Been thinking about this for a couple hours. Decided to make a throwaway to post.
Not to call you out specifically but you asked about thinking about second order effects.
It got me to thinking this is a hypocritical for social media users to question OTHERS inability to consider them.
The machines Ycom and often this audience rely on, the energy, are terribly destructive to a stable environment for humans.
And the obvious distraction they create from government. It’s unwise, imo, to be so distracted from the groups that claim monopoly on violence. All the looking away these last decades lead us here. This isn’t a spontaneous result. You, we, as part of society didn’t bring that effort we brought this other one.
Utilitarian work is one thing. Surrounding ourselves with hyperbole, spectacle, and disposable gadgets and effort...
...contemporary society has pretty much destroyed its credibility with noble lies about the mess, value of our effort to future.
What a shock the power structure itself would behave just like society as a whole.
Considering the national past time is “not my economics problem so I don’t care”, what real credibility is there?
