I really wish that these sorts of views didn't exist and people understood what the purpose of society was but then .... as a good friend said "capitalism tends to rot the brain" ->

X : This is fake?
Me : Try using the search function but that's not the point. The question you could ask is whether the person is fake but that still misses the point. The real question is whether such views exist. You already know the answer to that.

X : Examples?
Me : Spend some time with bitcoin extremists.
X : Do you mean bitcoin maximalists?
Me : Sorry, my mistake. Spend some time with bitcoin terrorists.

Me : Sorry, my mistake. Spend some time with bitcoin terrorists.
X : Why terrorists?
Me : Bitcoin is a weapon. A payload of laissez faire and a delivery mechanism of greed. The idea of market led everything with no government is about as dumb as you get. We've also tried it before, several times, with the same results - newrepublic.com/article/159662…

X : Communism has also failed.
Me : Communism sucks, same as Laissez faire. They're both extreme viewpoints peddled by people with extreme ideologies. Try using mixed methods i.e. treat the market and central planning as tools with appropriate contexts.

X : How do you do that?
Me : Well, obviously we need to up situational awareness a lot but before this we need to have a discussion on the balance between the ethics of care and the ethics of choice, society needs to discuss the balance between the We and the Me.

X : Is that happening?
Me : No. Not whilst some outrageously beneift and can keep others pre-occupied on scrambling to just make a living. This is why universal basic income is highly political, heaven help us if people had the chance to discuss how to create a fair society.

X : Any solutions?
Me : The greatest human to walk the earth told us how.
X : ?
Me : Martin Luther King. We need to become "maladjusted" -

X : Where to start?
Me : Already have.
X : ?
Me : On the 15th September, I will not engage with the market. I will give to my local community and I will apologise to my son for the society we have created -

X : One day?
Me : You have to start somewhere. Every journey starts with a single step.
X : Why apologise?
Me : We are the guardians of the future. We have created this society which is dominated by a focus on the self, on the individual. We shoulder the blame.
