"#Computers are fantastic for some tasks, but their cultural dominance is entirely misguided. They are fascinating, brilliant, and incredibly powerful. And infinitely interesting. But when they are plugged into large power and cultural systems, then strange things happen. And the violence it results in is really terrifying.”
“Do you see a way out?”
“Yeah, I mean . . . I’m not in the business of saving the world, but it would definitely be a better and more interesting place if more people were involved in making these things. That’s the fundamental thing: that if more software, more buildings, more social spaces, and more everything were designed by more #people, of course it would produce a more interesting and #betterworld! Such an obvious remedy."
Great news 
A #UniversalBasicIncome study from #SouthAfrica simulated the benefits of income support based on 2017 data. It shows that wider income support for everyone from 18 to 59 - not only those unemployed - would benefit society the most:
"this universal support has the biggest overall impact on poverty and inequality reduction because more South Africans receive income support under this scenario."

If you want a visual representation of where #UniversalBasicIncome projects have been conducted, have a look at this website.
It clearly shows that #UBI is a popular and worthy goal to achieve. 
Please note: the criticism that UBI disincentivizes us to work has been de-bunked.

Let’s be honest: jobs don’t define us. Our #value isn’t tied to #productivity
#UBI isn’t about replacing #work — it’s about replacing fear. Fear of hunger, eviction, medical debt.
When people are #secure they #create #innovate and #thrive 
A #BetterWorld isn’t just possible — it’s necessary.
This world is so beautiful
but
we humans are often not
We live in a world
that is boundlessly beautiful
but also
boundlessly unjust
Even twenty years ago
I couldn't get used to it
and even now
it makes me incredibly angry
but also speechless
how much worse it has become
Remember, you are not alone in wanting a better world and #UBI
There are plenty of people out there who think like you and who also take action. Take action with us and vote for people who want the same future that you want. 
One example: @remahformoreton.bsky.social who wants to tax billionaires and create a fairer society for all

Why do so many people still believe everything the super-rich say?
Especially when they say they know how the “normal” and “economically weak” are doing?
This expression alone....
Normal people?
Economically weak?
Oh....
Go fuck yourselves
Sorry, couldn't help myself...little shitposting
The beauty
it comes from everywhere
Beauty
can be found everywhere
We capture
and see it should
We should pass it on
and feel the beauty
So that all the ugliness of this world
does not gain the upper hand

A look in the mirror reveals
what is otherwise so artfully
hidden from all
People should not see
what looking into the truth
so ruthlessly reveals
It wants to come to the surface
But you must prevent it
to appear
All this hatred that is deeply rooted
within you must not reach the light
of beauty
Not give up the fight
that you have fought for so long
with what was once done to you
si_irini
for all fighters
Love was given
to everyone
But many
too many exchanged it
Went off to spread hate
against everyone
Because hate is easier to live
And it makes you look bigger
But love has always found a way
into the hearts of those
who contradicted every hate

Good night my dear Fedis 
See you again tomorrow
I think such a “small” revolution
(of the worker bees, of the foot people...)
would do us all good
and annoying the “slave bosses”
is good anyway...
And it's important
to show “them”
what democracy really means
(violence is not tolerated)
No matter where in the world 
#world #mastodon #fediverse #revolution #people #human rights #humanity #human #freedom #democracy #democracy #FreeWill #BetterWorld
Prejudices,
reservations,
are something simply negative
They limit oneself,
one's views,
one's world view,
his openness,
often in a very strong way
working for a #betterworld for everybody definately pays off but unfortunately the #corruption in this #finance #system is MASSIVE #garycseconomics https://www.youtube.com/@garyseconomics/videos Gary's economics - #socialmobility - most people end up being as #rich or #poor as their #parents what this means: in #capitalism #possession is not taxed enough and #work is #tax ed too much
even worse: the #superrich basically avoid tax completely which of couse leads to massive social #inqeuality #economics #finance #money #bank #banks #wtf #stopthismadness
You don't give up, never
but you adapt and then keep fighting
Whole cultures have survived like this
for centuries
Never give up
no matter where
and from where a fight is waged
Whether it is fought out of the dark or in the light
the most important thing is to fight it
Because fighting for freedom and democracy
no matter where
is more important than ever
Long fought for and yet too briefly lived freedom
has always been given away in jubilant roars and applause

An open, diverse society
can learn every day
and benefit from it
Why we are drifting in the opposite direction
and so many support it with their heart and soul
is a real mystery to me
Back and forth
the sadness
It always comes
over and over again
Fights its way out
the superiority
Then holds captive
all the beauty
The heart grieves
Mind so heavy
Darkest thoughts
black as the night
Now crawl out
then come again
For after the dark
is always followed by light
Over and over again
si_irini
