Should have used text instead of numbers in the demo. Big prob is laying out different sized phrases in the smaller boxes. Would have liked to see how that is handled.

Technical goals and Political goals are always 2 different things. And in this case neither is clearly defined or will be clearly defined, because Social Media was never built with a Goal in mind. There is no Political Goal or Purpose like

The US is a weird ass country cause everything has been privatized. The banks, insurance, energy, water, food, health, telcos, the railways etc etc Very few countries across the world do that. Govts usually own a chunk of the largest firms

Calm down. This is just a single (private - so no public data or real numbers - just what they claim) Indian company (unsupported by the Indian Govt in any way shape or form) doing a decent job. It has nothing to do with political will.

David Brooks is hired by the Elites to make a septic tank filled with sewage feel beautiful. It makes them feel good reading his poetry about the shit mountains they create. Its not hard to find an army of middle managers that are chanting

You think Apple thinks long term? They are run by well programmed ever optimizing robots, who cant see beyond the next earnings call. Just look at the speed at which they are shifting production out of China/Taiwan. They are not tied t

The consumers are tapped out cash wise (you can see it in Netflix, Disney and every other large Studios reporting to Wall St). So consumers are not even paying for the never ending flow of sewage into kids brains. Yet it flows in larger and

Read the UN report on the Attention Economy. It covers the problems in a way social media companies don't even talk about. Cause they don't like telling influencers and content creators whatever influence they think they have is e

Bill Watterson didn't need all these tools and platforms. Just paper and ink. Right now we have content, info and tool overload and Layoffs are a sign of over production. Plus people like Katzenberg love to jump around funding new stuf
