I'm with ya on that brother. We're being hijacked. The "information wants to be free!" crusaders didn't see this coming. (I was one of them)

as coined originally by
@stewartbrand, it also wants to be expensive, which i understood to mainly be referring to information asymmetry and how power dynamics arise from it.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

i do still believe the information wants - even deserves in some sense - to be free despite my snark above, but for that to actually work out positively we have to to be more discerning, to prune toxic information which on the whole results in less information being disseminated

nothingmuch @mHaGqnOACyFm0h5Replying to @mHaGqnOACyFm0h5 @YangVentures @BitcoinVisualsbefore the internet new information was scarce and thus almost always valuable, so novelty was an effective heuristic when choosing what information to consume or judging its relevance. since many people still use this heuristic, it is often exploited to manufacture consent.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

Replying to @literalbanana @dappsec and
that is a healthy perspective, and i must admit i shitpost a bit too much... i suppose the point where it crosses the line is when it's done in bad faith, as an attempt to establish dominance hierarchies or deceive. zero sum vs. positive sum.
