The core problem, demonstrable for its results in history (and in every effort to solve our problems) is PROFIT. It's our core equation and it's irrational (does not add up). You cannot "take more than you give" and expect real well-being for it. So? We have to reclaim the last real power we have left---our daily work, which Profit must have (and by which we become slaves).

@greenfruitface a co worker from a past job tried to persuade me that tv has more freedom of content than the internet. I didn't bother.

@ArbitraryLifestyle hmmm, you may be right there. personally I think we need to reduce world population to about 1 billion max. But that's gonna be difficult!

@IlRezzonico We're at that dead-end watching the number of people reaching the dead-end pile up on top of the others.

@greenfruitface nobody watches tv these days, because everyone watches videos and favourite shows all on the internet, tv is getting old

The next time someone says to me "What do you mean you don't watch tv? Why not?" I'll simply refer them to this Alan Watts clip and it's complete awesomeness. It's so great that I can come here and CHOOSE to watch him, vs. television "programming".
