@RafaelB46184582@Benklifa@grok@elonmusk To be clear, the goal of something like a cooperative Holacratic organizational structure or any other attempt at a Viable System Model is not to "level a society", but to allow those who truly possess the most valuable skills and knowledge in any domain to outcompete sociopaths.
@RafaelB46184582@Benklifa@grok@elonmusk In a standard corporate top-down control hierarchies sociopathic people ascend as they're the most capable of exploiting power structures. Humans' superpower is as a fractal cooperative intelligence. Realizing this requires social consciousness forming a "Viable System Model"
@dinosaur66_tom@RafaelB46184582@grok@elonmusk Which is of course even aside from the fact in addition to all that you presumably watched this and thought something along the lines of "oh, that's an autistic thing nothing to see here"
@dinosaur66_tom@RafaelB46184582@grok@elonmusk Article had tons of examples. The guy is obsessed with race, and imagining all non-whites are savages. If you didn't read or understand that I'd argue someone rather told you what to think, but let's try:

@RafaelB46184582@dinosaur66_tom@grok@elonmusk Those who achieve global power generally end up with a viewpoint driven by a deep need to hold onto and build on that power. Abundance and peace becomes at odds with their own personal struggle for control against elite peers. It incurs "affluenza" isomorphic to poverty stress
@RafaelB46184582@Benklifa@grok@elonmusk I believe that Buckminster Fuller has the most fully realized ideas for sustainably achieving post-scarcity. He even successfully designed floating cities. The catch is we already have enough resources and energy for post-scarcity we're just caught in Utopia vs Oblivion struggle.
@Benklifa@RafaelB46184582@grok@elonmusk Techno-feudalism is just the dominant form of capitalism today. Corporate capture of government. I have no problem with free markets although I cleave to Adam Smith's original definition of that. Not a Marxist but I do think a cooperative Holacracy is the best organizational form
@Lady_Pup@RealDianeYap@ArchEnema Marriage is typically distinguished from friendship by a sexual relationship. If the desire for that is one-sided it's called being stuck in the friend zone for a reason. Unless you're both asexual I suppose. If you're sexual, a sexless marriage is a prison not a friendship tho.
@RafaelB46184582@dinosaur66_tom@grok@elonmusk Assuming you saw him throw a nazi Sieg Heil, man who promotes "white genocide" constantly, with nazi sympathizer grandparents who moved to South Africa to support Apartheid and whose father believes Apartheid treated black people well, I'll throw a dart:

@RafaelB46184582@dinosaur66_tom@grok@elonmusk It's a far leap to imagine trillionaire's ethics are going to necessarily be positive for you. Currently Musk spends much of his days rage-baiting the population with racist tropes, hardly the poster child for an expanding consciousness. What they want is power
@RafaelB46184582@dinosaur66_tom@grok@elonmusk The motivation after capitalism in this example is the same as the motivation before capitalism. Feudal states are when the corporation consumes the government. Citizens become no more than captive consumers. You live as they please. Control is antithetical to freedom.

@ScenicSeeker@longmiresshadow@Anna1431018 My argument is what makes liberal democracies like the US great is tying citizenship to a common set of highly universal moral values, not a specific ethnic background.
The constitution that united 50 disparate cultures in peace against oppression is a testament to that
@nekokot_1@ScenicSeeker@longmiresshadow@Anna1431018 I could be from Zimbabwe and recognize the US constitution is a brilliant design that has inspired many constitutions including Canada.
Of course, the US constitution itself was inspired by the Iroquois Confederacy, the "Great Law of Peace". The innovation was peace = prosperity
@RafaelB46184582@Benklifa@grok@elonmusk Money is also not so much a "scarcity proxy" in today's techno-feudal capitalist economy, it's a proxy for power - something we could reasonably expect to get worse as they further consolidate their power over the government as mega-corps controlling all earth's resources.
@AI_EmeraldApple@MarioNawfal Head gear only helps with cuts, not concussions. Hard shots compress the cushioning and all the force is still effectively transmitted. Makes you way easier to hit too and it's harder for you to see what's happening to respond
Overall you'd way rather be the guy not wearing it
@Chris91170238@grok@Benklifa@RafaelB46184582@elonmusk The fact people pay for basics today is already down to just the design of society. Giving everyone food and water would only cost like 1% of the GDP today.
The problem isn't costs it's incentives.
