I see the opposite happening through pushing of human rights agendas worldwide. Also, happiness through dependency (by global banks and corporations). Money is politics and even ethics-neutral, it goes where there is opportunity. In the globalized world, there will be max happiness, but not true freedom because everyone will pay the cost for it. Be careful what you wish for, or you just might get it. **
The way things are going (with advancements in technology, mass media, and medicine), everyone will eventually be cometely enslaved and lobotomized, either genetically, chemically, or ideologically; or a combination of all three. Even concepts like happiness and freedom themselves will change. You may be a slave in reality but youll be free to think within the ideological limits of your genetically pre-designed and chemically controlled and environmentally reinforced mind. A fish is still free to swim from one side of the fish tank to another, and may as well imagine itself freely and happily swimming in an ocean. **
For those whore worried about max world happiness, dont worry, the global pharma/food companies will fix that problem for you. You can be assure youll be happy and till the day you die. **

Show me how can you nail or ground the real reality of an object ...? **
My point is, your »It is an objective fact that there are subjects« (**|**) is based on intersubjectivity. **
I understand your claim of your philosophical perspective re objectivity of object. But your philosophical views are not tenable. **
Note, I have countered there is a more realistic view of what is objectivity, i.e. it is intersubjectivity. Note this is very serious issue within the philosophical community. You need to understand the stance of both sides before you make your own stance. **
I expect ... ad hominem because both of you has run out of credible arguments. .... **

Assuming we don't have an economic collapse or go into a full world war and that I have the ability to keep a job long enough where I don't have to worry about having a roof over my head I did plan eventually trying to go back to school in becoming a plumber. Why a plumber? Many trade unions employ plumbers and residential or commercial plumbing companies make an obscene amount of money just for on site visits. Another reason is that I don't think robotics or automation will replace plumbers in the next fifty years, certainly not master plumbers or engineer plumbing. **

Exactly, the 80% are consumers and they are here to seek out the 20%, the producers.
Production in Nature is rare. Consumption is the norm. It is rare to »move things forward« or to »progress« in life, Evolution. And progress requires conflict, competition, overcoming adversity, etc.. **

And just: 80% of the links on the internet point to 20% of the webpages. So the 80%/20% distribution concerns the world wide web as well. 20% of all internet links attrac 80% of all internet links.
80% of all ILP posts exist because of the fact that 20% of all ILP posts exist. 20% of all ILP posts deliver 80% of all really philosophical (which are few) ILP posts. And if we assume that the number of the ILP main-posters (those ILP members who are mainly posting, regardless in which of the ILP subforums) is about 40, then 32 (80%) out of 40 (100%) main-posters post on ILP because of 8 (20%) out of 40 (100%) main-posters. This also means that this 8 ILP members are the only ones who really deserve to be called philosophers. But perhaps the number of the ILP main-posters is not 40, but 20, so that merely 4 ILP members are the only ones who really deserve to be called philosophers.« ** **
Besides me, I wonder who the other three are? **
