@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.

@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

"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.

@dev@discuss.systems Need a goose version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZkB11pO9R8. The presentation already gives... ideas.
