Life's been awful for a lot of people for a really long time now. You never get the dignity you deserve. Nobody cares what you think, you don't get to choose so many things about your life, and other people seem to have all the power. You never get to see what your full potential could actually be.
We've reached the point where the decisions we have to make have eclipsed our abilities to make them.
Therefore, society isn't working. People are unconscionably being prevented from reaching their full potential. Everyone is stuck on survival mode - just clinging to anyone who just might have a solution. Surviving, not living.
People have no voice and freedom is becoming meaningless. Life, business, and politics have become just sequences of decisions within contexts mostly set up by other people.
And work and capitalism haven't really been meeting peoples' needs. Only a few seem to really benefit. People aren't able to live their dreams and they don't get to freely make the most important decisions in their lives. They never get to find out what their life could have been.
We're constantly forced to ask for permission, destroying our freedom and our dreams. We become ends to others' dreams instead of our own and those of the people we love and want to support.
And democracy is failing. Fascism is taking root. All the foundational systems of society are breaking down, and more and more technology isn't working for us - it's limiting us and pushing us apart. We're being depersonalized by bad tech and negative political processes. AI and technology are all inherently moral things, but we aren't demanding that they be pro-people.
¿How can we?
