I mean, they have as much a right as you do to not care and not do anything, right? Its clearly not just people who use third party apps but also the opinions of people who believe in more than just apathy. "They don't have the ri

I'm having trouble deciding if your post is tongue-in-cheek agreeing with me or not so I'll just add some earnest flavor. I'm going to answer your questions in reverse order. No, I don't think it strange at all that peop

I'm sorry but this really betrays history, even contemporary history. We could point to a number of contemporary artists that are worth millions of dollars for whatever they are known for - you might even consider them 'rockstars&

I donno, this comment feels like saying, "Machines have really destroyed our relative reaction to the Olympics. Who cares how far someone can throw a heavy ball when a cannon can do it much better and more accurately." When the re

Thank you, I was writing out something similar. I find it intentional on the authors part that they didn't include "capital" in any of their observations. All houses in the suburbs look the same because its... cheaper to do i

Adding to the pile - I personally feel its too easy to fall into the comfort of telling ourselves that other people are giving bad advice! Caution: Your Mileage May Vary. Are you Procrastinating on tasks? Mindfulness, full stop. If I'm

I'd like to put forth the idea that taste is cultivated. Might seem like I'm splitting hairs but I don't like the idea that 'taste' is something you're born with - that its innate - you either got it or you don

I disagree with your interpretation of ceronman's experiment and the premise that we're already conducting it. I believe they were making the case that Employees need the company as much as the company needs the employees. The exp

I think people are largely arguing over whether or not the share of economic value is proportional to contributions and when they talk about that share they typically refer to profits. I think redefining/reframing what profit means in

This is a fun semantic game but Profits are not the cost of doing business. When you have an employee sign a contract for $X dollars per year, that's a cost. Conflating Revenue and Profit for the sake of an argument is bad faith. My As

I agree with you on your points but the quote even contradicts itself here. Adding new features is fun and exciting but feature creep is bad? What is feature creep if not new features? (Well new features + the idea that we're adding mo

I think we're still using "Biggest number profit, bigger than last-year number at all cost" thinking here. Because from my understanding and using some of the language you're using - Costs are going up "Due to labor

I'm not sure I understand who the parties are in your example. Who are the buyers? (Employers? People buying your product?) How does any business not get outcompeted by a race to the bottom where people are always willing to perform&#x

The fact that a company has profit at all means there is surplus. They mean the same thing. as a side note; "Innovation" in my view is not a reason in and of itself to do something. Its too nebulous a term to have real meaning. Li

Not saying this is the case but an outlier (exception) to a rule does not disprove the rule. So you're right, Elon came in and is making changes quite rapidly but that doesn't mean this is standard for large businesses.

I think some industries are going to be "better suited" to this than others. But it doesn't have to be that way. If we could shift ever so slightly away from "Biggest Number at end of year - bigger than last years number

I'm glad your experience with your colonoscopy was stellar. I just firmly believe everyone should have that experience. We can compare to the DMV all we'd like but the reality is that there isn't any reason the Single-payer s
