  • Actually both profit and debt are just global loss.

    Sell a forest to let a company turn it in firewood for sale but it doesn’t sell so the company make a loss.

    In the end nothing of value got created but the temporary heat of the logs that got sold. For the profit that is now used for a new casino or famous art, the world has lost a forest, a local contributor of healthy air.

    All life that consumes life generates loss. To live is to destroy. That is inevitable.

    Maybe we should aim to embrace that fact rather than hide from it. Hold the knowledge in 2 hands.

    Because the problem is not that to live we must destroy, its the excessive disrespectful way we go on with it noting the profits and value without the damage we have done to obtain those numbers.

    Maybe public display of loss and debt, proof of how little cost there is for the creation of a measurable value could be the new winning.

    Once we start counting loss and not profit or economy will make more sense, as money to first have and then buy with becomes obsolete in contrast to measuring how much damage you have done compared to your peers. Socially, winning means being able to brag with how much you can do with so little.

    No more bloating numbers for the appearance of success, but actual success in showing how creative and efficient we can be to get the most life out of our species.

    (This is a wip btw)


  • Uhm actually ddg is just bing with marketing, does not block microsoft trackers, giving them a monopoly on that data. Use Searxng if you actually want no trackers.

    And like. The economy isn’t real. You need to stop getting so worked up about these semantics. Debt isn’t a real thing, money is not a real thing, its all just psychotic monkey scribbles. Made up shit.

    The only type of debt that does exist, is the one humanity has towards earth. A debt that exits in the labour, resources and energy that it will take to balance our planet out so it can continue to co-exist with us.

    Sorry, just trolling by acting “stoned teenager”












  • Clarification, google (and amazon) are giving anthropic acces to some of their chips (compute).

    This mirrors Microsofts funding in openai, which was mostly just azure credit.

    Same thing with ai companies investing with free generation tokens.

    These companies aren’t providing money just sharing some resources that they would otherwise exploit for profit.

    They are giving each other monopoly money blow jobs and the result is headlines and securing coordinated market domination.



  • It can get blurry if you look for it but generally the things you use almost every day and the place you sleep and store the items you use almost everyday day are hard to argue against.

    Almost all the reform that needs to happen is on a scale where things are very obvious. Corporate property should be owned by the workers. One tech company buying an entire game studio where the same workers work should be too absurd to mean something.

    After this we could discuss common ethics like what is a good reason for a person to own a personal yacht or plane? If that is a live in yacht and that is part of their life style sure. Owning 4 and a castle… that should need More restrictions.

    And someone lives in a historic castle there family has lived in for generations thats ok. But owning a portfolio of historical building they exploit economically, not so much.

    There should not be a centralised authority to decide on smaller stuff that common sense cant handle. You don’t call something non personal that you don’t want anyone else to take either. The closer we build towards a fairer world the more people will have access to fill their needs the less they have a reason to become jealous of others.

    I won’t pretended to have a solution on how to get this done in practice but its a direction to move in at least.


  • Second this, i definitely recognize a difference but its the first time i hear it as potentially relating to marx.

    Your necklace given to you by your grandmother is not to be redistributed. space where you live and sleep is yours to protect.

    The factory enterprise you bought on paper and visited exactly once before installing a manager to organize below, the workers produce that you stocked up in a hangar. The by government maintained old forest that is technically considered part of your land. That is where ownership is a problem.
