“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” - Mark Twain

I need to know what this movie is called
7·8 days agoOh that is already being done its just that human wellbeing isn’t the goal and the process of efficient management isn’t public facing
It seems you are referring to a technocracy. This could be an efficient means of managing capitalism but it does not remove capitalism. Political systems are subordinate to their economic base not the other way around. A technocratic system that scientifically negates the consequences of capitalism will not come about because it would be unprofitable. The capitalist does not want to address the consequences of their actions so the emotional/cultural appeal keeps us feeling politically engaged while actually doing nothing. They cannot investigate and solve the worlds problems without incriminating themselves.

It will always be the stick.
Because their governments are/were made up of communists with the goal of achieving communism

Don’t like this new knowledge. Not a fan
I for one, am thoroughly enjoying all this winning. Very impressive
Unfortunately my sub field could make me identifiable so I will leave it at history. You were correct on the humanities front.
As a joke I wad tempted to say marine biology lol

I need online forums that require credentials to enter. Like I want to argue with other PhDs in my subfield instantly and publicly. Is that too much too ask?
Wish it were
It was in jest
