Everything we value as "humane" – trust, empathy, respect, solidarity – is just the set of the optimal conditions for human communication and coordination. CW politics ↓

(Speaking as someone who'd like to stop being abused, yeah, these conditions aren't met because the relationship between the ultra-rich and the 99% is defined by abuse – I call that "class abuse". You aren't a lesser person if it's often difficult for you to meet these conditions. It's just that I believe most people want to "be" that kind of person – at least towards who they consider as part of their social camp, and it may exclude people like me, and this is a problem, but it's also a consequence of the ultra-rich attacking our education, because they never wanted an educated workforce.)
