Speaking of Thiel and Shannon....
Speaking of Thiel questions, and things I didn't know, here's a fine example.
Economist Matt Stoller narrates how we lost our industry and our country to China, leaving only the rich alive.
It was a two-sided pincer movement as always. I didn't know about the other side.
The obvious side was the Friedman twins, Milton and Thomas. Share Value is the universe. Products and factories and workers must be exterminated.
The official opposition was the Consumer Rights Movement, which said that low prices are the only thing in the universe. How do you get low prices? China.
I wasn't aware of this movement, but it fits the pattern. Deepstate always runs "two" "opposites". One side pleased the rich fuckheads, the other side pleased the consumers. BOTH AGREED that production should stop. BOTH AGREED that SKILL is irrelevant. BOTH AGREED that humans have no purpose except enriching the rich.
The consumer pincer evolved into MMT and the web's fake 'everything for free'. These movements tell us that we shouldn't have to pay for anything, which REALLY means that we're worthless and disposable. When you're not a source of money for business, you're NOT NEEDED by business.
Thanks, Stoller! You told me something I truly didn't know, and it's a non-trivial consequential piece of information.
Incidentally, I paid for value by subscribing to Stoller's Substack. It doesn't look especially interesting, but one Shannon fact is worth plenty. Also, Substack itself has SO FAR avoided censoring unfashionable opinions, which makes it worth supporting FOR NOW.
Also incidentally: Before the web, dissidents communicated through obscure newsletters, generally mimeographed or Varityped. Substack seems to recognize this historical resonance. Each of its writers has a newsletter, not a blog or a webzine.
