You’ve boxed this off in some artificial way, IMO. Open source coders provide software development and support services for free. They’re not providing a physical product. I feel like you’re stuck on some ephemeral concept around what a ser

Fair point. Except I don’t post, follow feeds only, put nothing about my personal life in my profile, and they asked for my birthday. So my point was aimed more at advertisers buying on Twitter: they filled in the blanks and got them all wr

Not Google, but Twitter thinks I’m a 45 old married male with 3 kids I’m 39, divorced, and have 2 kids It’s almost as if the big data sales pitch is an epic joke like nuclear powered everything being pitched in the 50s

I was just reading about how McConnell has steered billions to the Paducah, KY region since coming to power. Shockingly, the rest of the state hasn’t seen quite as much. It’s almost as if it’s how the public allows politics to work in gener

This reminds me of the article the other day about the internet being an SEO wasteland Basically our business networks run the same way (not a shock at all): sycophants spam aristocratic investors with half assed bullshit solutions to juice

The obvious is a robust welfare state. I mean it seems pretty clear to now that inequality goes up, social stability decreases, major overhaul, a generation of babysitting it... like just stop pandering to the meme we can’t afford universal

It’s a subjective life goal, is my point. The article says so many people are doing it, the techniques are so well known, there’s little new info to glean in the activity itself, so it’s basically Xbox achievements for people with excess mo

This is more like “rich westerners chasing FOMO feels”. I have a hard time supporting politically that we owe deference to a minority experiencing shallow novelty and calling them life dreams, given the externalized costs foisted on society

Costs. They don’t have the political power to entirely privatize immigration policing. But their platform is “small government”, so the budgets are as tiny as possible, which devolves right into dehumanizing results.

Not to be glib, but going to your job is what is measured, and taken implicitly as approval for it all. In the end it underlies their motives for finding ways to normalize the public to the social march we’ve been tapping our toes to: shuff

You made connections between things and the workplace that the parent did not imply to my eye. It was an array and you started making a dict, assuming whatever connections you wanted. See Americans are trained to not be so gaudy but quietly

Push for universal services. IMO that’s the concrete way to begin to normalize away from the bulk of the things you describe. When we show the aristocracy we can peacefully organize around our own interests, that will have them properly con

I guess I’m assuming “economic apocalypse” means “fall of the nation state concept as we know it.” since that is the lynch pin for economic trade. Business operations as a whole are so reliant on the legal rails, like it or not, they’d have

You’re assuming cash will hold value after a so-called economy apocalypse? If the economic credibility of the nation goes, so too does the value of its cash currency. What’s a “more white collar workers than jobs” economy look like? Persona
