Imagine if we get a robust universal unconditional social dividend atop a properly adequate "basic income", accompanied by high quality free-to-use social services (including transport)... then we could:

Do what we're good at, what we love doing, and what needs done, fulfilling our passion and mission, not just our profession and vocation.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
More military propaganda convincing us they're hippies.
Remembering sept 10th, 2001, hearing about 2.3 trillion missing...
... doubting Trump's an architect, nor even operator, nor even agent, and continuing to presume merely asset.
Even a flat robin-hood style redistribution of all billionaire wealth gets us each a few grand, utterly dwarfed by how much richer we each and all are with the emancipatory technologies no longer being suppressed and inventors no longer being "disappeared".
Keep reminding the billionaires even they are better off with prolific provisioning of emancipatory technologies... no longer having to watch their back.
Do you have spaceships yet? And the reassurance that no one is trying to take yours?
Spaceships for everybody.
No cull necessary. Nor any billionaire ploys to pit us against each other. Nor any perpetuation of slavery and oppression via manufactured scarcity, nor the lethal mayhem pantomime of resource wars.
Remember a third of a year before that (^ sept 10th 2001), the disclosure project conference at the press club? And the free energy conferences around the same time. ... Before they initiated the cascade of contingency plans for mass distraction to allow the continuation of the PNAC's hegemonic jingoistic global domination plans (and the plans within that, and within which the PNAC sits) [the fake [but still lethal] terrorist thing, pandemic thing, [burgeoning] nuclear war, [upcoming] alien invasion, with side dishes of climage disaster [weather warfare weapons] throughout and economic/energy collapses peppered around]. We were headed for skipping ahead to the star trek future, and better. We still could sublimate to that. As I recall from those free energy conferences, there had already been over 3000 free energy device patents secreted by the year 2000 according to patent office whistleblower Tom Valone.
We have so much headroom, without the crooks keeping us down.
Imagine if we obsoleted the billionaire producing paradigm, reminded all would be billionaires that even they are richer in ending manufactured scarcity and embracing abundance.
No more billionaires, nor their puppets of hate.
Keep on dreaming while learning to learn, y'all. :)
... or so I aspire manifest.
... so much headroom...
That's a lot of someones,
given the related issue, best expressed by Upton Sinclair: It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding.
Not the healthy kind of "not being convinced", of curious open minds.
Hrmm.
Seeing this again reminds me when I was recently told saying "Democrats" instead of "Democratic Party" is an indicator of having been watching too much right wing media.
House Democrats
Man smokes cigarette while receiving sloppy toppy from mentally unstable woman
You’d be amazed at how often this happens
I've been doing autism wrong.
Friends looked at me weird when I pointed out I've eaten babies.
... Then I pointed out what I meant.
Then, with their ignorance shattered, they looked at themselves weird too.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it's what sprang to mind...
After abstaining from magic mushrooms for 2 years, fasting for 24 hours, then mid day, on that empty stomach, consuming uncounted tens of grams of dried, freshly fine-powdered, very strong northern psilocybe semilanceata, hot, in just lemon juice, and chugging that pint of thick mushroom super-lemony brew down as fast as I could. It started coming on FAST and STRONG. I ran the 3 strides to the bathroom sink with need to purge, which didn't last long nor purge much of it... clinging to the sink as I slumped down, with the trip immensity roaring at the doors bursting in at all the seams, I tried to steady myself, I meditatively focused on a drop of water, empathising with it likewise clinging to the underside of the sink. I empathised my way instantly to know where every molecule, and every atom, of the water in there, had ever been, and it was a short jump from there to realise I could do that with everything, ... and this was only in the beginning seconds of the hours long trip, the ability to see behind things, to know from every perspective, everybody, all time, all times, all dimensions all places... I cant speak to it really, only to say I remember I did experience it. Can't take it all back with you.
First exchange with other people after I came out of the toilet, friends had come around, one asked "how was it?", and with it all still being fresh, the immensity of having experienced omniscience, sought to offer what I thought was the most beautiful thing of it all... I said, with all glowing reverie "I know death". The look of horror on the poor dear's face though. Ho ho ho.
But yeah, get that... we mere mortals, many, all around, can experience omniscience.
And many are [and ever have].
Say hi.

did someone tell you you'd regret that, and they were right?
How is it military propaganda? The plot is about a private military contractor destroying an ecosystem for profit, while there is nothing but good things being said about the way of life of the Na’vi.
But dont worry, there are good apples in the military, and the military paradigm is normal, and everything works out in the end, and you can be a good guy in the military, its fine that your bits get blown off because the military cares, and you can transhumanistically plug yourself in to your living war tech, and be the strongman hero at the head of a hierarchy, and win by being the better warring team, and so on.

And many other reveals of military ties to production, and analysis of the messaging, available with more thorough websearches on the matter.
Is Lemmy inherently more “social” and Mastodon more “individual” media?
In my experience on Lemmy over the past few years, compared to many years more on diaspora or mastodon, yes.
