By the same argument, owning physical things is an unnatural state. For millennia, the idea of a human being owning a physical object was completely foreign.
People made tools and used them as necessary, then discarded them for another person to use. It’s only in the most recent 5% of human existence that private property had existed.
- Comment on Studios are making money off of fake AI trailers on YouTube 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t that imply that artists own material that the AI was trained on and therefore the output?
I’m all for that.

These are normal reactions that a lot of people experience. It’s not easy to put yourself out there.
I think it’s healthy to spend time finding your “tribe” and putting as much effort into that as you put into interpersonal relationships. Find something to be your third place away from home and work/school.
- Comment on Why do news articles and such call the governments of countries/groups of countries after the capital? 3 weeks ago:
Or specifically the parts of government that reside there. I see it especially used when there may be dissent in other parts of government.

Imagine if your whole life was only a laser light show, then one day you break free of the gogo cage and discover the DJ who has been laying down that phat beat the entire time… That would be pretty trippy, right?

That is a common belief, although it doesn’t stand up to academic rigor. There are many studies that show UBI does not negatively impact productivity or innovation, and may even stimulate more.
It seems counterintuitive, but when people have basic needs met, they tend to spend more time improving their skills, experimenting, starying new businesses, and finding better employment matches.
Governments already spend o lot of money on providing services to individuals, such as social security, pensions, healthcare, childcare, education, policing and corrections, food security, housing subsidies, etc. As it turns out, often the most efficient way to provide services to people is to give them money to provide for themselves.
On the other hand, I’m not aware of any studies that show wealth aggregation increases productivity after businesses leaders are paid more than ~50 times their average employee. The typical CEO today earns 351x more than the average employee, which is more than a 1000% increase from the late 1970s.

The point is not the taxes, it’s the UBI. The wealth taxes are just how you pay for it.
You also need to ensure certain consumer protections, especially in real estate markets, in order to make UBI work well, but let’s start there.

You can run either one from a server or locally. LibreOffice allows realtime collaboration in spreadsheets only. OnlyOffice I think allows it in all programs. Both have web editors. Both work with Nextcloud /OwnCloud. It depends on what you want to do with your server.

Retirement is for privileged boomers.
We will work until we die unless we figure out how to get taxes from billionaires and generational wealth holders to establish a universal basic income.

My calendar is now on Thunderbird, which has an excellent mobile app as well.
I’m having good luck replacing document editors with onlyoffice, Although many people recommend Colabora (with LibreOffice on desktop)
- Comment on Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years? 1 month ago:
Also maybe microdots would be more effective. Not exactly pen and paper, but still analog. Hard to crack a code you can’t find.
- Comment on Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years? 1 month ago:
Maybe something akin to a book code, although machine learning may be able to crack those by that time.
I am not a cryptographer so I have no idea really.
