Some goals are personal (probably more accurate than "subjective").
However, there are other necessary goals as well, including civilization.
And of course, accumulating wisdom.
We are mortal. Tribes are not, unless they choose to be.
There should always be Swedish death metal.
The third world sucks ass and I want to avoid it in all forms.
But, I could see being a canal boater in England or the Netherlands...
This is why you have lesser aristocrats.
We are going to have some kind of government... monarchy is the best for long-term returns.
Should we say that corporate jobs are basically a precursor to Communism?
We can already see how unions, insurance, and social benefits are the doorway to Communism!
Corporate jobs reward people who spend lots of time at jobs.
Capitalism rewards those who get the shit done best quickest.

I can make it more clear, and that's a good suggestion. Thank you.
@freepatriot They didn't live there.
Actually, the USSR was a huge success at motivating America and raising American and Western European living standards. The fear of Communism made Western elites treat the masses better. Those gains were all clawed back once Communism fell.
But it sucked to actually live under Communism.
@monarchist @freepatriot Interesting. Intangible commons. First time I heard of this concept. Maybe something for a future blog post for you? Unless you already have it somewhere on your site. =)
@monarchist @freepatriot Hah! You just wait until someone figures out a way to extract value from the moon at a profit. Then the moon will be "owned" as quickly as it takes to write a contract or a "constitution". ;)
Yes, it's a collaboration with longtime homies.
The problem is that the intangible commons will always be there: public behavior, goodwill toward each other, ability to agree on anything.
Without that, everything is a two-hour HOA meeting...
