Stop asking the Ukrainian president stupid, loaded, victim-blaming questions. There is nothing Ukraine can do for peace besides defeating Russia. Russia rejects peace and compromise and it offers only full occupation or complete domination.

I'm very eager to read this. And wrestle with it. And probably disagree with a premise or two. But then use it. And then write about it.

Always amazes me that our civilization is incapable of moving beyond the labour materialist paradigm of the past 5000 years. We are sending starships to Mars but can’t redesign the foundations of our economy along Keynes’ vision. David Graeber was a visionary here. We could have fully automated luxury libertarian socialism with a strong UBI. The technology exists.
If you wonder why every Gen Z guy is trying to be a YouTube streamer or attempting 1% lottery schemes (or worse, addicted to gambling), it’s because everyone is trying to escape the collapsing job market.
