Why make the award reasonable when it can be a feel-good self-congratulatory propaganda fest?

He doesn't have to fake it. Dude probably believes that there's no connection between right to repair, unsustainable consumption, and planetary destruction. That might be worse than faking it.

Napster was people sharing files. That's a crime! But now it's corporations so it should be legal.

Cars are far deadlier for both individuals and the planet. That's why everybody travels on the sidewalk. If instead of subsidizing cars they built infrastructure for pedestrians, bikes, and light EVs, then there wouldn't be a problem.

Censorship is a crucial foundation of capitalism.
Not just controlling the hegemonic narrative through media, etc.
But also the founder of SciHub is stalked by the fedz for liberating science, etc.
IP is censorship.

>Not counting the octave, there are seven fairly nice fractions here. Hmm. Seven. What a conspicuous number.
There's seven nice fraction because of how they were rounded.
But there's no explanation of why he rounds 1.682 to 5/3 but doesn't round 1.587 to the even closer 8/5.
It's because scales are a social construction, not a result of vague math.
