mindless idiots feel no need to procreate eventually due to brain rewards being fully hijcked. humanity destroyed in a few generations

As far as we can see in various societies it's actually the highly educated and prosperous people who feel no need to procreate.

they “extract” wealth on the back of shared investments like infrastructure and now our data/IP with AI

it’s not the same as your examples but i’m not sure that it needs to be exactly the same

yeah but how much are employers spending to lobby, etc, and is that not a significant force-multiplier on their 1.5B direct spend against unions?

theres also one about pennywise, pound foolish

which is the statement being made to cancel the money since after X years there are almost zero deliverables rather than being the a&e dept for the world, in countries where leaders have fleets of sports cars whilst their people die of situations not far from cholera.

worth a try

yes i deleted facebook eventually because they would not stop showing me this stuff despite clicking “show me less” many times

im with you, im completely over digital at this point

I'm not at all, but if I had to leave it behind I'd just keep building offline exclusively instead of doing both.

i wouldn’t say this reddit thread clearly makes the point you think it does

aka we pay their negative externalities? no

I think everyone should pay for their own externalities. Put gas in your car, and you are generating the externality, so expect to pay some company a gas tax to remove that carbon.

Buy electricity from coal and the power plant is the emitter, who should pay for capture. However, if you are a electricity customer, expect that cost to be passed on to you on your bill.
