A tool is a tool. Just depends on how it’s used. Unfortunately people and our hubris are holding humanity back once again.
Your expectations of the political system are way too high. Real meaningful LASTING change will not come out of the current paradigm imo. Extreme harm reduction coupled with out-system open source design initiatives are the best bet going forward if the goal is to maximize human potential.
Agreed. I’m just not convinced that representative democracy is capable of achieving the lasting goals that rational people aspire to. And even if good legislation is passed the likelihood of them backsliding eventually is high. I will support progressive causes but we are not at the end of history
In group out, group mentality will be the end of humanity givin enough time. It’s obvious historically who the main culprits are no doubt. My point is that the starting point moving forward is to realize that we are all HUMAN. This attitude is lacking within the populous, for better and for worse.
