I mean come on. The only way you will get to that theory is if you have brave people who try (maybe that's self serving), and if you aren't at least questioning the narrative of "the only way forward is through the state", especially when there is (increasingly sporadic, anecdotal) evidence to the contrary, then you are tacitly discouraging people to try.
- Ericson2314 6y agoI am trying? For example I like to work on Nixpkgs because I think it is the Wikipedia of the software commons. I am doing some things with Nix and IPFS at the moment for similar reasons. I share my doubts here because HM tends to overly romanticize small organizations. I don't mean to tell people to give up and work for FAANG.
