As long as your survival depends on someone else finding your life profitable, you will never really be free. :/
@hypolite Corollary: As long as your survival depends on someone else finding your life profitable, you won't really be secure either. :/
@hypolite Not worrying about becoming homeless. :/
On the other hand, my current job field is very secure right now, but what about in 10, 25, 40 years when I may still have to work? What if environmental damage makes network computing unsustainable?
@hypolite Mmm, indeed. Seems the best bet to me would be a society that did it's best to preserve the freedom and security of it's constituents. But what do I know. :P
@hypolite Maybe we should encourage such people to find other ways to be great. :/
@hypolite Oh, certainly. But we can still provide morals and framework, and channel those impulses into less destructive ends. Thats the whole idea behind capitalism, after all, even if the promise is beginning to ring hollow. :/
@hypolite Well thats a lot easier - you wait for them to break the law and send them to jail. Not my preferred solution, but it does work. :/
@hypolite Then you need to make them stop being a legislator. In general, societies checks and balances need to be expanded and reinforced to prevent people from being able to abuse their power. It's a big job. :/
@hypolite not necessarily everybody - I think it's possible for it to be fairly robust. Will take so doing though. :/
@hypolite Ayep. That is indeed a problem that will need to be addressed. I'm feeling optimistic, though. I think we can do it. :/
