> rather pragmatic decision given corporate capitalism
Supporting a system that centralized designs of critical semiconductors in the hands of few companies and manufacturing in the hands of TSMC is not very pragmatic. If anything it's very ideological.
- cestith 4y agoAcknowledging that's the system under which something has happened does not imply, let alone assure, personal support for that system overall. The real world doesn't bow silently in deference to our hopes and dreams.
- goodpoint 4y ago> The real world doesn't bow silently in deference to our hopes and dreams. You are implying that socioeconomical systems are "the real world" and somehow they just happen to exist independently from our "hopes and dreams". It's the complete opposite. Unlike solar flares and ocean tides, socioeconomical systems are entirely the product of human decisions.
