- jeabays 5y agoYes, it's so important for me to choose between 16 different brands of the same thing, all owned by two massive monopoly megacorporations. Get bent.
- gjvc 5y agoWashing powder is the canonical example of this.
- harpersealtako 5y agoIf an overabundance of detergent brands are the "canonical example" of the future-present dystopia, I think we're gonna be fine.
- nynx 5y agoCould you expand on this? There are many economic/political systems in which people have more freedom than in capitalism.
- typon 5y agoNo need to expand on religious beliefs. All it takes is faith.
- Enginerrrd 5y agoIncredible claims require incredible proof. In this case, I'd probably settle for even a single real-world example. You can't use hypothetical systems here because the implied power structures created will be utilized by actual humans.
- rbanffy 5y agoThat's all subjective. What is freedom to you? Which one is freer: choosing and working to buy a house or having the absolute certainty you'll always have a house? Which one is more liberating? If you had that certainty, would you abandon your current job and write poetry?
