We at @Mattereum are laying the foundations for slavery-free trade on the @Ethereum blockchain.
For gold bars, we have CO2 offsets baked into our NFTs opensea.io/assets/0xd3fdaeac… The modern slavery proofs will be very similar: bonds guaranteeing that goods were produced slavery-free

I realized today in a new way that most of the shrieking in civilization is done to prevent people following thoughts to their conclusion. i.e. left or right, rich or poor, your lifestyle still depends on the exploitation of Chinese factory workers. We are all complicit in this.

"In some areas of China, you can tell which colors are fashionable in New York and Paris by the color of the rivers" popsci.com/blog-network/tech…
high fashion designers come up with ridiculously overpriced ideas, and the only slightly less ridiculously priced copies get churned out by sweatshops for retail use. the materials and labor are worth literal pennies. it's a morally bankrupt racket.

For most of human history humans were radically egalitarian. Inequality is unnatural to us, and it hurts us.

Happy New Year and thank you to all of those feminists and allies for refusing to be cowed by the bullies, and for sticking to our principles. Capitulation is for those forced into subservience. Women United will never be defeated. Onwards and upwards in 2019 X

97% of the world's climate scientists say Climate Change is real, dangerous and we can do something useful about it.
You have to be incredibly arrogant to say it's OK to ignore it.
Or are you so confident that the science is wrong that you would bet your kids' future on it?
