That’s a blatant lie, or more generously, harmfully ignorant perspective. Academics, thinkers, have been warning about private power eroding public for decades. Oh sure SV specific…

Twitter is a private organization that owns the physical infrastructure it’s managing. When did we switch from capitalism to socialism? You own their infra and agency now? The slip…

You’re right I forgot communication didn’t exist before Twitter and iPhones. How silly of me. God said let their be Steve Jobs and suddenly human communication… Privately owned inf…

Human playbook: put social agency into enabling invasive private and public power, complain about lack of free agency, reboot social contract. If you all don’t like it put your age…

Or you’re existing under a chemical delusion that two different things are occurring. It’s humans who don’t want to perpetuate other humans speech. I’m not going to live in your un…

Free speech is not under attack. No one has ever had a “freedom to demand others broadcast my personal speech at great technical and financial cost”. Anyone who thinks “free speech…

Somehow all of what we got just magically creates itself if the government is paying people? Houses will build themselves! Food will magically fill your fridge! Can we get over the…

I think we define success too narrowly for these sprawling organizations with massive social influence. How much political scrip such an organization generates given esoteric econo…

Humans were giving away their service to the church for promises of forever life. Mass delusions are easy to propagate as they require little emotional nuance; a salute, tattoo, in…

I was not speaking to taxation. I’m speaking to private influence on wages, regressive taxation, privilege for the financial elite, the real health issues and costs of extreme ineq…

Millions see sky wizards, should I? I get the difference. It doesn’t absolve our culture of ignoring it’s deficiencies. But look what happens at a university in 2008 when students …

I don’t really see the inequality of representation and taxation in capitalism as any less authoritarian. If everything I do is being validated for value by management and bosses, …

Frankly, the dystopia is an economy that forces me to be friends with randos who also passed through the filter, and not with people I would pick. The dystopia for HR is the burden…

Empirical evidence of his subjective goals going unmet is not empirical evidence of an objective truth we all must follow.

What do you suggest that will make a difference in yet another human era of aristocratic capture of our lives and agency. They do not have an information advantage, just a politica…

They don’t require a biological mutation but they do require a change in agency, social state. Take society as an organism in the abstract and it definitely needs to mutate. Cricht…

No one thought “glass” because the outcome was predetermined. Employees do not care about financial or literal waste. They only meme in mind when they go to their job for “make mon…

If you’re good enough relative to what test? I simply do not believe meritocracy can exist. Our biological sensibilities are too easily confused by concepts we don’t fully grasp, a…

Apple makes the idea of Plan9 viable using wireless technology and smart protocols.

I really don’t see how the nation isn’t a Ponzi scheme. We keep buying in with our time and being told there isn’t enough to go around when it comes to affording a life. I know the…

I get what the author is going for but agile, scrum, process, and such are ephemeral helicoptering. When the outputs are socially restricted, it’s not as if work from home is enabl…

I wasn’t using it as an example of success, but of commitment to collective goals. Here we are discussing the supposed leverage engineers have, but frankly, in 25 years working in …

Other researchers claim autism is an emotional evolution. I’m disinclined to trust our contemporary society with deciding whether autism is good or bad. A difficult scenario for pa…

So we need to disrupt unions unaware of inflation. Engineers also could collectively tank the economy; wfh makes a strike a matter of not opening a laptop. Even just the serious th…

You have done nothing to validate this claim and are simply regurgitating acceptable political speak. Kids can be taught otherwise. And a minority of the rich can be told to stfu b…
