no trashfood is attractive due to the economics of it.

if really good tasting food was just as easy to come by and cheap, the demand for fastfood would decline massively.

i think it will make things go backwards.

the big leaps in productivity come from really great ideas that are formalised into concepts that then take form.

this comes from being in a meditative state. not blasting output at a higher rate.

this is what happens when you have a spreadsheet fiddler as a CEO and no vision.

By extension this use of tokens + token rationing constraint is another example of that - productivity by plastering shit all over the wall as opposed to taking it slower.

Eventually something will happen and people will realise what a mistake they made.
