Lot to take in here! I think we’re basically on the same page, with some nuances (because we’re humans from different places!). For example when I said design, I thought of the paintings that are made to go well with someones kitchen and staircase. Not a beautiful art nouveau coffee machine. I’d love living in a world where art > utility, so I moved to france, and at least we have all the beautiful buildings to boot.
I think lots of people get stuck in the rat race, and forget about beauty, but at least we got our culinary culture and rich history as a backdrop. In hardcore capitalist countries like the USA I guess not so much, where form or function are not questions but an afterthought of the commercial viability, and even that seems to be crushed by predatory market practices.
Anarco capitalism, is that “ancaps”? I always thought they were young angry people who never needed to rely on anyone except themselves (yet) and their mom, and I guess a bit low empathy and a black and white world view.
I hate the part where everything has to be monetised, I’d love a space where everyone could just share everything they do or like.
Fantastic.
