What's the simplest thing humans are too dumb to grasp? - Lemmy.World
You ever see a dog that’s got its leash tangled the long way round a table leg,
and it just cannot grasp what the problem is or how to fix it? It can see all
the components laid out in front of it, but it’s never going to make the
connection. Obviously some dog breeds are smarter than others, ditto individual
dogs - but you get the concept. Is there an equivalent for humans? What
ridiculously simple concept would have aliens facetentacling as they see us
stumble around and utterly fail to reason about it?
The existence of poverty/hunger/homelessness in a post-scarcity world. if we wanted to eliminate those problems we could, but humans are blocked on how it can be done without hurting their own wealth.
Under capitalism, food isn’t produced to eat but to make profits. When it’s not profitable to sell, they will rather dump foods, starving the people rather than to plainly donate.
We produce enough foods to feed the entire population. But the sole purpose of food is to not feed the people, but to feed the greed of the producers, the farmers, the corporates.
Capitalism created an artificial scarcity of food where we produce too much food for the obese and throw the rest away to rot in front of the poor.
