You’ve generalized to a point of nonsense, I’m afraid

Amazon and Pets.com didn’t possess truly novel tech, to a trained eye

I don’t think truly novel tech matters much to most people.

I think ease of utilitarian life is good enough

We don’t need the energy sucking monstrosity that are the data centers we have if we looked at different models of commerce

This is just getting people to be tribal over something that appears magical but will fade out

Goodhart’s Law, Buffets Institutional imperative, and similar ideas, will win out. Human quest for novelty will end bitcoin and its tribal urges for nostalgia and fetishizing their LEGO train

Humanity doesn’t care to ogle dead men’s workshops showcasing their individual brilliance for long

Car makers have been held liable for the lack of intentionally designed safety features

There’s plenty of precedent

I think lack of safety features that meet our current common knowledge of the potential failure scenarios should be enough to shut down a company

We can refuse to enable commerce that jeopardizes or personal safety (literal or ephemeral data theft)

Capitalists are just humans. They can be culturally pressured and shunned. Such behavior has been a hallmark of human society since they began

Physics is a vacuum of such rules. Human society has always had them

That’s the flip side of term limits. Doesn’t mean the advantage isn’t worth it

When they say “weakening” that seems like an emotionally overloaded choice picked for cultural resonance.

Is it really a weakening or just a new model to acclimate to and tweak as needed to ensure outcomes?

Why is giving any ground or change always coming along with “we won’t be strong in the same way!” rhetoric

Duh but that doesn’t negate the argument for change given other data over here

We’ve yet to discover a unified theory of reality

I highly doubt our system of social governance has found an equivalent

It has to change. It will change if history is any indicator

Better to have the conversations ourselves then leave it up to experts across the world

It’s like a metaphor saying only literal outcomes and shape of the world mean much. Whereas our ephemeral emotions which require us to stay “plugged into” an increasingly demanding cultural tradition despite the diminishing ROI most people are seeing (cause they’re ignoring the literal outcomes and shape for emotional feitishism)
