You are not wrong. It’s a very unfair world we have build. And a lot of people are struggling even though there are plenty of resources to make sure every single person on earth could have their needs met and the opportunity to live a meaningful life.

BUT we have to dare to hope. Because otherwise we just give up and the people on top is counting on that. ”We have the power and there is nothing you can do about that”. I think David Graeber is one of the most hopeful people to read:

“Hope is a tricky business among intellectuals and activists. Cynicism, though it’s often inaccurate about both human nature and political possibilities, gives the appearance of sophistication; despair is often seen as sophisticated and worldly-wise while hopefulness is seen as naive, when the opposite is not infrequently true. Hope is risky; you can lose, and you often do, but the records show that if you try, sometimes you win.

His essay Despair Fatigue opens: “Is it possible to become bored with hopelessness?”

I think David Graeber and David Wengrove make a case that it has worked in bigger communities too.

Not really. It would just make it easier for rats to take over. Small animals would quickly get back to the old numbers, but bigger predators in the ecosystem might not recover. So if Thanos plan was for cockroaches and rats to rule the world, well then maybe.

To be fair, he would solve any housing crisis.

What will they do then? Vote for Thanos?

Good for you

I used it for the first time this morning. The motion sensor was surprisingly good at getting me out of bed. It even detected if I tried to get back in.

Yea, it’s called indexing, it’s well documented: https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/document/obo-9780199756841/obo-9780199756841-0090.xml

I would buy it, if it where available in Europe.

Federated LinkedIn would still be better than LinkedIn.

Don’t forget meditation apps!

You are right. We should give up all hope at just give in, there is nothing we can do.
