From: Twirlip of the Mists
Subject: Blighter Video thread
Keywords: Hexapodia as the key insight
Distribution: Threat of the Blight
Approved: yes
Date: 8.68 days since Fall of Relay
I haven't had a chance to see the famous video from
Straumli Realm, except as an evocation. (My only
gateway onto the Net is very expensive.) Is it true
that humans have six legs? I wasn't sure from the
Key Insights:
1. Information really wants to be freea€”if it is not free, if it is a€oecharged fora€D by
advertising, or otherwise, you will get into a world of hurt.
2. In the information age the capitalist mode of production has become a fetter on economic
development and human flourishing: Friedrich Engels was right.
3. We need free public-funded Mastodon < servers for everyone.
4. No! Wedona€™t!
5. We need John back in the future, to talk about: (a) the euthanasia of the rentier, what is
misnamed a€oesecular stagnationa€D and the coming of a capital-slack economy.
6. BitCoin, meme stocks, and so forth are a reflection of this capital-slack economy.
7. We need John back in the future, to talk about how Elon Musk is a walking, talking, ranting,
tweeting meme stock in human form.

8. We need multiple measures of economic activity: never draw strong conclusions from only one.
9. Xi Jinpinga€™ s plan to shut down social media and have more people building semiconductors to
put inside missiles and killer robots does not appear, so far, a great success.
10. The ratio of Googlea€™ s user value to its real factor cost is on the order of 20-to-l.
11. Googlea€™ s huge market power and profit rate powers the greatest Al-innovation engine in teh
world today.
12. Hexapodia!
