And I’m not saying that we should fight like animals, I’m just saying that property rights are foundational to individuality. It’s not a mental construct and it’s not negative.
Quite the opposite. The idea that we should own nothing or feel no attachment to the environment that sustains us is the concept that’s foreign and unnatural.
I’m sure inflation helped… but I’ll take the W.
It’s a network & platform with an absolutely insane amount of people on it. IMO, saying we should all just abandon it and leave the iPhoners with no options is like saying we should write the best book in the world but refuse to print a version in English.
In addition, I love my MacBook M1. Apple makes awesome hardware. The iPhone on the other hand is replaceable, it’s good, but nothing magical. There are some great android devices too. The Mac hardware however is extremely hard to beat, their application ecosystem is hugely valuable especially for media production, and Windows as an alternative OS is just a joke, imo. Linux is solid and it’s free… as long as you don’t value your time. h/t nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8
I have various issues/problems/privacy & control concerns with Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and all the major social platforms. I pick my battles.
Lol what’s up? No love for Linux??
I guess Amazon is trolling me… they do this new thing where they drop the price of everything I buy between 10-30%, 1 day after I buy… and then send me an email about it… to rub it in my face, I guess 🤷♂️
WTF, Amazon. WTF.
I’m sold. I’ll be trying some of that this month.
Why would self preservation be a flaw in our dna? We derive our well-being from the land. Literally all of the wealth in the world is derived from the land. It feeds you, it clothes you, it provides all of the minerals and materials necessary for the modern world. Even the little computer in your hand.
Why wouldn’t you fight for your little piece of it? If you don’t have any, then you don’t have the ability to do any of the above for yourself.
You become a kept slave. Someone that works for someone and never owns anything. You are dependent on what that “someone” is willing to provide you.
We have a word for that…
Did you render your own tallow? Never thought of doing that, but that’s a great idea.
Nice! What else do you can? We tried chicken, pork, pickles, and jams. I’ve never tried pasta sauce.
Property rights are fundamental to individuality are natural. Even in natural law, animals claim territory and defend it to the death. In some species, we see generations maintaining the same environment.
t’s no different than owning farmland and passing that to your children. There is nothing more natural.
The more interesting thought is having all things in common and the lack of personal property rights. We’ve tried it. It fails miserably every time. Resources are squandered and care for the environment is neglected. When everyone owns something, really, no one owns it. When no one owns it, someone must be forced to care for it which is why communism always turns authoritarian. By necessity, it must.
Can’t believe they skipped the blackberry. I still remember when the “world edition” came out… I was hot shit back then. And a full keyboard… 
Dude, I’ve been buying physical books for years... Still listening to podcasts.
People always say, “Wow, you must read a lot.”
I’m like, “meh, I’m somewhat of a collector” 😂
If you’re in a city, you’re already in the modern prison. It’s a food desert.
Life and liberty are in the land.
It’s always such a sham. Of course they’re not shutting down. They never really shut down.
I’m pretty sure that’s racist. Damn white supremacists…
Things move fast on here. I never know what’s going on. Just watching the cool kids do cool things… 🤷♂️
And Ghislaine Maxwells dad was a double agent between mossad and the crown…
Long list of spies and blackmail.
