These are eatable numbers
On the local news, there once was a short report about a local artist - some hippie-like old man. He drew pictures, but also played music.
He talked about this fantastic idea of his: presenting his pictures with his music. As an extra gimmick, he produced little slideshows or animations from his pictures, accompanied by his music.
He was so was proud, like he basically invented moving pictures with sound - which is just a fucking video, isnât it?
The news also praised him, like he was being soo creative and a such an innovative artist - for making videos. Great!
Nah, in this setting I would ask myself:
Why do we require suits for a wedding? Weâre celebrating a couple, how does wearing a suit make it more celebratory?
And then probably go on a rant about our superficial society.
But the only wedding I would actually attend would be one where weâd sit on the ground in jeans and hoodies and pass a joint, or something like that.
Someone in a suit is always suspicious.
They play dress-up to represent something that they arenât, to get you to think that theyâre serious and competent.
Someone who really has competentence and something behind the looks can show up in rags and I will trust that person. Someone in a suit makes me question, what are they hiding? Why the need to show off?

Doesnât sound that bad actually
And this is just one thing we underestimated. I am sure there are many other factors which influence the climate that we either do not know yet or severly underestimate the effects that even a minor change will have. Have a nice life everyone!
What if I told you that you donât HAVE to
These were questions to ask yourself, to think about what really matters.
Wants do not equal needs. I might want to have a superyacht, but do I need one? Am I entitled to one? If I work âreally hardâ, is it fair that I get to spend tons of resources on my superyacht, while other people donât know how to feed their children?
Yes, other people might want luxuries and technology, too. But is it fair that these luxuries / wealth are accumulating in the hands of a few individuals while there are people in the world who literally live in the dirt without a roof?
Maybe, if I wasnât allowed to have my superyacht, we could improve living conditions for a lot of people, prevent people from dying etc. It is a distribution problem, and in a world of limited resources, we should strive to provide a more or less equal amount of wealth to every single human being, instead of a few guys having superyachts while others can barely afford shoes.
Also, since you wrote âfree countryâ I assume you are American - I really cannot understand how someone could in all seriousness believe that they live in a free country. This is not a free country, you are not free. Sure, we can argue about the definition of âfreedomâ, but from my point of view people are not truly free when there are economic constraints, you can get shot because your skin does not have the right color, because of your sexual preferences, or even just because you have a fucking multicolored flag outside your store.
I donât see myself as truly free either, but at least I have the possibilty to choose to do fuck all with my life, never working a single hour, never providing anything of âvalueâ to society, and still I get provided basic necessities and an monthly income which can finance a basic life. I will not die because I canât afford a doctor, I will not get shot because I am in the wrong neighborhood, police wonât approach me with drawn weapons if my skin is a little darker.
Now this got way too long, but maybe someone might read this some time and think a little bit about wants, needs, âfreedomâ and superyachts.
