How Capitalism Becomes Feudalism (Severance and Technofeudalism) - 64,219 views June 25, 2024 Literate Machine *** CAPITALIST'S HATE CAPITALISM PERFERING MONOPOLIES - Mega Corporations not only have No Respect for their Employees but do not even have Respect for their Customers. Even Worse, they Often Have Evil Intent. Big Pharma for instance has No Problem Killing Their Customers or Making Them Perpetually Sick to profit off of their Pain, Suffering and Misery. - They have conclusively proven they cannot conduct themselves with integrity. Laws that are enforced with high penalties for violations are the only thing that can keep them inline. But when they Control the Politicians and Make the Laws, Corporate Tyranny is the inevitable result. As the Power of Corporations Grow, the Tyranny will surely increase. *** As commerce transforms around the new rent-extracting digital fiefdoms, algorithms and AI become a way to transform skilled labor into machine-learning piecework. - In Severance, technology is used to "sever" people's working selves from their actual selves, creating the perfect, dehumanized work force. - Correction: In this video I mistakenly spell Yanis Varoufakis' name "Varifakis". - You can support this project at   / ericrosenfield   where for as little as $1 an episode you can get exclusive authors notes, early access to episodes, and other goodies Tip me on Ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/literatemachine - Bibliography: https://literatemachine.com/2024/06/2... - Blog version and links to the podcast and mailing list at https://literatemachine.com - Special thanks to all my Patrons: Kathryn Carruthers, Gabi Ghita, Hristo Kolev, Kevin Cafferty, Ulysse Pence, Wilma Ezekowitz, Mike Gillis, Christian Frost, IndustrialRobot, Not Invader Zim, Jason Quackenbush, Arthur Rosenfield, and Nancy S.

President Biden defended his health and insisted he can beat former President Trump in November in a high-stakes interview Friday that came after his dismal debate performance in Atlanta last week. “I don’t think there’s anybody more qualified to be president or win this race than me,” Biden told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

During an interview with ABC News on Friday, President Joe Biden said that he hasn’t had a specific cognitive evaluation because “No one said I had to” and “they said I’m good.” And refused to take an independent cognitive evaluation because “I’ve already done it” because “I have a cognitive test every single day.” ABC host George Stephanopoulos asked, “Have you had a full neurological and cognitive evaluation?”
