I think we’re generally in agreement. Another consideration is that capital creation is controlled by the federal reserve or equivalent so supply is only as scarce as they say it is.

Why does everyone want to have enough capital so they don’t have to work anymore?

What’s disingenuous is mentioning both as if they are somehow equivalents

That's a bit disingenuous considering the scalability and concentration of capital compared to labour. Regardless your point doesn't refute mine. Supplying capital reqires zero personal effort.

Pretty much everything involves technology today. What was that famous quote? "Software will eat the world" or something like this?

People are selling themselves short. Your salary and your cost of living aren’t connected. The value you deliver for the company is all that matters.

The thing is you treat it seriously. We have triple the daily cases here in Berlin and are celebrating like it’s over.

Governments could rezone business districts to residential mixed use too and solve our ridiculous housing shortage issues.

This is a side effect of society overly focusing on money instead of knowledge as the primary success metric.

I wish they allowed more technically proficient users to disable password recovery and manage iCloud backups off cloud.

The better measure is whether it is 0.00001% of trips? This argument is similar to me (a European) deciding not to buy a sedan because I can’t drive it through the Sahara desert. If I want to do that I’ll rent a fit for purpose car because

How do we know they didn't know they would find anything? There is lots of evidence that we have lost perspectives on how to analyse our environment as we have gained new ones through technology.

We also switched and I don’t miss slack anymore. Teams has been getting better by the day. Lots of features are worse than slack but many are also better, especially around video.
