- Comment on Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video] 1 week ago:
So your point, if I can describe it, is that the system should be amended. It’s a Ship of Theseus matter. How much can you change capitalism before it’s not capitalism?
We’re basically saying the same thing, minus any bootlicking on my part. I’m saying if you have a constantly evolving system that has different values and a different focus, capitalism should have basically been “bred” out of existence at this point. We’ve reached industrial satiation. Rapid expansion is now a cancer, not a benefit. But, like in the body, growth and change are natural. But when the individual parts start outgrowing the world, you’ve got a cancer. And that’s the stage of capitalism we are at. But, as you and I have both said, if you had amended the system as time went on, we wouldn’t have capitalism today.

Why does it have to be a single economic system? The answer isn’t an existing economic system because economic systems are broken from the jump. The answer is a constantly evolving system, moving toward the betterment of all, not the betterment of the few. Capitalism may have been the economic system for the Industrial Revolution/subsequent time—I think that’s up for debate, but any pro capitalist will tell you it’s great for innovation (which, nah, but sure let them have it). But after the period in which capitalism helped people progress, its time was over. We should have moved past it to keep it from getting corrupted. But we haven’t and look where we are now
- Comment on Evidence That Humans Now Speak in a Chatbot-Influenced Dialect Is Getting Stronger 1 week ago:
What’s more than that, chatbots use those words because writers use those words. That’s journalist vocab. And bots were trained on articles and written speech. I think you’re right, people just weren’t reading anything.

- Comment on Political discourse 2 months ago:
Say what. No one I know has ever gone down that route. Anarchism is the furthest reach from ancap or sovcit.
I guess I and my friends have the antidote: read some actual theory. You couldn’t possibly agree with theory then go ancap. Sounds like you’re describing YouTube anarchists.

Trying anarchism. Goes down smooth
- Comment on Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to Say 2 months ago:

- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 2 months ago:
Mainly my music. I’ve long thought about a dumb phone to avoid gps tracking everywhere as well as the spyware built in and the needless looking at it all the time. But music and podcasts need to come with me wherever I go. So I’d be carrying something akin to a smart phone around anyway. Doesn’t really side step the problem effectively.
