Because love takes time, and money is time in this society. Takes a lot of money to have friends, and most men are actually to poor to afford friends. That's included in the price society pays for loving wealth first. You cannot serve two masters. You can of course fake it, drinking buddies ect... it's like most things in a money first group, the real thing is continually cheapened until everyone looses interest and then we blame them for having too high of standards.

You are the problem, not the solution.

Renting out the market one could say. And therein lies the problem.

Meg Whitman almost bought the Governorship of California because somebody wrote an auction program. First mover.

That's funny, because Canonical's business model is based on anti-social behavior.

The police, and common culture, protect capital above all else. This is a capitalist society first and foremost. The status quo, the police state, and the corporation are all protected before the innocent individual. It's policy.

Culture can be, but should not be thought of as shared values. The more accurate way to think of it is shared delusions. Their is nothing in "values" that is actually truth, just emotional feelings about it. Shared emotions can be replaced arbitrarily and you have a different culture but reality does not change. That's a delusion, and to use culture correctly in an organization you must recognize that what you are trying to manipulate is just a delusion. Deal with it as delusions and then effective techniques can be learned and implemented.

Simply a kinder, gentler power structure. Not anything the US government hasn't pretended to be working toward for years. All it is is treating citizens as "one of your own" instead of as one of the "them". No great mystery, when power doesn't act quite as much as monstrous assholes people have a better time. People need to stop pretending like a little concern for your fellow man is some difficult, complicated, magical system design based on some secret power. When governments let people help those around them they will. Just get out of the way and give up a little control. All its ever taken for people to build a better system here is just for the Government to get out of the way.That's how the west was won, and built.

That's why we're not arguing. Art is like fun, I know it when I see it.

Semantics.

An person who pays others to create their work can be called a lot of things, but artist is not one of them.

Definitely the cutting edge of Government thinking. Seriously. The message is "you can change nothing".

So nothing's changed, the status quo remains the most important thing. Shocking. As to why, politics and the love of power. Nothing new.

You misunderstand the point.

It is if the market wouldn't exist without people being forced to work at night. The difference seems to be very hard to understand.

But to think people decide to work because either they want things or because the mass media convinces them too is really missing the point of the issue. Maybe that's why you or I or many people do things but the vast majority of work being done is by people being forced to work by a ruling class who demands they work when the only real reason is so they don't have time to improve the real problems they have. Because the ruling class is the problem they have.

That's not his point. He's saying people buy pizza at night because they are unnecessarily working at night. Selling pizza at night shouldn't be necessary because its an artificially created market.

You can't make a contract that violates the law. Come on.

People only have trouble finding others to honestly help them when they can't honestly share the rewards of the work. Slaves will always rebel in any way possible.

That's true, but I draw the line at people creating a higher life form, and that's what it would take to replace programmers.
