“Since we can’t rely on regulation to protect us, we need to learn how to take responsibility ourselves.” What the fuck, bro. What the fuck?

16 pages in and my eyebrows are already raised. I’m pretty sure Edmans is from an older generation that’s benefited from capitalism hence his line — “allows ... the businesses we work for and invest in to solve the world’s biggest problems”

uhhh sorry when did *businesses* solve “big problems” instead of constantly creating them & leaving society to pick up their trash????

this book’s gonna have me rolling my eyes

He Is Father

depressing af

not a book i would like to read as a depressive pessimist (who used trying to be an optimist)

the subject this book is discussing is troubling and concerning and fearsome, but damn, bates is such a debbie downer. if her goal is to make people feel helpless and hopeless, she’s succeeding.

When we build bonds and societies that are less isolated, capital is undermined; a communal home is more self-sustaining. Where several people are caregivers for a child, less money is spent towards childcare companies.

another only, i see. man i’m already to’ed ahahaha

first chapter down and it is pretty interesting. but I have seen 2~3 misspellings/typos in just the first chapter, and considering this is a short book, it is kinda disheartening

To reject these claims is easy; what’s more interesting is to look at what the existence of this obsession says about our society today. If we look at sex robots from non-capitalist or non-heteronormative lenses … we can begin to see how they attempt to entrench dying systems, prompt political regression, and stop us from considering what else we might be working towards.
