@2:40 re doomers as negative nancies is fallacy. Optimist as a construct requires they identify problems to be optimistic about. Keep the doom journalism going. Vibes based criticism is so lame 😂 flex your knowledge. I've been inpressed with the reporting. My respects. Keep flexing the knowledge. It's an aspect the corporate, morally vacuous tech bros can never touch. 🤘🙇🤙

@29:00 Specialism and cooperation ftw. Renaissance man, if it ever was possible, has definitely been impossible for 300 years.

@38:50 the broard audience publications and the big tech companies, where they are not two sides of the same coin, are two sides playing for the same team.

@41:00 this is a description of accountability. With the threat of litigation, accountability is scary. Not many people want to be labelled "that guy" and have vibes based negatively their way.

@45:20 inherited (colonial) wealth doesn't have a great history of present day smarts. Too powerful to (take the) fail. That's everyone else's problem. History has a litany of embarrassingly, catastrophic, failures from the offspring of insane privileges. Have you met Musk's kid?

@50:29 find the specialists! And psp piracy was very cool. Soft mods were fire. Still have several. Helped me study Japanese at the time. I can't wait for switch to go offline and I'll have 3ds/psp levels of tomfoolery.
