So then the solution is to decentralize so everyone is running it.

Communism by any other name would smell as sweet

A co-operative ?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 16 hours ago

And likewise, oligarchy calling itself communism smells just as rancid.

And have a way for it to be trustless as well

It's simple: teach everyone to make everything they need for themselves, so they can't be expoited

Sure bro lemme teach my aunt to make her insulin, her own needles, her own glucose test strips and all that cheers

Maybe we should all specialize, and pay each other with our own goods, or better yet, a sort of representation of goods we all agree is valuable, so you can get one persons goods with anothers.

Kinda seems unfair that somebody's aunt should have to purchase insulin she needs to survive, like she shouldn't have to work harder to have the same lifestyle as someone without a disability. Maybe we should just give her the insulin she needs to survive, and compensate the people who make it out of some sort of common pool of resources everyone is required to contribute to, in order to distribute the costs more fairly.

When I was younger, I tried to design an universal constructor.

Unfortunatelly, I was using Roblox studio to do this.

How's that for insanity?

I also carved a log with a knife, hacking off pieces in an attempt to make a 3D printer

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 17 hours ago

It's not insane! 3D printing is making huge strides. You were just a little ahead of your time.

If we can run Doom on 16 billion crabs, then you can carve a 3D printer.

There is a group actively working to open source Insulin manufacturing to make it practical to self produce.

Like how people were gifted ability to have more knowledge at their hands than previous generations and rapid communication, and then came to the conclusion that the earth is flat, vaccines are poision, and facism is holy?

Humans are dumb fucks. They will inevitably fuck up even the most perfect utopia they arrive in short of some mass hive mind brain washing Equilibrium style. i don't hold that high an opinion of human society.

Leave the world to the animals. Humans are a failed experiment and a virus to the world.

What does Darwin have to do with enslavement of the human species?
