Nothing’s more cruel than communism, nor more bloody (by contrast, “Mother Nature” is not bloody nor cruel). When one “abolish(es) competition and replace(s) it with association” (as The Principles of Communism puts it), the spirit of invention is banished and the spirit of man is crushed.

Good stuff there, Laz!

[blondiegoodbadugly]

Good read (maybe because I agree with you). :)

A commitment to work as a way of defining one’s value is a very American outlook that has helped us to obtain great wealth and influence for well over 200 years. There are some people who will adapt, flourish and experience joy in almost any situation, they may even inspire others, however barren, spartan or degrading their environment many appear to others. For most people, each new generation has to be taught or exposed to the benefits of doing a good job.

The importance of work or personal activity is not limited to paid employment. Many retired people continue to work each week, and almost for free. It’s not only about the paycheck. The incentive to keep active is often about wanting to feel needed and valued. The incentive is often about wanting a good reason to be with other people when we wish to. It fills up the day. It can helps us to remain good listeners, or to remain more articulate.

Many Sociologists are now toying with the concept of Basic Income for all. A guaranteed check each month whether you need it or not. Basic Income is going to be promoted heavily for the foreseeable future. The idea of money coming in without any individual effort is very tempting for many people. The danger is that with so many safety nets, and so little probable of material failure, most people will stop taking risks. Many innovative people I’ve met almost require a certain amount of tension to be present before they can really concentrate and pull their finest efforts out.
The next 30 years is likely to bring a dramatic change of what are seen as normal or usual expectations for anyone alive at that time. Robotics, Globalism, Capitolism and Theology will all play roles in how the world works.
This has always been the case, yes, but with the internet upon us now, everything has a way of happening very quickly.

Yes indeed. When one tries to be better and do better to please God all benefit. There is no indication that that occurs when government gives one everything

[ozaukeemom]

Pretty apt and now I have the song in my head.

As an aside, the video is a hoot!

Leftists often expose themselves accidentally. Hunger Games. Harry Potter. Each portrays totalitarian leftists but hangs it on a stereotyped right-wing hook. Hypocrisy and projection are endemic to leftism.

[Laslo Fripp]

I read the text as well.

Spot on, but deep for 3AM 😴

And I never heard of that song!

Thanks for the ping.

[PA Engineer]

Thanks for the ping. BTTT.

[Tax-chick]

Good thoughts, Laz.

You’ve got to be gruel to be chyme.
