Birds out of cages
sing as you traverse the
serpent's winding night.
To the left,
to the right,
you carve your hand
on trunks in defiance.
You tread this path anew
with fading light,
finding your way with no sight.

Birds sing and sing until
you grow weary,
for that reason, you must keep
strolling. Legs hurting
is better than birds that won't sing.
You spot a silent bird,
darting in terror.
Does stopping mean violence?

Wow, what a beautiful poem. Was it you that came up with that?

@Aamna-Malik I staunchly agree with you :) Sooner or later, every last echo fades. Even the loudest thunder in the deepest valley. We have nothing that is really our own; we hold everything as a loan..

@pe7erpark3r Dunno bout unhinduistic but its wrong to the minorities so yea its good tht indians are doing this :)

@pe7erpark3r Maybe because money is now an ethos, represented by wealthy people who act against the rest of society’s interests. The power is when money is enough to builds strength, and its organization of profiting contributes to that power. Money creates political power even for politicians who do it because it creates wealth.

It makes me think about how great communist in confiscating properties of rich in the past

@pe7erpark3r What an incredible visionary.. He knew those kind of raw knowledge yet some people nowadays still haven't figured it out. He was sharp!

@kaia_ said in Is Capitalism Evil? [The Rise of Reason I]:

@winston4mg I think he's explaining the evolutionary history for how a community of people can come together to reach an acceptable conclusion by balancing the outliers. Am I right?

yes you are completely right. However there is a downside to this particular idea "lottocracy".
First i should explain Socrates's view on democracy; He said democracy doesn't work because not everyone has the same knowledge (awareness) as everyone else, and this void of Knowledge (awareness) gets filed with advertising and superstition. It's like 10 person, 8 sheeps and 2 humans vote for where to live and the 8 sheeps vote for barns! Democracy is not for all people it's for majority and most of the time majority fooled with superstitions and advertising [because of lack of knowledge (awareness)].
Second because of "primitive accumulation" there is always a rich guy behind every society. For simplification we call them elites.
Therefor because elites have everything on their control, the theaters, the TV stations, the channels, the education and ... . they can manipulate the overall reasoning of all.
So i thinks lottocracy doesn't work either. But life is an struggle, we stumble along the way, and i think this one is good struggle which we could fight for.
don't you think?

@JamieM117 said in politicians are sleeping:

Here's the problem though, people are saying it's a good time for the rich and while this may or may not be true there is a bigger problem. They are losing money with less workers in the workforce and less people out buying. They didn't want to do this when COVID-19 hit the US, no they wanted to keep making money. If you aren't a 1% your life is forfeit to them, the real question isn't freezing the economy, it's how we deal with the fact that we are all cannon fodder to begin with. What do we do about it?

Honestly... I think maybe it's a good thing everything is going to fall apart. That way we'll get rid of the enslavers of humanity. We just have to rebuild the system in a better way.

I have a few ideas. For one, taxes should be exponential. E.g. the more you make, the more (in percent) they take from you. Because the problem are the super-big companies, and the super-rich. We don't need them. They are bad for society. We don't need super big. It should just get harder and harder to make more money, the more you have. Currently it's the other way round. If I had a few millions, I'd be a billionaire in no time. This is crap.

@pe7erpark3r Specific to Christianity, I think my biggest misgiving can be summed up in the parable of the Prodigal Son. The younger son gets his inheritance early and spaffs it away on hedonism. The older son has to continue toiling the fields. Now, I get the overall message. Forgive the younger son for being a d1ck and forgive the older son for his bitterness because they both get swallowed up in the greater meaning of God.

But at the same time ...it seems like very, very basic common sense to treat people's human sensibilities with respect. Imagine if the older son represented, say, the entirety of the working class of England (what's left of it). Imagine them flinging their hands in the air and saying, "Right, Dad, you're getting no more work from us".

Society would collapse in a malaise of hedonism and conceit (and if we carry on at this rate, it will really happen)

I mean, under those circumstances, Christianity would still be an incredibly important thing, perhaps still the most important thing in the world, but at the same time, I personally have got nothing to relate to. Which is not a criticism of Chritianity at all, it's just my personal thinking.

@mikeJB , lol! I made chocolate mocha brownies at 3 am

@pe7erpark3r said in On how to ride a dead horse:

declare "no horse can be so dead that we can no longer ride it"

but nah, I usually just take so much acid that I think I'm riding the horse from Rentaghost.

Acid, that's another good solution yap. All kinds a drugs might help you ride a dead horse better. Or at least have more fun doing it. You might end up just as dead though :joy:... Well at least it can't throw you off :yum:
