also looking at those countries we can see it isn’t a permanent fix though. Capitalists don’t stop fighting and will be successful in the long run
Also, it didn’t work out so well
Thanks for showing me an interesting path, I am just reading the introduction to Lucretius’ poem, and I find it quite fascinating. It’s pretty embarrassing, that I know so little about the philosophical schools. I had 7 years Latin in school! But at least I have come a long way to be befriended with Materialism, so that’s a good start. I had just recently heard about the Gospel of Thomas, maybe that’s still a little too far out for me, but I will check out those links, too. How did you arrive here? PS: I do agree by the way, that the fear of superior intelligence destroying us, seems a very shallow thought. An artificial intelligence made in our current image could be disastrous, though. I am not sure whether the powers that be would allow a free thinking one.
Hey, thanks for the interesting read. Who was the group that brought forth the idea of our world being a copy of the one created in light by our ancestors (if I got that right). Was that a classical greek group as well? Could you link something to read? That would be great!
Interesting take. I‘m interested in what you see as an emerging game changer at the moment? Maybe I am too blind because of doomerism in the morning. Also, what‘s the ancient group claiming there was a original humanity before ours, whatever that means.?
Thanks! Nice to reminisce.
Haha, what’s this from again?
Cool! I‘d also see it as a compliment. That‘s why I was surprised that a fellow luddite would interpret it differently. Alas, it was just this little word that made us stumble. But yeah, the Luddites knew that machines weren‘t evil. But that they would be used to generate more profit and not to lessen their toil
yeah, let‘s get rid of this antiquated shit. I‘ll cut my legs off and copter out of this ridiculous set
ah, now I get it. You meant ostensible goal
Edit: I also had to look it up )
as a luddite you should know that automation‘s goal never was to save us from unwanted labour. But of course this would have to be accomplished first, before your second assumption can ever come true.
always has been
I think this is a good example:

when I open the last comment thread, the comments get pushed up, and I have to scroll a long time to get back to the original comment
Unfortunately I have a problem with expanding comments recently. If I am on the bottom of a comments page and I expand comments there, they expand up and not down. So I have to scroll up again, to find the beginning of that thread.
can you point to any signs justifying your optimistic thoughts?
so if I go to Britain, rob a home, take the loot out of the country and sell it there, it‘s all good?
I don‘t know, this description sounds more like her brain imploded
This has been going on for a while:
