Free the beers and we might see some novel inventions like the Japanese toilet bidet )

Yeah similar to Sikh. I have my own suspicions, mainly along the lines of gnosticism

Let's hope Steven sets things right 😊🙏

Nowhere near the nightmare fuel of total familicide 🤣

Remind me again of how farming ruined people

Literally no economic system or political science yet has managed to prevent the internalised drive for familicide or authoritarian violence funnily enough, one can only hope that rationality prevails over bad thoughts, but not on the basis of civilization or self preservation, but through the collective conscience of humanity coming to understand how best to maximize the available entropy and energy within society to produce the most jobs, the most utility, the most potential sex, the most systems of funding and all other human desires.

Consider thot the US is a very rich democracy yet has many school shootings, Saudi Arabia has had to deal with corrupt funding of terrorists, China uses AI to bait people into crime and arrests people on false charges and then plays catch and release while Israel funds Hamas, imports overseas Jews and then exports violent "settlers" into the Palestinian borders.

Consider that even millionaire dictators who go on holiday will occasionally commit mass genocide. All of these bad things... Are not going to disappear because of capitalism, but we can at least say that they would become more foreseeable and preventable in a world where we have movies or stories that discuss our present these monstrosities to light

How ironic

Gnosticism is another old collection of beliefs that's quite interesting to read about

If we're going to take the Bible as stories that are somewhat partially true, I'd like to imagine that God as described was or is a supernatural nth dimensional being that allows for the manifestation of the human conscience in our moments of greatest suffering, but upholds a disassociative desire for a greater justice or harmony that can appear to many as an almost alien destructive nature and the tendency to punish, while another aspect or being above us, perhaps the same one, is basically a chilled out stoner who enjoys being lazy, exploring mushrooms as food, but doesn't like the idea of farming and sedentary lifestyle.

Please enjoy my verbal diarrhoea haha

Japan has very few firearms however still has a high suicide rate

People have vices, violence is a vice too

I think you're mistaken, it is Putin who is the warmongering conqueror here, not Prigozhin.
