I know you didn’t mean it this way, but that sounds like the economy as a whole

Just replace “investors” with workers, and scammers with “moneyed special interests.” Some go to jail to satisfy the proles, but otherwise nothing really changes to help the workers

And we keep talking about the pattern within itself, at a lower abstraction, ignoring the level where it matters to most

Cherry picking from the “opinion” section is hardly a representation of “Guardian as a whole relative to Murdoch’s 3 mouthpieces as a whole”

I’d rather the business model of the web be “beg boxes” out in the open versus “opt-in to data collection or stay offline”

‘Look at your wrists. There – at any time – lies freedom.’ — Seneca

That is the only freedom in the absolute sense you’re peddling

A bit much maybe, but stoicism has been correlated to happiness.

My point being is you’re tethered to how your culture works.

Is it free to be told work in our factory or go hungry?

Don’t be so full of yourself. You had to wrangle and barter to get the “machine which you own”. You have no ability to materialize it from thin air

Fighting over access by competing for that job. Fighting to keep the power on in competition with other users needs

It was the same as you describe with the bread

Except in a UBI system the assumptions change from “make enough bread for the moneyed” to “make enough for all”

You seem to realize your current reality is the raw fight for life, but are projecting it on things you’ve never experienced
