We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Our systems reward that. Capitalism is about becoming the winner and taking more than everyone else, thats how companies grow - they kill weaker companies.

We have essentially created a system that works like the animal world, except animals also only kill what they need to survive, so we are worse.

All this intelligence and this is what we do with it. :)

I often think of what humanity could achieve if the old consciousness would disappear and we worked together to create a society of happiness rather than capitalism.

It would be a dream planet. We have everything we need to do that. Everything.
