The next big problem we need to solve in America is the social problem. It has been a bit easier in Europe because of generational wealth, lower property taxes and social ties.
It has been really distressing for me and frankly find despicable when people post videos of distressed humans on social media and point fingers at them - see what the homeless do, see what the addicts do to our cities.
I find it especially distressing when wealthy people post videos of homeless people in various degrees of distress and undress.
If you have resources you are actually the perfect person to start solving the social problem of America because the people who are currently involved in social services are useless.
If you have resources sit down in front of the big AI you're paying for and start figuring out how to solve this.
I admit first I'm a hypocrite myself in this, I don't house distressed in my home and rarely help materially. What I've done personally materially as an artist is create free art projects to benefit strangers on the street. In New York I would occasionally buy groceries for people when I see them sitting next door to a grocery store. Sometimes I buy coffee and sandwiches. I have volunteered occasionally for soup kitchens. Not much.
I read that Neanderthals cared for the injured and the sick. So we need to start doing this before we solve abundance.
We are handful of atoms or just two handfuls of dust, there is absolutely no reason to grandstand on top of this dusty mote in the middle of a super large universe.
We are apparitions of quantum fields, we don't really know where one person ends and somebody else begins, It's possible we're just one big soup.
I'm just saying it's vile and despicable to post videos of homeless people, addicted people, people with wounds and undressed, and obviously distressed, because you're pointing at yourself.
If you're smart and with resources, if you have access to smart AI start figuring out how to solve this instead of posting videos on social media because it's obvious, as New York City is a prime example, government is absolutely useless. And it's not necessarily their job. As a rule and as the greatest philosopher of our time Douglas Adams has determined any person that wants to be a politician shouldn't be one in the first place.
We can't wait for abundance in order to start behaving decent.
If you feel that you environment is polluted by people in distress do something about it, you know, figure it out in a small way in a bigger way however you can just don't be vile about it.
