it's hard to accept that power and wealth do not require you to be smart or savvy in some way both bc we're told they do and also because it's insulting, but. here we are.

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power
What if we could have leaders who aren't either evil monsters or spineless weenies

The need for a police force at all is a failing of every other institution and social system. A city should be judged harshly by how much it relies on police to cover its other failures and they should compete on minimizing spend/violence applied by them.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

What always gets me about 'the singularity could end scarcity!' Justifications for the mania is that we can already do this! Just round up everyone hoarding more than a hundred mil and shake them until they become human again.
AI could end scarcity, end humanity - or boost trend growth by 0.2 percentage points
