  • You do not get to the level of success that Mr. Beast has without stepping on people to get there.

    It’s safe to say this of any hugely successful person. They by and large all have despicable qualities to them, the question is are they introspective and working to change those qualities in a positive way? I don’t think many of them are.

    This is less an indictment on Mr. Beast and more on ultra successful people in general.













  • I will continue to argue that GenX is the only true technology literate generation because we grew up with the technology as it evolved. Future generations are more consumers not partners in the technology they own.

    Yea it’s a vast generalization but Apple is a good analogy of this. Most people now just want “a technology that works” without any understanding or control over how it works. That’s a recipe for technological serfdom under the new generation of technocratic companies designed to own us.

    Am I ever going to own a free phone? Probably not, but that doesn’t excuse me from at least understanding from a high level all the players involved in my phone and where they’re generating value from me.

    I agree 110% but it’s also worth mentioning that windows isn’t as finicky as we complain about. If it was, companies wouldn’t by and large rely on it.

My home computers have been Linux for decades now. I’m a realist. There’s value and challenges with every OS. I hate the industry trend of Windows over Linux but I get it
