  • I did the same using GDP. About 10 years ago the numbers were like this in Canada: the average income was $56k the average tax burden is $7k and the GDP per WORKER was $90k. It’s so funny to watch people complain about the $7k the hobby takes to build society when you ignore the $44k in profit you generate for the rich.

    The beauty of the stepped back approach is that because all wages are included and all economic output is captured you don’t need to solve for c, it’s included in wages and surplus value.

    The machinery of capital is built on a large pile of labor + stolen surplus value all the way down to the raw material. So it’s all captured with the above.

    Help isn’t just used in the context of a person doing something and another person with a secondary contribution. It’s also the word used for two people working together on a common goal.

    We’re helping eachother out.

    You made a nice meal. Oh yes, but Steve and Joe were helping me cook. That doesn’t mean one was the cook, it means 3 people cooked to make a meal.

    OP even says “when he doesn’t know how to help” implying all his chores are done and he still has energy so he gets advice on the next chore from his partner. Maybe it’s a chore his partner usually does, or maybe it’s a chore he didn’t notice needed to get done that she noticed. If she finishes her chores and has energy left she can ask for the same thing.

    God you just want to see men as useless and women as heroes when we’re all just people in this world trying to make the best of things.

    They may be fragile but they are also extremely strong compared to a person. Here is a Tesla bot falling and hitting a closed water bottle hard enough to send water spraying. No human would do that as an international action.

    Maybe they’re not stronger in the absolute, but you never find a human just giving 100% power by accident, we also sense unintended contact, or unexpected material yield and adjust our force. And maybe that’s the problem here, robots constantly glitch and just give 100% force to whatever is around them.


  • The most terrifying thing about these robots is their insane power density. If you were walking around and saw that you wouldn’t feel at risk. It has the strength to tear its metal and plastic body to dust. We just saw it. No human could do that, yet these robots deceive us with their human like appearance.

    The slightest twitch, error, our bug and they turn into human meat blenders killing anyone around them. Even worse is intentional harm by the owner… And the manufacturer will often have an override access letting them theoretically possess a robot army at will with only their good virtue stopping them. Elon Musk is about to have this…

    The future is going to be a weird and dangerous place!

    I’ve thought about this a lot and I’ve gone back to being against it. A lot of performance enhancing drugs push your cardiovascular system pretty hard. If everyone is trying to juice as much as possible to win, they’ll end up competing to getting as close to death as possible for our entertainment to achieve the max performance. They’re either killing themselves in the process or shaving decades off their natural lifespans. I don’t know if creating such a system would be ethical.



  • And of course that’s WHY he got crucified. He interfered with the most profitable business of the times: religious extortion. He did it in a way that was tremendously popular. The combination of popular policy and action that undermines the rich for the benefit of regular people is always the greatest fear of the rich. They’re always willing to kill to protect their position.

    It’s a universal lesson.


  • It wasn’t just commercial activity. Money changers were charging a fee to buy shekels which people could use to buy an animal to sacrifice at the temple. Jesus was mad because the idea of inserting yourself as a middleman to extort money from people seeking salvation was basically blasphemy.



  • It’s almost like you wrote a whole thing to say “from each according to their means, to each according to their needs”

    Unless you intended to say that you prefer “to each according to their means” because you believe people who achieve more due to their natural gifts should get more… But that’s kind of fucked up when you really think about it. I hope you’re born gifted!

    I was with you most of the way but you lost me here. Some of the biggest privileges for cis straight white males is that they don’t have to deal with racism, sexism, and bigotry over who they are and who they love. That’s not a zero sum game. We can all have that privilege. That privilege isn’t what causes bigotry.

    There are some privileges that would be lost, like being preferentially hired by racists. But for the most part we’re fighting in large part for equal good treatment. It’s not a zero sum game.
