"citizen of the earth", and guess where I was born. But I also am attached to the localized region of my life, hence the favor shown to the country. gee these lines we draw in the sand are kind arbitrary, I mean I could literally just reach an arm over them and shake the hand of my mirror self. Kinda makes me think they're more useful as cultural demarcators instead of indicators of subjugative ownership. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1552 ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── @user-883 people shouldn't be forced to do anything except refraining from harming others. the only unethical action is an application of power to an unconsenting subject. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1553 ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── if you optimize for competitive advantage, then eventually you'll optimize away from all the reasons to compete. which is how you get paperclip profit maximizers. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1554 ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-socialism-fediverse-commune-transgirls-mentioned │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ do you ever think about how a fediverse instance is basically a socialist commune where the only needs that are met are our needs for community and acceptance? kinda makes me wonder if we could use it to meet other needs too, like if everyone had an alt account in an instance run by their city / state maybe with some extra mechanical tools that helped distribute goods and services without explicitly relying on the exchange of currency. or perhaps with, depending on what the instance wanted. ... that being said, such a localized instance would not be as good at building community. What's the meme about the 3 transgirls in the 3 different time zones? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1555 ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── @user-1018 yep. monopolies are not competition, and yet that's what we optimize toward, through the nature of our planned economics. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
