  • This reminds me of the wealthy family in Gravity Falls. The daughter is a jerk to the main girl, Mabel, for petty reasons and the parents are exclusive jerks who think they are above everyone. End of series, the parents make “bad investments” by trying to profit off the apocalypse the main casts fixes, leaving them destitute.

    I hope this outcome happens outside of fiction. Not out of spite, but because I want people who have much to learn some humility and help their fellow man.





  • Automation and AI have the potential to put lots of people into unemployment in the next 20 years. For the sake of preventing that unemployment, it’d be good if people had fewer kids. Yet for some reason, governments struggle really hard to comprehend that simple connection.

    Because they assume all people will be consumers of goods. So if they have more people, there will be more consumers to buy things.

    Now the assumption falls apart in any rigor since automation means that less people are needed for labor and would have money to buy gods. But that requires a government that thinks beyond the limited lifetimes of those running the government.
