    I hate that any new tech nowadays is caveated by this perversion of right to ownership.

    It’s gotten to the point that I either actively seek older tech, or just go for even more expensive niche tech by small private tech players like Framework. But then my worry becomes, are these small private tech companies actually principled or are they just waiting on their exit strategy to be bought out?

    Won’t work if they have a serialization scheme, which all these manufacturers are doing these days, uniquely mapping the person to their fridge (its 2050 remember, everyone is neuro-chipped uniquely identified when interfacing with everything).

    Additional members who can use the fridge $20/month, but you can map 3 members for $50/month (WOW best value!), and if multiple people watch the ad simultaneously, they can pool their ad time towards the countdown!

    It’s locust mentality, same thing happens in India or any country with high density + a culture of low trust.

    If the CCP wasn’t headed by morons like Mao (and Xi by extension, who for some unfathomable reason wants to emulate him) who brought the destruction of Confucius teachings and heritage through the cultural revolution and terrible economic policies, they had a baseline culture to foster a more cohesive and trusting society.








  • The rich are also really stupid and shortsighted. The consolidation of wealth leads to populism, which leads to authoritarianism.

    Have they not seen what happens when they clash with authoritarianism? They should look at Jack Ma and realize that, from a game theory perspective, if they just stand against tyrants and ease up on tax reform, they stand to preserve their power and wealth better…
