Do I need to collate the data for you, or have you seen the venomous rhetoric for yourself? I'm almost positive you have. And the ferocity and self-righteousness that pervades nearly all of (especially OT-heavy) Christian America is downright terrifying. I'm not certain I understand how to respond.
What is a reasonable retort to being called one (or more) of so many nasty slurs? What is the correct response to the rise of armed and dangerous Christian Militias?
I'm stumped!
I tried leaving the country, but I have too many medical needs to support myself outside of the USA, so here I am, back home. And I'm not certain if I shouldn't have stayed out of the country?!
Atheists are a funny lot; we aim for the stars, but keep getting pulled back into the hazy situation wherein we're demonized and slandered and plotted against. What can we really, truly do to make a positive lasting difference?
I guess this is all to say that I feel extremely helpless. How do you cope?
In North America 1920, Columbia University tasked a man known as Howard Scott with about 200, scientist, economist, and engineers. His job was to create a project for them to do. He formed the Technical Alliance and they did an survey coined "the energy survey of North America". This project was researching the wastefulness of the capitalist society. Later on Howard Scott founded Technocracy Incorporated.
Technocracy's research found that the current price system is unstable and bound to fail. Technocracy proposed a new system, one where we use the scientific method to solve social problems, replacing politicians with people of STEM fields. They proposed an economic system based on energy production. I am not the best at explaining things, I am not an engineer or scientist.
So I ask? could we engineer a better system to create an egalitarian society? Can we solve social problems with the scientific and engineering method?
And please keep in mind that Technocracy Inc is not a political organization its a scientific one.

Right now the population is 4k/14k. We need more Alliance.
I was playing on Benediction, but the complete lack of pvp is so disappointing. I'm going to start playing on Whitemane again.

" The Council for Inclusive Capitalism With The Vatican, a New Alliance of Global Business Leaders, Launches
The Council Answers the Challenge by Pope Francis to Apply Principles of Morality to Business and Investment Practices
Organizations Commit to Concrete Action to Create a More Equitable, Sustainable and Trusted Economic System

The Council for Inclusive Capitalism with The Vatican (“the council”), a historic new partnership between some of the world’s largest investment and business leaders and the Vatican, launched today. It signifies the urgency of joining moral and market imperatives to reform capitalism into a powerful force for the good of humanity. Under the moral guidance of His Holiness Pope Francis and His Eminence Cardinal Peter Turkson, who leads the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development at the Vatican, and inspired by the moral imperative of all faiths, the council invites companies of all sizes to harness the potential of the private sector to build a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable economic foundation for the world.
The council is led by a core group of global leaders, known as “Guardians for Inclusive Capitalism,” who meet annually with Pope Francis and Cardinal Turkson. These leaders represent more than $10.5 trillion in assets under management, companies with over $2.1 trillion of market capitalization, and 200 million workers in over 163 countries. The organization challenges business and investment leaders of all sizes to embrace the council’s guiding principles and make public commitments to act on them. These collective actions are intended to lead to systemic change by making capitalism a greater force for inclusivity and sustainability. Watch a video of the guardians discussing the council’s mission.
Speaking to the guardians, Pope Francis said, “*An economic system that is fair, trustworthy, and capable of addressing the most profound challenges facing humanity and our planet is urgently needed. You have taken up
