why cant we fix the world?
That little faggot needs to get a job.
Free will
>>691958993
Because it's full of corruption and greed

Yup, those parasites are everywhere.
>>691959304
Classic example of greed right here, folks.

there is no real reason for anyone to have > 5 billion in money
>>691959477
The simple fact that they can is reason enough. There is no need to justify anything.
The limit you set is entirely arbitrary.
If you had more than 5 billion dollars, you wouldn't have that opinion.
How about you stop being a self-righteous faggot for a bit.
because we're the reason the world is shit in the first place
>>691958993
Let's start with the rich niggers who make 3 million dollars each time they bounce and shoot a rubber ball at a hoop for 60 min. They should share
>>691958993
because we don't give a fuck. at all.
>>691958993
Because people would rather feel sorry for themselves and feel entitled to handouts and they're also under the impression that those of us who aren't lazy pieces of shit and actually work for a living, don't have our own problems. These people are fucking cancer. Oh and also the jew propaganda forcing us to pretend all races are the same and being a faggot isn't an illness. The world is going to absolute shit. I always wanted kids but I'm not going to force an innocent life into this fucking mess.

/thread
>>691961768
this is something i agree with
however i don't feel like everybody should be shared with, only those who can't work.
i would probably be dead if i didn't get financial help from the state.
there is no workplace that wants a broken worker that may or may not be able to work at least two days in a row.
i hate not being able to earn my own money but its the only choice i got
>>691958993
Poor people should get a job
>>691961768
yup definetly sport dosnt worth so much money ... i live in spain so i know how frustrating is for the people to know that some of random dude who's good at kicking a ball wins more in a year then what he will get on his entire life.
>>691958993
donating would be a way to help the poor, but you can't really trust these donation-organizations (or what are they called) when some of these were caught stealing the money..

>>691958993
I know lots of rich people and all are very generous, give loads to charity. Not to mention the taxes they pay that get redistributed to poorer people.
>Rich people do share
>>691958993
Because we blame our problems on rich people
>>691958993
Because
A - No one is willing to make the sweeping changes in thought and attitude that such a thing would require
B - Jews
>>691958993
because people indoctrinate their kids with their opinions, thus brain washing them since childbirth.

Athletes don't just make money out of thin air. It comes mainly from companies who are using their image to make even more money. Fame itself can make money. Being in the right place at the right time can make money. Its not unfair or unjust, its just another way to make money from people who want to give them their money.
>>691965141
Sounds like if you were a danger, you should stay in business.

>you're a fucking retard and this line of thought combined with trickle down economics is why the country is shit today

no, they're just in areas that gives more money.
And usually, it's a fucking incentive.
" you study for 8 years to be a doctor, here, have a 6k/month salary. "
that's human, and it's disgusting.
>>691965396
Well this prevents competition which allows established companies do whatever the fuck they want including but not limited to reducing overall quality and raising the price of the product for no aperrent reason.
The "two" biggest sellers of electronics in germany are part of the same company - for two reasons: a) it's forbidden by law that one eats the other b) people can be tricked into thinking they have a choice.
>>691965882
yeah once you have capital you can invest it to so you don't have to do menial tasks that a monkey could do yourself. some people are monkeys, and will go on doing monkey tasks forever. not only can they never put together the capital to hire other monkeys, they would be unable to do the more complicated tasks involved in non-menial labor.
>>691966113
This.
So many professions being paid bullshit amounts, for hardly any actual labor.
I guarantee that in any hospital, nurses are doing way more than any doctor.
Most doctors, unless they're running their own practice are nothing but paper pushers, signing off on stuff that nurses could do themselves.

>implying that most rich people aren't born rich

Besides nursing, business degrees are the number one major in most colleges.
And aside the from the math involved in higher economics, none of it is challenging.
The hardest part is probably the public speaking courses.
>>691966113
This, this, this; and I'm in a stem degree. I really don't believe that I deserve $60K a year just for fapping my way through a bachelor's in engineering.

I never understood why rich people don't share until I became well off myself. When I was a lazy sack of shit, all I did was sit around coveting what rich people have, or anyone with means who were better off than I was. Then I got off my ass and joined the military. For the cost of 4 years of my freedom, I got 4 years of college paid for. Which was a pretty good deal honestly bc what the fuck else do you have to do between the ages of 18 and 22? Ironically, that's the typical age range of entitled little shits like most you who sit around and cry "share the wealth" bc you just can't wrap the concept of doing something with your life beyond jerking your little cocks to girls who don't give you the time if day bc you're all a bunch of losers with no jobs and shit. But I digress...
It wasn't until a few years ago, I was about 32 years old and hit six figures for the first time that I realized why rich people don't want to share their wealth. Bc it's hard earned. And I'll be goddamned if some entitled little shit like you is going to prosper in any way from the hard work I've put in for 20 fucking years while you sit around coveting what I have bc you're too lazy to get it yourself. I'm definitely more conservative now than I was at your age bc I've learned the value of money. My parents never gave me shot. I left home at 18 and have built a life of my own with my own bare hands and my advice to you is you best figure the shit out bc no one is going to give you a goddamn thing. And if you're my age and you still think I ought to share my wealth bc you're too lazy to earn it yourself, go fuck yourself.
>>691967353
I like to think people should be granted the fairest product for the money they pay and this is only guaranteed when two or more companies fight for the customers.
Or would you prefer to get a shitty product because someone else decided that he doesn't make enought profit off your money?

rich people should not share. most of them actually work for thier shit.

So be it. If the Deus ex Machina deems it necessary to save the planet and the species. I dont think it would actually nuke us though, it would be way too smart and subtle for that. If it wanted a substantial part of the population dead it would simply make it so over the course of a few weeks. It would invent our demise in ways we cannot begin to imagine. We would be powerless against it.
Sometimes things have to die so other things can live.
>>691967685
>it's not bad because it's not illegal
All i'm saying is that competition is an important maybe THE most important part in a working economy, and yes, i think companies have a moral obligation to not sell out to their enemy.
Think of Adobe for instance: There was a company making a Flash-Programm. They only agreed to be bought because the people from Adobe promised to keep the project running. They stopped the project, payed a fine and the price for a license of adobe flash for private use is at about 10k.

> why can't we fix the world.
A. Because too many people, when you fix for one group, you break for another.
B. There is nothing to fix, world is fine the way it is. The problem exists within the eye of the observer.
C. Entirety of history/future is a process, it's not pretty process but pretty is subjective and the world/universe don't care for pretty or right/wrong.
Take your pick.
if the rich shared we would have a communist society, which would be fine if it didn't completely fuck over the workforce. Have an completely equal society where everyone earned about the same amount of money regardless of occupation is good and all until people start realising that they are working hard for no reason. Example: whats the point in inventing a world changing product if you just going to get the same amount of money as everyone else? Why would you work hard in your school years to become a doctor if you are going to earn the same as a brick layer?
>>691966718

>>691968428
And when im not in germany. So they are what just big box stores? They dont produce, they just sell right? Cool. What i would do is start a small electronics selling store, mainly just buying stuff from ebay, and either hiring a guy who can fix electronics or learn it myself. So we take these ebay electronics, refurbish them, and sell them for about 25% mark up from what i purchased them on ebay, than sell them in store or resell on ebay, while im not selling i pimp out my repair guy to do cheap in home fixes/installations, also when he isnt doing this we make some slap dash youtube repair videos to get a small amount of revenue/name recognition. See it isnt hard to make a business, people just dont want to.

>>691968603
Richfag here. I dont think its wrong that we pay a higher share in taxes. So long as its not over the top, like tax rates over 50% for higher brackets, i think its fine. We rich folks benefit from the government and the economy and the infrastructure arguably more than poor people do. Also, we can afford to pay a higher share of the bill and its better for society as a whole if those of us who can afford to pay, do pay a higher share.
That being said, I think capitalism like we have in the US is the best way to run an economy. But progressive taxes and benefits for the poor are things we can afford as a society and these make our society stronger.
>>691968927

Requires a building, preferrably bought, but rent would also work and not to shady looking in a good position, a bit of cash to buy shit and eat and pay. Oh yea, the customers will need some reason to even check out your store, so need some commercials aswell.

Moreso with the advance of technology and the automation of so many tasks.
Companies are making profit on this by pressuring salaries to the low "you don't want to work for a slave wage ? Step aside there is X millions unemployed that will take the spot"
And they pressure more and more the low paycheck by moving population from the poor countries to the western ones.
But good for you for liking to be a slave.

Exactly. It would have to be fundemantally coded with the will and the desire to improve the lives of all humans. This is basic stuff, but have to watch out for the pitfalls. If, for example, we gave it instructions to make all humans happy, we would be likely to end up as brains in jars being stimulated electrically to be happy.

well, i work at a road milling company and we do contracts for state, which has a very minimum of like 40 an hour, 10 hours days 5 days a week minimum. i usually work around 80-90 hours a week though. but we're not always on contract, so at least half the year i ,make 18 an hour as in shop mechanic. i got my camaro for 22,500, which is like 3 grand less than msrp. my monthly payment comes out to 966 dollars a month because im paying it off in two years at a 3% financing rate. my weekly pay is never exactly the same every week but i make anywhere from 900 a week all the way up to around 2,600. 4,000 was the most i've ever made in a paycheck. rent is 500 bucks, insurance is 379, phone is 80 and internet is 90. i don't have cable because who needs it anymore? so owning that camaro is pretty easy.
>>691970682
Not really, i work in IT so i have the "skills" to survive this generation.
But we have to face the fact that we will never have enough jobs for everyone.
Companies and ceo are making more and more profit while people are getting less and less. The gap beetween richs and poors is only increasing and it's not by magically asking for people to "get a job" that somewhat they will find a job.
>>691971175

Ok, so instead of incentivising people to get this skills, we should what? Just give money to them? There will always be jobs to do, and when there isnt than we can talk about communism. But we are hundreds of years away from that

Eh, call it a closed system with a subset of laws that only work there.

Simulation theory is compelling for anumber of reason.
1) the logic is very sound.
2) we would probably not be able to tell the difference.
3) Fermi's Paradox solved.
I'm not so sure though. We need some kind of physical evidence or its just like string theory, fanciful maths with no real evidence. A time waster.
That kid does not understand that rich people do share, they are taxed the fuck out off to pay for your food stamps and assistance, quit bitching.
Food Stamps: $36/yr
Corporate subsidies: $6000/yr, $1,231 of it goes to making up for revenue losses from corporate tax havens.
Keep doing the conservative thing and blame welfare for your high taxes.

>>691972273
Sure. Just up the minimum wage a bit. There is always manual work. Lawn care, pool care, cooking, cleaning, etc. Go right now and look at indeed.com for job listings in your area, bet your there are hundreds if not thousands of jobs

Riiiiight, "donations". That's called tax free money.

>>691972273
Ask yourself what is a job and why people get payed for it.
A job is an activity other people don't want to do or can't do which they are willing to pay for - therefore do something else instead. Certain jobs will grow proportionally with the population, most will not because of limiting factors. (You can't be a farmer or miner if you live in a city.) This is the point where you'll have to get creative in order to get employed - this is why we have artists and people who lecture about male privilidge at universities. Everyone who's not strictly working to put food on the table or a roof over your head. Some can adapt, some can't. Humanity just doesn't give a fuck if a hobo dies in the street.
>>691971967
There is not enough job for everyone stop thinking otherwise.
All the minimum wage works can be done by machine/moved to china/third world countries.
If everyone is more qualified, it become the same, wages are pressured since there is more people that can do the job, then there is more people able to do the job than jobs available.
I live in Europe where nearly 50% of my wage is taken from me. And I don't give a shit, I still make enough to live as i want and i know that if one day i get fucked i can rely on the govt.
This generation is fucked, we have enough to share but greedy mofos can't stop increasing the gap beetween rich and poor.
When the working class stops listening to right wing media then there will be change for the better. No more Daily Mail, No more Sun.

You know, it took nearly 50 years of fanciful math to prove that if you integrate E•dA, it equals the charge of an object/epsilon of zero. Finally a dude named Gauss solved the problem.

There are jobs, and in europe the menial pays well. I dont understand how you can claim there isnt work when there is. We arent fucked, because even if this elite is widening the gap it will rubberband eventually. You cant pay people less and less, while upping the price of goods. It isnt sustainable, quit thinking it can.
>>691973289
And once all this automation happens then we can talk about communism. Capitialism is building this world, and communism will rule it. But if we implement communism too early, it will fail.
>>691972774
Wht would we work? Everything is free. Humans will pursue living. Working will mean learning. We will only progess
>>691973223
That's a bit beyond my capabilities. I remember the guy who solved Fermat's last theorem though, but to what end exactly? Other then his own personal gains I mean. What exactly do we as a species stand to gain from Gauss' work?
>>691972929
More and more the jobs you speaks of are automated.
What are people supposed to do ?
Learn more skills ?
Then the jobs with more skills will get paid less.
Same shit goes on and on.

>>691958993
And what will he contribute? Fucking bums and niggers will always want something for nothing.
Everyone in this thread is neglecting the fact that 80% of the worlds population is living in extreme poverty ($10 or less a day).
To me, that's pathetic. When even in the US we have cities that look like they should be in a fucking third-world country.
We can't fix the world because it's an extremely complex issue that can't be solved by any single solution. The people in charge don't want it to change either.
We don't even know what would happen if you distributed enough wealth across the planet so everyone had decent quality of life - and some people think that it's a bad idea.
The people who complain about 'get a job' and 'people are too lazy to work' etc. have not done their research on economics, they feel threatened by giving less fortunate people who don't work the means they need to live reasonably well by our standards.
>>691973289
>What kind of job do you mean?
Pretty much everything that requires creativity. (Art, engineering, design.) In the end 1000 humans working on a project are still cheaper then a super computer.
>Programmers are also being replaced by ai
It's called optimisation and it can't make up logic, it can just write the same code in different ways or try a random approach. (Am i wrong?)
>>691973556

I've been talking about this all morning with my sister, the world is fucked and I'm about to step out until the revolution, if there will ever be one. The whole world has been upside down since Reagan fucked the pooch. Before then taxes were common to all people around 80% even the rich
>>691973860

As long as there are human beings, it cant be fixed.
Because different human beings have different ideals, goals, and moral limits they are prepared to act according to.

Note that people from 30 years ago thought they hit the end of everything you could possibly ever need in a computer. Today we know people found ways to justify better machines - starting from shit like graphical interfaces to games and animated movies up to online streams.
There are still problems to be solved (i remember there was some internetsite for this lol) and i am truely happy for this. You just have to be brave enought to attempt to tackle the biggest problem you could possibly get into and keep working on it till you die.

>>691974645
Then why try to force ideals from that sort of existence on us? You have have to have incentive to do a job. That incentive is money and health care. If everything was free, there would be no incentive to work, thus there will be no production as everyone would be lazy as fuck until we run out of food the first year or so. Then it would be pure anarchy.
>>691958993
if i worked hard for my fortune, do you expect me to just hand over a chunk of that hard earned cash to some nigger on the street who can't even be bothered to hold down a job due to him trying to be a "gangsta"? Fuck no. Equality =/= Justice.
That would encourage the lazy and poor to keep being lazy since they will profit off the hardworking middle to upper class. Fuck that shit. Opportunities should be equal, not this equal society bullshit.
>>691974873
So, we shouldn't do anything until everything is done? Seems contradictory, do you assume the switch from capitalism to communism will happen in 24 hours? Or are we doomed to spent another century with capitalism until all communism kinks are worked out?
Never mind that capitalism seems to work equally shitty for the average person.

>>691975374
Listen, communism can only be achieved once everything is automated, otherwise there will be unequality. Im not thinking this will happen overnight, but each time a job becomes automated this is another step, another nudge towards communism. If we implement it now, where is the incentive to automate jobs that havent been automated. In the capitialist system automating jobs is incentivised and encouraged. So just chill, equality will happen to humans, we just might not see it. And dont say we are doomed to capitialism

I think we're on the same page but differ on the amount of time needed.
Also, I see no reason why we can't move towards it already. I'm not saying become communist now. But try to reduce inequality and even out opportunities now, because I fear it will take long enough to change current structures.
Also, the longer we wait the more rigid they'll become.
>>691958993

>>691975914
I'm pretty sure the average computer can calculate better than the average human.
I get that were still important for the theoretical part and coming up with the structure.
But unless you're one of the top mathematicians in the world, working on one of the centuries problems, any computer would be more efficient that a person.

He's entitled to keep what he's earned. No one else is entitled to his shit. Especially not some hipster millennial with a bachelors in feminist dance therapy and $40k in student loans. Your life choices dictate how your life turns out. Maybe if you would've got an engineering degree instead you wouldn't be busking on the street for food money. Choices. And education. Maybe if we quit telling everyone they're special and stop handing out participation trophies and instead of telling a kid "hey, you can be whatever you want" tell them "you'd better get a decent degree that is actually worth something or learn a trade because money is more important than how you feeeeeeeeeeeeeel" then we would stop having to have this argument. Are you poor? You probably only have yourself to blame. Suck it up. Get a job. And take your newfound income and shove it up your ass. You're not getting mine.

Everything will be controlled. Humans will get everything free. Yes human will work. A part of mankind was/will never be lazy.

Because nobody has really thought of a way to incentivize people to act in ways we know will improve society.
Capitalism manages to encourage some benefit, but it mainly encourages gaming the system.
>>691958993
Because the world perhaps is and always was exactly the way it ought to operate, and we're too self-involved to realize it.
The world is filled with duality. One end of a spectrum cannot exist without the other, and it is this dualism that motivates progress toward an unforeseeable, eschatological finale.

Excluding public figures I.E.: kardashians etc etc

Those are another set of people that need to be at the top of the list along with basketball players. People who are famous because they fucked basketball players.

If its survival instinct how do you explain millennials, which 1/3rd of them are currently living with their parents in some fashion. BTW, I am a millennial, though an old. I did live with my father for a time to save up and go back to college.
I'm working class and I'd spit in this kid's face. The rich should share? Nigga fucking work, the rich share enough already. You think the majority of rich people just popped into existence rich?

So enlightenment is only for a few? My eg of the brown nigger in the 3rd world working for less than 10$ kicks in. That nigger works harder than the rich entitled fags here but he aint got enlightenment. Tomorrow he detonates a self trigger 1000 mile bomb and the world labels him a paki. That nigger mentally challenged nigger. But who cares about enlightenment now?

If you think that it's unjust then become a doctor yourself. But no excuses excuses. Supply and demand.
>>691958993
Poor people should share, too.
>>691958993
we have allowed currency to be a thing, it's our fault that paper has more control over us than we do ourselves.
>>691966113
Yes, because it's not like doctors save lives with complex medical practices or anything...
Why don't you complain that professional athletes earn too much?
You should work for yourself and earn your living, of course.
Unless you're disabled or actually can't work.
But, if you heave hundreds of millions to billions of dollars, which means you can help people and you don't; you are a nigger in the highest regard.

rich people did not get rich by being nice, they got rich by being mean dirty cut-throat business owners that trample on everyone they can
>>691958993
Anybody who works in nonprofits can attest that rich people do share.
>>691979567
People that decides to born and rise in a poor family is as stupid as those who decide to born in a poor country or disabled. It's their fault. Don't help them cause they took the wrong decision.

If I were making that much I'd say I'm successful as fuck. God dammit, I'm proud of it, and you can bet your sorry nigger ass I'm not giving you a single cent of it. No free rides. If you want money then work for it. Don't expect richfags to give anything to dindu cancer.
>But much poverty
Get off your lazy ass, work, and stfu.

Because of our behavioral patterns. Because of the way civilizations had to start off. There was no instruction manual; trial and error (and hopeful innovation followed by strenuous, sometimes flawed translations of information) was all we had. Sometimes, that resulted in some unfortunate practices (preying on the weak is easy, and no one lives forever). Nowadays, it's still what people are used to, by and large. By no fault of their own, surely- it's always been that way. It's all they know, and it's all they can perpetuate. There is no grand reset button that doesn't carry unsavory consequences for most.
No one, at the core, wants to change so hastily. For many reasons, of many respective magnitudes. We are creatures of habit- memory is our inherent nature, both as an agent, and even as our biological programming. Understanding something, at it's best, takes many tries. New things are indeed hard before they are easy, and hard requires more work. Which may sound senseless if you can breathe and reproduce still and can find no fault in your local place of residence.
We can definitely change the world. It's certainly not beyond us, it never was. The better question, is what you would think fixing the world would be, and what you believe is broken in the world.

No. It's because you're not rich.
If you would get rich or influential, you could positively influence the world.
But you're just a parasite who calls rich people greedy just because the don't want support parasites until they prove to be worth of any help
>>691959473
Calling parasites parasites is common sense not greed you parasite
>>691982808
Die bastard.

The issue revolves around how you know people are parasitic leeches, as opposed to incapable of showing you that they are worth any help because they don't have the resources.
Not everyone just -gets- rich or influential. It requires an exchange of work or action. That's like giving someone a gun, and telling them to shoot something, when the closest ammunition store is 28 km away. How do you expect all randomly selected individuals to shoot a gun, if not all of them walk around with ammunition in their back pockets?
To add, there are obviously people who do questionable things with their money. 4chan is a shining example- look at all those body pillows. Look at all those creep shots, all those cheese pizzas. Some people support rich parasites that feed off of their sycophant nature- rich parasites who, otherwise, would not be rich if they hadn't gotten exposure they never earned in the first place.
