I want to suggest the most likely origin for this vigorous instinct:

We are all a product that is to say survivors of a brood of offspring, each struggling to get its portion of worms or meat or mother’s teat to nourish our ourselves. The offspring that had a very strong instinct to make sure it got enough to eat are the ones most likely to survive.

This is why so many species have this remarkable instinct down to the milligram of whether or not they’re getting as much as somebody else.

On fairness

Behavioral scientists have tested all sorts of species from monkeys to dogs to cats to birds to understand if they have a sense of fairness. The results are quite remarkable all sorts of species have an intrinsic sense of fairness. They know when they’re getting something less than somebody else.

I had the privilege of being in Washington DC while the Smithsonian was celebrating the 25th anniversary of Star Trek.

Exhibits featured an interview with Nichols explaining how her character got on to the bridge. The light in her eyes as she explained that Roddenberry converted a political loss with executives into a victory. They were feeling magnanimous and agree afterwards when said he wanted to make a minor change to the bridge to add a little color to it.

As it should be. The rest of the world would be foolish to imagine that an election restores, democracy, or even reestablish his faith in a sense of propriety.

Americans a huge proportion of Americans voted Donald Trump out of office because life is economically worse off them because of his incompetence and corruption. This doesn’t do a darn thing about the moral abomination of A federal government that is a little more than a human trafficking organization now

Would just casually pass on people’s information to a random business environment.

It doesn’t make any sense to me. Granted, right now the federal government has been repurposed into a gigantic human trafficking organization.

Yet somehow we’re supposed to believe that Google is a responsible keeper of our information. Please

So I received a little pushback on the idea that Google should be nationalized and it should be broken up with the assertion that breaking up Google will necessarily farm aisle, all sorts of private data and risk exposing everyone it has knowledge of identity, theft, or something like that.

It’s a little strange because the premises that the government something that used to keep all sorts of sensitive personal records like tax or health information..

I keep saying the thing to do is to start completely different internet, organized by municipal libraries and federated. A city would run access to the internet and web hosting services for residents only.

Because it is very clear that tech companies are a law and a government onto themselves stuck right in the middle of the United States

You might know people who would want to take advantage of this

Data centers hog a lot of energy and resources :thinking_rotate:

“ An important prediction of this theory is that increases in energy consumption are associated with a general increase in social hierarchy, meaning power is concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people. “

Make evil evil again.
Make greed wrong again.
Make avarice wrong again.
Make lying wrong again (false witness)
Makes assault wrong again.

We need to take our moral standards back away from the crazy pedophiles and creepy pastors
