And while you can shape the direction of travel genetically and socially, you can't fully control it as you're only playing as the head of your dynasty (until they die, and then you play as their heir etc. etc.)

So sometimes you die, and then have to play as your own idiot nepo baby son.

A normal person would see a big chunk of money and think about what they could get with it. The goods and services they can exchange.

Perhaps, they'll wonder if there's a way to make that money grow over time at a good rate.

They probably *won't* think to immediately light it on fire.

That works short-term, but as an idealist, I'd like to think a better, more durable structure that works better in the long term for more people is possible!

My dream is a truly democratic social network, one that doesn't just respond to user complaints and backlash after the fact, but that has a built-in mechanism to allow users true input and empowerment in its governance. And also, per Cory Doctorow, true interoperability.

Cool so you want the guy who will finish that genocide off immediately and imprison anyone who disagrees, or you want the woman who you can at least protest and put pressure on to end it? Always a guy like you in every reply section acting like you’re the first person to discover that shit sucks

My house has a switch in the living room that controls the fan in an upstairs bathroom?!!! It's a small fan you would only use when taking a shower/bath so I don't know why you would need to control it from downstairs.
