Rarity posted:I like the bit where they acknowledge that capitalists are parasites At least they're acknowledging that if you take all the money out of the economy it dies, and maybe they should only siphon enough that it can still remain healthy. It's the sudden realisation that even if they could employ enough armed guards to avoid being torn to pieces by a mob, they still wouldn't be able to spend their money on anything because all the people who do the actual work would be dead, but still.

Acknowledging that capitalism is parasitic and endemically externalises all of its costs is honestly incredibly forward thinking from a presentation to capital. But the concept of 'regenerative economy' taking nature into account makes me very worried when it's probably drawing on the concepts of like... those various ecosystems where regular small-scale fires to clear out the underbrush help the big trees grow stronger and allow space for their seeds to flourish. Which is not only not the kind of thinking you really want to see from capitalism but... exactly what it's already doing.

I feel like most capitalists are pretty aware of exactly what they're doing, they just don't care / are able to lie to themselves that it's for the greater good like if some of them are deciding that they want things to be different now, that's nice and all but the system is set up to reward things like externalising costs and leeching as much as possible and exerting political influence to make sure you can keep doing it. does mr cool slide man have any actual suggestions for how to actually get to magic capitalism or is it all chaos dragons??

Apparently this comes up a lot anyway, some technical consultant was posting about being in meetings with these people and instead of talking about the thing the meeting's about they were spending all their time asking about technology to protect themselves and schemes to keep them isolated from the angry hordes Of course one solution is to try and keep the angry hordes as small as possible by pretending you're doing something through Responsible Capitalism, greenwashing, tech evangelism etc, this looks like more of that

The great thing about these billionaire fortresses is that they've very obviously not thought it through even a tiny amount - all of the servants, maintenance people, and most of all armed guards they'll need to keep it running will have families who will presumably be left outside the walls. What's the likely lifespan of Jeff Bezos when he tells his private security that it's time for them to leave their parents, spouses and children to die in the apocalypse and come make sure he can keep pumping HGH into his cock in New Zealand?

I mean, you promise people with no parents and dependents food and lodging during the coming apocalypse, that they'll live like kings in a world when 90% of people live like serfs or drown, they'll come. You don't have to get many. ANd the world has plenty of selfish assholes in it.

There will be a few sycophants willing to do so. Remember there was a guy who started the Elon Must Bitcoin, and wanted to gift half of the existing coins to Elon just to get close to him. Most people though, as soon as Bezos turned around, would shoot him in the base of the neck and take over.

So, had my formal visit from the council today and can happily announce that Fudjit now has a 5* food hygiene certificate! To celebrate I知 going to cook me up some experimental fudge. I知 thinking marmite flavour- given it basically tastes of salt and umami it should synergise quite well with the sweetness, like my Sea Salt line.

You're probably right but now I'm thinking of good sweet and savoury combinations, and thinking barbecue sauce might be a good reference point. Not the cheap HP sauce knockoffs that you get in fast food restaurants, the proper honey and chilli-based concoctions that will be the actual cause of the next American Civil War. Probably not something I'd want to eat every day but it might work, especially with the right texture, like very slightly chewy/sticky.

Basically, it might work as a gimmick flavour but my thinking is that Marmite might make a genuinely tasty fudge. I am prepared to be proven wrong on this though..
