Notice something curious. The correlation with discussions around regulating businesses, freedom, and social media attention.

There is a strong correlation between someone making money and someone arguing that people being able to make money is about freedom.

And here we are a few centuries into capitalism and people say that they are conflicted because personal freedom = making money off people. Effectively.

Yet there are many freedoms that are not profitable. We just have to sit down in a chair and think it through for ten minutes. Preferably without the corrupting influence of a scren.
