I’d care about the economy if I had a real stake in it. We’re all just serfs being used up and thrown away. The medical industry sucks the last bit of wealth anyone is lucky enough to build over their life time.
I could have had a stake in the economy, not on a billionaire level but at least on a “doing alright for myself” level. I am very good at chemistry, could’ve gone into pharmaceuticals, the Navy tried recruiting me for their nuclear program… I told them to fuck off (in more polite verbiage) because I planned to grow weed.
I couldn’t bring myself to give a shit because I don’t believe in the overall mission of this nation (or for that matter, other nations under the same economic system). I will not give my life to facilitate wealth accumulation at the expense of exploiting / killing other people and the planet we depend on for life. I have a lot to offer and I wished I lived in a nation worth offering it to, but I don’t, so I’ll probably spend my life trying to contribute to the government as little as possible while helping other people as much as possible. I wish I could help to further our species, but I’m concerned anything I contribute would be used one way or another to degrade this planet. It’s advice I learned from a prison documentary: “Take everything they give you, give nothing in return.”
I care about jobs far less than I care about our environment.
AI must fail.
I can assure you humanity seems dead set on destroying the environment no matter the means to get there.
So uh… let’s try to not do that?
Good idea
