You need to surround yourself with family and friends you can trust. No man is an island. Fight for freedoms from state overreach, but give in to deep socialism with your people.

Roughly speaking, this is equivalent to feeding 40 percent of the world: about 3.2 billion people.

It turns out the experience of desire is shaped by the object of your desire. If you desire money, your desire will always seem pinched, and if you desire fame, your desire will always be desperate. But if the object of your desire is generosity itself, then your desire for it will open up new dimensions of existence you had never perceived before, for example, the presence in our world of an energy force called grace."

One somewhat optimistic counterpoint: humans need each other simply for good health and happiness. Thousands of years ago we needed tribes to survive, now we need tribes to thrive. If we thread the needle and find ourselves in a post-scarcity world where AI/robots produce our food and basic needs, we’ll still need and want each other. I’ll still grow my own food and share it with friends because it makes me happy. But it’s a hell of a delicate path to tread and unfortunately, a dystopian scenario such as yours seems one of the more likely outcomes. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks, chatgpt
