I agree with this plan. There’s too much risk and we don’t have reason to trust Meta.

Another common one that I hear is, “Why do all cars look the same?” The truth of it comes down to two general factors, safety and improving aerodynamics to improve fuel economy.

As someone who dropped put of business school to fix cars for a living, I feel this.

As someone who enjoys quantum mechanics, but papers are too far over my head; and has struggled with a nagging sense that something about all the explanations just wasn’t making sense, thank you for this beautifully clear explanation of how these conclusions were reached.

I am angry at myself for actively seeking this one out based on your comment in another meme. Why do I do this to myself.

Under capitalism, value is extracted and concentrated. That in turn means that your employer is motivated to get as much value out of you as they can. Companies are motivated to charge you as much as they can convince you to pay.

Think about a friend who might ask to buy something of yours; let’s say it’s a sofa. If we apply that same logic of capitalism, you should try to get as much money as possible. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like the way that it feels.
