I love how this guy destroys the ElonMusk Cult ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=56862W24HK… - This Elon-multi-billionaire conned many people and he keeps on doing the same today. Yet people buy his nonsense. This channel has a ton of such videos about Musk. I highly recommend them Very well done and to the point ;). If Elon wanted to change this society for the better, he probably would not have become the richest man on Earth. #tromlive

in reply to Rokosun • •It is good but I'd say I can smell the tech-enthuziasm in this video - smells a bit the same as the crypto fanatics, techno-saviors, pricacy-paranoids, and such. He focuses on the fact that tesla will become like phones nowadays where you cannot control them, and how bad they are for privacy. But I think there is a bigger fish in that pond we have to go after, and the video I linked does a great job at exposing it: it is about how in our trade-based society humans are incentivized to trade trade trade- And this makes them lie, exaggerate, and so forth. And Musk is an example of that. He exaggerates the self-driving capabilities of teslas, and most of his technologies that are nothing new or revolutionary. That's more important because that's the story of pretty much every product out there.
Also the guy in teh video says something like: "Tesla should be more like Android, open to different software implementations and such" - I mean,,, really!? Android is not a good example at all. It is a bunch of licensed and proprietary and closed and controlled by google and others softw

It is a bunch of licensed and proprietary and closed and controlled by google and others software. Full of useless features. And used for trading. He also says: We should be allowed to hack our own cars.... - Well....ok...say you can "hack" Android....how many Android hacked OSes are out there? Google owns that market by the balls. Tesla would do the same even if you are allowed to "hack" your own car.
This is so easy to grasp when you understand what a trade-based society is: A human wants to make a car that's better. Better should mean: safer, easy to access, maybe faster, more comfortable, less polluting and such. Better should be encapsulated in what it means to be a car. What is the purpose of a car. In the same way that a cancer treatment is measured in how well it defeats the cancer, what are the side effects, and such. But not the price of it. It is teh value of a treatment encapsulated inside the medical field.
So if human A wants to make a better car, it should be a better car. That's all. However when human A wants to trade this car, then human A needs to find ways to to that. So it will add up what "better" means inside of this trade-based society, Useless features, colors, and such.
I was about to write more but I am busy....I am sure you understand tho.

in reply to Tio • • •I've read your book, so I understand much of what you're saying. You don't have to explain about trade and it's effects ;)
The video I sent you is of a tech channel, so yeah, its mostly talking from a tech perspective. One difference between these videos is that one is explaining how tesla is a fraud and the other is explaining how tesla could become a threat as a monopoly. This is just like how Facebook started out, and now everyone is trapped in this vendor lock-in.

in reply to Rokosun • •The lesser "evil" is not as lesser I'd say, and also it can become the "main evil" just as easy. I won't choose between apple and google, I would choose a trade-free linux and I'll make the point why. The same way I won't choose fair-trade products to buy and think they are better than Nestle or whatever. Both are "evil". So I would not choose sides between Pepsi and Coca Cola, i would look for other alternatives and if there are none, I won't support any of those. :P
Also, a trade-free car company seems impossible since it is a "company" after all. But there are plenty free-er transportation systems like subways, autonomous EVs in UK made by the gov, or whatever. They should showcase such examples if they are really serious ;).
In any case :P

in reply to Rokosun • • •I knew it would confuse to call that a company. That's why I put a /provider over there, I think that makes more sense 😁
Yeah, the examples you gave are much better. If there are transportation systems and vehicles funded by governments, that's a good alternative, not a "company". Again, this is because the force of trade is lower, just like you wrote in your book :)
