Pretty sure that’s why they invented the stock market in the first place… Faustian deal where innovators and disruptors trade their future potential for a leg up today. In exchange the wealthy slowly seize whatever new technology or IP is created, guaranteeing their position into the future.

Big tech wonder boys like Zuckerberg and others coming out of Y Combinator aren’t miracle stories - they are the chosen few handpicked by yesterdays elite to help them close the circle from others.

It scares me that generations before and after millennials are not as proficient with technology. Before makes perfect sense, but younger people being unable to use a computer or tell if they’re being scammed really disheartens me. I blame the excesses of capitalism and ignorance of our lawmakers.

The way the web and services are structured is extremely unfair to the consumer. We pay for access to the internet, then we pay for access to premium content sources and to stop ads for showing. So many middle men… where is the benefit exactly? How is a podcast better than my community radio?

The ownership of digital goods is the worst part of all. Games, music, tv shows… stuff that is a formative part of your life you should be able to pass onto your kids isn’t yours. You own a “license” which is just a record in some database that can be revoked between company acquisitions.

Hey that’s not fair - he invents his own narrative about reality all the time.

I really hate this venture capitalist led tech startup culture. I would like to see an engineer and expertise led tech startup culture. It’s infuriating to see people putting the cart before the horse for “smrt ekonomikz” meanwhile genuine good ideas go by the wayside, unfunded.

Imagine if some of this money just went into the open source community. Whose work powers most of the modern world.

I know I’m a just a dreamer but I’m not the only one.
