I'm working on a Very Important Documentaries​ episode on "if you hate capitalism so much, why are you using an iPhone." The main point I'm eventually taking on is that people who dislike capitalism or are actively advocating against it do not have a choice but to exist in capitalism. We aren't hypocrites for using technology or trying to get paid for doing work - we have to pay to exist too.

I look forward to putting it out for people to watch. ☺️

@petercoffin Serious question: any discussion of Gresham's Law in that docu?

I agree with the general premise. I'm increasingly thinking GL is a large part of the dynamic.

@petercoffin See also, "Necessity is the daughter of invention."

That is: we create things. Sometimes of necessity, sometimes not.

Those things themselves often become necessities.
