#ScribesAndMakers 27Mar—What's a book that made you see the world differently? How?
Animal Farm - It opened my eyes to the existence of such foul behaviours (which are so very evident these days) in human beings.
1984 - Current media behaviour? Oh, YES!
The text is right, but MONEY does not buy happiness, other than in a "sufficient" quantity.
More than enough not being enough is the beginning of the affliction of the oligarchs.
Remove the pressures of survival and life certainly does become sweeter.
UBI, anyone?
Glad you've returned to writing... (and you have your muse for company).
...and I know about missing it - nothing for *?!+ months/years now. (My muse is A.W.O.L.)
Sadly, to get a nice internet back, you need to get nice users back - no oligarchs, no sycophants, no hackers, no 'fuck around and find out'ers, no magats, no mansplainers, no egomaniacal influencers who try to make millions of others pay them millions just for being their asshole selves...
So... I think the answer is no - unless more people focus on producing something like the fediverse for commercial activities - where vendors DON'T slap you with adverts and sign-ups...
