  • its a simplified example, where the boss of the worker can barely break even and depends on the surplus he gets from waged labor to make a profit, machines let the worker make more product in less time, which means, for less wage and gives him more surplus

    in the case the machinery would let the worker make 100 chairs for 1g instead of 2, then the exchange value for 100 chairs would go from 950g to 901g and the time to produce them would go from 50 days to just 1

    EDIT: if the change of machinery is sudden then the boss can get away with still selling 2 chairs for 19g and have 49g as surplus a DAY, until market pressures take his surplus away

    if the worker was eliminated you could cut time shorter and shorter but not reduce cost through wage labor, and in a saturated market competition would barely let you break even














  • men are not an unified front that plans things behind womens backs, similarly, some random woman you see on the street is not conspiring against you specifically

    you should have a social codes for

    • people your romantically interested in
    • family
    • everyone else

    thats marginally less weird

    monogamy and poligamy are both social contracts all participants must agree on, both are morally neutral

    that dominance/submission thing i think its called power play, you can read about it if you want to, but its not a thing a majority of people will agree with you about it being necesary for relationships



  • a sandbox game where you interact with the enviroment, where you are the only entity that can force their will into their land, will inevitably result in the dinamics of imperialism, because your main directive will always be to ease the way you reach your objectives as much as possible, when youre doing something that would be unethical IRL, it has little consequence to you, so why not just do it.

    (also, why did they included factorio, the game is begging you to see that youre the bad guy in the story, you poison the land, you kill the local fauna in the most brutal way possible)





  • once corporations noticed the profitability of the internet, they wanted in on it, to make profit through it.

    the fastest way to make money through something is that people use it more than anything, make them mad and looking at drama, to increase conflict so you have to see a 12 part analysis on why did [important youtuber] fucked his cat or whatever. its a process that was happening even before 2012, the fact that it wasnt obvious then does not mean it wasnt happening.

    youre also experiencing nostalgia of a time you were unburdened by a lot of things. gamergate was fairly big by then.

    it couldnt have happened any other way.

    now you can just hope that someone tries to revive that atmosphere in a obscure mastodon instance or something. https://sadgrl.online/ is a site that helps with learning to do website stuff if you want to make a little shrine of those times. hope this helps
