Those are just the games they play when they have wealth beyond an imagination of that number being consequential. They don't lose enough to change their status or power. Even when they spend it they just turn it into debt. The bank is happy at 3-5% interest and if you make 7-10% on that borrowed money then blowing the difference doesn't impact you at all.

Rojava/DNAS has some good ideas.
I think there will be a sudden abundance when food waste is distributed instead of landfilled, housing is rent free and not locked away as an investment.
Most of the systems that make society function are already not profit motivated so most will continue to function in transition. We see this happen every natural disaster, the workers of a critical facility sticking through because their work is meaningful.
Won't be totally comfortable but i disagree with the opinion it will be a death sentence for many.
If it's windows it's telemetry or MS Office, try watching network usage and blocking MS processes, they don't need the constant connection anyway and your PC will run faster. If it's Linux you might want to check on that and fix it (real shit).
Really? Cheese DRM? What's next, they hit you with a DMCA claiming it's nacho cheeze?
Wolf populations were functionally controlling deer population as late as 200years ago. They were hunted for pelts and to prevent culling of stock/farm animals. Of course this varies geographically but is absolutely the case in north America.
I agree that it can be annoying to talk to a particularly militant began but the same is true for any ethos/identity.
devastated by"? Please do give an example
A good example of human intervention devastating a population when discussing the devastation of the wolf population would be humans devastating the wolf population. 🤷
The wolves aren't a tool for managing deer populations. Sure they would help, but if deer population and vegetation is the concern then they're part of the overall management strategy. Wolves prey on many animals.
our ancestors went and replaced wolves ... bringing them back ... not good for the wolves
Umm yeah I'm going to stand firmly on the platform that wild populations that were devastated by human intervention benefit from the alleviation of that devastation.
I realized it was causing a lot of anxiety for me. Easy quit after that because the reward was less anxiety after a few days.
This would suggest the leadership positions aren't required for the function of the business.

Eh fair. You might be right, i might be getting worn down by the trolls. Which i guess is their goal...


Having done the experiment I can say from experience that this is the case. I wouldn't give up the life I'm living but i would love to also experience that one, and all the other ones in between.
