We Didn’t Ask for This Internet | The Ezra Klein Show
https://youtu.be/Yepnhe1T-9U?si=jjPhwVwN4coI38_lI read the transcript of this discussion yesterday and found it informative and thought provoking. The points raised about the inadequacies of the neoclassical conceptual toolbox and liberal political thought in general when faced with the corporate power of the internet giants are especially noteworthy.
Unfortunately, my institutional subscription to the NYT limits article sharing, so I hope this YouTube of the discussion is an acceptable alternative.

#TimWu: "Tuesday’s ruling is clearly wrong on the merits. The government charged that #Meta, then called Facebook, broke the law when it bought up its competitors Instagram and WhatsApp in 2012 and 2014. Judge #Boasberg threw out the case by concluding that Meta lacks #monopolypower now, when the relevant question should have been whether it had monopoly power at the time."

#TimWu (2018) – La commodité [de confort] est la force la plus sous-estimée et la moins comprise dans le monde d’aujourd’hui. En tant que moteur des décisions humaines, elle n’offre pas le frisson coupable des désirs sexuels inconscients, ni l’élégance mathématique des incitations de l’économiste. La commodité est ennuyeuse. [Pourtant], dans les pays développés du XXIe siècle, la commodité semble être la force la plus puissante qui façonne nos vies et nos économies.

#TimWu: "…more important than #thedeal itself is the approach. It hints at a new era in economic policy for the United States that is centered on a paramount leader (Mr. #Trump) actively picking winners and losers. To be sure, the federal government, usually by way of Congress, has previously practiced #industrialpolicy. But the #centralization of policy in the president would be something different: more like a command economy, which in the United States might be called #commandcapitalism."

Plz @superwuster, write an essay about how centralized technology in fiefdoms is dumbing down the population of convenience zombies. Make it an extension of your #TyrannyOfConvenience essay. Knowledge empowers. When people flock to a flagship (#FB, #LinkedIn, #Signal, #LemmyWorld, mastodon.social, etc) they choose the disempowerment that results from avoiding knowledge.
People /should/ grapple with things like #PGP key exchanges.
People who know enough to avoid the major tech giants still fuck this up by choosing the easy path (Signal, Lemmy.world, etc). Then they hypocritically tout the importance of #decentralization from their centralised Cloudflare platforms, effectively setting a poor example for the basic ideas ppl should hold in high esteem.
Even *in universities* students are clinging on to /easy/ tech. Google docs, facebook, MS Word (not LaTeX). The new culture of knowledge avoidance is a big component of the Tyranny of Convenience. We need a #TimWu essay to cover this -- to reach your massive influence of 28 followers (wtf?).
Should such an essay be written?
