do-gooder explains how to make a Kaag
D66 is the right place for science lovers. Technocratic innovation can also simply mean hacking people to create a better world. If you wonder how on earth the VVD can remain the largest party through all the destruction it has caused, here is the answer: not only has the great leader been hacked, so have the voting public.
Europe more united than ever? How can that be? How can a continent that has been bickering through life historically suddenly produce such a beautiful Jehovah’s picture?
In a real democracy/rule of law, the above would result in a very thorough police investigation, because what this man is proposing is a genocide of people. Because ‘hacked’ actually means that you are killing people, and consider that Bill Gates’ patents are just publicly available and he has even indicated that Microsoft wants to use people’s unused brains for cryptomining:

Then you think, what a wonderful world it will be if this kind of do-gooder is given criminal space.
And they already do, in abundance.
Yesterday I wrote about the Maitake mushroom. Mushrooms often have many chemical substances in common with seaweeds and marine plants, in this case the Pyrrole alkaloid that is also frequently found in sea sponges. It suddenly occurred to me that in a real scientific world, things would have looked very different:
In a scientific world, you would have a place somewhere where they would have a huge building entirely dedicated to the sea sponge. Numerous scientists study the medicinal properties there, they are bred and studied in enormous aquariums, there is a whole library of knowledge about sea sponges and their applications since the beginning of time. There is a culinary division, there is an architectural division, applied arts and artists, and all of this is financed by the amazing results and products and medicines that this all produces.
Reality: eh, sea sponge? I think there are a handful of research papers. What are you saying, 9000 species? Yes, but there is no money for that.
You call that a realistic approach. Before people started hacking people to make the ‘better world’ happen, science itself had already been hacked a long time ago: it has to walk on the leash of big money, with all the consequences that entails.
I don’t think I have much need for this ‘better world’; I didn’t used to when the Jehovahs were at the door. But that was a different time, the Jehovas did not yet have a remote control with which they could control your brain. Well, there should have been an ethics committee 30 years ago to keep a close eye on big money-driven science, but our leaders had better things to do, cut back on brainpower, strip education, diminish literature and sell off children to big pharma drugs, for example. They were beautiful years in expensive hotel rooms, so you have something to tell to the hacked grandchildren: what adventures grandpa had!
