Evil men facing consequences
Women too. Fuck ghislaine.
Critical thought.
That actually solves every other issue in this post.
Except empathy. You can still decide to keep people as slaves when it benefits you and you don't have empathy.
And braless women in tank tops
Dead billionaires
Hyraxes
Quiet spaces. Just sitting and breathing for a while is a valuable activity. It doesn't have to make money to be worth doing.
Cowbell.
But more seriously, empathy and an absolutely gigantic reduction in greed.

IN THIS WORLD, IT'S KILL, OR BE KILLED!
Less consumerism, more mindfulness.
Being able to get paid for something you truly enjoy doing so it doesn't feel like work at all, and actually be able to live on the pay you receive.
And like a lot of others have mentioned, empathy and kindness.

Tenderness. Where is the tenderness? Where is it?!
Tariffs...its tariffs right?
Wars?
Hatred?
Billionaires?
Pedo-kings?
Ok, I'm all out of ideas.

Thinking time.
The first mover advantage is so overwhelming in so many arenas. If we had the time to think we'd probably make much better decisions.
This is so true. I've realised that the root of my success is that I think about things more deeply and/or more often than pther people, and I'm more patient. I started to lose that part of myself and then started to fall behind. Now i'm on the path back, making my life less hectic andntrying not to fry my dopamine receptors
Chill.
