hi
I have a question for you all: What is with the obession with economics and politics?
@Chillin Chum How's your summer break going, pal?
Summer break?
I graduated 6 years ago.
Do you go to school year round?
If I did. Not anymore.
Politics and economics are vital to society
and they're all fucked up
What if I told you that's only a small part of the story?
Sure, make your case
That it being messed up is only a symptom?
There's always a root cause
what if I told you that........
Ultimately I won't be able to make a wholy satisfying case, I can't just convince anyone on some intellectual ground.
But as far as I can tell, as long as your working with fundamental flaws in humans, or rather relatable mistakes, you'll be stuck making half-way solutions that ultimately won't work under any system if your only focused on economics and politics.
So you think human nature is the cause of societies problems?
I know that as long as there is a chance to make mistakes, to have frailties, you can't have a system that will work perfectly.
Only a theortically perfect intelligence could achieve that. (And since it is likely to bring up a lot of stuff that would only encourage a flame war. Let's just leave the perfect person thing alone.)
I just mean that I just don't feel that government can solve all our problems,and particularly if it's a character problem, only we can change ourselves.
Yeah, but I mean society is implemented from the top down
I would rather work the other way.
That way doesn't seem to be working.
you implement changes via politics that affect people's goals and environments
I don't see government changing the character of people, do you?
Interestingly, that was the fundamental principle of Maoism.
that the government would change the people.
and likewise, the people would change the government, in a never-ending series of contradictions.
*it failed miserably.*
Communism always fails
it's a bullshit system
Of course.
Let me ask you, what do you think is wrong with people
You can't blanket it. It tends to be case by case.
But.....you could start with a fear of not having enough control, not having enough. That's common.
Can't really make egalitarianism work until they believe in it.
egalitarianism isn't based in reality though
