS software and open services

        voicing my opposition to the greedy

        exercising earnest support for every person I encounter (since as far as I know, I only encounter working class people)

        repairing instead of trashing

        volunteering to help the most vulnerable in my community

        cooking meals instead of eating out

        choosing free-range when selecting eggs, etc.

        growing a few veggies each year

        and many more

        this enhances my local experiences and maximizes my power to affect the world

          great list, awesome work friend! I try my best to do the same, but I allocate a lot of my resources into initiating macro changes, however low the chance of success, the local work is definitely more reasonable and prone to success :)

    Any heinous thing that sucks money and power into fewer hands they want. I’m convinced if hostile aliens arrived and starting sending out fleets of mind-control drones, billionaires would be like “actually we’ve spearheaded our own exciting brain drone program that makes you work until you die”
