    What a dumb take. You don’t have to go anti-technology in order to be anti-capitalist. The technology itself is not the problem, it’s the capitalist capture that’s the problem. You don’t have to throw the baby with bathwater.

      Problem is I don’t see a baby whatsoever…

      People have looked at it from all sorts of directions and tried to propose use cases but none have come up with any particular use for this concept that isn’t just as well or better served by a different approach.

      Without the crypto-bros, sure, no one would be especially ‘anti-blockchain’ and it wouldn’t have the negative impacts it does today, it just would be a forgotten concept that didn’t go anywhere.

      Not all technology improves human life. There are torture devices, etc. The problem isn’t just that corporations see an uncomfortable toilet or addictive app and see dollar signs.

      Drugs have been a major problem for society since it began and there’s still no real solution for them. Some things just inherently cause problems and need some degree of restriction.
