    Even fruit flies reproduce, but I can’t.

    Since fruit flies have better KPIs than I do, they would probably be more loved by corporations.

      Hi, as a fellow anti-geronto-corporatist, I noticed your interesting behaviour.

      (>500 points in a couple(?) posts, presumably highlypaid hardware hacker to freelance software)

      Principal-agent problem is supposed to be a 2-body problem but most interesting social problems are at least 3-agent problems

      From your post on cosmetic KPIs, I sensed some Taoist Duality; so lemme highlight this other hint of Trinity:

      >face is no longer the surface

      face is natural and powerful medium for communication. Any connection to worldly things --- wealth or even suffering --- can only damage its efficacy.

      Beyond duality of "overstated agency of rich" and "understated wisdom of not-super-poor" there exists a 3rd way:

        Universal freedom through mastery of communicative facial rationality.

      I also replied to your posts here, here and here, as thoughtfully as I could
