"If a man is not a Socialist at 20 be has no heart, but if he remains one at 30 he has no head." I don't know who said this, but this is a great example of how our minds mature.
The probably unintentional ageism in tech has a major, quite literally civilization changing consequence.
We are creating power centers which have too many young people who haven't really thought a lot of things through, certainly not the unintended economic consequences, and who glibly dismiss people who disagree with their premises as some kind of "ism".
- orhmeh09 6y agoThat’s a crass dismissal of the people involved here and socialism. You think that the problem really is that everyone at Facebook is too young and is thus more inclined toward recklessness (somehow involving socialism)? PS: Would you be shocked to learn that some become socialists after age 30?
- RussianBot34 6y agoLOL the past 100 years of human history is an epic dismissal of Socialism. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro/Guevara, Hitler, Mussolini, Maduro. Socialism is pure evil insanity, the worst sickness of mankind.
