(2/6) As Peter Thiel tells us, "competition is for losers." The goal is to capture value (create rents) by becoming too big to ignore and shaping the world around you.
This idea is the new "companies only exist to maximize shareholder value" of our time. It's horrendous and actually ensures companies provide little value to society. More people need to point this out. Silicon Valley has been open about their business model and is celebrated for it.

(1/6) I'm aware this account is just a @npub1fdr…lvhs fan club at this point, but it's okay! This post gets at the heart of why we've stopped building good things. We're rewarding capitalists who cosplay as innovators.
Many of the advancements of yesteryear (TCP/IP, GPS) were the result of public research leading to commoditized developments that anyone could use or build on.
But capitalists don't commoditize or take the long bets needed for such developments to pay off.

@npub1cqh…a0wq I suspect the robots aren’t good enough in important domains to replace workers entirely. The goal is to discipline labor and put downward pressure on average wages.

I think his intention with the tarrifs was always misdirection. He asked for consolations that Mexico and Canada were already doing, all so he can go back to his base and declare victory. They'll probably eat it up, but these are indeed the actions of a small man.

I'm looking for an #editor for my political philosophy blog. I mostly want line editing but could probably benefit from some developmental editing.
I'm not an academic, though, I'm not exactly sure of where to look for this.
