If that is the case then it is time to fold up shop and start anew. Our system is broken and that is the onlyplus side of Trump. He is magnifying the holes.
What plus? I'm not seeing one. Every system has weak points, my friend. Exploiting them doesn't make life better. It's not like we didn't know...
Weak points shouldn't be in a societal system. Checks and balances work when the people have a way to enforce it. Looking around, I don't see any.
Shouldn't, but we don't live in an ideal world. Show me one society without corruption and I'll show you a fairytale.
Except that's exactly what Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Andressen, Yarvin and the Trump regime want. I think the system is good. I think the people need to exercise their rights to Checks and balances.
The system created Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Andressen. The Supreme court allowed citizens united. The system allowed companies to poison our environment. Seems the system is working as intended.
So Maybe, the great filter isn't nuclear war, maybe it isn't falling birthrates, maybe it isn't climate change. Maybe the great filter is money?
And getting rid of the two party system is the answer. Maybe in 1796 when there was 35,726 voters it worked. Money is only a part of the problem.
Power is filter too. The same reason we don't correct the police in the U.S.
and where does power and influence come from? It's The accrueation of capital.
It's capitalism, so, no it's not good.
We already live in a post capitalist society. We are the capital that generates the data points using their smart devices which they use to profile and socially engineer us. You are the product. Welcome to Techno feudalism.
