“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”

Happy Birthday Ursula K Le Guin

@Wolven In the near future, I intend to introduce a "better mouse" that will outcompete traditional #capitalism and provide workers with better wages and social security benefits.
@Cirdan @Wolven
What is your timeline to first release?
@quoidian @Wolven The first of the year. I'm not advocating some "perpetual motion" machine or another remade socialist idea. What suprised me is that other people haven't thought of this before me, and I've researched the literature. If somebody announced the idea tomorrow, I would be happy it was available for debate.

@Wolven

This is why AI is being used to take art away from us. By forcing creatives out of the artistic spaces, they seek to forestall their fall from power like some desperate parasite looking to survive if only it can siphon off enough blood.

@Wolven Exchange is in our nature, beneath king, capitalism or socialist komisar, capitalist markets always appear, organized under the sign of crime or, convenience. Thus far anyway. Design dreams of a perfectly frictionless and fair AI economy aside (I'm not sanguine about cyber libertarian wet dreams), historically capital pools like water at the lowest ethical points. Is all art doomed to producing fantasies of our better angels, who will always disappoint us? Opiates no less than religion?

@Wolven
A cynic might be tempted to point out that we have never stopped resisting and that the only thing that has changed is what we resist.

Art makes it bearable.
