Where I live, well off (seen in global scale), white, westerner is the average. Would you prefer me to represent an opinion that doesn’t reflect what I observe in my surroundings?

The Nordics.

I live in Denmark at the minute.

Not at the minute no.

Or I live in a country with better cops than you?

In terms of delivering the highest proven outcomes for the broadest amount of people I’ve not seen evidence that anything beats a well regulated market. If new evidence is presented I shall gladly revise my opinion.

I’m a pleasant human but find myself often downvoted for what I consider an average social democratic view; taking the viewpoint that, in my country, cops are generally trustworthy, the market works when regulated by a well functioning democracy and it’s ok to be wealthy, but expect to be properly taxed.

I would have said exactly the same, but about PhotoPrism. Funny how perspectives differ.

They deliver a working piece of software to you. They employ people to maintain it and add new features. They ask a price for this work.

How is this rent seeking?

Why do you think the super wealthy are so keen on robots and AI? When even the police officers can’t “have had enough” there is no rebellion possible, ever again.

It’s all getting worse and I can’t see any way to stop it.
