I repeat my other reply:
The article states it too: There is a resource (for software, id add knowhow) asymmetry and market innertia at play here.
Feudalism is formed by birth right privileges, excluding peasants or merit. With a look to present wealth distribution mechanisms (inheritance), its is no far fetch to apply that polarization effect to software infrastructure too, because software isnt really that immaterial.
- roenxi 1y ago> Feudalism is formed by birth right privileges, excluding peasants or merit Lots of systems have that property, including many democracies (the UK political system, for example, is quite democratic yet embraces birthright privilege excluding peasants). It doesn't characterise or get to the important parts of feudalism.
- throwawayqqq11 1y agounless you make that privilege about a universal resource like money, which can be translated to political power. You are right, many societies have that feudalism-like problem (social mobility), when you look at it that way, even without a royal family. https://www.wired.com/story/yanis-varoufakis-technofeudalism-interview/ https://www.wired.com/story/yanis-varoufakis-technofeudalism...
