    Convenience.
    Sadly it is something far fewer people are willing to give up than any of the above.

      It really depends on the kind of convenience.

      Some conveniences are easier to give up, especially if giving them up will benefit others.

        Example: if we are willing to walk around with smartphones that are 5mm thicker and 50g heavier, and a bit less slick in design, we can fix them instead of buying new ones. This kind of things. And we are not even willing to give that up.

        This guy speaks about this (I’m not sure if this is the right video)

    the ability to lie and “falsely claim”.

    imagine everybody is stricken with that boy’s wish from “liar liar”

    sure there would be a bunch of hurt feelings, but maybe the better world can compensate?

    We dont need to give up anything we just need change. Regulations are what keeps capitalism from killing us all and this planet. We have allowed deregulation to put us in this spot and its going to get worst.

    Those are all things that can make a better society. Why do they need to be given up?

    Merge mind. That it.

    I want all people on earth link their mind, to become one.

    Because most of hardship, miserable i had in my life was cause by another.

    If we link our mind, each each of a “body” as our own, they we are much better happy and archived more than what we are now.

      So you’d sacrifice individuality? That’s a good scifi one.

      If The internet gets good enough with chips in our head and everything. I guess that’s what we’d basically have. Access to each other’s memories and senses. Just ghosts and an internet of flesh

        If you play Sellaris, there are hive mind ascension. So a civilization might be once individual like human, but in the end, they become hive mind. By psychic enlightenment, or by machine augmentation, or by genetic manipulation …

    Private property. Remove that and many problems will solve themselves real quick, though that will also cause a large number of human deaths before things stabilize

    Private property isn’t a sacrifice. I don’t own any.

    There’s a difference between personal property and private property. Private property is a mall, is a factory, is machinery at your workplace. Personal property is your toothbrush, your Playstation, your Television, your blender, your set of German knives, your computer, your books, etc.

    Freedom of speech has never existed. The illusion of it has been allowed to be stronger or weaker in various places at various times, if your speech is no threat it’s often allowed, it’s when it’s a threat that suddenly the freedom vanishes and hides behind excuses like national security or illegal ideologies, etc.

    I question how you would get rid of freedom of thought without some sort of hellish brain implants being made mandatory so it’s an odd thing to mention.

    I’d be willing to sacrifice an awful lot of fascists, reactionaries, and an awful lot of enabling liberals. I’d be willing to sacrifice bourgeoisie. The expropriation of their private property is not a sacrifice but a necessity for things being held in common trust for the people.

      A sacrifice is something you like and want to keep, but you’re going to give it up for a higher good.

        Yeah, a lot of these are just things that the commenter obviously wants to get rid of. It would be more of a “2 birds, one stone” than an actual sacrifice.
