why are we restricted to windowed layouts of applications? I think we can get more creative than that. I would like a more fully immersive experience that doesn't try to mimic our constrained current experience. Getting to the pixel level and determining the outcome based on that is missing the forest for the trees.

managing emotions is at the crux of all of this. those productivity apps try to remove the emotion from certain decisions and give you some organizational help so you can act procedurally throughout your day. giving yourself a deadline is another approach coming that tries to focus the emotions you already feel into a productive force. a deadline will provide clarity because your subconscious will try to prioritize it over the small details that those productivity apps will have you continuously document, which can be a pain and sometimes create more friction when you're stuck with zero momentum.

if your life is already moving fast and you are managing a ton of different things, I think those productivity apps will provide a great resource to remind you of other things that need to get done and remove the friction that comes with context switching.

Would you include political ideology as another problem? If bitcoin/ether fulfilled their potential, wouldn't that mean the US dollar would fall as the world reserve currency and thereby weaken the US government's influence? This seems to be the main reason for introducing a CBDC as it gives nation states complete control over their money.

I've been mentally planning all of this in my head for when I move to a place with enough space. The amount of detail and research provided in one page is nothing short of astounding. I know I would have never done anything close to this level of work had I done it myself. This level is something else entirely.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm in a similar situation and asking myself "what's the best that could happen" makes me feel surprisingly uncomfortable.

ELI5 someone please.

I would like nationalization if it were split up into a research co-op with manufacturing contracted out to US companies. I would like to maintain some level of competitiveness but also have knowledge sharing across research teams.

I think it's smarter to go after automation and consumption than land value tax as of this moment. It's a lot harder to measure the true value of land compared to consumption. Also, the VAT can also be adjusted for non essential goods. Consumption is quite strong in this country. It's wise to target that.

this is very inflammatory and false. The VAT is not highly regressive. Money is power but poverty stricken people literally have zero money. How are gov't "programs" going to help? democrats love "programs" because it just gives them something to show off. it hardly solves any real problems.

I doubt you've lived through any sort of poverty or have felt like the walls were closing in on your life, but people live that everyday. For those that have been through it, it hardly feels like a "weird 10x play"

he's not too early. the conditions out there are really bad in the middle of the country. a negative income tax is ultimately regressive at its incentives are likely to keep people in poverty.

The most exciting thing about UBI is how versatile its benefits are for human resilience.

Work conditions unfair? you have a much easier time quitting knowing you won't be stuck with 0 income.

Politics overrun with corporate money? flush it out with grassroots donations now that you have some pocket money.

Sick of the day to day grind? take your money to a community that fits with your personality now that every community is getting a massive cash injection

Worried about a president like Trump cutting your SNAP benefits again? Opt-in to UBI and never worry about your funds getting cut without the entire country getting infuriated.

People rarely feel this level of freedom. I've only felt this level of security recently but I believe everyone deserves this. I was only lucky to have made it this far from the opportunities given to me by my parents and the support I had when I couldn't stop fucking up. People need to be able to take risks and have retries. Without it, you get people working jobs they hate while envying lives they'll never have.

The academic rigor that nurses and PA's must go through is not the same as a doctor. There are many instances where a nurse or a PA would unknowingly pass something off as normal when a more trained eye could save a persons life. We shouldn't be dumbing down our medicine. Create more medical schools while keeping the bar high for quality of care.
