What is the solution to the current world problems?
What is the solution to the current world problems?
I am asking this question, because there does not seem to be a modern logical solution.
I hear a lot of people say that socialism might solve a lot of problems, but I don't think it has any practicality.
Looking at jobs hiring trends, a lot of businesses are almost stopping their hirings, in favour of investing in automation. Which means 5-10 years down the line, "worker owned" might be closer to fiction.
AI is replacing a lot of jobs now and while the trend that new technologies create jobs, I think that jobs might come after 15-40 years.
Are humanity hopeless?
A large nuclear war would break the systems that cause or suffer from our current problems, and replace them with fewer but much worse ones.
All problems have their root in capitalism. So lets stop treating the symptoms but rip out the roots!
Remove Capitalism, then what?
Wdym then what? socialism. Working towards a united global federal republic. With strong seperation of power and strong defended democracy that never no one could pull a lenin/stalin/mao
There is no one solution that applies to multiple unspecified problems.
Pick a specific one if you want actual discussions and answers.
Overcoming capitalism and creating a socialist federal global republic solves all problems.
Climat change? Due to capitalism. Housing crisis? Due to capitalism. Polution? Due to capitalism. Racism? Today it only exists because people get told to fear for their live and their lively hood being taken away but if that is secured there is nothing that can be manipulated with fear.
Wars? Cant have wars if its all one united federalised republic.
Corruption? Due to capitalism. Uneducated? Due to capitalism. Trump and his friends? Capitalism! Poverty? You guessed it! :D
I mean I think you've already asked a similar questiom before, I'll re-iterate:
Automation is built by working class people, so it's only fair for the results of that automation to also benefit the working class, basically: Universal Basic Income.
Nobody says "end capitalism" ? On Lemmy ? Really ? I'm so disappointed 😠 But yes that's the solution
There. I did it. Its strange no one suggested that.
Fire the firer
You just need to solve greed.
How do you do that?
That is from my opinion, impossible to achieve.
Capitalism encourages it. Socialism discourages it.
It's a start.
A lot of world problems could be solved if humanity as a whole had a bit more compassion and empathy for others
Humanity thrives on revolutionary new ways of social organisation. This is the end stages of the current one that is about to eat itself. Nobody knows what comes next. My personal guess is that humanity will keep doing this cycle of improving itself and letting decadence and greed make revolution inevitable many many many times over. People in every epoch of history so far have proclaimed it to be the last and yet here we are. For the good and the bad, it's all part of the biological programming that makes humanity what it is.
We haven't had a series of assassinations for at least 2 generations. Just pointing it out.
"How do we get out of this well? I don't think ropes have any practicality."
If you want to control the allowed extent of suffering, you need a government that attempts to do so. There is no alternative. Social programs and regulations are what keep us safe from greed, nothing else.
OP asked the question but doesn't want the answer.
Do you want a quick and easy solution that could never work but would fit in a reply on Lemmy?
Death solves all problems. No man, no problem.
I plan on dying before they affect me.
There's probably about 3x as many people as there should be, but there are no good solutions to that. I think a Logans Run style setup might work as long as there's a cool laser show and some cool music to go with it I think it could gain popularity as a spectator event.
One last fuck party before we let the moss take us.
