Originally posted by lockedin I have said elsewhere that the world, considered as object,—in other words, as it is presented to us objectively,—wears in general a pleasing aspect; but that in the world, considered as subject,—that is, in regard to its inner nature, which is will,—pain and trouble predominate. I may be allowed to express the matter, briefly, thus: the world is glorious to look at, but dreadful in reality.
Accordingly, we find that, in the years of childhood, the world is much better known to us on its outer or objective side, namely, as the presentation of will, than on the side of its inner nature, namely, as the will itself. Since the objective side wears a pleasing aspect, and the inner or subjective side, with its tale of horror, remains as yet unknown, the youth, as his intelligence develops, takes all the forms of beauty that he sees, in nature and in art, for so many objects of blissful existence; they are so beautiful to the outward eye that, on their inner side, they must, he thinks, be much more beautiful still. So the world lies before him like another Eden; and this is the Arcadia in which we are all born.
A little later, this state of mind gives birth to a thirst for real life—the impulse to do and suffer—which drives a man forth into the hurly-burly of the world. There he learns the other side of existence—the inner side, the will, which is thwarted at every step. Then comes the great period of disillusion, a period of very gradual growth; but once it has fairly begun, a man will tell you that he has got over all his false notions—l'age des illusions est passe; and yet the process is only beginning, and it goes on extending its sway and applying more and more to the whole of life.
So it may be said that in childhood, life looks like the scenery in a theatre, as you view it from a distance; and that in old age it is like the same scenery when you come up quite close to it.
And, lastly, there is another circumstance that contributes to the happiness of childhood. As spring commences, the young leaves on the trees are similar in color and much the same in shape; and in the first years of life we all resemble one another and harmonize very well. But with puberty divergence begins; and, like the radii of a circle, we go further and further apart.
The period of youth, which forms the remainder of this earlier half of our existence—and how many advantages it has over the later half!—is troubled and made miserable by the pursuit of happiness, as though there were no doubt that it can be met with somewhere in life,—a hope that always ends in failure and leads to discontent. An illusory image of some vague future bliss–born of a dream and shaped by fancy—floats before our eyes; and we search for the reality in vain. So it is that the young man is generally dissatisfied with the position in which he finds himself, whatever it may be; he ascribes his disappointment solely to the state of things that meets him on his first introduction to life, when he had expected something very different; whereas it is only the vanity and wretchedness of human life everywhere that he is now for the first time experiencing. -

https://earthsharing.ca/news/tax-man-cometh-not-rentDon't you wonder why jobs are taxed, but many people get rich by collecting unearned income, which is taxed little or not at all?
There are two income streams:
“earned income” from jobs, investments, and businesses, and
“unearned income” primarily from monopoly ownership of land or resources.
Economists call unearned income “economic rent”, defined as income not subject to competition, or revenue without a corresponding cost of production.
Unearned income (economic rent) flows — mostly untaxed — to the owners of monopoly held assets like land, resources (oil, coal, copper, trees, water…), emitting CO2, the EM spectrum, agricultural supply quotas, drug patents, taxi licences, etc.
Though this unearned wealth rightfully belongs to the community, it presently flows to private asset owners, forcing governments to finance programs by levying economy-damaging dead-weight taxes on profits, incomes and sales.
Earned income belongs to those who earned it, but unearned income should be collected by governments to finance programs — in lieu of taxes on jobs, business and sales.
Unearned income should be collected to finance government, according to classical economists like Adam Smith, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, and Henry George, prominent people like Winston Churchill, Dr. Sun Yet-Sen, Mark Twain, and George Monbiot, and modern economists Joseph Stieglitz, Milton Friedman, Michael Hudson and Herman Daly,
Additionally:
* economic rent capture is green as it rewards value-added, labour intensive, resource-sparing production.
* rent capture is beneficial to the economy as it removes incentives for speculation, leaving capital no alternative but to invest in the job-rich productive economy rather than the job-poor speculative economy.
* land value taxation cuts mortgages roughly in half, since the purchase price of the land portion of properties is shifted to a monthly land value tax, which does not have to be financed or paid up front.
* land value capture makes new infrastructure free. Warranted infrastructure like transit, parks, libraries, schools, hospitals, rec facilities… make communities more attractive, raising land values. This land value rise is usually more than sufficient to pay for the new infrastructure. -

Originally posted by Ghost Well this isn't a private server, this is the largest MMORPG server on minecraft with around 30,000 active players.
Fonaplats actually used to be in my co-op (cooperative profile where you share an island) but after griefing him in minecraft dozens of times over the years and getting incredible amounts of wealth I decided he was a security risk to the meme profile and kicked him from the coop
it was the official fonaplats army skyblock coop
Now i'm one of the best players in the world on the biggest server and fonaplats is still at the bottom, a nothing
because he is a gay gamer
