I agree, though I wouldn't call it society. I'd call it "economy and policy". The USA has no safety nets. Getting sick could mean going bankrupt if you don't have a job with healthcare. With rents as high as they ar

I disagree; I do think the "old cowboy" trope is closely related to today's loneliness epidemic and disagree with the notion that modern loneliness is rooted on the "lack of concrete agency on one's life". Sour

That tweet by Lee Robinson isn't really about markup, it's about unbound spending, which seems to be more related to, for example, this recent complaint where a bug led to an accidental $3380 bill in just 6 hours https:/&#x2

Throwback to a past where you cloud remove the audio player and replace it with one you bought, all for not that expensive. Modern cars, like all tech, are losing customizability and repairability in favor of slick designs and vendor contro

Worth noting there's other savings associated with reducing complexity; operational, supply, QA, etc. But yeah a car that's worth that much I think should certainly have them.

We do have an overpopulation problem if we expect to increase the quality of life of everyone on Earth. Wealth-wise, the global bottom 50% emit on average 1.4 tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) per year. The top 10% emits 28.7 tCO

Is this "rapidly shrinking" though, if it's happening at the timescale of human lives? It does seem like something we should be able to plan for, doesn't it?

They did happen though. I don't think the cause of the issue (running out, displacement, war, etc) matters. The point that we sometimes just don't manage to figure things out and keep things from crashing down.

I think this characterization should be accompanied by three thoughts: - In the scale of human history, we haven't used oil at industrial scales that long; roughly 170 years our of, say ~12000 years since the Neolithic Revolution [1].
