Comment on Silicon Valley’s ultra-individualist philosophy wants to conquer the world
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 week agoThere’s nothing more freeing for an individual than total power and control over others.
No, possessing power doesn’t mean knowledge, understanding or ability to use it to destroy one’s own chains.
No, all kinds of control add to one’s own chains, through the need to maintain them.
These are not freeing at all for an individual. These are “freeing” in a perverted sense for the kind of collectivist that wants to be at the top of the collective.

I don’t agree. I think these people are acting out of what they believe to be self interest, even if it is an unenlightened self interest. Why else would they desire to be at the “top of the collective?” What do they gain if not special, INDIVIDUAL, privileges, opportunities, liberties, etc?
