It's a government that takes human's corrupt tendencies into consideration. One that isn't swayed by financial gain or more power. This might actually become possible once the world becomes largely virtual in nature thanks to AI and immersive technology. Material possessions won't carry the same sway if digitization and extreme efficiency democratizes everything for everyone in such a post-scarcity world.

The most important thing is to move. Wake up a little earlier and go for a morning walk. If you're really motivated, deadlifts, squats, and sprints are the best for optimizing your body composition. "Sitting is the new smoking."

Everyone is creative when it comes to justifying their actions even if they're immoral or negatively affect others. Politicians' hypocrisy is just in the spotlight so everyone notices and calls them out on this. As long as humans are in office this will be an issue.

In order to be successfully "corrupt" and actually benefit from your immorality, you have to already be in a position of power, which usually takes a certain amount of education. It's human nature to take shortcuts at the expense of others.

Almost died in a car accident on the freeway. We think we have time. The end can come at any time. Cherish every second and be thankful for each breath.

Just one of those unanswerable questions for the time being that will continue to boggle our minds. I do think we are alone though. So many bizarre accidents took place to make "us" possible that I find it highly improbable that anything remotely similar could've been replicated.

The more digitized the world becomes, the less strain will be put on concrete resources. The entire movement is hugely beneficial for the environment. Also, more wealth in the hands of the public means more people with the power to make meaningful changes.

The majority of early adopters were most likely in it for the "right" reasons. They are the idealists who want to give more power to the people and evolve mankind out of a sense of duty. People who are investing now are probably in it for the money, but more wealth is almost always a good thing and will improve the lives for themselves and for those around them. Anyone who said money doesn't make you happy never had it. You need money to be happy, but you'll only be happy if you know how to spend it.

The whole point of an emergency fund is for it to be there in case of emergency, but most of the time, it serves it's greater purpose by giving peace of mind in case anything goes wrong. Don't invest it. Put money aside for investment purposes and you'll be more likely to make the right investment decisions because you won't be as stressed.

Everyone is fighting a battle that you know nothing about.

Go to the gym. Work harder towards something you care about. Anger is a powerful emotion and capable of producing a helluvalot of action. I try to use it to my advantage. Easier said than done. Above all, do not speak.

Power is largely decided by the amount of people you can influence, whether that be through money or otherwise. I'd say he does have "power," but it's definitely misused. Most politicians are compulsively addicted to power and too much is never enough, which is why a billionaire can still be motivated by political power and even more financial gain.

Yeah I think companies will be using similar systems to direct deposit for crypto payments. I'd imagine Amazon's idea of stores without checkouts would become a thing as well. You leave a store with the products and a crypto payment is automatically debited for what you owe. Not sure how paypal and other platforms will keep up..

You're right, and in some places it's worse than others, but in general moral education is becoming increasingly nonexistent. This is why they say "the midwest (US) is a good place to be from." No one lives there to feed their vanity. The cities aren't that nice, etc, but it's a good place to raise a family and people are generally kind-hearted.

With regards to hackers, I think this stems from the fact that we live in an age where we don't interact with people face-to-face as much, so we don't feel the harm we do to others is actually happening or is as problematic. Out of sight out of mind.
