The world is now so full of ridiculous things that at least I struggle to deal with it all. But this is not an 'us' problem. The (political) world really is idiotic. I needed to vent a bit, so I made a list of things that are impossible to believe, yet are very much what is happening. Perhaps seeing it in writing will help you deal better with the situation. https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/the-impossible-things-we-have-to-believe/
@bert_hubert I, for one, do not believe the world should work like this and am trying to improve it in the small bits I can control. But yes, it takes real effort not to fall into cynical nihilism shortly after breakfast.
(And you didn't even mention wealth inequality in your essay.)
Take care, we are with many, but most need some prodding in the back. -

@bert_hubert The saddest part is, that none of the things you write about are unbelievable once we accept that capitalism inevitably has to turn into a fascist death cult if the soon to be trillionaires are to keep getting richer.

@bert_hubert mocht je er ooit zo klaar mee zijn dat je een partij start. Mijn stem heb je.
Er is niets bij in je verhaal waar denk ik teminste 60% van de Nederlanders het niet mee eens is.
Dus minister president Hubert... Go for it -

@bert_hubert Thanks a lot for writing that. It helps. I have mostly additional questions, sorry:
- A lot of problems are related to "Big sth". Can we make/keep power small?
- Politicians/bosses that act completely different than promised, without mentioning new circumstances and insights. Can we make that more difficult?
- Next to self-censorship there's also self-bribery
- What might seem like an innocent little preference, can result in systemic problems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Polygons -

@bert_hubert well, if Jan Rotmans is right, we are living through a transition period. At the same time we have a failing educational system with increasingly stupid people at graduation time. So, basically, we're doomed. If I was any younger I think I would be on the barricades.

@bert_hubert Isn't the "answer" to your open question just Ostrogorski's paradox? In the end it's all about priorities, making one topic politically (electorally) important leads to other topics getting solutions no one wants.

Adding the seventh incredibile thing, the larger repository of open source/ free software is owned by the most closed source, monopolist, AI addicted company, that freely can dig in the repository for their own interests. And it's icon is at the bottom of your blog page. -

@bert_hubert Zou dit allemaal misschien komen door het geloof dat oneindig economische groei mogelijk is op een eindige planeet?

@IngeMH20 ik probeer te voorkomen te grote theorieën te hebben over mensen. Ik weet wel zeker dat we als mensheid enorme moeite hebben met bedreigingen die wat verder weg zijn serieus te nemen. Als dat zou lukken zouden we niet zo stom stemmen.

@bert_hubert Thanks for ending with the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. As long as there is also still brilliant stuff like the Hitchhiker’s Guide, we’ll be okay. And so will you! You’re doing a lot of good.
