Those of us who have various resources should share them. Basic empathy & understanding others shouldn’t have to be taught.
That’s not socialism. It’s equity.
Call it what you like but a UBI is funded through what?
A voluntary fund of some sort?
-Or-
A tax?
You’re conflating what a family or small tribe of people do out of generosity with a state mandated tax.
This is definitely called socialism/communism.
Works just fine at a family or tribal level but it doesn’t scale up.
Name a country that has made it work.
but this time it will work! i'm sure!
Fair enough, I need to clarify my statement better. Choosing proper words matter. 🫡 Appreciated.
Online communities offer humanity the opportunity to speak 🗣️ with others about best practices. They are broken down more by #WOT .
In emergency situations: humans often band together to help one another. That’s been proven multiple times.
It’s not my goal to tax people.
My vision is of smaller groups creating a circular economy. #v4v plays into this equation. Some will always choose to exploit others & their “friends” or “tribesmen” *should* hold them accountable.
Humans are already divided into groups or “tribes” & have their differences. More of a circular economy.
Self-sovereign is spoken on here often.
What it means online versus offline may help me verbalize it best. Truly. I’ll consider this more.
thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I love this. this is why I love nostr.
just for the record, I totally agree with your last reply.
Heres a rational hierarchy of govt thought up by someone much smarter than I am. curious your thoughts.
The Happiest Countries in the world have a:
Nationa/Federal Govt that is Libertarian
State Govt is Conservative
City Govt is Liberal
Family/Tribal (Church) is Socialistic
You’re welcome. Appreciate the kind dialogue too.
Many look to history to decide what would dictate happiest countries.
While the list given may be appropriate historically: I would need to consider what current situation is.
With the internet the world swiftly changed.
The rise of #AI will bring various narrative warfare campaigns targeted towards humanity unlike anything in recorded history.
From who the messaging comes & their intent matter.
So far, it’s not looking good.
Information warfare will continue.
Must consider this as I question how #AI is being used in such circumstances & countries.
Immediate thoughts:
Main imports & exports
Education
Work/life balance
Is there a brain-drain & if so: why?
Military spending, nuclear weapons
Allies
There are many others things I’m not immediately thinking of. 🤣
I believe in the #USA many have been brainwashed, dumbed down, malnourished & lack spiritual awareness & self-reflection. This will need to be addressed but not sure how yet. Nor in the proper order.
Woof man 👨 Thanks for getting me to use my brain 🧠 again. 🤣
Sincerely, I’ve been told before I’m too bottom line up front sometimes so thanks for understanding.
