    The percentage of sociopaths involved with creating a society should never be greater than zero.

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

      We had a big war over this like 12000 years ago, and the wrong people won. It’s hard to argue with institutional greed, it spreads like a cancer. Once you start hoard things, shit will just devolve into mine and thine and war and dynastic hierarchies and royal incest and slavery and shit.

      As far as I’m concerned I’d rather be hunting deer on the steppe and deal with the lack of medical care and just take it. Give me something to do, keep myself fit, have some purpose. What the fuck am I talking about? Anyway, we still need someone to make beer though but that can be kept compartmentalized. Like Göbekli! Let’s meet once a year at the tepe and drink and fuck ourselves into oblivion, and just accept the natural progression of life. I’m sure we can find some herb or root or some shit for the headaches.

      ‘Financial obesity’ needs to be a term coined and proliferated into our lexicon. Masses gotta understand this shit somehow,

        This is the term I’ve been looking for. Too much wealth is a symptom of serious underlying problems.
