    Indeed, I think something’s got to give if we’re to have any future worth living. Probably very many things should change. I’m a bit of an misanthrope myself, so getting used to more communal arrangements is painful.

    Would you be more likely to champion a less attractive option if it was part of a larger initiative to make a better world?

      If it would REALLY mean a thing? Yes. I would. I already work for free in a place where abused people end up broken and alone. Also gift away money to them, anonymously. They don’t even know from whence it came. Guess that counts as a “less attractive” option 😁

      But some half-assed wanna-be-feelgood thing? For some social-media-points? Naaah.

      And yup, misanthrope here. And we indeed need substantial changes. We all, no matter where, most of everything is bad anyway.

        Yeah we’re on the same page. I might be a little more tolerant of imperfect or half-assed attempts at a solution is all.

          I’m not that tolerant to half-assed :) If it wouldn’t net the wanted result, why even bother wasting precious time for something half-cooked? But probably depends on the what, where, when and why.
