    Scholars, the real deal, are rare for a reason - few people choose knowledge over wealth and power. There lies the crux of the matter, since anyone who pursues the other two paths would be the antithesis of the system so designed.

    It’s a nice model, but it runs too counter to human nature to work; and there is precious little (if anything) that can change the nature of a species as expansive as humanity.




  • The key concept they’re missing a lot of the time is that software sits within the file system and not the other way around.

    This is largely because apps hide this and data is generally stored in one place on your phone (the downloads folder).

    Best way to fix it - have 1–2 lessons entirely devoted to finding shit on their computer. My favourite activity is “ok, save your word file, close word, you now have 10 mins to find that file without opening word”.




  • I think it’s a case of copyright (allowing a creative to benefit from their creativity) vs copyblight (allowing a company and it’s legal team to predate on the creativity of others).

    This matter has always lurked in the shadows, but with the advent of “everything as a service”, the consumer is facing a lot more copyblight than copyright.

    To put it into context, when a game publisher copyright strikes a fan game, they’re not protecting the team who created the original game; they’re protecting the interest of shareholders. They’re ensuring the game IP remains a valuable asset to trade; not a product that inspires but one that enriches creatively bankrupt parasites.




  • I mean, it sounds to me like men also chose the bear. Why did they choose the bear, is it because they’re stupid? Probably not, they likely just thought their odds were better with the bear.

    Dropping the metaphor, and looking in the cold light of day, those young men saw a better future under Trumpler than Harris. Articles signaled this well before, and nothing was done to address it.

    Will their future be better - probably not. Can they be made to think their future is better, that’s a tough one. Remember, you can trick one group of people into thinking they have more rights by stripping the rights of those around them.
