edit: actually maybe not exactly. They're the same slides but the crop is not identical

@aud @lina @dev @ricci @secretasianman 3 eggs in the goose are worth 71 in the bush

@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev wait I just noticed there is sub-microscopic text in the lower right corner of each slide hwat?

[ricci@discuss.systems]

@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev there are citations for the fucking egg diagram

[dan@discuss.systems]

@ricci @SnoopJ @regehr @dev okay who’s gonna cite the egg diagram in their next paper?

[mdekstrand@hci.social]

@dan @dev from these slides at least it’s not clear wtf they’re even saying.

are the arch-capitalists endorsing Marxist theories of surplus value?

are they saying they are geese?

instructions unclear.

@ricci @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev ASSUMING ONE TRILLION YEN PER EGG

[ricci@discuss.systems]

@amy @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev I often assume this

[deborahh@cosocial.ca]

@aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev eggcellent!

[ricci@discuss.systems]

@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev the tone shift between the nonsense slop of the images and the ultra legalese of the text is just incredible

@jonny check this out

[dev@discuss.systems]

@ricci Ed is awesome but I think he got there before me

[inthehands@hachyderm.io]

@ricci @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev @jonny

Surely different authors: the first tasked with pitching, the second tasked with correctness sufficient for legal CYA

@twifkak @dev Make the bubble bigger.

@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev As long as the goose can keep laying golden eggs, it doesn't matter whether golden eggs are a thing you need or not

@dev

WTF am I looking at? I followed the link, it made it worse.

"Plant the tomatoes on whose land, Nick? Whose land?"

PS: Land ownership is a concept with some interesting looking challenges from Georgist economics. I like the notion of abolishing it and supporting ownership-like land use by renting land from everyone else.
