Can't help that emotivismo(?/emotinginess?emotionality?) is political capital; his antiTrekkie antiMarxist counterpart Thiel does it in spades too [0] Can't help that the US today has the worst of both worlds: high labor costs AND high rates of absentee ownership (using the less emotional Veblen term)[1] Most of the required things that you mention have, in turn, hard AND conflicting emotional prereqs (from the actual political operators, not HN commenters) I quite like his (maybe unintended) implication that technofeudalism ultimately comes from the capitalists wanting to outflank the pesky Labor hivemind using automation/mindless consumption [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotivism [1] usually diagnosed these days as "shareholder supremacy", but I was thinking that the proclivity towards Abilene paradoxes & their ilk should not be all blamed on actual shareholders, but on the general post-Puritan idea of owning stuff (copyright, etc) without the accompanying emotional burdens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abilene_Paradox#See_also |
