I am not venturing down that path because I like that path.
But compared to our (insert the most outlandish series of adjectives you can imagine) economic disorder that actually seems like the most practical alternative.
When the entire world acts, walks and sounds like the bullshitiest equation imaginable, within that framework only a hard core and revolutionary bullshitier solution can save the day.
Or maybe I have huffed too, no waaaaaaay too, much glue.

btw, are you hip to anarcho-syndicalism?
Anarcho-syndicalism proposes that labor must own the means of production via the simple arrangement that all corps must be 100% employee owned.
In capitalism capital owns TMoP.
In Commyism the state owns TMoP.
In anarcho-syndicalism Labor owns TMoP.
Noam Chomsky also digs this shit!
I dig a pony. You?
In a perfect world all MoP would be owned by everybody to offset taxation and finance the social safety net. But we don't live in a perfect world and we can't trust politicos to manage anything.
And MoP is an outdated concept. Today's economy is more about the means of banking, the means of insurance, the means of healthcare, you know all the service sector economy stuff that matters in the now.

cars don't kill people, self driving cars kill people.
--- Quote ---DETROIT — The race by automakers and technology firms to develop self-driving cars has been fueled by the belief that computers can operate a vehicle more safely than human drivers.
But that view is now in question after the revelation on Thursday that the driver of a Tesla Model S electric sedan was killed in an accident when the car was in self-driving mode.

You gotta forgive the self driving AI for this one, it is still in the beta testing stage of development.
A friend of mine owns a tesla and when he bought it it didn't do self driving.
BUT it spontaneously downloaded the programming to become self driving one day, and so it was: a self driving car.
Hackable, as reliable as an auto part or any Windows program, and careening through every city in the US at 60 mph, built by a corporate code to maximize profits and externalize risks and costs. AND they are gonna do the same to buses and 18 wheelers! (don't play in traffic, kids!)
Sounds like a recipe for disaster just like it did in the late 90s when I heard the first mention of SDV R&D.
On the other hand we have been using the same basic technology to steer ships and airplanes for decades and in my experience they definitely outperform human error.
I feel statistically safer. You?

Judging by my scroll-by scans.... he's REALLY limited. Seems to be a bot. Maybe poptart finally learned to copypasta, IDK. Clearly some sort of NRX addict looking for the True Lulz in all the WRONG forums.
It's so sad :lulz: :lulz:
