What really turned me against capitalism is its competitive nature. I hope to live to see cooperation supplant competition. I won&#39;t, of course, but I want to devote my life to that goal. 2025-12-28T16:49:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxuz2v32s292jaktlsek69nregfkc6y8fawlqzcdp7f5hvlczs40szyq7ckadgwguy43exrd6xrsg0ns289zq00wqsrjly27y3ra98aa6yz440rn3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy6kyher62aywta6az387z3mxfrqtwucnlz2h57pfc5n3uztjf76q2a5nyf'>nevent1q…5nyf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Is it a turnoffable feature?

My usual go-to example is on-the-job training, and 100.0000% of programming jobs requiring programming experience, and employers bellyaching about the broken talent pipeline that they collectively broke. Difference with me is, I think the tragedy of the anticommons is an equally real and consequential phenomenon. Wikipedia&#39;s textbook example is the aviation industry during WWI, but I think &#34;intellectual&#34; &#34;property&#34; in general is a particularly tragic anticommons. Another is the sort of opportunity hoarding (or &#34;glass floor&#34;) that the respectable classes perpetrate using unpaid internships and the like for professional gatekeeping. 2025-08-11T14:54:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsptfs7dl43f98qylwfqdcd8dr2c26qc3890lxanpxcrday6j83r2szyq7ckadgwguy43exrd6xrsg0ns289zq00wqsrjly27y3ra98aa6yzg6925w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxyxw06zgj5h45sm5l69e95hmvq00lgxuj5ea7xcv8dw5d87qzntg4d7rzj'>nevent1q…7rzj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve never believed in inevitable progress, but please don&#39;t ask me to disbelieve in progress itself, including technological progress. 2025-07-05T14:33:18Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsz49wn02y9fj9qkm9clhd5dgfhvjmnvjkzgkv94tjkztg7v52snmgzyq7ckadgwguy43exrd6xrsg0ns289zq00wqsrjly27y3ra98aa6yzpqzen3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2wx9z56pkf94ftgd8zscf7mymuy2nyrgapqqaka48qc7dzkg4xugj7gy9u'>nevent1q…gy9u</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m tactically a social democrat, but my dream for humanity is cooperation overtaking competition quite decisively.
