Some great ideas came out of this podcast (esp. from 1:00:00 onward).
- Financialization means that everything that cannot be assigned of value is lost.
- Making the user control their data (Jaron Lanier's proposal) and sell it for value will simply be gamed from the other side, leading to dysfunction.
- Reward dividends instead of capital gains to get away from the requirement of eternal rapid growth.
- New digital platforms are embedded in the VC capitalist growth incentivized business model, so the bigger system drives the smaller.
- The loss of the old-fashioned impromptu visit or chat.
- We only connect to each other interpersonally these days via products and services not directly or via our own creations.
