       45,000 years ago, a Neanderthal man experienced a crushing blow to the head that left him partially paralyzed for life, but his bones healed and he lived into his 30s or 40s, something only conceivably possible with the help of his community.45,000 years ago. But let’s pretend that 45,000 years later, we “can’t afford” universal healthcare.https://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/human-fossils/fossils/shanidar-1

       It’s important to understand that people—not even Homo sapiens!—living at what must have been the subsistence margin, without states or written language or metal tools or electricity or antibiotics, managed to keep this person alive. They devoted resources to his care and survival. He lived for years, possibly decades, with a severe disability at a time when his community would have been doing things like fighting off literal cave bears. Our society has inconceivably more material, social, and technological resources to bring to bear to help each other. We have no excuse.

       I’m trying to think of a comparable analogy. Imagine if our descendants from 45,000 years in the future time traveled back to us and, while showing off all the incredible marvels from such an unimaginably distant future, told us they don’t wipe their asses. Just walking around covered in their own filth all day. “We can’t afford it,” they tell us.

       @HeavenlyPossum If a town of less than 200 people can survive in a desert without technology, then a planet of 8 billion with advanced technology is infinitely wealthy and can accomplish anything it wills.

       @TrismegistusMx @HeavenlyPossum Can't help but think he was so wrong.

       @FinalCall @HeavenlyPossum he acknowledged that the biggest struggle would be wrestling power from those who benefit from inequality. At this point, every other conflict is completely optional.

       @TrismegistusMx @HeavenlyPossum Had a second thought about what you posted. I'm assuming that if the general population can't get the levers of power then all else will remain a second thought. Did I get that?

       @FinalCall @HeavenlyPossum we need a shift in thought more than anything. Once enough people realize that there's a better way, it becomes inevitable.

       @TrismegistusMx @HeavenlyPossum Being cynical isn't all it's cracked up to be, but it's what I got. I think the quote was pie in the sky and if by chance he was anything like me high in the sky.

       @Metamedia Actually because there was no profit back then no one ever did anything and they all starved to death and now we’re all just ghosts.
