- We have no conclusive evidence to suggest that gravity is propagated by particles. Currently, we think that it very likely might be, but we have not come up with models to quantize gravity. U would win a Nobel prize if u did that.

Exactly. Inflation ughhh... I can't even afford to buy two dishes a day... :(
Who said there would be no centralised command? It would just be opt out. If an individual/community wanted to opt out of this, there would be noone forcing them to not do so.
As for evolution of political systems due to natural selection, would you say the same about democracy? Stable democracy that we know about today has existed only for the past 300 years. Women got the right to vote this century. If u r living under a dictatorship, would you use the same argument of natural selection to not fight for a democracy?
LMAO
Tankies rlly r delusional, huh
U r assuming that anarchists would be peaceful n just roll over on their backs to show their tummies to Genghis Khan.
The goal of anarchism is freedom. The existence of a State means no freedom. Thus, anarchist militias unite to fight this threat. A stateless society doesn't equate an unorganised society.
Just that they think that using house rules everyone agrees on is a great idea.
Kinda. The most important part is that if someone disagrees with the house rules, they can choose to disassociate from the house and go somewhere else. There's no state to say "this open field that's not utilized is mine, bitch!" and then taze you.
Which Iโm also not opposed to, if it was set up well
Wonderful! I'm working on it hard and fast. U'll most likely start seeing updates on it (actual images of the UI and so on) hopefully from tomorrow. I have an MVP almost ready (around 2 hrs of work remaining). I'll post about this from a different account soon!
I'm selling both. I'm saying that my functional product is superior because it has been developed democratically. At no point will some MBA guy waste money on a pointless rebrand when it could have been spent on some necessary feature. At no point will some rando billionaire come up and say, "ok, links in posts will be indistinguishable from images".
Again, same reason why democracies r almost always superior to dictatorships. Democratic governments work for the people more when compared to dictatorships. It makes the products n services that they offer superior.
Of course. Copyleft ftw!
Or fork it, add your own features
U would have to have software development skills for that. What if u'r an Amazon worker who just wants to have a platform where u n ur co-workers can freely organise a strike without censorship? U'r screwed now.
I don't know how well this would fare, because it sounds to me like you're replacing the dev lead position with a democracy/hivemind.
You raise very valid points here n in the text that follows. However, if u think about it, it turns to a democracy vs dictatorship debate.
"What would the peasants know about governing a country? A country should be governed only by experts because they know what's best for everyone". Of course u'r not saying stuff to this extent, but that's kinda it. And u'r right. Dictatorships have a high risk to reward ratio. If u get a good dictator, progress can be tremendous. If u get a bad dictator, u die. Democracies generally tend to be a lot more stable and last longer.
U can see the above trend in case of failure rates of cooperatives and corporations. Coops have a significantly less rate of failure when compared to corporations..
As for why we don't have social media coops? Well, social media is a pretty recent invention. It required a ton of investment to become profitable. In the capitalist model that we live in today, equity is the biggest n easiest way of fundraising. U can't do equity based fundraising for coops. Fundraising for coops has to be in the form of bonds n loans, which is very hard to get for such new tech.
That's my hypothesis as to why we don't have many social media coops running around. Take groceries however. There r retail coops practically everywhere, n in some countries they make up a huge huge chunk of the market share. Take the example of credit unions. They've practically existed forever n have provided much better services to their members when compared to banks.
I mean... That's kinda what casual conversation looks like, no? It can get a little cheesy, sure. But ehh I kinda like someone asking me how my day was hehe
