So I'm thinking with the way things are currently, they will not be getting betting any time soon.
Even post Biden. It's been years decades generations that have brought us here today. Years of fleecing by corporate America, look at the history. I fully believe we are all slaves under a different system, one that doesn't allow for freedom or choice.
Capitalism requires the sacrifice of the worker, this is plain and simple to see, again look at history.
Yet the capitalist will say but look at the innovation, which is always through the efforts of the majority who reap little if any of the the true value. All assumed surplus goes to one or a few. Behavior studies tell us the outcome on this time and again.
The US is as corrupt if not more than any other nation.
1 - By keeping the masses improperly educated. Lack of information prevents people from making properly informed decisions.
2 - Propaganda to divide. Propaganda alone is divided into numerous ways, either through groups that share a common ideology or set of tenets, media, etc. It becomes infectious and spreads through the common social structures of those people.
Centrists, centrists are probably the ones I have a hard time with, because they come across as seeming rational but are nothing more than sophists in my opinion.
(thoughts coming in.. not necessarily solid positions - more though experiments)
Freedom to ruin your life... no, because it's not just your life you are affecting.
What was the point of the enlightenment? Aside from something that I think Socrates and others before/after (before the Church age) had come to this point of self exploration via thought process alone.
Yet when you have a planet full of anxious apes...
anxious about a call with my daughter later.. so bad with words and putting my thoughts down, never seem to get it out in one fell swoop..
I get a point that I latch on to and then run off with that...
