News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I discovered the story originally while absentmindedly Googling about Earhart a few months ago (when I can't sleep I read about curious historical mysteries; Black Dahlia, DB Cooper, etc. Then I have a harder time sleeping!).

It could be hogwash, all built around rumors:

US serviceman have claimed finding Earhart's attaché and paperwork at the end of the war, on Saipan.

They claim to have been told to keep it quiet by the US Government

A government with a track record of not caring to care for citizens that get in trouble over seas. Especially back then

They could have wanted it "covered up" just to avoid dealing with it or concerns over international incident.

Anecdotal, but I have friends that live/work in the industry in Hollywood and they claim it is rampant there. It's a husband/wife duo. She's hit on constantly. He's demeaned often with "Yo, your husbands a broke schmuck, I'm rich."

Look up Kesha. Look up Sony emails. Those are just what leaks.

Sure, but that's not a unique byproduct to this system. In fact, I think an argument can be made that it's a designed byproduct. We could uplift many more, but we don't. A little bit of uplift, but not too much, or the wheels come off for the power brokers.

There are a other systems that we have at least some historical evidence to show will produce even better outcomes for the majority.

The problem is those are undermined almost as quickly as they are brought up. See post about brainwashing people to protect the bottom line.

People point to places like Venezuela and USSR as examples of socialism not working, for example. While ignoring that both those states were not managed by the working class (as classical socialism typically calls for), but elite masters, their bank rollers, and external forces pushing them to abandon their ways for western capitalism (economic sanctions, cutting off access to necessary trade).

Because the monopolies have exerted pressure on public education, including universities, to churn out advocates for the corporations bottom line.

With no basis in reality, we've brainwashed people to believe the bottom lines of the elite are to be protected. That's the outcome sought of our educational system.

It fascinates me how, on the one hand, we complain about how lazy people are. How much inducement the proles need. "Oh they're just lazy. Push em harder."

If we need to push people that hard, perhaps "economy of effort" is built into the species. It's a weird cognitive dissonance.

"They want something for nothing! But I want to maintain my elite status built upon your efforts!"

But that challenges the basis of elite power. If we all quit producing for them, they lose. So we're "induced to produce" under the constraints they define: no food, shelter, healthcare.
