  • Well, in many other systems you have an overarching ruling layer that sets laws and is able to enforce them from a top level.

    That is precisely the reason why those systems can be relatively stable. As you just have a very large group of people following the same set of rules.


  • I like the idea of anarchism, but I see it as more of an ideal world view than an actual stable reality.

    To support this, every group member of every group must almost unanimously support the concept. When resources or safety in an area become scarce, it’s easy for some groups to evolve back into another power structure to take care of their own people.

    It’s really difficult for me to imagine everybody on this planet getting along with this. But I’m certainly interested in other viewpoints.







  • Most other companies can be selective in what they host / stream. YouTube will host/stream anything users upload and that’s actually quite insane. Current statistics say that YouTubers upload 30.000 hours of video… per hour.

    Aside from the streaming/processing, only the disk space that would need is already frightening. Most of those videos will never be seen, and no ads will be played on them. The setup needed for this is massively more impressive to me than services like Netflix.

    Do you perhaps have a source for those profit margins? I really wonder if they’re already running break even.
