It is the fundamental problem with Economics, it was the same in Greece back then and is the same rn. As long as we cherish money and wealth as the highest form of status in human society we will always end up in the same way, with a few rich ppl that determine your life based on their rules.
Economics isn’t necessarily a zero-sum game. But power is zero-sum. The more at the top, the less anywhere else. The fact is, wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. To understand the system, we need to understand the cycle.

And 3% have all the power and wealth to build a society that only works for them and also controlls all the competition then of course there is little incentive to be part of this 'rigged' game. This is multiplied by the pressures of AI. Lots of people will lose their jobs what are they going to do?

Muss ich gerade wieder an Mutti denken, wie ich als einziges Kind kurz nach Chernobyl im Sandkasten gespielt habe. Ja, war natürlich eine andere Zeit und wenn du damals keine Nachrichten gelesen oder gesehen hast wusstest du halt nicht was Fallout ist. Die Frage hat mich Jahrelang beschäftigt.
Es ist also keine SCHULD wie im Sinne von Sühne, sondern wie bei einem Computer-Update kommt neue Information dazu und plötzlich verändert sich unsere Bewertung und unsere Entscheidungen. Es war vorher nicht alles vollständig.

He should be in jail for treason or at tleast for misappropriating EU funds and as long as we pretend that we need a 'democratic process' to run it's course he can continue to run around in Europe and cause fires here and there and if you still do nothing you end up with this...

“I admit that freely. I did pass [intelligence] on to the Embassy of Israel.” Watch this striking clip from our documentary, ‘Night Flower: Inside AIPAC’s Fight for Influence,’ in which former AIPAC analyst Keith Weissman admits to passing intelligence to Israel. Watch: zeteo.com/p/watch-our-...
Awareness of the competition is part of the show. And I don't have to tell you what happens to humans if they are constantly told how bad they are, they are making mistakes and that the neighbours child is so much nicer to talk to. Love, overlooking faults and defects was never part of the project.
