We’re in a very tough spot. There are more humans alive today than have ever died. We want to keep everyone alive for obvious reasons and that means we’re going through resources fast. All the solutions are not pleasant. We need to choose a path:
1.live a more austere life and cut down on luxuries drastically for everyone.
2. Use the government to limit childbirth
Both are extremely unpleasant, but it’s going to need to happen or else nature will force both options in us and also add massive amounts of death.
To me, the late game is boring because it’s not as tactical as previous Diablo games. The view is so zoomed in and the enemies are so fast, numerous, and squishy that you basically just have to chew though the closest enemies. It’s not tactical or challenging. It’s either too easy or too hard and your skill doesn’t matter at all. I beat it once and don’t feel the urge to play it again.
Yes, the middle class benefits some form the current system. We want a system that benefits all. That doesn’t mean breaking the system for the people who live a comfortable life. It means making the system support a comfortable life for all.
And blaming them as a block is really stupid anyway because they don’t all vote lock step. These divisions along non-ideological divides are a silly distraction meant to keep people fighting people who are actually on the same side.
They do though. Neither one of them deserves your anger. Be angry at the people who actually set up the system that makes you poor. Not the middle class who has as much to blame as the poor.
Sure, if you want the extremely rich people who actually made you poor to write your narrative for them. Save your anger for the people who actually suppress wages and equity. Not people who just managed to carve out a middle class life by doing some job. Middle class people and poor people are much much closer in wealth to each other than middle class and the truly wealthy who rule this country.
It means you’re not poor if you can afford to go on a vacation that costs a few thousand dollars. That’s middle class. People have normalized lowering the standard of living associates with middle class, but being able to spend a few thousand dollars on a vacation is where the middle class should be and used to be.
Most of them aren’t rich. They’re middle class. The only reason you think most of them are rich is because of how a lot of the middle class has fallen into poverty. Don’t tear down the people that are still truly middle class.
The truly wealthy are a problem, but they’re a minority at burning man.
The tuvix debate is an offshoot of the the most important trek debate of all. “Who is the best captain?” We won’t let the fact that there is an obvious best captain get in the way of debating over it.
I can understand thinking Riven (Myst 2) was made to force people to buy a guide or call a hotline. It had some extremely challenging puzzles. It was bearable without a guide, but you had to really pay attention to everything. but Myst 1 didn’t have anything insane.
