Keynesian economics helped bring capitalism to the late stage. The central premise is to cause inflation so that workers are encouraged to invest in businesses, growing the overall economy. Which it did! The economy has grown drastically... but we don't own it.

Keynes suggested that we spend the inflation money on public works, not guaranteed returns for people with so much money that they can lock it away in bonds. It's an idea that requires a functioning democracy while constantly funneling money away from workers. We're creating all these bubbles because people want to save for the future but everything is a scam. Keynes didn't realize that what he was asking for was free information that we don't have.

Keugman and other modern Keynesians generally mean well. But they're incredibly dangerously wrong, and we never should have listened to them.

    I would be very hesitant to join a group with the social expectation of keeping conversations secret, but we all digitally sign our messages. I don't care if my client says it's disappearing. All it takes is one liar to prove anything objectively.

    Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

    One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

     

    My understanding of federation is that it's like email. If one server is misbehaving, then they get defederated.

    So how come email spam still exists - why don't spammer domains get defederated? It seems like we've got the worst of both worlds, where it's hard to get your emails relayed when you run a small email server, and easy to get them relayed if you're a spammer.

    Is there anything about Lemmy's architecture that will prevent this problem?
