And politics is the bread and butter of Every.Single.Thing that you do, including your fantasy of a detached parallel-universe "hacker world" that you think you're living in. You're not.

You're either actively doing politics or it is being actively done to you. Nothing that you do makes any sense outside of politics anyway.

I don't just expect them to be on separate networks - I expect them to be fully air-gapped!

No, the rich and powerful pay boatloads of money for privacy, but don't get anything of substance in return.

No, it implies the exact same thing - prices will rise as the market adjusts (and "economies of scale" start to crack).

No, that's not really the future. Here's the future: you don't get any privacy, period. Get over it. Live with it. Doesn't matter who you are - you don't get any.

Oh, and you know what? The future has already arrived.

New comment by jdimov10 in "How privatization increases inequality"

jdimov10 — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 11:48:28 +0000

Inequality is not the source of war, it is the source of everything that you see. It's also known as diversity and is the basis of life. You can't be rooting for diversity and against inequality at the same time - you're contradicting yourself. Unless you're also against diversity, in which case you really don't understand much of anything.

Inequality can only ever increase. The opposite is unnatural (and rather impossible).

Yes, I have passed many more than two days without any money in my pocket. As any human being, I've had my highs and lows. I've decided that I like the highs better and money is quite handy in that regard. What I'm saying is - it tends to come to you easier once you stop freaking out about it. As do all things. Struggle is always counterproductive and it is never worth sacrificing your health for money.

Don't make time to untangle. Stay untangled. Live your life. Enjoy it. Have fun. If you have any time left after that, then may be do some of that inconsequential stuff like earning money or achievements. These are nice, if you enjoy doing them, but are not important. Unlike what you've been brainwashed to believe, your life does not depend on those things. Your well-being does not depend on those things. The well-being of your family and children does not depend on those things. It's the other way around.

This is not a realisation, it's a belief. And it's a very boring one. I quite enjoy my narcissistic views and have absolutely no interest in trading them in for your moralism ("fairness", "equality", "justice" and other socialist bullshit). Live your own hell all you want, just don't inflict it on others. Since you're a believer in "fairness", I'll cut you a fair deal: I'll keep my luxuries to myself and you keep your "responsibilities" to yourself. Deal?

Reading The Little Prince every five years has indeed been my routine (since high school). Glad I'm not the only one :)
