    Bees and other insects are pollinators allowing food to grow. Say humans succeed at sealing themselves off in such a way that we can grow the food we need without impacting outside ecosystems.

    Would humans still need pollinators? Would human pollinator populations be separated from outside populations?

    The idea could inspire some entertaining science fiction. The best writer would probably have a background in Entomology and Horticulture.

    I respect this argument. I would like to know how Humans fit into the ecosystem.

    Humans tend to remove predators from population centers to prevent Humans from becoming prey. The culling of predators allow more prey animals to survive. Humans find themselves competing with prey animals for fruits and vegetables. Humans hunt prey animals to increase yields of fruits and vegetables.

    How do we reconcile that our population centers are built on the culling of predator and prey species?

    How do Humans balance protection and food production with the morality of minimizing animal and plant death?

    What should Humans do with the bodies of culled predators and prey?


  • What is socialist about GPL?

    Being forced to open source seems like a pyramid scheme. Better examples of socialist and libertarian politics are licenses like MIT or BSD. They embody use without damage.

    Stallman seems to have a flawed understanding of hierarchy and power. He exhibits such in the infectious GPL and pedophillic political takes. I purposely avoid GPL or derivatives when considering libraries.

    Voting does not change the whims of the powerful. The powerful continue to push their will. Currently that will is massacres and genocide. Genocide Joe does have a nice ring to it. Vote or don’t. The powerful will get their way.

    Voting is easy in my state, so I will. My current amusement is voting against incumbents. Preference is Third Party > Democrat > Republican.

    Beyond the entertainment of voting: keep building mutual aid networks, be a good neighbor and use a pokeball if 2025 gets ghastly.
