Don’t you think it’s funny that we are culturally averse to talking about things like religion, politics, having children, etc?
If your beliefs are so fragile that you can’t talk to others with an opposing point of view, doesn’t that scare you?
I will happily discuss my views on being #childfree, #religion, #bitcoin, and #politics.
I want to stress test the shit out of my core opinions about life and other stuff that matters, not hide in a corner with only others who agree with me. That’s little bitch thinking.
I would love to change my mind about anything I believe that turns out to have a better option.

Humanity would be better served if instead of seeking out experts/prophets who claim “this is THE way”, we instead started listening more to those who claim “this is A way”.
The second you are sure of anything, you should start to seriously worry about being completely wrong.
#Apple, as one of the largest corporations in the world, relies upon the current financial system to exist and is very much an integrated/symbiotic part of it now. It is not some benevolent actor but instead a vicious and heartless profit and yield generating machine.
This profit and yield comes at our expense. The products they sell and the services they provide give us the impression that they are somehow interested in improving our lives. Like the most sophisticated of religious dogma, this is a carefully crafted fairytale and nothing could be further from the truth. They say they’re here to help but in reality seek to own and control us for their benefit alone.
The simple fact is that anything else is impossible for a company the size of Apple. The motivation for a monopolistic corporation to continue to serve the public interest simply isn’t there anymore once they achieve a certain scale.
The only solution as a consumer is to not use their products. This will mean slight inconvenience as you may have to modify your habits somewhat or maybe learn to use another operating system or device.
So long as the majority continues to worship at the alter of these corporate behemoths, we will continue to see them do the only thing they are now capable of doing. Exploiting us for yield and profit.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because the recipe is always the same.
