No bro you don’t get it people are teachers, librarians, homeless shelter volunteers, and artists because of their inner desire to make as much money as possible

There could be no other reason to drive humanity forward other than to make money

artists is kind of an iffy example considering plenty of people, while having a passion to pursue art, generally do so with the intention of making money or becoming famous

obviously there are exceptions to this, but in general, the goal is to make money

plenty of people would still have passion, but if there was nothing to work towards after the fact (advancement, higher pay, a better job elsewhere) then what’s the point?

i’d agree teachers are far too underpaid, but most would stay as a high school teacher for other reasons aside from because they are passionate about it

there needs to be something to work towards to keep interest. if there’s no reason to work harder, why would you?

100%
we all have legs
let’s walk and bike everywhere 🚶🏾‍♂️🚴🏾‍♂️

Love cars but it's time to make public transport/bikes the norm

We def should prioritize walking/biking and public transportation but it's America so it'll never happen

A major highway is being built so close to me that part of my neighborhood had to be uprooted to make room. All for a damn toll expressway

Everyone should be forced to travel by pogo stick one month out of the year.

Innovation exists outside the private sector, a lot of modern innovation came about in public institutions. Incentive to innovate doesn't have to revolve around financial gain, otherwise you'd have h****erectus deciding they don't like fire because it's not getting paid.
Being innovative is in many ways human nature, we are where we are because we innovate.

You’re not wrong but we’re too far gone

When last did the private sector really bring something new in the last decade? All we've gotten is a bunch of tech bros, trying to circumvent regulations through tech with things like uber and Airbnb, or companies finding new ways to spy on you.
How far will profit driven innovation take us is what I'm trying to get at

Would be dope I have like 3 track bikes I never use anymore since high school

The point is most innovation around technology has been very surface level, without really pushing humanity forward

some innovations are in the private sector that benefit it but as a whole? absolutely not

this world is about incentive, just accept it lol

We need to do a study on the people who post gifs that have correlation with the subject at hand but aren’t funny or a little too on the head

Money isn't where incentive begins and ends

it completely depends what specific thing we're talking about

in most cases yes it is

ok but we go back to this

You lot dead ass are as unimaginative as they come 🙄

ground & rock moves are strong against fire my g

stupid ass idea lmao we could solve many more important world issues with the amount of money it would take to do this. yes we should improve our public transit infrastructure but get rid of all roads f*** no

crine op prolly lives in a big ass city and has never driven down some nice mountain roads or the PCH before

You will own nothing n be happy. Last thread you claimed you’re against banning cars, now you’re vouching for it.

As James writes: A double mind is unstable.

Christ told us: U can’t serve 2 masters.

Figure out which side you’re one.

So I gotta sit next to a schizophrenic homeless person or walk as my alternatives?

ok but i get the aux in the public transit
