When did working oneself to the bone, sacrificing mental and physical health, become a badge of honor? When did rest and enjoying what we collectively create become something to be guilty of? This is not sustainable.

Adopting Unconditional #BasicIncome can restore balance in our toil-centric society.

Current favourite meal.

Mushrooms, peppers, chickpeas, spinach in a herby tomato sauce and topped with poached eggs.

Bob the gallstone says this is a good meal.

Under capitalism, workers are exploited due to them being forced to exchange their labor for wages, while the capitalist class profits by appropriating the surplus value created by the workers. Workers, despite receiving wages, lack control over the means of production and decision-making, leading to an unequal power dynamic. Any worker who identifies with capitalists is suffering a form of Stockholm Syndrome, where they align with their oppressor due to systemic conditioning and societal norms.

Watching Top Gun on Netflix and amazed by the filter jets landing on aircraft carrier using that hook and wire thing, and am again astounded by the sheer overwhelming number of people who spend their lives and $billions inventing extraordinary stuff so politicians can make one set of young people kill another set of young people.

It seems that the entire analysis is developed starting from a modular and mechanistic perspective which is very suitable for machines but very little for human life. In the article, life is conceived in the light of criteria such as competition, optimization and mere survival, neglecting what for humans is the basis of every action: intentionality (why? with whom? against whom?...). In terms of mere survival, a sophisticated neurological evolution is not even necessary: jellyfish have existed for thousands of years without any particular evolution of their nervous system. Last but not least, artificial neural networks and the entire paradigm of Artificial Intelligence were founded on the Kantian perspective of thought and life, a legitimate choice from a research point of view which however greatly restricts the possibilities of understanding the phenomenon of life, reducing thought and reason to the emerging product of logical operations (Boolean algebra) carried out through the mechanical dynamics of logic gates.

Dear Friends of the future, ☸️

As we may know Nothing is certain. Not that nothing exists except as Everything …
Emptiness is Form and form is Emptiness as the say …
Have a grateful day everyone. Be kinder. Feed the trolls (and then deep fry them) … Oh I is being naughty again … 🤓🫶

In my persuasion class, my students had to sell something intrinsically worthless on eBay, relying only on their product descriptions & not being banned. They sold imaginary friends, an open bandaid, a bag of air, a haunted breath mint, etc. Class record was like $150
