    That study is reinforcing the greed angle, isn’t it? If those poor and unhappy people wouldn’t all be trying to become rich, but would say “fuck it”, let’s just live and be happy, it would all be fine.

    Nobody could force a few billion people to do slave work for questionable amenities. They just need to stop wanting to be part of the so-called rich and their vision of what progress is. They do it out of greed and wanting to have it all. Technology for everyone. A basic human right, internet and shoes with a name on them.

    Nothing speaks against a collective endeavor for progress and science to better the whole. But making it a competition:

    The OECD is part of the problem.

    Economic Co-operation and Development. Developments for enabling rich people and them competing against each other for resources. Not for creating equal footing. But for creating a controlled slave-market disguised as a developed country.
