Because love takes time, and money is time in this society. Takes a lot of money to have friends, and most men are actually to poor to afford friends. That's included in the price society pays for loving wealth first. You cannot serve

The police, and common culture, protect capital above all else. This is a capitalist society first and foremost. The status quo, the police state, and the corporation are all protected before the innocent individual. It's policy.

Culture can be, but should not be thought of as shared values. The more accurate way to think of it is shared delusions. Their is nothing in "values" that is actually truth, just emotional feelings about it. Shared emotions can be

Simply a kinder, gentler power structure. Not anything the US government hasn't pretended to be working toward for years. All it is is treating citizens as "one of your own" instead of as one of the "them". No great

Definitely the cutting edge of Government thinking. Seriously. The message is "you can change nothing".

So nothing's changed, the status quo remains the most important thing. Shocking. As to why, politics and the love of power. Nothing new.

It is if the market wouldn't exist without people being forced to work at night. The difference seems to be very hard to understand.

But to think people decide to work because either they want things or because the mass media convinces them too is really missing the point of the issue. Maybe that's why you or I or many people do things but the vast majority of work

That's not his point. He's saying people buy pizza at night because they are unnecessarily working at night. Selling pizza at night shouldn't be necessary because its an artificially created market.

People only have trouble finding others to honestly help them when they can't honestly share the rewards of the work. Slaves will always rebel in any way possible.

That's true, but I draw the line at people creating a higher life form, and that's what it would take to replace programmers.

by heynowletsgo 9y ago
Finally some damn sense on this topic. The whole "programmers will be automated away" is just a scare tactic to slow down the automation of what can be automated. People scared and afraid and attacking what they perceive as the en

The concept that machines will become the problem and not people is absurd. Completely absurd. People make the machines and people prevent machines from increasing the quality of life for most people. The only change needed in the progressi

That's because racism is just the extreme version of difference intolerence. Doesn't matter what the original group has in common, they will gang up on who is different, whatever the difference. The conversation shouldn't be

The only thing people need to learn, whether with a formal instructor or on their own, is opportunity and reason. That's where society fails, the system is designed to hoard and dole it out from the top. If you want people to learn you
