as fuck

okay what does that have to with capitalism?

this would be a case of cronyism/monopolies/cartels

which isnt exactly capitalistic

If it is corrupt, I would assume it is bad unless you are thinking that communism will save it?

you would get the same with communism but worse

communism

is worse

so communism and capitalism are both bad

how do you plan on fixing this?

@T2the2ndpowr thoughts?

removing materialism

Caliphate would save it

really how so?

beacause of my believes

okay please elaborate

is a caliphate a utopia?

anagogical

utopia

okay

Main thing is you doing your best to get to heaven

👍

that requires you not to be materialistic

Human beings aren't built for utopia.

Read "Notes from Underground" by Dostoevsky

we dont need utopia

Human beings, by their very nature, need a dynamic environment that produces the maximal amount of challenge that allows competence building.

Otherwise, as Dostoevsky points out, humans would just "sit around and eat cakes and busy themselves with the continuation of the species." At least for a couple of weeks before smashing things to oblivion just so they'd have something to talk about.

I'm not so sure that already isn't the case today. 😆

Seems Valid.

Although countries like Switzerland aren't really going about destroying their land, either.

I wonder what the correlation is with people who are well-adapted to their environment vs. the political system they are encompassed in.

The data is in! 🙂👍

What are we looking at?

The article doesn't explain the methods used, but is referring that these images are spread-patterns of mucous from a cough or sneeze based on the type of facial-covering worn.

"To allay these doubts, Padmanabha Prasanna Simha, from the Indian Space Research Organisation, and Prasanna Simha Mohan Rao, from the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, experimentally visualized the flow fields of coughs under various common mouth covering scenarios. They present their findings in the journal, ' Physics of Fluids'". (Source : www.phys.org)

I read the article. It just doesn't visualize very well.

Notice the image "Surgical Mask & Hand". It appears they have taken a side-shot of each scenario. Although, I don't know the type of imaging used.

I'm sure their article could explain better. ✌

Oh I see what the silhouette is now
