I like to think there is more than change. When it comes down to it, the core of who I am is the same, but the "outside" has changed, and will continue to change. Not my physical self, but how I interact with people. My personality. I hope to become a better person. As per my own standards of what that is.

Anyway, these sorts of economics discussions strikes something deep inside me, about how I interact with other people. Nothing to do with money or anything so stupid/trivial.

Real wealth is something far more valuable. I need to call my grandmother.

Fuck that! Is there an r/grammar? Please tell me there is. This is worse than my brother in middle-school, who made paragraphs like this on purpose to infuriate the teachers he didn't like.

Lets teach the dude how to form fucking paragraphs first. THEN we can send him to psychotics anonymous.

This...actually sounds super interesting. I'm saving the link for when I sober up.

Though to be honest, I'm just looking at taking out my frustration. See, I love Capitalism. REAL Capitalism. Maybe it was listening to Humphy Bogart's speech in "Sabrina" when I watched it as a kid. Maybe it was having parents who were working-middle-class.

Because the concept of privilege, that is, "private law" [literal translation] is fucking wrong. Beyond that, mechanisms that keep the rich rich, and the poor poor, are also wrong. Both are a violation of capitalism.

Anyhoo I'm done. If I feel further on this topic I'll post in some other forum. Ignore me!

Feels like a waste of money. We already know that Russia can infiltrate cities like London with such ease that they can assassinate whoever they feel like, and even the throwaway agents goons they use get away scot free. It's like Philby all over again, the level of infiltration they've got going. [Sorry, couldn't resist the jab.]

And the advertising industry is notoriously corrupt.

Why launch a bunch of space junk, instead of calling old pal Murdoch and getting a cheap anti-anti-Russia campaign out to hundreds of millions of conservative media consuming voters across a dozen nations?

Pragmatic and nihilistic as I like to be, I support fusion for exactly the same reason I do space travel.

There's gotta be the remains of some civilisation, on some planet, somewhere in the universe, who made the "oh so logical" decision to abandon space travel, and to live of their star's waning rays instead of figuring out the mechanism behind them.

And I hope it's not us.

Obviously! But there's a labour shortage. You can't just throw money at stuff. (And I hate having to be an old man to realise this.)

Maybe AI dudes can help us by taking on some of the time-consuming and least requiring-of-a-person duties.
