By the way, chocolate isn't produced in Africa.
Cocoa beans don't grow in Europe or North America.

Find the mistake.
Find the deception.

How many people realize that it is no longer a question of IF but of WHEN?

Oh yes.
I love them.

Pickles.

The development of the global primary energy consumption

Mondays. Fundays.

The only people who have a problem with "wokeness" (what does that really mean?) are the dominant assholes, exploiters, arrogant, super-rich people, and those who are only interested in power.

It would be pretty stupid if we could talk openly about everything and try to make ourselves more equal, little by little.

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."

Money quote is from Greg M. Epstein, a Harvard chaplain and author of a book about the rise of tech as a new religion. “What do cultish and fundamentalist religions often do?” he said. “They get people to ignore their common sense about problems in the here and now in order to focus their attention on some fantastical future.”

It would be quite quiet in the forest if only the best birds sang.

Public broadcasting was founded to prevent fascism.

So if public broadcasting now wants to restrict or even abolish it...

Very often, just a few percent, say ten percent, would be enough for a significant positive and lasting change of course. And I think many people would go along with these small changes in everyday life and lifestyle

But the loud, radical ideas and their screamers are making their voice heard.

They are stupid af.

That makes them Dangerous the more

Often, people buy something to feel something.

I suspect there are better ways to do that.

People only become assholes through manipulation by third parties. These third parties need to be collectively punched in the face.

People are basically good.

Tell me about western dominance.

"In 2024, China’s researchers filed 35,423 AI-related patent applications, more than 13 times the 2678 patents filed in total by the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Japan, and South Korea."

Humans. Basically good.

Hi from your holiday bed bug

The funny thing is that anger or even hatred are the fastest emotions to trigger action without much thinking. Actually, it's more of a reaction - reacting based on that hatred.

So, if I want to influence you easily and quickly, stirring up anger or creating hatred would be pretty much what I want before I manipulate you. All I really need is an enemy for that. Obviously, it's not you, me, and my friends.

*cough*

Be careful who's telling you what, friends.

Modern-day highwaymen.
Stealing from the majority,
behind their backs,
from their shadows.

I'm so sick of always knowing everything.

Going out, swimming and lying in the sun was an idea that Ida Icy didn't think was a good idea at the moment.

Life requires a certain amount of curiosity and exploration. Life is an open world game. It rewards you for exploring. And capitalism cannot fucking stand that. It wants you on rails. Capitalism wants you to earn the living that life has already granted you.

Out of interest. Would a project like Hubble, the Space Shuttle and many others ever have happened if back then, when decades before their final launch decisions needed to be made. Without dozens of controllers, bankers. Without billionair tech bro alphas
