The ur-gooner

massive fragile ego, frankly horrible, acting shitty, basic fucking table stakes

you come across as hostile

Go back to reddit

If you can take a moment to move your massive, fragile ego out of the way

Lmao do you think of yourself as a professional?

Or they pad it with a ton of absolute garbage

Yeah the thought process goes:

1. If you work hard, you'll succeed.
2. Billionaires must have worked hard to become billionaires.
3. Poor people must be lazy because if they worked hard they wouldn't be poor.
4. Give a hard worker a billion dollars and they'll keep working, because they're a hard worker.
5. Give a lazy person basic needs and why would they work again? They're lazy.

for leaving reddit pedantry behind.

We know there's no benefit to him here because a court forced him to go through with the purchase after he tried to back out. He did not want this mess.

Twitter doesn't generate profits:

Twitter has been operating at a massive loss for years, failing to book an annual profit since 2019 (Mauer, 2022). For eight out of the last ten years, the company has posted a loss.

If anyone wants to nitpick over the 2/10 years when they reported profitability, consider the real value of getting in the black twice in company history in an environment where you're gearing up for a an IPO. The long-term trend is clearly that this is not a viable business model.

We're talking about allocting scarce resources via cooperation, not competition. Whether you could make every organization completely flat (no managers) is tangential.

I see what you're getting at, though, and yes, of course we can allocate scarce resources by cooperation at a global scale. It already happens even in capitalist countries on issues of tremendous importance, see the negotiations around how water from the Colorado River is allocated.

Why not just say what you mean?

People share food all the time at work -- if there's a cake at an office party, you don't fight over who gets what. People share more important things at work, too, like a saw at a construction site or a printer in an office. Competion has its uses, but it's often destructive and wasteful.
