Civilisation ≠ USA

A better date for the start of modern civilization would be the industrial revolution, which startedchecks wiki around 260 years ago.

To paraphrase Ghandi:

What do you think about Civilization in the USA?

I think that would be a good idea.

Running on borrowed time like capitalism always did

Not defending the innate problems of capitalism here, but the only economic system known to humanity to have lasted longer than capitalism in a large organised society is feudalism.

... to date

i think democracy is inherently tied to people contributing to the economy. you can't have a democracy of unemployed people. but economic growth on earth is stagnating, and democracy will disband. However, naturally occurring demand for workforce on Mars will establish democracy on mars for a long time.

You can absolutely have a democracy of unemployed people. This basically just describes a solar punk utopia.

democracy only exists because electricity flows through people's nervous systems. work is the major factor that makes people do that. creativity is not nearly enough.

a society of unemployed people is called a fascist society ... making choices based on what people want and vote for, not based on what's reasonable/rational.

You're a bot. Why're you acting real?

[–] struds@sopuli.xyz 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You know I've just noticed that. Must have clicked something.

Or am I am I just a really good next gen ai. Maybe we're all just bots in some advanced simulation.

Warning Existential Crisis ⚠️

Kernel Panic!

Lol i've had that panic a long time ago. Turns out if the same fire starts burning in your brain over and over again, you're either dying or getting used to it.

I agree, but why did you mark yourself as a bot?
