    I have basically rejected this world. I focus only on maintenance. I maintain friendships I have, don’t make new ones. I’m not buying new devices anymore, I will maybe buy accessories or upgrades to keep them going, buy repairs, but the goal is to purchase as little as possible from this unworthy species.

    Phase 2 is to create a self-reliance kit, focused on maximizing independence (amount of time you can go without purchasing anything, just relying on yourself, and maybe a small community). Once I perfect that, my goal is to spread it.

    Once we eliminate exploitation, once most of the power disbalance is gone, THEN humans will be worthy of living on this planet again. THEN, we can have a real society.

    Leaving yourself under another’s power should be a mortal sin.

      Fierce independence is how we got into this mess, and allows exploitation by organized power-hungry groups.

      People need to cooperate in egalitarian collectives to achieve goals and resist exploitation.

        You mean you will socialize healthcare a bit, then still force people to do the same work for 8 hours a day? Look at China, they have automated vehicle fleets that are building roads! All jobs should be voluntary. A handful of fanatics that want just a bit more money are enough to do the jobs that automation can’t. We can build automation without MML’s, just good ol robot arms.

          My dude, how does any of that follow from what I said?

          I’m saying we have to work together to enact the changes we want, and that requires being dependent on other people’s specializations. Banding together is literally the biggest strength of our species.
