@JohnsonBruner12 4. in summation - the satisfaction of human 'desires' is NOT a justification for the 'rich man' to continue operating within a system that benefits only the rich man and those with the money to afford their survival and thus have time and luxury to indulge in 'desires' when more than 3 billion people are starving in order to keep this 'system' afloat - while oil and rare earths are depleted not for betterment of ALL (rich AND poor) but for mere consumerism.

@JoeKouFullCircle 3. your analogy is a justification that allows the continued exploitation of the greater majority of humans as well as the environment - the poor are not masses that are meant to support the 'rich man' - the rich man is nothing without money and money only exists as a value when it is scarce - thus the 'rich man' MUST enslave the poor by design of this monetary illusion and deny at all costs the ability of the 'poor' to stand equal

@JoeKouFullCircle 2. ROBOTS have desires - humans have requirements. a 'human' is not desire - a human is a physical body that is manifest here in the physical world - a robot is a system operating by it's programming - thus our emotions/thoughts/opinions/des
ires are the programming of the human 'robot' - but we become so defined by these emotions and desires that we actually fight for our 'right' for happiness at the expense of providing the basic requirements of all humans - -
@JohnsonBruner12 1. again - slow down and look at the PHYSICAL relationships that must exist for the world to function the way it does now - if you were born in the ghettos of Somalia, you have absolutely no access to anything that will allow you to have a dignified and effective living - this is not because you are 'poor' - every human is born into this world essentially the same human with the same physical design - 'poor' is a symptom imposed by our collective acceptance -

The more welfare and "safety net" the more people contract and become less fully alive and zombie-like. Life is about challenges and the stretching and growth that come as a result of facing those challenges. People are now more and more protected from facing life's challenges. As a result they are less alive than they would have been. Challenges result in growth and progress. Being protected from challenges is atrophy and death.

@carcabe here we have to understand what is proposed - this is not a 'safety net' - this is about stopping the insipid idea that our basic human needs are commodities to be sold and restricted instead of being a resource that is the right of every living and breathing human. being laid off and forced onto welfare because our current system of consumption and 'eternal growth' is collapsing is not one of 'life's challenges' - it is a symptom of a flawed ideology. - continued -

@carcabe the 'zombie-like' nature that you are referring to is not a result of a welfare system - but a symptom of a social structure that systematically excludes people who do not already have money, education, and health and makes it increasingly difficult for one to be socially mobile if even ONE of these conditions is not in place - we make it EASIER to give up and stay on welfare than to succeed and expand as a person and then we blame those we refuse to support for 'laziness'.

There is no human dignity in living off of other people. Wake up to the real world. There are MILLIONS and MILLIONS who are bored and up to no good. Don't know what planet you live on. Parasites are parasites. Parasitism does not promote productivity or creativity. Dependence and parasitism equals a slow death. A living death.

@carcabe yes parasites are parasites - like the small number of humans who are now able to live llifestyles that can only be provided by maintaining a massive population of wage slaves. there are BILLIONS of people who are deliberately kept from market participation and access to BASIC human dignity - they are not 'bored and up to no good' - they are working more hours, in worse conditions, and live with far less than the small number of 'monied' humans.

3.
“To eliminate exploitation”: or more accurately, the poor man’s awareness of exploitation, the rich man must focus on (pay attention to) not the poor but focus on islands of opportunity who need supplies to live. When the rich man starts anew sailing, moving from one island to another fulfilling the needs of his customers he will regain awareness of his presence, progress & value within the lives of others & thus within the environment in general.
The Rich man is one's own Being!

@JohnsonBruner12 what you have shared in this analogy is a metaphoric and philosophical perspective that does not actually match up with physical reality- your words 'sound nice' but have not considered the real cost of what you are trying to defend. there is no such thing as ones "own" being - we all owe our being to that which is here - this planet and the fellow humans that must share it - the rich man will ONLY truly benefit when the world is fully functional and supported
