If the state was primarily a venture capitalist, employing professional (highly paid) investors then the profits would accumulate in the commons. The military has been our VC and the state gets no stock, dividends, or appreciation.

That’s because you’re focusing on constraints rather than responsisbilities, and on self rather than commons. Look at the difference between the commons in india and china and the west. Why?Look at class responsibility in india vs china. List what each civ is NOT responsible for.

You are a resource to be used for virtue signaling, without producing any contribution to the commons other than the expenditure of oxygen (or keystrokes). Xian tolerance is a promise of non-aggression. Virtue spirals are its application as hyperconsumption. It’s revolting.

Luke Weinhagen yet again demonstrating he is the master of the economics of tolerance, forbearance, and evasion of costs of the commons: parasitism, free riding, corruption. https://twitter.com/LukeWeinhagen/status/1524390219356774402

In the absence of contract for cooperation on the production of commons, the only solution is violence. I prefer to fix and restore the contract by the threat of violence rather than the practice of it. I prefer to fix it by reason vs threat – but that’s proven impossible. 🙁

The most irritating and revolting forms of conspicuous consumption are those that reward us for evasion of responsibility for mind, emotion, body, and commons.
Decadence isn’t an opinion.
It’s a fact.

Given the spectrum of commons from Cooperative (private) orgs, Opportunities, Informational public, Informal Public, Formal Public, to Physical Public any or all can be inhibited, but largely the formal and the physical and the opportunities that result from investing in them.

He bought it because he pursues creating public goods. It’s another of his heroic moral ambitions to compensate for childhood aspie frustration.
Twitter is a simple business, with trivial technology, held together by first-mover network effect. Its problems are easy to fix.

SADIQ: Why shouldn’t social media companies allow the public discourse that assists in the integration of low trust people, with low responsibility for high trust commons, by literally ‘shaming’ them into norms, values, and institutions that make our high trust possible?
