We’ve had nuclear weapons for nearly 80 years and haven’t wiped ourselves off the planet. We seem to be getting smarter.
That slowly but somewhat erratically, my art skills, and my German are both improving.
Severence season 2 is probably going to be pretty good. Capitalism will eventually collapse under its own weight. Peak sweet corn season is in a couple months.
But, without capitalism no one would have a reason to grow the sweet corn
I can assure you that people ate food before capitalism.
There’s a difference between eating food and eating what you want to eat. Capitalism drives innovation and gets people to grow more of what’s wanted. Sweet corn for example was first discovered in Pennsylvania and when people found that it was tasty and profitable people began growing it more places and transporting it to sell. Guess what drove that… capitalism
Nothing. Life’s beautiful, enjoy while it lasts. Sit back, relax, enjoy, have fun. It’s too short to be wasted worrying about things to be optimistic about.
The standard of living in my country has absolutely skyrocketed in the last 10 years.
I no longer have to worry about cholera, the roof of my house falling on me, or being shipped to a conflict zone by an employer.
My new problems are more like navigating a career in IT, saving for a home, and harassing clients to pay me on time.
The number of problems I have has stayed the same, but the new set is much better than the old set and I try to pause a moment and appreciate that sometimes.
