I was thinking about Adam Smith the other day. He is considered the father of modern economics. Many of his philosophies focus on division of labour and free and open trade. He is also credited with establishing many core ideas included in Capitalism which some view as pure evil and others view as good for everyone.
A few questions:
- Does capitalism tend to gravitate towards fascist ideologies?
- Is a system that generates wealth intrinsically bad?
- Who should oversee the equal distribution of wealth in a society? Who decides what is fair?
- Adam Smith, Economist, Capitalist, or Fascist or all of the above?
Hopefully I have phrased things clearly. I realize I’m covering quite a few different topics. I have been recently studying philosophies of fascism to better understand the main ideas they promote.
I just installed Brave on my Ubuntu OS on my laptop to replace Chrome. It is running better than chrome was so far. Is there a way to setup Brave to safeguard against some of things mentioned or should I go with something like DuckDuckGo instead?
Thanks for this reply, quite a bit of information. I do very much appreciate Tolstoy’s insights into the Christian faith and philosophy. Those with a sincere and humble approach gain great insight into life I find.
That is quite the vault, thanks for sharing. I’m not sure how much time I will have to dig into it all but will try. Who do feel are your most reliable sources of information?
Thank you for sharing this. Tolstoy had a beautiful mind and it’s great to hear him wrestle with these ideas. He is on my list of writers to collect so thank you for sharing this. I thought I read somewhere that he found faith in Jesus Christ but I could be mistaken.
I know this is a children’s book but I bought it for me. It seemed very relevant to our present situation.
I have a couple varieties in this patch, a friend gave me some thornless ones but I like the berries on the thorny canes
I usually wait until all the leaves fall off. Pruning can happen any time between late autumn to late winter. I leave some alone that are newer and chop the older crustier ones
I was using Instagram and threads mostly but was wanting to stop using Meta based apps. Someone posted about the fediverse so I started using mastodon and Pixelfed.
This is supposed to be a Reddit replacement is what some people said but I didn’t really use that before
I downloaded the Lemmy Voyager app for iOS and there is a toggle switch for this item.
The term “not safe for work” reminds me of an episode of “I think you should leave” on Netflix
Jalapeño Kettle Chips, Pringles, La Cocina Tortilla Chips, Covered Bridge Weekender Potato Chips
Are there any preparations for dealing with the bots, ads, trolls, etc. when they eventually migrate over? The word budget comes to mind. Is Lemmy open source and not for profit?
Is subscribing how you “follow” a certain community or person. I’ve been bouncing around to multiple apps so just checking how things work.
Thanks for the warm welcome
