  • In a system where insurance doesn’t exist but the government also doesn’t fund it, each individual person would be financially crippled with debt if anything ever went wrong.

    1. No. If the insurance didn’t create the atmosphere of territorial turfing, prices would be naturally set by competition. They would be much more accessible.

    2. Let us not forget the amount of claims that get denied in order to guarantee financial solvency for the middleman parasites.

    .

    Ideally, we would elect representatives who want all healthcare funded through the government.

    Yeah. Let’s just support this nonsense by printing more money. /s

    If you avoid paying a racket, you’ll also get the mother of all fines, because they’re gonna break your fucking legs.

    Direct violence is out of fashion. Now it is all about systematic financial crippling into homelessness and starvation.


  • Insurance (either private or public) doesn’t do anything negative to you if you don’t pay

    In Europe it is very mandatory, by law. Don’t fall for the universal healthcare scam ameribros.

    edit: Healthcare is the hot topic, but let’s not forget the essential business insurance. Car insurance also very much doesn’t reimburse for the damages, so even the individuals are at loss even when not at fault. Due to personal experience I am led to believe that insurance companies do have their goons that do the bidding for uninsured business subjects.

    Another problem is the monopoly style competition curbing. Those who tried opening a private health clinic know all about it. If it wasn’t for insurance territorial turfing, it would be much easier to run a clinic and compete by offering a fair price. Corruption is now a part of business it seems.








  • I have read your response, and now I have a better understanding of what you meant in your first post. The concerns that you shared with us are all valid. My response is still the same… I fear that we lack the spiritual and mental capacity to deal with it.

    AI, like any other piece of technology is only a tool. It is greed through corruption that tries to convince us to fight some imaginary evil, and our predictable response eventually makes it a real one. A self fulfilling prophecy. Tools don’t create discrimination, division and conflict. Lack of spiritual and mental capacity does.

    This old, rigid social economic system that supports only the rule of brute power comes from this self fueling circle, and in the end always leaves us to fend for ourselves. Our inability to cope with the pain that comes from our ignorance has bent enough will to create this horrific state of tension where those who have the chance to save themselves by sacrificing others will do so using any means necessary, using the hopeless to do their bidding, staying undetected, while we sacrifice the scapegoat in anger, create more hopelessness to fuel the repetition, and getting congratulations for being good dogs. To them it is “either them or us”, which thanks to our ineptitude holds true. Some are blissfully unaware of any danger, but many are either crestfallen, overdosing on cynicism or standing paralyzed in a pool of doom. If you think your story can inspire someone to recognize our shortcomings and act responsibly, then go ahead.


  • It is a common effect of being more aware giving us the feeling that the situation has become worse. Medieval times aren’t all that romantic and mysterious as one could think. Information was scarce, societies were more disconnected and it was much easier for sadistic psychopaths to act on their impulse without facing immediate justice.

    We are not up against technological achievements of very talented and intelligent people. AI is a powerful tool, and can very well be used to perpetuate discrimination, division and conflict. However you wouldn’t blame the knife for the murder. The solution is not the destruction of technology. The path of salvation lies in the spiritual and mental growth beyond the prison that is constantly being built around us, whether we have technology or not.

    You could say that is cruel that we are forced to move towards enlightenment in order to not end in absolute misery of this unforgiving world. Luckily there are as many ways to reach it as there are colors. Green is a nice color. Don’t be afraid to grow, but always remember your heart.
