Ideas revolving around religion, family, sexual orientation, and so forth, have been changing and mutating a lot over the years. What was once prohibited in one culture has become the norm in the same culture, and vice versa. From women being allowed to vote, to gay marriage, or the separation of religion from state. In our book “Morality and Ethics” we showcase how the norms, traditions and what it was accepted as “normal” in the past, changed over millennia, from culture to culture.

Therefore any discussion about “our culture, language, traditions” should always be put under the powerful light of history in order to understand that these “things” are remixes at best, and will always be. This, I think, is crucial in order for us, humans, to be able to have relevant discussions about them, without being too emotionally entangled with them. To put everything into a historical, and realistic, perspective.

Here's something new that I learned. In Spain, and likely everywhere else:

You get sick, say you bleed abundantly from a surgery that went wrong, and you have to stay in ER for a day to have you fixed. You lose a lot of blood and need to stay at home for a few days because you cannot work.

So: stress, trauma, money spent to go to the hospital, others helping you, etc..

The hospital gives you medical leave, as is normal.

Great? No.

Guess what?

First few days you do not get paid from work. The next weeks you get 65% of the salary.

So you are fucked health wise and in this system apparently is normal to not even get paid from your job...I mean you can't fucking work even if you want to, and you can't even get any help.

I cannot work because I bleed...
Oh..ok no problem here medical leave.
Thanks. Oh wait and I also lose money because I lose blood?
Yah...if you don't work, you cannot get paid...
But...but I cannot work for a few days...I need help...
Yah. Well. That is the law. Take care!

If this does not sound insane to you, you have a serious problem. You are part of the problem actually.

INSANE!

This Trade-Based Society is just that: Trade. All else does not matter. People's lives are measured in trading hours.

Go to sleep humans, you are nowhere near an intelligent society. You are the most primitive dominant form of life on any planet probably.

Perhaps instead of #ageverfication nonsense, those who want to protect the children should look at why these platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Youtube and the like are "bad" for them and everyone else.

Here's why:

They are TRADING PLATFORMS. Not video hosting platforms, not social networks. NO. People have to trade their attention (watch ads), data, or currency to use these platforms who make over 90% or more of their profits from these trades. Is like calling a Mall a Social Gathering Event Hall. It is not!

At least they should force these platforms to be renamed/re-labeled.

And you know what else? The harm/addiction of these platforms is not solely their incentive to make people trade more (more ads, more data trading, etc.) to keep them on the platforms is the fact that in this society pretty much everyone has a shitty meaningless life. If people were to be taken care of, and not have to trade all of their lives in a boring and stupid job, with them being worth only when they consume, then smarter and relaxed humans would give 0 fucks about these platforms.

When you are out and about, with friends, are not stressed about how to pay for your life, then why do you give much of a shit to post and scroll on these silly platforms?

How come I do not give a flying fuck about these platforms and what people post on them? Because I am busy with more relevant shit!

SO.

Wanna change something?

REPLACE.

Replace these trading platforms with trade-free ones like Friendica, Peertube and the like. If you are a government, support them!

Replace the meaningless life of most people with meaningful ones. Give people their basic needs as trade-free. Via an UBI or trade-free basic services. This way you don't even have to support those trade-free platforms. People will! The same people who do it now, but who also have to struggle to have a day job in order to keep their work on these platforms going. Imagine having millions of people able to get involved and change this world!

Free people from the Trade-Society!

This way you don't even have to fight with these big corporations. Let them fade out! Let them die.
