All societies have an attention economy and spam is a "great" way of getting it. It's incorrect to assume other economic systems would not have this problem.

- asddubs 3y agoIt's easy to say that, but it makes me wonder to what extent that's just projecting our culture onto all other possible realities due to a failure of imagination/taking aspects of our culture as immutable laws of nature.
- latency-guy2 3y agoI think it's way too easy to allude to 'other economic systems' without at all describing how your fiction would be reality. > but it makes me wonder to what extent that's just projecting our culture onto all other possible realities due to a failure of imagination/taking aspects of our culture as immutable laws of nature. Right, so lets see, you're hiding something that only you know, for God knows what reason. Then pretending that its other people failing to reach your level of knowledge in the world. You're the all seeing, who knows better than the rest of humanity. We might as well anoint you. Go on, prove it. I'll ask every single time, and I bet all I will get is cryptic and imprecise responses.
- asddubs 3y agoI'm not trying to advocate for communism, if that's what you mean. But yes, in a planned economy, there is no incentive for companies to try to spam you. It doesn't mean that it's a better system or that there aren't other problems with it. I meant what I said. I think we do have a tendency to project our norms onto other cultures and systems.
