What if you were Emperor and wanted to do literally anything at all, but a powerful prince said "No"?

Pretty much every single negative thing that people inaccurately attribute to "capitalism" is actually the fault of #monopoly power, not #capitalism. The real problem is #feudalism, which stems from #ownership of Nature as private #property allowing your employer to exert noncompetitive/anticompetitive power over you. If employers had to compete for your business, because you had the realistic option of working for yourself, your work environment would be far different. #DivideAndConquer

Hi @andypiper,
indeed. #Magic is #paternalist at best and often outright #authoritarian. It has a fundamental imbalance between the magician and the audience/subjects.
But magic gave way to science during the enlightenment. The subjects emancipated. Some. #Feudalism turned into civil societies. We don't need to fall behind that. We wouldn't have to repeat that history.
So goodbye platforms, hello networks. Of independant, cooperating peers. Or is it indiependant? Whatever. You get it: the #fediverse.
And front and foremost: keep it simple and friendly.
Cheers Andy, hope to see you again some fine day. Maybe Bolzano?

This represents not "The Death of Expertise", but the actual murder of it. The aristocracy will own everything, and you will be happy, right? This is not #urbanism, this is #feudalism.

The dead hand of the British aristocracy

Sheep farmers in the rugged Knockmealdown Mountains claim that some of their rents are being increased from €520 (Β£454) per hectare to €5,200.

@LovesTha
People value cars because they see them as a tool for #freedomOfMovement and with #freedom altogether. #serfdom under #feudalism deprived you of many freedoms and freedom of movement was one of them.
Cars are seen a symbol for freedom
