I’m on a tablet so formatting isn’t going to happen, but I’ll do breaks or something.
If you haven’t read The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, I highly suggest you do if you want to understand Capitalism, just as I would probably be asked to read the Communist Manifesto to understand Communism.
Striving to improve in a situation that won’t entertain your ideals seems futile to me.
If you don’t see transitioning to communism ever happening or a long ways off, why not try to improve the capitalist society you live in today. We have social welfare programs for a reason, but they need improvement.
I ask about you caring about 7 billion people because while the idea of being able to is something most people would think they could do, Reading through the field of psychology suggests otherwise.
Collectivism is something I see as a cult who would be willing to sacrifice people for a greater good, rather than individuals seeing the benefit of mutual cooperation.
I suppose if you can’t detach the activitist part from it, feeding people can’t be criticized.
There was no right answer, just curious as to how you would answer.
Another, I just wanted to see how you would answer, I like people as well.
When I ask about a higher power, I have to ask why you do not believe. I’m not asking why you don’t believe in Santa clause, but why when some of the brightest minds did, you wouldn’t come to the same conclusion that one does exist in some form or another, be it empirical or conceptual.
When parents through history have been willing to sacrifice their children in war that goes beyond what you’d be willing to die for, so nothing like that?
Also you know this place isn’t somewhere to find civil discourse. You just kinda have to understand what this community is about.
If you haven’t read anything from Edward bernays or read Joseph goebbels tenets I suggest you do.
I want to leave you with a reading list that doesn’t sway any which way politically, just books to understand the world around you. I’ve been homeless, Ive saved lives, I’ve taken lives and I’ve worked to get us to mars. I’ve traveled the world not as a tourist but lived in many different societies. I’m saying that as it might give you some incentive to pick these books or audiobooks up.
Again, The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith
Mans search for meaning by Viktor Frankl
The Gulag Archipelago By Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn
Memories, Dreams, Reflections By Carl Jung
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer
The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
The Prince By Niccolò Machiavelli
Meditations By Marcus Aurelius
Republic by Plato
Propaganda by Edward Bernays
If you just would rather stick to podcasts, listen to dan Carlin’s hardcore history.
This is humanity and the world you live in. If you don’t understand this you live in the dark and your dreams will always be just that, dreams. You’re young, passionate and just want what’s best for the world. Intellect is nothing without wisdom.
Same. I have a feeling your views will change as you grow older, and I believe in a world where people can have opposing views yet still talk to each other. When I was in high school socialism sounded great, I hated the military and was an edgy atheist. Here I am now, a veteran, I believe in a higher power and understand why our capitalist society is the better options despite its flaws. Again, the books aren’t meant to sway you away from socialism, just to give you wisdom of the world I wish someone would have given me in my early 20’s.
