Langiage matters and why I think I hate AI is a valid generalized rsponse:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEsPFitSfaA&lc=UgybQMI1XXL_MXT1M7x4AaABAg#AI as a catch all phrase for fast but still extremely stupid software (slop in slop out) and as a tool/valid synonym to completely obliterate the public conversation where you need tools and a social contract (both absent so far) to have an honest conversation and preserve comprehension and the recognition of facts ... I hate AI is fitting!

I find it very two-faced, that our societies are all about "incentives" when poor people have to be coarsed off public support, but nothing is said about them when it's the rich people who should behave civil and contribute.
It's all mandatory to the poor and all voluntary to the rich.

Well this is sobering:
“The Kill Line ...a sharp, unsettling, and revealing metaphor used by ordinary Chinese commentators to describe how American society appears from the outside. The Kill Line names an invisible threshold in the United States: a point at which a single shock, medical, financial, or legal, can push an otherwise productive middle-class citizen into irreversible collapse."

Paul Frazee dives deep into the labyrinthine "politics" of client-side apps, as if the average developer has time to ponder the socioeconomic implications of where their data gets crunched. 🤔 Just pick an option and move on, Paul, nobody's pondering democracy while posting on Bluesky. 🐦✨

It is often the lower income and developing economies that get bamboozled by corporate monopolies.
And it is the victims themselves who promote and defend the 'superiority' of their corporate overlords.

🎩 Ah, the riveting thesis that poverty is a magnet for perverts! 🤦♂️ Who knew a plank with nails was the real hero of the story? 🙄 In a twist of “socio-economic insight,” we discover that the wealthy only have champagne problems while the rest fend off creeps with medieval weaponry. 🍾🔨

AdamSomething has taken a break from #civilengineering and decided to *checks notes* talk about #statecraft and #socioeconomics in the #US? Ah ghee whiz.
That a #European shows his autistic super power by just lining up one #political problem after another and mowing them down in the same breath gives me hope for the future.
But is #Europe really the #economic centre of the world in the future? I'm a bit more uncertain of that.

Max Read with a very thought-provoking hypothesis on #Tiktok as an ideological apparatus (my words) for creating and stabilising petit-bourgeois personalities & consciousness mainly THROUGH ITS FORM: "But social media overall tends to encourage users to understand themselves as small-business owners, where the business is “you,” or your brand, navigating the “market” of a platform. (...) "

#Inequality in Science: Who Becomes a Star?
"... children from low-SES [socioeconomic status] homes were already severely underrepresented in the early 1900s."
"Scientists from high-SES families have 38% higher odds of becoming stars, controlling for age, publications, and disciplines."
Paper 10.2024 by Prof. Petra Moser, NYU and Dr. Anna Airoldi, NYU

Early Sunday morning, July 23 1967, the #Detroit #ACAB raided a 'blind pig' (a modern day speakeasy) on the city's 'notorious' 12th Street and triggered the biggest riot in American history! 🏴☠️🏴🚩☠💣💥

Mondragon - proof of concept - not because they did it perfectly or bc they're flawless - they made it work - they're competitive and most of all: it scales beautifully.

They're still flawed humans, like the rest of us.
... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯But there is a huge potential, esp. for change in the right direction and a peaceful transition into a different socio-economic society.

I’m sure I’ve seen others here post this article The Pudding about why (absent taxation etc.) the super-rich are inevitable:
https://pudding.cool/2022/12/yard-sale
I’d also like to throw in the observation that poorer people may end up paying more over time for inferior products — The Vimes’ “Boots” Theory of Socio-Economic Unfairness:
-
Some of you may remember how I was contacting a magazine to see if they would allow our preservation copy of an old article on our community which is still under #Copyright, to be put in the public archive and astonishingly they agreed, so here it is (the indexing alone took me nearly a whole day!)

CW: Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness
I came across this rather accurate #quote from Terry Pratchett's "Men at Arms" #Discworld novel again:
«The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness.»"
