This Holiday Season

'Don't buy car, refrigerator' this holiday season
Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon.com

As an AI enthusiast, I still believe that AI will help us solve the problems of world hunger, misallocation of resources, corruption, and a better health system, as well as improve energy production in terms of sustainable development. Peace in a world without justice is not possible, that goes without saying and should not be emphasized, so for example it is not good that people are hungry, discriminated against, or enslaved. Peace is worth fighting for, but it is good to go through regular channels. China has 4-5 times more inhabitants than the USA, even if the Chinese have a higher GDP they are still very uncompetitive. The world should appreciate high standards such as freedom and democracy, which at least for now China does not intend to fulfill. It is strange that all kinds of industrial tycoons go there to invest, China is like a very big offshore, I suppose. There is too much sports competition, scheme, and subterfuge against fellow citizens. People make up conspiracy theories because they don't trust the elites, those egotistic who are getting richer and richer. The essence of capitalism is the right to property where capital and the free market have the main say. In the USA and other Western countries, the standard is much higher for everyone who wants and can work, and people also feel better (work better) because there is transparency in the democratic procedure. We will have to start saving things, renewing, repairing, and not constantly buying anew - we are too much in a consumerist society, which is very damaging to the environment. A quality car can and should be driven for decades, especially now that there are mass-produced ecological, self-sustaining cars. A lot needs to be changed, not just something, but I think people are not ready because they are (were) too comfortable and not ready for addictive renunciations, they are afraid of revolutionary changes. Concretely, I think that, for example, there is no need to re-concrete in construction.
