It's probably not Spotify's fault though, but it's actually on account of being able to finely control legal ownership of licensed songs. This is all insane imo, but legally sound. Welcome to the future.

This is actually a lovely story. And not surprising. People are naturally cooperative. Yes there are crap people in the world, but mostly not. Left to their own devices, people are kind. Sadly, institutions such as government, religion,

I think the difference is between cheering on the loss of privacy and recognising the loss. The loss of privacy was something that was totally foreseeable (by me, at least) but embraced by the general population. The general embrace has me

Does this go back to when the Royal Society redefined the word 'fact' to be a thing proven by experts (ie expert consensus) as opposed personal testimony (empiricism)? https://www.etymonline.com/word/fact

As you immerse yourself in technology, you hand over privacy, signals to act, and the framing of reality to an adversarial third party. It is an adversarial relationship as corporations and governments are not interested in your well being

Yes, people can care, like software developers can care, in my example. But the thing that is created (government, software) does not.

'Government' can't care. It's just an agreed upon idea, not a thing with feelings. It is a form of anthropomorphising to say it cares. 'Government' is the idea of a structure that many people believe and act

Every time I see these underwater history sites (Italy, Greece, Japan, North Africa), it gets me wondering about sea water levels rising on account of global warming.

Goldman Sachs analysts agree with me! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2m-u4cr3fJ0 Most people act against their conscience pretty much every day for money, more so in senior positions. That money is a great motivator is not

Yes. Beliefs/stories are real, in so far as individuals do have them, and will act on them. But characterising a 'fact' as 'true', believing it, saying it is so, does not make it actually true. It is in this sens

This all makes sense once you consider health as a business. There is no great interest by business in a cure to this or that. However, an expensive perpetual treatment (lifetime service contract) is far more appealing - the revenue strea
