“The ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.” ― David Graeber

Time to make a different world, that doesn't just suit the 1%. And I say that as someone who is probably in that 1% globally ( https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/how-rich-am-i ).

Yes I'm also in the 1% and I wrote the article... I guess there is the 0.001% that need's addressing first. I don't know if that makes me an entitled narc for writing the article. Genuinely if Wanted attention I could do it in a million other different ways and I just want humanity to evolve.

To be fair, there was only one fly-by with this accusation. Perhaps you retracted the post too soon..?

The "1%" yardstick is what it is, some 80 million of the wealthiest people are part of it. I think talking about the 0.001% is more interesting, representing the bulk of the wealth of the 1%...

The only solution is better community building.

I wish there was more thought with regard to building better geographically colocated communities and not just “digital communities”.
