       “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”Happy Birthday Ursula K Le Guin

       @Wolven Powerful words, and a reminder that hope isn't something we pine for but something we practice 💜

       @Wolven Thus then let us resist by speaking #Esperanto

       @Wolven In the near future, I intend to introduce a "better mouse" that will outcompete traditional #capitalism and provide workers with better wages and social security benefits.

       @Wolven This is why AI  is being used to take art away from us. By forcing creatives out of the artistic spaces, they seek to forestall their fall from power like some desperate parasite looking to survive if only it can siphon off enough blood.Just...One...More...Drop......

       @Wolven Sorry - I'm not trolling, but what alternative did the author of these words suggest? A world of sword and magic?

       @Wolven here here. Before we can build a better world we need a concept of one that enough people know well enough to discuss and work for - fiction helps with that because it can showcase such worlds to a wide audience.

       @MarkoHelgenko You say you're not trolling but that really sounds quite fucking dismissive, both in general and of one of the most visionary and impactful authors of the 20th and 21st centuries.Maybe go read her work, and ABOUT her work.

       @Wolven Exchange is in our nature, beneath king, capitalism or socialist komisar, capitalist markets always appear, organized under the sign of crime or, convenience. Thus far anyway. Design dreams of a perfectly frictionless and fair AI economy aside (I'm not sanguine about cyber libertarian wet dreams), historically capital pools like water at the lowest ethical points. Is all art doomed to producing fantasies of our better angels, who will always disappoint us? Opiates no less than religion?

       @WolvenA cynic might be tempted to point out that we have never stopped resisting and that the only thing that has changed is what we resist.Art makes it bearable.
