I wish HN would add a new reply button, "It's hopeless and people don't care and its only going to get worse" because it would save a great deal of time for everyone involved.
- creativenolo 4y agoMaybe instead of reply people should just submit and comply?
- moffkalast 4y agoWell the ubiquity of it doesn't make it any less true.
- javajosh 4y agoIt's never been less true. Humans have never been more capable of coherent action, and this fact has not been lost on the sociopathic no-upper-limit-to-greed manipulator types who've done well in this nascient internet with its aging, nostalgic noobs. The modern zeitgeist is dominated by the heat from a thousand battles happening in the info-sphere, fought by PR mercenaries and state-sponsored labs duking it out. They must win their battle because that is what they are paid to do, and saying the word "externality" is a good way to get fired. But. If we can act coherently on one way, we can do so in another, and I take great hope in that fact.

Money is power, at least until people are fairly represented... So I'm not so optimistic. https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/richest-1-bag-nearly-twice-much-wealth-rest-world-put-together-over-past-two-years https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/richest-1-bag-nearly...
