It's not melodramatic. I have a Film background and it's the same there - any person who's minimally studied artificial lighting will tell you that artificial lighting is still nothing like natural lighting. This is just cons

Global inequality is clearly not relevant for what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a post-physical society, such as developed countries. And in most developed countries inequality is going up not down. See Thomas Piketty&#x27

As I point out in my text, I think it does fine for physical products. But the digital products we are making now aim for the psychological needs we have and they are having adverse effects. In that sense I think the "engine of innovat

This is an incredibly interesting story. I haven't been through nearly anything as bad as you, but my insight onto the issues of my family were similar - poverty and lack of knowledge and hard psychological issues. Because our society

Of course he would have had trouble, enough that he felt like he had to go. But this was a personal issue between him and his colleagues. Comparing it into company-wide discrimination is not helpful. You're comparing a matter of policy

What I'm trying to say is that I agree with you. Eich didn't, which is why I can't defend him. He agreed with discrimination.

He is not a woman and he is not a part of an historically discriminated against group. You're making a huge false equivalence that ignores one simple thing: he resigned BECAUSE he was found to support discriminatory policies. If the pr

The growth of economic indexes is meaningless. The gains are going massively onto the people who already own capital. That's the engine of inequality. Also... You don't "trust" that chart? You can probably calculate it y
