They do not have a aristocratic caste holding back- lots of innovation in ancient greek for example happened, because entrapeneurs escaped with boats to different shores and founded colonys.
Look at the valley today, its a Hacker culture gone sour.
Hacking today means, ripping a preexisting value cycle from the old elite, and with the lowest possible effort turn it into - the same cycle with you in control. Those "Making the world a better place" (for themselves) laugh about those actually contributing by obsessing over tech (the usefool toolfools).
The true motto of this party is "noblesse oblige" and you can hear it in every subtle comment on how the commoners chose your app, your system and would have opted out if it was that horrible. Those people of different neuronal colour - they need our help and guidance.
Its stagnation at the worst possible moment, and the best you can do against that is disrupt the taking over of old value cycles with laws.
Which is again problematic, because another, older Tinkerculture gone sour (called lawyers) hijacked the legislative process. The extrem inequality of aristocratic societys usually comes down when natures limits are reached- and cant be breached due to a lack of innovative tools and methods.
If you do not invest in chemistry - the castle will burn- if you do the castle will be blown to smitherens with fertilizer- so you dont until the hunger games start.
- pedro_hab 9y agoI found myself lacking to fully understand this. I sort of got the idea that you are fond with freedom with the greek story. But then I sense a little disregard for the free market with the > "commoners chose your app", and how there is a circle trying to be privileged at expense of others. Do you mean the state (with laws) should fix this circle?
