Vladimer Lenin: The individual interest must be subordinated to the interests of the collective.
Joseph Stalin: The strength of socialism lies in collectivism. Individualism is a remnant of the bourgeois past.
Fidel Castro: The revolution demands that we think not as individuals, but as a collective people.

Just trying to be sure. The lines you’re using - they direct quotes?
The first one is supposedly said by Henri Fayol.
Second one is Kim Jong Il
Third is Marx.
Just did a quick google search.
So not really improving the company (though I don’t know anything about Henri Fayol) and makes your point.
Actually I think we’ve learned they do open themselves. Just incentive them with state and federal funding and they appear. :D
Well first you have to demonstrate something like it is possible - which is where I run into trouble. If it is better people will begin to move. But for some reason people won’t leave a sinking ship for fear the next ship is somehow even worse.
Dumb Question: if Jack Dorsey built Twitter, which then turned into X - then created Bluesky and is now locking down blue sky.
Is what he is doing with Bitcoin with Square actually a good thing?
Or we just so blinded by what Bitcoin could be that we are missing something?
Perhaps.
I do find it funny those that promote individual sovereignty the most also push that there is a certain way to live. We are all contradictions.
Respect the work you all do.
We see things a little differently.
I believe in something else that I can’t explain. But I respectfully disagree. Maybe something will change in the future. But I’m happy and confident with where my feet and mind are now. Wishing you and your family the best.
I agree with you and disagree. My fiance doesn’t want children. I am indifferent. And what I’ll say is - if you want to see things improve. Fewer people having kids is a net positive. Think of it like one step back to take two steps forward, if we don’t eff it up before then.
Sounds weird to apply to reproduction - but we desperately need to take a step back and rediscover ourselves.
So don’t be mean to those that are just here temporarily. Just let em be. Just focus on laying the groundwork for others to not repeat our mistakes.
As a fellow Sam, I find this pattern interesting. Especially since their last names also seem to on the nose for what they did/do as well.
I think you’re seeing the feedback loop of Millennials, Gen Z, and immigrants who were sold an American dream. It’s actually pretty incredible to see it conspire this way.
But the hardcore capitalists don’t see the failing monetary system as the problem either. It’s very weird.
No one is speaking the same language and no one knows the root causes. They are reacting to the surface level consequences. Fascinating to watch.
I keep saying this out loud and I only get blank stares.
But why display hope, decency and action when you can display helplessness at the inevitability of our demise?
I would argue that leftism has aspects of the natural order. Because I think Alan Watts would agree there is no order, it just is.
But it’s within the extremes we find the dissidents. And for whatever reason we hyper focus on our extremes.
My personal take. “Leftism” and “Rightism” both contain the dichotomy. And currently the “devil” or “away from god” side is winning in both sides. Just because one preaches words - doesn’t mean their actions are aligned.
Is it the plastic bottle squeeze and the cheap probably not real olive oil? Or olive oil in general?
A few weeks ago I ordered my first #holdbutter by nostr:npub1uzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usy9qtrh. Ate it all in 2 days like it was ice cream. So I just ordered 2 more.
Any resources you recommend watching/reading if you aren’t a developer and know very little and are interested looking into it?
If you have an AMC near you (and a free account). Tuesday and Wednesday’s are 50% off.
Otherwise, it’s insane. I love the movies and what they’ve done to it is embarrassing.
Keep telling my family that and I get yelled at/dismissed for being apathetic.
Oh man.
It’s a whole conspiracy - WB paying a bunch of people for positive reviews. Bots (like the pocket universe monkeys).
When you see the movie and then the scores - I begin to buy into the conspiracy.
I like to pretend we already do live in a timechain and that the last block has already been mined and we are desperately trying to find equilibrium and build a new timechain before we self destruct. Makes the story more interesting vs having a bunch of incompetent people doing things.
I’m still trying to navigate it. I got on awhile ago, but recent events made me want to find a quieter space on the web. So now I’m here more.
Any advice on how to get more out of Nostr?
There are still some nice people and good food. So it’s not all bad. But I get what you mean.
Does anyone else find humor in the craziness of the world?
Because the longer I look and think about it, it just gets funnier.
At some point it will stop being funny and be very real and be miserable. Until then I’d rather enjoy it.
