I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that this type of future will lead to literal class warfare. I believe whatever the next punk movement is will be reactionary against this type of lock-in; cultural and economic.
Maybe we should talk about making certain business plans illegal.
- _carbyau_ 5y agoRent seeking basically. By never actually selling something they can demand an ongoing stream of revenue. In a world without the internet, keeping track of the paper was an insurmountable problem. So it only happened with a limited set of things worth doing it for. But with digital storage, up scaling etc getting cheaper by the day we can now track everything anyone owns and rent it to them. So that's what everyone wants to do. Unless your revolution happens or is prevented by making such rent seeking illegal, then in the future the only thing you will own will be what you can make with what little resources you are allowed to get.
