Only if you were the one to punch them? lol

You could certainly massage Grist into something that checks most of those boxes might have to get creative with widget fields to have people mark themselves as active on a given task. But similar to some advanced notion templates databases can back end most anything you can think of!

Awesome list of content!

Have you come across any good blog style guides or references? I love a good video tutorial but going through the rust book has me wishing there were better documentation for some game dev concepts 😅

Unfortunately going to be similar situations everywhere the economic model requires contribution to function, as median ages climb less people are net contributors.

It’s kind of just kicking capitalisms collapse can down the road

trend line

Hey megaman sounds like you could use a creative hobby rather than a consumptive one! There are lots of foss tools out there for making video games if that’s your primary interest!

You should check out some indie titles for inspiration and take a crack at learning some of the skills involved with making a game could be fulfilling and potentially financially rewarding down the road at the same time!

Cheers 🍻 I hope you are able to get a fresh perspective and get off Microsoft’s dopamine drip feed cause it ain’t it my guy.

lol! Alpha state late stage capitalism upgrade to beta after the next reset!

Wait until you learn about passive indexes where the logic is you give me money = buy and then factor in the volume of assets under management in that cycle. Then take a look at retirement age and global average age trending closer towards retirement age lol do the math on that one

Op take a look at your other habits big and small with special attention offered to contemplating how compulsive they are / what triggers a craving etc.

If you want a good read related to the area dopamine nation has a mix of thoughtful interpretation and some valuable anecdotal experience for reference!

When you think about the percentage of corporate evaluations that are construed of intangible assets it gives me some hope that it’ll topple more like jenga than the bottom of a pyramid 😅

What’s your take on our current markets trajectory when considering a globally aging population with a disproportionate share of wealth / participants heading towards being net beneficiaries rather than contributors?

Personally I’m leaning toward inevitable collapse before you even attempt to factor geopolitical stability into the equation lol

The land grabs and foreshadowing with focus on extractive and tangible economic development gives me a sense that some state actors also see similar writing on the wall .

Curious on your thoughts :) thank you for the responses!

Thank you for the validation!

Do you have any recommendations on equitable policy we should champion? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Imports and immigration are just passing the burden of the shit jobs onto other undeserving populations capitalism still grinds away just out of sight.

automation is viable but when it’s implemented in a way that reduces manufacturing cost to increase shareholder value it fails to improve standard of living for those who don’t share in the value.

It really boils down to our reliance on private equity to support our open market economy. private equity’s goals don’t align with public good and ubi doesn’t make that go away

Please refer to our aging population and labour shortage for the pain points of people choosing better jobs like it sounds good in a vacuum but it really doesn’t hold up as a silver bullet.

It’s not so much they’re corrupt it’s just how markets are designed to flow from consumers to businesses.. they are relentlessly efficient and exploit human ignorance by design any increase in demand will drive increase in labour wanted if they can’t get someone here to make it what have they done so far? Go elsewhere to do it cheaper lol

Please reconsider your example of tax sales with the perspective of a pressure sales tactic designed to extract the extra income from “consumers” lol

Who are woefully undereducated in how to manage their money. When you think about those who are most vulnerable financially your proposal misses the point of the value of a basic income program :(

Can you reword your response to the scale of a country rather than an individual?

Primarily how basic income would increase competition for labour? Stating an anecdotal scenario where you have more opportunity is a nice thought but does little to support or dispose the proposal

I can appreciate the sentiment of wanting to give back to community when you’re grateful and many people do donate and volunteer their time for such causes.

Your point that it could remove the need for minimum wage is a scary thought when you consider the corporate obligation to maximize investor returns.

When you look at housing as a cash flow expenditure that most people pay in perpetuity the only defining factor being who’s name is on the mortgage the whole thing is criminal lol

I understand the principle behind the concept but believe it lacks depth and is a bandaid for a systemic problem. If you’re struggling to make ends meet there’s been a failure giving you more money isn’t going to solve.

You’re 100% right the cost of living is far to broad to make assumptions about which areas it would impact at scale but the net idea of you increase monetary supply and capitalism does what it does best.

It sounds good in a vacuum but when you take a step back and think about it in aggregate at national scale with monopolistic national supply chains that are poorly regulated I might add see fixing the price of bread 😂 it’s going to be something we can pat ourselves on the back for but is a big nothing burger :(

Thank you for your comment. I’m confident a towns economic capacity is of no consequence to the interconnected nature of national economics unfortunately. But am also woefully ignorant lol

Hi friends I didn’t actually click the link so my skepticism may be unfounded. But I have a few concerns open to criticism or validation lol

In a primarily private sector “market” supply chain etc does basic income not just put downward pressure on wages in the form of a pseudo business subsidy ick.

Or if everyone has the same level of income before labour income **without pricing control **we end up just raising the floor on the cost of living? Sure there are long tails where only nice to have things get more expensive but in aggregate.

I’m 100% for wealth redistribution and believe heavily in public goods so please don’t at me as a capitalist pig 🐽. Maybe I’m missing the mark but adding more money into our under served areas of society without thoughtful discussion about financial literacy and about where that money inevitability ends up we’ve already lost the plot on the program lol

Thank you if you made it to the end of my poorly punctuated run on mess ❤️

Thank you for the thoughtful response. It clearly draws the path of compulsive behaviours and its certainly true what is perceived as good or bad is a moving target based on societal norms and we’re more often faced with the illusion of agency rather than true power over our actions.

If you’re interested in challenging your view I’d invite you to look into psychology revolving around recovering addicts. There is some very interesting information there. More often than not it the self reinforcing pathways that que cravings never go away but buy making changes to some of the areas you mentioned that compel the neurons to fire ie their “environment” they’re able to manipulate their physical behaviour to ones that better align with their sense of self.

Agreed the bag of worms we’re wading into is a challenging one but we must acknowledge that individuals can have competing motivations that trace down to the biological functions that reinforce them. Which ones win out can be manipulated by internal and external influences.

Thank you for indulging me it’s fun to RP as someone who could participate in philosophical discussion
