🤔What if the greatest president in US history is a woman that will get elected in the 2040s?

And she reverses climate change, ends world hunger, and leads the multinational effort that saves us from The Comet(tm)?

But she never exists?

Because she dropped out of politics?

Because of harassment?

@mekkaokereke I've often pondered what wonderous ideas, inventions, and innovative caring systems etc. we've missed out on by having the majority of humankind faced with headwinds created by our socioeconomic system benefiting a few rather than tailwinds lifting up anyone who wants help.

@virtuous_sloth @mekkaokereke A few years ago, the various tech billionaires were on a tour of media with their TESCREAL ideology, saying that if human kind can churn out today's number of "genius" people with a population of billions... imagine what we could achieve with a population of trillions?

Of course, they never considered the possibility of the *current* population having opportunity to be a genius, instead of pervasive oppression.
