Uhm. I think you misunderstood me. With more vocal i meant their current advertising material. There are people who need prosthetics you can advertise towards. Or Doctors who work with prosthetics. Although i can understand your criticism, I think it is misplaced here.
Fair enough. I guess I mixed you up with whoever was being a defeatist “only the rich will afford it” about something that has not yet become true. Believing something will come true because “that’s how everything works” just hastens that type of world, because if enough people act like that’s how it works then it becomes the norm. I’m only a pessimist because I like to be pleasantly surprised, but that level of cynicism is… grating, to say the least.
If it shouldn’t be true, refuse to support the mindset needed to survive in such a world. Otherwise your mindset is already exactly who wealthy assholes want you to be, a wage slave who sells their morals to whoever scares them more. Better to die believing in not hurting people for personal gain, a hero, than to live believing that someone successfully stabbing you in the back is a fate worse than death.
In short, strength is a weakness if you live only to stay alive, too many people online say they think there is no hope whatsoever, but I confused you with one of them and sorry about that.
