Honestly? Nyeeeeh. It’s smooth, sure. But cool? Ehhh. When you say it out loud, it still sounds like “NB”. I’m not non binary, but if I was, I wouldn’t want my identity associated with just two letters.

Here’s a proposal. “Themian”.

“I’m Themian. I exist everywhere but nowhere. My existence is not confined to any realm. I can transcend realms at will.”

Oof… Hah I guess we should just say “thems” or the “themians”, eh? Way cool sounding and smoother than “non binary” or “NB”. “Enby” is smooth, but doesn’t sound that cool.

“Themians”. Oooh, now that sounds other worldly. I ought to propose this name change to the Themian council now, huh.

Can we please use NB instead of “enby”? When I was like 12, I thought enby = ebony = black people. So for quite some time, I thought that black people were just NB naturally (I was in a country where I had zero exposure whatsoever to black folk).

Also, happy non binary people’s day <333

While he was my introduction to the leftist political space, I never understood why he was so intellectually lazy. I’ve never seen him actually research something, learn something and so on. He just now looks like an entertainer, or a cheerleader instead of someone actually willing to engage in good faith convos.

As “trains”? Lol would’ve been peak [email protected]

Thanks for the writeup! Interesting project indeed!

If he was alive, he should have rights too. However, he should be in a facility that doesn’t let him out. His existence out in society, communication with society is all a massive threat to society.

Rant time.

Wealth taxes aren’t the best. They can very very easily be dodged. Also, enforcement is expensive (as you need someone to sit calculating wealth). Also, deadweight loss is super high.

In my opinion, wealth inequality shouldn’t be higher than a certain limit. Wealth taxes shouldn’t HAVE to exist. Wanting them to exist is like trying to use a bandaid to put out a fire.

Instead, imo, the best way to reduce wealth inequality should be through the existence of consumer cooperatives and worker unions.

Most wealthy people become wealthy through equity ownership of businesses. The equity ownership gives them control (generally) over the business’s ability to allocate resources. This control is what makes them rich.

If this control was instead democratic, the members of the cooperative would be richer.

I’m in Canada and can attest to this. Consumer cooperatives (like credit unions I bank with), cooperative federations (like the one my family gets insurance from), the coop we get electricity from and so on. Almost always, we come out on top financially (compared to if we decided to go with a non coop alternative).
