Quercus 🟡⚪🟣⚫<p>'Social Inflation'</p><p>I want to introduce a concept I'll call "social inflation", defined as 'the gradual thinning of the interpersonal resources of a society'. I imagine that the field of sociology has some language for this, but let's pretend I'm coming up with something new.</p><p>Economic inflation is something we are long familiar with, as it is just assumed that everything has to always get more expensive as 'standards of living' (for the wealthy) must perpetually increase (not wages, though). Social inflation, however, is impossible to define quantitatively. Leading up to times of turmoil there is a creeping breakdown of relationships that can snap suddenly, a socio-economic depression, to the point that our civil institutions can no longer function. Globally, we may be entering a socio-economic depression that will drastically reshape our states and institutions.</p><p>I believe that social and economic inflation, essentially the drawdown of resources that support our civic institutions, is driven by technological grifting and worker exploitation. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Luddite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Luddite</span></a> platforms simultaneously address workers rights and techno-scams. The foundation of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Luddism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Luddism</span></a>, to me, is addressing these two intertwining factors, by rejecting the hyper-technological 'growth' used to justify the 'trickle down' approach to economics that exploits workers and destroys the planet. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/usPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>usPol</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SolarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunk</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sociology</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PoliticalScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalScience</span></a></p>
