#capitalism requires what people call "magical thinking". it requires people to believe that impossible things aren't merely *possible*, but can be done routinely, and turned into a dependable cash flow. #AI / #AGI of the @fchollet / @JeffDean sort is a perfect example.

the very name "#AGI" gives the game away: the #programming boys daydream that they've invented a "general intelligence", a universal thinking machine capable of solving literally any problem—and #capitalism is willing to gamble on that. it's just what #business wants.
(2/x)

remember that the ideal corporation in #capitalism *does nothing*. it produces nothing, it provides no service, it solves no problems for anyone not in the ownership hierarchy—because producing things *costs money* and capitalists hate all expenditures for any reason.

so! let's talk about the #cryptocurrency phenomenon again. $BITC / @Bitcoin, $ETH / @ethereum, $USDT / @Tether_to, $BNB / @binance — there are a LOT of these #cryptocurrencies out there, maybe even millions of them. and that's a first clue about them and about #capitalism.

it's gospel #capitalism that the activities of "the #markets"—capitalist propaganda i.e. #business and #finance and #investment #journalism, not to mention all the #science and #technology journalism that's chiefly #advertising for corporations—are supernaturally powerful.
(2/x)
(2/x)
the central lie is that "the markets" (i.e. the sum total of all monetary transactions by all money-seeking entities in #capitalism) are the best possible mechanism for fulfilling every conceivable human need.
if it's not "on the market", then you don't really need it.

America's political right-wing has undergone remarkable evolution since the fraudulent installation of @RonaldReagan into the White House in 1980. there's an irony in how the 1980s and 1990s @GOP and their partisans was proud of "right-wing" as a label: Rush is Right!
(1/x)
(1/x)
because now nobody wants "right-wing" or "conservative" to stick to them. instead the game is to pretend that *none* of that political language means anything at all any more—in other words, you can call yourself anything and it means about the same. the @mtaibbi method.
(2/x)
(2/x)
heck, @Sargon_of_Akkad is an extreme right-wing *reactionary*, someone who wants to roll back the social clock to the days of chattel slavery—and he's "centrist" in the same way that @mtaibbi is "independent". they don't *want* the words to mean anything.

let's talk about #investment.
#capitalism and capitalists' fortunes are built on this practice. all the free-flowing #business and #finance propaganda, churned out in huge volumes for the edification of persons who've devoted themselves to #money, talks about _investing_.

the great bulk of money made in #capitalism goes only to the ownership class; the toilers below them get pennies. those unable to toil get *less* than nothing—capitalism wants such people to be liquidated, hence @charlesmurray and @EPoe187 cook up rationales for doing so.
(2/x)
(2/x)
ultimately this is *why* #eugenics and "scientific racism" exists at all: #capitalism needs some pseudointellectual justification for marginalizing and liquidating all human beings who are unable or *unwilling* to toil for capitalism. this is WHY @Quillette is well-funded.

Western civilization has failed.
there's no way to avoid this. #COVID19 proved to be the "final straw", as they say—the West's general response to the challenge of the Covid19 pandemic was to abandon its commitment to public health. the next pandemic will scythe us down.

the breakdown in the West's ability to respond to crises of disease has been ongoing—many decades in the making.

the needs of *public health*—measures to ensure that ALL inhabitants of a nation receive some acceptable minimum of medical care of all sorts, including mental health care—conflict with the needs of #capitalism: the more _profitable_ #medicine is, the more costly it is.

the egos of these hopeless mediocrities...@walterkirn, @mtaibbi, @jbarro, @mattyglesias, @thomaschattwill, the whole pack of them...
I have, quite seriously, rarely encountered a wider gap between pretension and reality. even @elonmusk seems more grounded at times.

~Mona
laughter aside...this is a serious issue. @walterkirn and @mtaibbi are but a symptom of a profound *sickness* in Western #journalism, a sickness whose ultimate cause can only be #capitalism—which rewards mediocrity and unfounded egotism in its systems of leadership.
~Mona
~Mona
Kirn and Taibbi might as well be "Peter Principle" #management and #executive persons—people who have their lofty positions not because of *skill* but superior social privilege, and because they're more ruthless and cynical in their dealings with other people.
~Mona
~Mona
and really this is what the failure of #capitalism boils down to: capitalists hate *equilibrium*. a healthy planet full of life is a physical system—one of profound complexity, but still, a system in dynamic equilibrium, maintaining an approximately steady state over time.
(1/x)
(1/x)
"steady state", in economic terms, would mean a #business that continues to provide approximately the same services or products over time to a steady clientele—not a *constant* number of clients but one that varies up and down with time, oscillating about a steady average.
(2/x)
(2/x)
and this #business would continue over time to charge about the same for its products or services, and the profit rakeoff going towards workforce and #management pay would also remain about the same. this approximately stable state would be a business at equilibrium.

#capitalism is essentially *backwards* looking. yes, capitalists attempt to pretend that they're the masters of #innovation and advancement of #technology, the builders of the #future, and all that.
it's lies—mere #marketing. capitalists do not like progress or change.

corporate #management and #executive persons want one thing above all others: guaranteed #money. they want *safe bets*. they don't want #competition or #risk; they want a steady source of "passive income" that always goes up and up.

#capitalism optimizes for bad engineering. I don't think there's any good reason to doubt that.
capitalism—thanks to the authoritarian methods of capitalist leadership, and the extreme fixation on profiteering and wealth-hoarding, *cannot* and will not build to last.

the easiest way for corporate #management and #executive persons to increase profits, instantaneously, is by *increasing their skim*. they shave more and more and more off every budgetary item they can possibly think of—capitalists *especially* begrudge paying workers.

the ideal worker, in #capitalism, pays the capitalist to have a job.
this is essentially what "company scrip" is about—and capitalists have been attempting to reintroduce the idea of paying workers with false money via the magic of @jack's favorite thing, #cryptocurrency.

this amusing image passed our way this morning; it's a rendered image (like most of @elonmusk's publicity materials) of that hideously low-polygon @Tesla truck that will probably never reach market.
I would like to offer a speculation as to why it looks so ugly.
~Mona

the hideousness of the $TSLA truck is baffling, even taking into account the mind-numbing effects of being in @elonmusk's quasi-religious faction. it's the sort of thing that makes you wonder: "didn't *anyone* of importance denounce this thing during the design process?"

we aren't sure how it happened or when, or how broad is the scope of the problem, but it seems as though #capitalism and corporate #management decided that there's power in *cult leadership*.
look up "corporate cult" and you'll find a lot! e.g.

Mr. @elonmusk is a public and visible example of this phenomenon of corporate bosses ruling their companies as though they were Jim Jones or L. Ron Hubbard—demanding *personal loyalty* from all their associates, accumulating followers whose faith in their leader is total.
~Mona
~Mona
the #ElonMusk cult is unusually prominent and well-promoted; many reactionary-bıgot celebrities like @ggreenwald and @mtaibbi have been furnishing Musk with lavish *service*.
but it can't be doubted that Mr. @elonmusk is only one of a huge crop of corporate cult leaders.

You know what would help Students that I know who are dealing with #StudentLoan/#StudentDebt?
Actually use #Executive Order & Abolish All #StudentLoanDebt with a swivel of a pen.
That's what would help them & strengthen the #Economy!
Seriously #Democrats, it's not hard to do!!

Seriously! The only time he Eliminated #StudentDebt was for #ForProfit College Scams & other stuff, yet he promised to eliminate $10,000 #StudentLoan Debt he didn't do! But put aside $10,000 to Abolish, We have $1.73 Trillion of Student Debt in America which can all be abolished.
The @POTUS can use #Executive Order to Eliminate #StudentDebt with ease to help Americans who are being held back from debt that's god knows how long.
So forget abolishing just $10,000 of #StudentLoan, abolish all $1.7 Trillion of the #StudentLoanDebt!

Luego de algunas semanas de research en ALIBABA $BABA y dada la compleja comparación con otras empresas, decidí plasmar takeaways sobre el modelo de negocio de este gigante (vs similares de USA) del ecommerce $AMZN + fintech $PYPL + cloud service AWS + streaming $NFLX $SPOT.
🧵
🧵
Todos conocemos $BABA pero hay cierto halo de misterio/confusión sobre el #Businessmodel, su transformación, como lograron ser el "market-leading innovator" y la convivencia entre fundamentals y el PESIMO contexto del PCC de #china. Su ecosistema combina muchas empresas.
Fundada en 1997, año en que $AMZN hizo su IPO y un año antes de $EBAY's IPO, actualmente tiene un market cap de USD536B. Comenzó monetizando la publicidad en su boletín online de negocios y comercio, un modelo mas bien parecido al de $GOOG y $FB con altos márgenes operativos
My family, knowing how close I was to my #mother, is trying really hard to fill the gap
They mean well, but are wired so differently from me & see the world so differently, that it’s making it worse - I miss her more
She can’t be replaced
She’s gone

I am one of these circles.
I essentially want to be a circle of one right now, though.
Others’ ways of processing grief or their ideas of what I need can frustrate.
Everyone knows I was very close to Mommy.
But only I can take care of myself.
No one else can help me.

It’s not unique to grief. I accepted, a long, long time ago: only I can help myself.
I did find some sense of community in informal grief circles online. That meant a lot and helped in the first month. Now, it is just so personal, what my mother meant to me.
