Why is the riddler a Tommy gun? Something about Chicago and typewriters?

given the comments, the person underneath is the US vice president

:3c

That all people, including women and people from lower class, should get education if they possess skill in intellectual pursuits. He was more meritocratic in how he envisioned his hierarchical society, which is part of why he had such an impact on liberal philosophy.

they hope to get to the point where people are too scared to protest

multiplying or adding the same numbers together? how gay! 😱

and a cat man by the looks of it :3

Maintaining order is essential to them; building a functioning and stable society is not.

Most economic theorizing is, but the fundamentals are sound. There are simple equations that measure markets accurately, but they can’t tell you a thing about how material reality actually behaves. They cannot tell you which technologies will have which impact. They cannot predict the future any more than gut feelings, but basic principles can explain everything accurately after the fact.

Unfortunately, economics is the most valuable science to those with power, giving ample motivation for bs ideas to flourish and accurate ideas to be misused. All science gets sensationalized, but economics gets absolutely corrupted at all levels more than any other.

projection skill tree maxed out

I would hope, but there might not even be enough resources to go around. We could live in a post scarcity society now, but the only reason we don’t is that capitalists and imperialists abhor the notion. They’re obsessed with having power over others, not security and comfort. They want life to be a treadmill for everyone, so they make sure starvation is a perpetual problem. When there actually isn’t enough for everyone, we will already be deep into mass famine.

mf was cruel to his trans daughter for seeming “gay” before she transitioned

Not for mass adoption by the markets. These companies walled gardening the tech so that all have such variable quality means it won’t be a major thing anytime soon. They’re only really a dangerous autopilot only a handful of companies offer, or a taxi service so bad it has a human remotely take over half the time. The future where it becomes a normal and accepted thing is still a ways off.

Considering the impending global economic instability caused by a slow climate apocalypse, I think our general rate of major technological advancement will be hindered in the long run. Humanity will adjust, but the debts of the industrial revolution will slow things for a time. We cannot forget that our current state is very different from that of a hundred years ago, so things will probably change drastically in our lifetimes. I just don’t think it’ll be a change towards a truly advanced future.

apparently schlatt gets trolled frequently with videos of men kissing

good girl <3

This more reads to me as double trouble dressing her up to troll Hordak, not her choosing to be sexual on her own.
