As per Daniel Ahmad:

    As I mentioned in another thread, this is completely in line with the technofeudalist ideology: Welcome to the Age of Technofeudalism | WIRED WWW.WIRED.COM In Yanis Varoufakis’ latest book, the former Greek finance minister argues that companies like Apple and Meta have treated their users like modern-day serfs.

    You're absolutely correct that he's anti-capitalist, because he's something far worse: a technofeudalist.

    Ah-ha! I've long held that notion at an intuitive level, but I'm pleased to see actual empirical evidence to support it! And if I was forced to draft in the first round, I sure as hell wouldn't take a QB.

    Zuckerburg literally began yesterday's 1Q earnings call by explaining to analysts all the ways the company intends to keep investing in these cash-hemmorhaging initiatives.

    I would easily be the worst GM in the NFL as I'd absolutely never keep first-round picks if I had them.

    Uh-huh. Sure. Best of luck, guys! Has anyone who says that the want to adapt Blood Meridian actually read the book?!?! Because anyone who has read the book knows that there's absolutely no way in hell that it's adaptable.
