  • Actually that seems like it could work, if you don't make it obvious. Make sock puppet accounts that post in moderate political subreddits for a few months, brigade and spam small conservative subs with throwaways. Then you post on subredditrequest with the sockpuppet, posturing as a moderate who'd like to restore order, but then you just make the sub a leftist space.







  • I think books are real interesting because all the labor comes from an author does to produce a book, which can then be printed (or digitally reproduced) without any more input of labor from workers and distributed to thousands of consumers. In the near future, as more jobs are automated, an engineer that designs a product would be very similar to an author, so maybe the analysis we can conduct on the case of an author will be very relevant soon enough?

    I find the topic of UFOs and contact with aliens somewhat fascinating, but exhausting since many people interested in these theories also believe aliens are in control of our government, but if this is true why are we still capitalist? :posadas:

    For real though, I was discussing recently about the possibility of alien civs coming in contact with Earth. I proposed that if aliens made contact with earth, there's 3 possible scenarios. They're some kind of type 2 or 3 civilization that is willing to exploit the earth's resources, in which case we are ants to them and they'd see no issue devastating us with the kinds of technology they've acquired. Another possibility is that they're a benign civilization looking for a hospitable planet because they overexploited their own, like we're doing. Then the most optimistic possibility, that they're a benevolent type 2 or 3 civilization that will usher us out of the dark age of our clearly unethical and inefficient distribution of resources. I know these aren't the only possibilities, but they're the only ones I can envision being likely. The first and last are obviously untrue, IMO the only reason aliens could know about Earth and come here but not change our way of life much is that they're looking for a place they can sustain themselves in, while not making a huge fuss with the local population.
