Can you 'live long and prosper' by learning economics from Star Trek? Or is that 'highly illogical?' - Phys.org.

Illogical.

🤞 The tomorrow I manage to get some re-writing and consolidation of some of the main bulk of the concept descriptions.

I know no dystopia that envisioned this possibility. https://x.com/mikiane/status/2030746128946237684

It seems like to me what all the major reactionary illiberal movements of the 21st century share in common. Whether it's Dugin's 4th political theory or the neoreactionaries within the US. All share in common the idea that the entirety of the enlightenment is a failure and the only alternative is to return to what preceded it.

It seems like to me they have essentially taken the liberal end of History that all alternatives have been tried and failed one step further. By concluding that liberalism is also a failure and the only alternative is to return to what came before liberalism. To tradition.

Honestly I genuinely think the liberal end of History that was declared at the end of the Cold war was one of the worst messages that could have been delivered on the global scale. Since it was a fundamentally conservative message that killed off any radical imagination. Any imagination of achieving a post scarcity future beyond capitalism.

What we need to do is revive the future. To show the possibility that we can achieve a post scarcity civilization beyond capitalism. If liberalism represents the present and reactionary illiberalism represents the past we must represent the future.

“I don’t think we can all be working 15-hour weeks right now. But is the right number 25? 35?”

Don’t forget the human capacity to generate nearly illimitable make-work.

A World Without Work?

"...there are too few jobs for too many people. But it ignores the actual sources of this trend: deindustrialization, depressed investment, and ultra-wealthy elites who stand in the way of a post-scarcity society."

This.

This is why I focus on food.

This is why I'm building apparatus and infrastructure for me and my neighbors to have free food. Post-scarcity food.

It isn't "being kind". It isn't "out of the goodness of my heart" or "altruism". Or any other dismissive infantilization. (I do care. People should be kind. We *can* take care of each other out of love and support and we should! But I fucking hate that dismissive bullshit attitude from folks who idealize greed and power and oppression).

I build mutual aid to remove the leverage of those that exploit and harm others.

Here is a perfect example of what I am fighting: ICE is using starving kids - a situation they and the people that deploy them have intentionally created - to kidnap and exploit kids.

If everyone was fed, they couldn't use this leverage. (If everyone had universal healthcare, corporations would lose one more means of exploitation. Et cetera, et al.)

Food is power dynamics.
To be fed is to be free.
