what is longing other than protracted (and often unattainable) lust?

certainly a core emotion/trait to engrain/foster in a capitalist system, that's not to say, nor expected, that everyone ought to strive (a variant of longing?) for some aesthetic ideal... rather, a healthy/keen ability to discern frivolous shit and define oneself/others by the merit of their actions/character as opposed to their material accessories~ maybe.

nor is it advocacy for socialism, direct gov control of industry, or communism/collective-ownership (though sharing/cooperation is usually virtuous)-- hm, subsidized industry is indirect socialism? a free-market absolutist would argue that an enterprise should/must be allowed to succeed or fail on its own, why is it the role of government to provide welfare to an uncompetitive company (indeed, seems to only reward incompetitiveness-- a macro version of not wanting or needing to seek employment when you get a foodstamps, ya know)? To maintain employment? Is that not the precise function of a free market, to enable companies who can compete to replace those who can't... well, seemingly antiquated notions of nation-states and borders and such, aside. :/

Hm, instead of being a colonialist social-club, perhabs the un (or some such organization) could serve as the basis for global-citizenship. :D

Define problem and I'll give you solutions, if I'm capable, now it sounds like you're just talking.

But if you ask me how to run society or civilization, I don't have the answer, to pretty much anything. Other than that if you consider yourself a good person, you should be powerful and capable. That's it. For now. The fog of war is too thick. But in a sense, yes, there is a war. But, if there is going to be a moment of clarity and the fog is lifted, even for just a minute, and I feel like such a moment will come, we will need the good men to be capable, because if that opportunity comes, yet we don't have the ones to fill in the roles, well, that opportunity might come only briefly or only once. I have an intuition that it will come.. and within our lifetimes. A RARE opportunity that usually doesn't show up for hundreds or thousands of years. Prepare for that, not by building a tribe or a family, prepare it for it by building yourself. No one will agree with you on your politics and your metaphysics. No one. Yet collaboration is worth it. It's just that right now the fog of war is too thick to know what to collaborate on.. for the most part.. there may be a thing of or two, but BUILD YOURSELF, for the most part.. as you put yourself on the trajectory of those one or two things.

Overall though, all of this is barely of any importance in the grand scheme of things. Because... the grand scheme of things.. is rather grand.
