What kind of question is that? What are you arguing for?

Do you think extreme concentration of power and wealth is good? Do you want to be free? Do you want to elect your leaders?

Again, this is not about SpaceX and Amazon and other companies. These companies do cool and good stuff! The topic is the concentration of power and wealth and the negative externalities of that.



I think there's no way to tell right now whether there's going to be a net positive or negative outcome.

> Do you think extreme concentration of power and wealth is good?

I mean, it might move the humanity into the positive direction.

> Do you want to be free?

That's such an abstract concept, I don't even know what it means.

> Do you want to elect your leaders?

Whenever I go, people complain about the government, east and west alike. Maybe I don't want to.

I think your reasoning is ideologically charged, without any argumentation. I'm just pointing out that it's hard to judge how the things will turn out now.


If liking freedom and democracy is ideologically charged for you we might just not be able to find common ground for a discussion here.

Have a nice day.
