Value is decided arbitrarily in our current economic system - beauty in the eye of the beholder. Ideas, even really basic ones, are worth a lot when pitched to people who have the money and will to implement them - think of shark tank/dragons den.
Last time I went for a blood donation an old nurse there handling recovery was telling everyone that there's millions of pounds to be made in creating packaging for use in hospitals - I think she was saying they need more easy tear stuff? Or maybe resealable, because that would be better for the environment. Already I'm losing my handle on that ticket out of poverty...
Anyway the point of that story is that it sounds like a simple idea, because anyone might realise they need better packaging for stuff; but it's the realisation of those ideas that escapes us.
I'm really fond of the Netherlands because it neatly distributes towns, water and farmland. Admittedly I don't think it has the most effective system of wilderness, but I appreciate it for the many things it achieves.
I'm fond of all the cold places in the world - Alaska, Canada, Finland and Russia, for instance. That said I now love warm weather much more than cold weather, but I like the appearance of snowy places.
In doing so you might also find gem posts that you want to preserve - these could be migrated to a fediverse "museum"/archive instance, to the internet archive, or just saved to your PC. I know there was a whole lot of interesting stories and advice posts on Reddit which should be kept somewhere safer than Reddit. Reddit might not exist in 1-5 years time. Just a hunch.
Or rather, parts of the internet will become wastelands trawled by AI eating it's own tail.
As a kid - 5 years old - i woke up confused because i thought about 2 years had elapsed. I think i experienced something akin to the famous lampshade story where a guy dreams of an entire simulated life. Tbf though that guy's dream sounds like it was induced by a concussion, but I had nothing of the sought.
I remember having many particularly vivid, surreal, dreams around that time. Unfortunately I can't remember for sure if I dreamed an entire 2 years of life, nor do i remember the contents of the dream at the time, but i remember feeling like I'd time travelled and I think i told everyone I'd dreamed i was 7.
Almost more interesting to me is the fact that me and some others in my family all have short, decently detailed, precognitive dreams; we get a 'vision' of events before they happen, in our sleep.
The precognitive dream takes into account a lot of what other people do in the moment, not just what you're doing. For example my latest one was just me sat in my home office feeling a selection of specific emotions and feeling quite mad at someone, and have a complex chain laid out in my head for why i'm feeling them, and, in the dream, i'm confused as to why i feel that way, because the chain of logic isn't based on anything i've experienced yet, and i wasn't annoyed with X person at the time.
Then when the moment occured in real life I did know the full context behind my emotions - and because i was baffled by the 'chain of reasoning' behind my emotions in the precog dream, and i have presently noticed that my premonition dream is playing out in front of me, i take the time to analyse my emotions a bit more in that moment.
It mostly occurs with conversations, just me sitting alone somewhere, or with going to a new place.
Having read about "second sight" in scottish folklore, the way it manifests for me and my relatives is exactly like that. We likely have scottish ancestry as well.
Also, the medium is the message. Mr Beast chooses to do his charity through the medium of sociopathic reality tv games. He could just become a legitimate activist or philantrphropist instead? If thst was what he wanted to do.
I guess there's the argument that his games make back mkney he can spend on charity and giveawaya though. That's the busness model, ultimately.
If you're looking at left wing memes and YT videos by socialists then you're probably a good deal more educated than you realise
Always look for more thinkers, speakers and ideas you haven't encountered yet.
Art and music is also important to propogating socialist ideas, i was surpised when studying art in 6th form just how important socialist principles were to so many artists. Final essay ended up kind of political, lol.
Thank you so much! I was worried this was a laughable idea but your comment shows it's quite a well documnted phenomenon
