Damn right:D

I was just saying yesterday that we (Finland) could take the bullet and create a luxury resort for all the zillionaires in the world. Connect them with each other and populate thei…

We're afraid of the zillionaire tantrums, thus this should be a coordinated effort. I'm seeing it from both sides of the isles that people are being fed up with the overlords. But …

Yup. Make the flyers pay the infrastructure costs based on the environmental effects. It's not too complicated.

Most people on the planet can avoid flying alright. The addicts cannot? Or who cannot? Anyone with money cannot? Homo fricking economicus for you alright.

Yes! Why bother doing anything differently, when the current method has been so perfect for us

Sadly these days this seems like the least worse of the three major regimes.

Root cause is the human biases and lying due to cognitive dissonance? And alcohol is a symptom that's easy to grasp. You’re talking about waterfall management by laws and I’m talki…

Yes. 100 percent agree. The addiction industry requires us to be desperate and wanting an escape, so that they can brainwash us into complicity and brain fog from hangover or dooms…

Escape can be done with a lot of things, most of those aren't as harmful as alcohol. Even in substances there are some with very light harms compared to ethanol, but "this is what …

Banning something that has so huge disadvantages, but has been lobbied just like cigarettes is exactly the kind of society I want to live in. But the choice is not mine, so in that…

I'm tempted to start the full deontology and Jellinek model on substance abuse on this, but don't have the effort now. If we perform a cost benefit analysis on alcohol the downside…

And the substance abuse is a progressive lying disease so once we figure out "this has gone too far" the threshold for abuse has been crossed a long time ago in most cases. First t…

This. In a healthy society there would be no need for intoxicants with so severe harms (BBC list for substances by harm is a good reference) and thus no exposure for a addictive su…

Well said here. We don't have a honest discussion about the progression of addiction so the choices are not visible, until later. The first beer is the most critical choice, yet it…

Seems legit.

Based on what Sarah Wynn-Williams told about Zuck and what we've seen a lot of these state out loud (and know a lot more that have exrepessed this in private) seems that the societ…

"If you don't wanna play with our rules, you probably won't do business within our jurisdiction".

Bill Hicks had a good advice to the marketing guys: "kill yourself" so I you're onto something here!

Human being, with very few exceptions, is corrupted by power. And a billion dollars is immense amount power. You can make your opponent's life a living hell with a hundred thousand…

Correct once again it seems.

In the times of metacrisis and power concentrated in the hands of few who actively try to fry the world I think what we need is the exact opposite of that. That is what we've had m…

I was just gathering a list of global top hundred with their influence relevant spending and boy that was not a pretty sight. At least in terms of normal people.

I'm tempted to support this notion.
