    Conspiracy theories are an outlet. People need a reason for why society is not as good as they feel it could be.

    Most people blame the other political party. But that doesn’t work for everybody. The mind keeps looking until it finds a reason, and then it fades out all arguments that oppose it.

    We laugh about conspiracy theorists, but most have the same mindset, just with socially acceptable topics.

    There is no general answer because by default, the majority wins.

    For education, I would focus on a small number of communities and pool all resources to figure out what works.

    Then use the desire of other communities for the hopefully existing improvements to spread the system.

    The future looks less bleak if the goal is not to live the life of that generation. There is AI, there are mobile phones, there is solar power and many more things.

    When things are expensive, it means that few resources are used. This is good for the environment.

    The big difference is that communication is free. We can talk to almost anybody in the world. This is still a huge untapped potential. That generation had a good life, but ours can be better.

    Matthew 5:34-37

    34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one

    So who introduced the oath of secrecy?

    Thanks again.

    they put absolutely minimal work into it

    I don’t believe this. The small shareholders do, but not the ones who choose the board.

    The Waltons have to stay up to date unless they accept that Amazon takes over. Likewise, Bezos will work to keep his company in the lead.

    Bezos bought a big house in Washington, not Florida. He will be busy all day most of the days.

    Thanks for the insights. I thought it was only Stalin who decided to collectivice the farming.

    With stocks for instance the owners typically arent involved in the operation

    Those are not the real owners but people who rent money.

    There are always shareholders who control the board and who make the ultimate decisions. They decide when they want to meet but nevertheless I don’t think that they do much more than managing their companies which includes networking. So even when they don’t work, they will be ‘on’. No pity, they are rewarded more than enough.
