@gortok it's not even intentional, it is an issue of scale, which was only unlocked from 2012-2014 onward with smartphones and the facebooks

I could watch #kelp undulating in a flume all day. https://t.co/XBPIYUStwI

@gortok but kindness doesn't really scale like the internet / smartphone / facebooks does, because it is not an endless well inside people .. if you let them they'll strip mine it out of you until you have none left for your kids.

which of these two competing models is better: A) I see a bunch of stuff and I have to click to make the stuff I don’t want to see go away or B) I see very little and I have to click to make the stuff I want to see appear.

Stallman out: https://t.co/KzUY3UXoaQ

@gortok I don't think the subtlety of that message works across countries and cultures, personally. The simplicity of the "be kind to everyone no matter what" rule is easier to.. enforce.

@gortok still weird since it codifies "you must be kind to the people in power", e.g. you can't punch up. But I think it is maybe unavoidable to have as a blanket rule..

@gortok I don't disagree, but one side effect is that you end up with a "you must be nice to the comcast reps" rule. That might rankle some.

@gortok tricky because hostile behavior is allowed between customer and service owners, isn't it? Like Comcast can't tell me I'm being mean to them.. can they? (not saying it's good, just thinking)

@carrickdb @mikerugnetta yes here the national wage index would only be relevant as "how much higher is this salary than the so-called norm", and multipliers of 2x, 3x, 10x, 100x, etc. So 100k today is 2x.

@carrickdb @mikerugnetta yes, $100k salary in 1980 = $311k today. What's tricky is that inflation doesn't affect all goods the same way. Televisions, computers, etc. But then rent and healthcare..

@carrickdb @mikerugnetta yes, believe me, (looks at white house) I understand the average person is wrong most of the time 😱

@carrickdb @mikerugnetta so it's about savings more than income in your view? Not disagreeing, just noting maybe for most average folks (per my earlier link) they're not thinking about savings in that "is someone rich" calculation?

@carrickdb @mikerugnetta my *personal* definition of rich is this: you never have to look at your bank account, because you know whatever you need (not want, mind you, *need*) will be covered. You're operating at constant profit.

@carrickdb @mikerugnetta Humor me and scroll down here, while looking at the "education needed" and "projected jobs" fields. https://t.co/wDmwMPgWgt .. based on the stats tech is the best paying job you can get with the minimum years of education. Don't really even need a degree..
