For me Lemmy provides a value proposition that reddit does not: consent.
There's a big difference between storing energy for the winter and being obese.
Mushrooms aren't simply favoring their own species, they are favoring species that are cooperative. If they perceive a species as obese or cancerous, they will fight to control those surplus resources.
True. I guess I'm hoping his recent fuck up with keeping the COVID vaccine from being more widely distributed might galvanize the youths. That and the Epstein flight logs.
Because consuming more than what you can use or need is not a competitive advantage. The mushroom that trades that surplus instead of wastefully consuming it will have a more resilient support structure. It's a different perspective where you view the fitness of an individual in regards to how well it embeds itself in the system by making itself useful to others, not by how well it can "extract profit" from its surroundings (like a cancer or obesity).
I think Bill Gates might have inoculated the public against such PR.
It's like when people point to how expensive a state is while denying that it is expensive because so many people want to live there.
It is almost as if the rich were the real burden on the state...
Trading for food to eat is now "profit incentive"? How is there profit if you consume what you take?
Edit: and don't get me started on the violence used in our own market systems. Thankfully Mushrooms learned long ago to eat the rich, because "surplus profit" are just resources that aren't being used.
When politicians are left to their own devices then there is no accountability. Voting doesn't hold them accountable but it does mitigate the damage. If you want accountability, then you organize and shut shit down.
I find his call for a non-proliferation treaty on oil to be inspiring.
It's like oil dependency, we could blame the individual but that really doesn't help the situation. Unless of course we're talking about individual executives, those bastards are totally culpable.
