"In the fantasy world, we create “nations” and imagine ourselves as ongoing parts of them to assuage our fears of death, even at the cost of millions of lives in war and inane policies that lock people up for movement without a pass. "

In a way its true

But alternative is anarchy and bloodshed

in the fantasy world you have a working welfare state without borders. in the real world it's either the one or the other. well... in case of the US its neither but that's beside the point 😉

You could make it work if you got world gov

But thats not happening in our lifetimes

"In the fantasy world, we create “[private houses]” and imagine ourselves as [homeowners] to [have a safe bed] , even at the cost of [thousands] of [dollars] in [property taxes] and inane policies that lock people up for [trying to break in] without a [key]."

Pretty much

i hate that comparison but yeah

i want to do a social experiment where i have someone do a tedious task

but then give their reward to the guy who did nothing

"but he needs it more"

another one would be

get 3 people to agree to move boxes for 300$, they decide how to split the money

then at the last minute have a guy sneak into their group and ask for a cut

or better yet tell them no they have to split it with him

3 groups, folding shirts, 1$ per shirt folded, in the end of the event the group divides the money evenly in their group

we start letting random people into the event and they can choose which group to join

and they can see how much money each group has made so far

shouldnt the new people only be allowed in the groups with the least of their identity group? i.e if there are less females in one group and the person is female she has to go into that group - no freedom of opportunity

who cares what their experience is or how many t-shirts one group has folded

don't tell them how the money is split, have them do different tasks and a different amount of work. then pay them all the same.

^ ^ ^

I like Falko's idea better.

or have 2 companies... company A, pays you based on experience and how much you do... and company B pays everyone equally... see who joins A and who joins B ... and see which company gets the most done

company A is racist

obviously

company b is bankrupt

and ... half way through.... they all get one choice - to switch companies

guarantee all the crap goes to B and all the hard workers go to A

If half of the world leaders are women do you guys think it will be better or just the same?

isnt that already the case?

how about all the leaders are women?

I think it will be the same thing. Same wars and conflict

it would depend entirely on how each women performs

why do you hate that analogy btw?

what analogy

if all leaders are women it's worse. i mean... apparently merkel and hillary are the "best" the female gender has to offer 😉

That probably wouldnt be too hard to setup in new york

and May

houses vs borders
