It's sort of like the twist at the end of Soylent Green. The real twist isn't that "Soylent Green is people!" the twist is that you can see this with your own eyes, shout it in the street, but ultimately no one really cares.
- JohnFen 3y agoDo people not care, or do people not believe? My take on that movie wasn't that nobody cared, but that nobody believed the crazy-sounding man yelling weird-sounding things in public.
- tsunamifury 3y agoThat can be one the same phenomenon.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoWhy should anyone care? I certainly don't and find it curious that others have an interest at all. I have always viewed people arguing for or against crypto as equivalent to nerds arguing if batman or superman is better. Utterly irrelevant to me.
- tsunamifury 3y agoI think you have tragically and entirely missed the point.
- 15457345234 3y agoI think a lot of people do actually care, but you'll never be able to determine that from the internet because on every social platform the discourse on every controversial issue is 1000 bot comments for every real comment. The vibe on today's internet when it comes to weird tech bros is 'we made this space, applaud us on it or leave it.' Many people have chosen option 2.
- tsunamifury 3y agoThis is a very good observations — and by extension why we aren’t noticing that people are leaving. I was in the room with sergey once 7 years ago and he made a not so unserious joke of “where we’re going we won’t need users.” It stuck with me forever.
