Sovereign Wealth Funds are powerful tools capable of transforming temporary resource windfalls into permanent economic security. However, their ultimate success depends entirely on governance. #ai #politics #economics #law #errtling #wealth

A quotation from Basil the Great

You seem to have great possessions! How else can this be, but that you have preferred your own enjoyment to the consolation of the many? For the more you abound in wealth, the more you lack in love.
 
[ἀλλὰ μὴν φαίνῃ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά. Πόθεν ταῦτα; ἢ δῆλον ὅτι τὴν οἰκείαν ἀπόλαυσιν προτι μοτέραν τῆς τῶν πολλῶν παραμυθίας ποιούμενος. Ὅσον οὖν πλεονάζεις τῷ πλούτῳ, τοσοῦτον ἐλλείπεις τῇ ἀγάπῃ.]

Basil of Caesarea (AD 330-378) Christian bishop, theologian, monasticist, Doctor of the Church [Saint Basil the Great, Ἅγιος Βασίλειος ὁ Μέγας]
Sermon (368 ca.), "To the Rich [Ὁμιλία πρὸς τοὺς πλουτούντας]" [tr. Schroeder (2009)]

A quotation from Lovecraft

As for the Republicans — how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their yes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously ) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license, or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical “American heritage” — economic oversight, price-fixing, “government in business”, etc. recur often in American colonial history) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead.

H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) American fabulist [Howard Phillips Lovecraft]
Letter (1936-08) to Catherine L. Moore

How real women dressed over the ages

A lot of fuss and attention is given to how wealthy women dressed in ancient times. Yet for every affluent woman there would be 10 other women of more humble origins, toiling and working in low paid and thankless jobs. Here are some really incredible videos that showcase how these women dressed over time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t__RhUyZMDM

Women in lower paid vocations have always wanted to look well turned out and polished and spent a great deal of their wages and energy on inventively finding ways to look more wealthy and maintaining a sense of dignity and self-worth through their clothing,

Design as a clue to women’s daily challenges

How garments were designed gives us clues to their use and the daily challenges that women faced, which were often cleverly overcome by the design.

Hidden buttons in a pinafore protected WW2 nurses from scratching a patient lying down.

Hidden pockets in a dress in the 14th century allowed a woman’s purse to be concealed from view and prevented theft.

A hairpin worn in the hat of a suffagrette in 1910 could be used in self-defense if she was attacked by a mob while protesting.

Sumptuary laws

The law prohibited poorer people from using certain trims, fabrics and even colours. This dictated what clothes they could wear and how they could look.

“Laws made for the purpose of restraining luxury or extravagance, particularly against inordinate expenditures for apparel, food, furniture, etc

When I look at these clothes, some of them seem fussy and time-consuming to put on. Although some are so feminine and beautiful that I really wish they would come back into fashion. What do you think?

Here is Dolly Parton’s Jolene in medieval style…

#Brocialism: "Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday announced he will soon introduce legislation that would give the American public “a direct ownership stake” in the largest artificial intelligence companies in the #US by establishing a sovereign #wealth fund" https://www.commondreams.org/news/bernies-sanders-ai-sovereign-wealth-fund?utm_source=Common+Dreams&utm_campaign=329d644326-Top+News+%7C+Thu.+5%2F7%2F26_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-998917937b-600223291
Sanders Sovereign Wealth Fund Plan Would Give US Public 'Direct Ownership Stake' in AI Giants | Common Dreams

Sen. Bernie Sanders said his new bill would "guarantee that the trillions of dollars potentially generated by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us—not simply to make the richest people in the world even richer."

Common Dreams

@Nigel_Purchase I have the exact opposite issue:

  • We allow Billionaires exist at the same time people are starving!
    • And that makes their wealth immoral: They are a net negative to the world and act as value-removing rentseekers who's greed harms everyone not so rich neither them nor their offspring will ever have to do wagework in their lives!
