"it can't be done any other way" strikes me as pretty thin. Whereas we may not be able to conceive of another way at this point in time, it does no good to imagine that this condition will continue in perpetuity.

If being put out of work could be made to be less of a dire situation for the worker, some of these climate solutions might still be viable.

It's possible to walk a line that straddles both approaches.

imo personal responsibility and lifestyle adjustments are just the kind of grassroots behavior that could lead humanity out of this. why wait for the industrial/capital machine to see the light and change course? this approach, however

Depends on your perspective I suppose. As I see it, starting over is a opportunity to try again, this time with all the knowledge you lacked the first time around. You may still encounter many of the pitfalls of the first iteration, but thi

I agree, although it's not the lines for me but the boundary of the page itself.

Relatively smaller problems are still problems. Rather than diminishing the significance of certain perspectives by calling them "not real", we should be acknowledging issues like this at all strata.

>you're never shielded from inflation It seems to me that inflation is integral to success of the system. That is to say, without inflation, far fewer people would "win".

You could argue that if the system naturally permits this kind of behavior (insider trading), that there is something fundamentally wrong with the system itself. Judicial band-aids are effective in their own way but they don't get to t

One might argue that there is plenty of human feeling in this bot-art. After all, it's trained on art with human feelings. Seems like it might be a very effective way to propagate it. It's a sort-of dispassionate third party who f

That was my understanding. I think it tries to capture some of Minecraft's mechanics like freeform building but it's so distilled it's not really fair to compare them.

Pretty much anything you could ever want in Minecraft you can get for free (perhaps with the assistance of mods). From what little time I've spent playing Fortnite, it seems much more narrowly-scoped and frankly, pretty boring. I'

It's not a "no worries" situation if you just left one job for another only to find out the culture isn't a good fit.
