we live in a crazy world and our first priority must be to focus most of our energy on something that will do nothing to change any of that.

Sorry, Mr. The Rock, there are already too many anti-wokes in the running.

Centralization is so obviously more efficient of course it's being adopted in capitalism (same thing with the tendency for firms to merge and monopolies to develop) - unfortunately in these cases that benefit to efficiency just means making the rent seeking more efficient and nothing else.

But you're right, in my original reply I oversimplified and neglected the "capitalist GOSPLANing" as 420stalin69 put it

It makes complete sense. How can an kind-of-darwinian-but-confounded-by-misaligned-incentives system compete with a command economy that leverages the latest technology and appears to be radically adaptible to new conditions because its direction is centrally managed?

Yes perhaps 100 years ago before the invention of microprocessors that can do trillions or quadrillions of mathematical operations per second and glass fiber network infrastructure that can carry terabits per second of data it was "better" to have a million monkeys and a few really greedy monkeys hacking away at their typewriters but times have changed.

“Unless we figure out a different way to defend the way our economies work, we know what’s going to happen,” she said, “and it’s going to have significantly damaging economic and political outcomes for our systems”.

Yeah let's defend the shit, inefficient way of doing it instead of adopting the obviously better model. What a smart idea. Of course the west's attempt to do it would be so marred by corruption we'd just end up with Fascism 2 straight out of Mussolini's "corporatism".

Annoying because I'm sure people will keep using the xird site and nitter was the only good way to use it. I still won't make an account though.
