I had a bit of a psychotic break recently when I saw that the way money flows is more determinative of any outcome than any relationship to the truth or ethics.

You can hope to opt-out your society at best, but then the rewards for remaining societies to go full-bore capitalist are greater.

You can’t beat the system and the human race is doomed. Cephalopods are the future.

It’s a good goal, but not in a competitive world where you can be occupied/exploited… We had a series of small successful small societies all around the world and they were crushed by colonialism.

We’ve done this. The people in charge of the killing are the new kings.

Not saying it’ll yield a worse situation, tho.
