I could be a celebrity influencer by creating UnBagging Videos about food from the grocery store.  Unbagging Video #1 Bugles...Why isn't the bag material recyclable, talk about the crinkly bag chip issue, who is General Mills a guy or a place or an Idea? What is a bioengineered product, is it inherently bad for you or evil, what's it got to do with Monsanto? The actual product sucks and has no QC - what is the factory like, who works there, how much money do they make, what are the benefits like, do they get free Bugles?

I think given enough time science will show and is showing already that there really are no individual organisms - that everything is some symbiosis in one way or another or some lichenization of multiple independent aspects. just like mycelium and trees and algae and bacteria formulate lichens. If we can accept that about ourselves, then it's not ever a discussion of I, rather a discussion of WE and that makes me think that when we die components just leave and there really isn't a lot left after, taking away at least 50%. That means I think our consciousness as beings is somehow tied up in our capacity to build these relationships with entities even when we don't know we're doing it...like in current humanity.

Some folks are opposed to charity in general because they believe that humanity in general if given the opportunity not to work or contribute will not work or contribute.  I suppose we just grow lazy and fat and do nothing in this theory.  I am also opposed to charity in many cases, but not for the same reason. Instead, because I think it hides the real injustices in the world and makes people feel like they are helping when really they're just helping to cover up the problem.
