"we have all these people who can do all these wonderful jobs, what │ ║ should we work on next?" rather than "my company wants me at my work-home at │ ║ 8am sharp and I don't get a pension" │ ║ │ ║ there's no such thing as a revolution that does not inspire. and aspirations │ ║ are human and natural. therefore there must be some kernel of truth to any │ ║ social movement. │ ║ │ ║ However, much effort has been spent on making them sway. Hence, why nothing │ ║ ever gets done - because leaders naturally emerge, and people follow them. But │ ║ those leaders lead them astray, and they find themselves in situations like │ ║ this one - where the people have never felt less represented. │ ║ │ ║ I mean sure, yeah, they've felt more oppressed. And it's true that things are │ ║ generally always getting better... │ ║ │ ║ so why should we always assume for the worst? │ ║ │ ║ We're making progress with technology - can't we just put our warries on hold? │ ║ Seriously just... be chill │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4012 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── you can't just tell people you're enlightened. You gotta trick them, and convince them you're sane first. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/563 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── "all people are good" she says to herself, as she helps bad people ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4013 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌──────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: AI-"art" │ │ ║ └──────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ you would think artists would celebrate the ability for people to better │ ║ communicate their goals when being hired, but, well, here we are. │ ║ │ ║ Everyone's so upset because they've been told they've been stolen from, but │ ║ patting their pockets they'll find that nothing is missing. More than that, the │ ║ things that are claimed to be created in their place are... Not great. Easily │ ║ spotted as forgeries by anyone who cares. │ ║ │ ║ Why is everyone so upset over new technologies? Why must we be the luddites │ ║ this time around? It's like we invented a better printing press and the nations │ ║ of the world are pissed because we can make counterfeit dollars easier. Maybe │ ║ we shouldn't put so much emphasis on something so easily circumnavigable? Maybe │ ║ artists should be paid for their time and creativity, rather than the amount of │ ║ pieces they create? Just spitballing here, somehow it seems easier to reform │ ║ society and slay capitalism than to put the generative art genie back in the │ ║ cracked bottle which is going to break soon anyway. │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4014 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── I don't know about you, but "trying my hardest" involves giving up sometimes. How else are you to know your limits if you don't test your boundaries? And, after finding that there's nowhere else for you to go, you turn around and "give up", until you're ready for your next expedition. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4015 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌─────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: unhinged-fun-conspiracy │ │ ║ └─────────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ Global warming is a hoax and the earth has been getting hotter because the │ ║ earth is inching ever-so-closer to the sun bit by bit. │ ║ │ ║ All of the trees throughout all of history have produced enough oxygen to │ ║ create a ball of air that slowed down the earth as it span around the sun, and │ ║ now because of a cascading ripple effect it's begun to drift into it's stellar │ ║ heart │ ║ │ ║ this is obviously not ideal for humans, but the government has secretly been │ ║ building vast bunkers underground that are large enough to house all of │ ║ humanity for the next 100,000 years (which is approximately how long it'll take │ ║ to be engulfed by the sun) │ ║ │ ║ During that time our job is to find a way off of this barren rock and bring our │ ║ treasure troves of biological samples to other places where we can recreate a │ ║ new biosphere using alien tech that's been beamed into the minds of our top │ ║ scientists while they were on LSD and / or ketamine │ ║ │ ║ [why don't people make up conspiracy theories like this anymore?
