I'd rather work 8 hours awake and have the lucid dreaming just add to my leisure time tbh. Seems a waste to unlock the dreamworld just to be office drones in it.

I'm happy you posted it anyways, this is very interesting

Noah brought along mosquitos, the guy is filled with hate
I guess you would have a point if Israel didn't routinely bomb civilians and didn't routinely lie about it.
You can still build a garden by hand even if it's commercially done with machines. It will be the same with drawing, voice acting, etc.
The problem is and has always been capitalism and the rich that abuse of it, not automation.
Languages evolve overtime. It's very much an insult these days.
I don't see why it has to be one or the other. Getting rid of guns is just one step towards a better society. We can have a higher minimum wage, healthcare and also not have citizens walking around with rifles that came decimate a crowd.
Lazy cops aren't a reason to have every citizen armed. It's laughable to bring up criminals since they are only armed because of how easy guns are to aquire. Nobody is getting held up at gunpoint in fucking Canada. And if they did, it would be with a gun we sent over the border.
And ya, it's complex but when has that ever been a reason not to do the right thing? We send people into space ffs, and again, less complex than curing society of stress.
Ask yourself, and I mean really ask yourself what guns are bringing to your life that's so worth it.
And no, it's not safety because having so many guns around, statistically half of them in the hands of people with below average intellect, inherently creates a very unsafe environment and it also makes sure all the criminals have guns as well.
Society has always been improving, life's a lot better than it was 20 years ago. Improving to the point where shootings stop is seriously heavy. Mental issues are way more complicated than blanket gun bans.
You are dismissing my solutions as being too hard and too costly, while not really being critical of your own offerings.
Mental health issues clearly needs to be prioritized more but you can't wave a magic wand and ban depression. Not to mention that there are hundreds of different aspects that bring about a shooting. They all involve guns but the reasons that brought the person to the brink are always different. Sometimes, it's literally just racism (which is arguably a mental health issue but you get my point).
What you are saying is the equivalent of "Don't ban guns! Cure America of everything else instead".
It's such a tall order it's literally meaningless. Im not saying society can't improve but that the difference between our solutions is the difference between planting a tree to get out of the rain and buying an umbrella. And mind you, I'm super willing to try to improve society, but right now, we need an umbrella because we are getting covered in blood and it sucks.
Not having a shooting every week is worth whatever we have to pay.
There's no perfect solution but doing nothing is definitely the worst option. In any case, it's easier to get rid of guns then to cure all mental health issues. Saying things like improve conditions as a solution is just hand waving in my opinion.
The rich can have more guns for a bit, it would only last a generation. Id outlaw all sales private or public, anybody inheriting a gun wouldn't be permitted to use it.
The only guns would be state owned, for employees or to rent out at ranges and hunting grounds so people can still keep it as a hobby.
Basically phase out the private ownership of guns inside a generation or two. It's not perfect and would definitely piss off a number of people, a lot of which would find workarounds but I don't see a better way to do it.
This would actually be insane for music creation. The few times I had dreams where I was playing an instrument, it was pure fire
