So this ghoul just wants a company town without saying it’s a company town.

Advanced recycling was always a greenwash term for we want to burn plastic with extra steps

I don’t think it’s a simulation. If it was, I don’t think it mattered unless I had some amount of control. Which might be why the simulation idea is taking off, people lacking control over their livelihoods.

I’ve had conversations about socialism with people in my life who are well meaning. The thing I have found to work is to avoid using surface level words like “proletariat, socialism, etc.” This is to avoid the thought terminating reaction they have to hearing red scare words.

Most people have hardships and struggles caused by capitalism, but they’ve been led to believe it’s their fault or that the right flavor of capitalism isn’t being used. My method is to talk about why those hardships may be happening due to capitalism, without saying the words “capitalism or ruling class”. This allows them to listen and think over the concept that capitalism is destroying their livelihood, without recoiling and entrenching their position further.

I think that my senses can be backed up by empirical and reproducible evidence.

If i dont want to burn my hand, I can measure the objects temperature. Even if I don’t trust my reasoning and senses, a hot object will still burn me. I could have no senses to perceive the outside world, and I would still be burned by that object.

The reason I know I will get burned is not based on an absolute knowledge of how hot that object is, but that I and others have been burned before. The evidence is reproducible and most everyone agrees that a hot object will burn them.

Waste of money, which is a finite resource.

You are calling a self sustaining energy technology a waste of money, which is inherently a made up resource. Go be a downer somewhere else.

An ASCII image that says “Help.”

The government giving out money to people so that they could stay housed/fed did not cause record inflation. The capitalists massively hiked prices, then said that inflation made them do it. They then declared record profits afterwards. Capitalists scooped up all that money with ease. They then did their little song and dance of, “We’re all in this together. We’re just widdle beans trying to survive like you.”

If the government doing stuff for people over a 2 year period causes massive amounts of inflation, wouldn’t decades of handouts to capitalists cause record hyper-inflation? Inflation doesn’t happen because the government does stuff. Inflation happens because capitalists will pounce on any opportunity to eek more money out of you, then blame you for having too much money.

Use a rubber bulb on the end of the pipette. That way your cartel members lab techs are safe.

They are using their mouths to suck liquids into pipettes. It was an old and dangerous lab technique.

Wow, what inciteful and valuable commentary you’ve added.

No need to jump in a conversation fists swinging.
