I assume no pay though, correct? Because that would be capitalist...

Those damn poors, can't live with em, can't live without em

Fair enough, I see where you're coming from. Id suggest though, that selfishness and greed are easy to predict - moreso than radicals whose country was backed into a corner of starvation and depression by the rest of the world.

I get the sense you're a bit biased here lol. If you think any of these politicians at the top give a shit about you, you're wrong.

Trump is just selfish (like most big politicians). You can't have no vision and a vision for how to destroy mankind at the same time.

It's a bit illogical to say you hate insurrectionists and people trying to alter society for their own benefit, and also say "id rather have Hitler as a president".

Do you see the irony here?

Oof you can't say anything on Lemmy that defies the "we hate tesla because Elon" culture - even slightly.

Enjoy the -30 downvotes lol, I'm sure I'll join you shortly.

Sometimes I forget why we're doing all of this, but then I remember - THE SHAREHOLDERS

Suddenly I don't need coffee, I have so much motivation and energy to get me through the day - ready to work 18 hours straight with no extra pay because I know I'll make them happy

I'd love a world like that too, and I think most people would. There's just too many different cultures and opposing views that we won't be able to have just a single truth though. Like the Palestine vs Israel stuff for example.

It'd be very dangerous if there was a small governing body of people that gets to decide what's truth and what isn't. Maybe if we could figure that out openly, with the public, and have it decentralized and no singular group could control a narrative, maybe we'd inch closer to that ideal

Fair enough, but censorship won't fix the underlying issue that people aren't taking the time to think about what they're reading/watching. It might make it worse once it becomes information "they don't want you to see"

I'd argue it's always been 10:1, we just have access to all of it at the click of a button, and it's all now recorded - remember how many old wives tales used to get shared around back then?

"Bubblegum stays in your stomach for YEARS!" "Shaving makes your hair come back thicker" "Don't crack your knuckles, it'll give you arthritis!"

And now we have the ability to cast these claims against their opposers, where as before it would've been much more difficult to uncover.

But to your point about believing people with skin in the game, I'd say that's a great idea - if we can keep it decentralized and as open to the public as possible, all at the same time. Pharmaceutical companies have a lot of exemptions from this kind of thing though, we'd need a method for them as well
