Aren’t we all just walking carbon wrappers? Humanity’s moat is free will, yet people throw it away for a perceived feeling of safety. If your value can be reduced to inputs to a system designed to keep you ingratiated to it - you are a slave. A slave in mind is as good as a slave in body in a knowledge economy.

I design or think about intelligent systems pretty much every hour on the hour. I spoke to @bias earlier. We shared our respective thoughts on capitalism. (We both come from humble beginnings) I build and sell products that engage user psychology. (1/2)

I couldn’t help but observe how the system benefits from pitting the proletariat against one another. I watched a media tour clip of a political candidate pandering to his audience by speaking down on the other party and propping up a lowly minimum wage employee in a back water town. The worker was toyed with. 1/2

This didn’t settle well with me. If only he knew better. Had the faculty or resources to develop more agency. I’m sure he would feel the same as I. That he’s being used as a mind slave by an oppressor who shakes his hand and smiles in his face. @bias
