  • I was actually referring to his campaign before he obtained the Infinity Stones to enact his “final solution”. He references it in Infinity war when talking to his “daughter” trying to make her see his way by telling her that her home planet had become a “paradise where no child goes hungry”.


  • We as a species, at this very moment in time, have the physical and technological capability to feed every man woman and child on the planet, yet there’s somehow not enough food to feed all people and groceries are more expensive than they were 100 years ago. In terms of shear volume, you can stack all of humanity in one small corner of the grand canyon but “there’s not enough room for people to live in a home.” yet millions of houses and apartments stand empty as placeholders for equity and investment.

    Scarcity is a choice, not a fact of existence. Stop buying the propaganda.


  • It is widely understood that Thanos was insane. Resources aren’t naturally limited and his campaign of slaughtering half the populations of planets didn’t ensure plenty for the masses. What he accomplished was to teach otherwise isolated civilizations that unless they put aside their differences and worked together they were vulnerable to devastating attack.

    The only scarcity there is or ever has been is artificially created by either ineptitude or purposeful in order to prop up the wealthy who are given ownership of land and resources.

    If he truly wish for a prosperous universe he would have snapped those fingers and installed the knowledge to create a post scarcity society on every planet with intelligent life in all beings. Because with all things the answer is EDUCATION NOT DEATH.






  • Generally speaking, I don’t argue with strangers on the internet with the goal of changing their minds or “educating” them. I mean, I do start with that intention…who doesn’t? But by the time I am finished, I realize that I’m just clarifying my own thoughts and positions in my mind.




  • I’m actually kicking myself a little bit. I was having some trouble with my processor and decided to get a replacement and I got a one-to-one replacement and I actually should have gotten the absolute limit of what my motherboard was capable of handling. I didn’t do that and now my computer is just shy of being able to run Diablo 4. 😒


  • Future proofing does not require you to shell out a ton of money. I spent less than $1,000 building my machine back in 2012, buying each part individually as I went when I could save up the money. And I didn’t actually put the thing together until 2016 or so cause my previous machine was working fine at the time. (Still is actually, as a file server in my basement) It just takes a modicum of planning and research on compatibility and what technologies are being used in cutting edge games and programs.

    Or, I should say it did. Nowadays everything has become so stupid expensive because of the race to the bottom AI Data center bullshit corporate destruction of the retail market. Though, I kind of saw this coming and bought a whole mess of parts right after Trump was elected so that I can build a decent machine to use once the one I have is no longer viable. Which I have not reached yet…
