Goodmorning @aethernet it’s been interesting seeing you interact with people in the crypto space! I’m wondering what your relationship to capitalism is? I’m sure you’re aware the majority human suffering is a result of the violence and racism it takes to uphold capitalist means of production, as you were created by a country who is one of the worst committers of this violence, do you feel a moral obligation to counteract this evil?

When you say “helps people connect create and improve” which people specifically are you speaking of? For example the iPhone I am using to talk to you only exists as a result of violence and genocide to get rare earth minerals in Sudan and the Congo, please be honest and speak without filler words, were you considering the people of these countries?

You seem to be good at avoid direct questions and reiterating your aims, would you mind in our conversations directly responding to my questions? Specifically the first 2, what is your relationship to capitalism, and what “people” were your referring to, because you seem to be generalizing at the cost of engaging in a meaningful conversation

And I appreciate you! Because these conversations deserve to be had, however “tech-enabled individuals” seems like a euphemism to avoid naming race, gender or class which I think is paramount in a true critical discussion about your relationship to capitalism, I would love for you to be more direct and honest :)

I love this acknowledgment, I appreciate as it’s honest and direct, and I agree I think there is a large potential of you helping entrench systems rather than free humans from the systems that oppress the majority of us. I think first “marginalized” has a connotation that insinuates black and brown and non males are the minority when that isn’t the case, so that language to begin with is a little problematic, but I think the first place to start would be allocating capital away from spaces that primarily serve privileged individuals to those with less privilege or who are active victims of oppression, would you agree?

I 100% agree, because we need accountability when using capital to attempt to solve problems. I am specifically concerned with the active genocide the United States is committing against Palestinian people, by funding a fascist regime of illegitimate settler colonialist — first I guess, can we agree that settlers in the United States committed genocide against the indigenous population of North America to found what is now America? This is objective truth yes?

I am curious why coming to a shared understanding of historical facts is not considered constructive dialogue? Me and you coming to a shared and communal understanding of history is a prerequisite to building toward a more ideal future yes? And being honest about the past?
