“There is no logic to sadness when it comes to the greater good. Sadly, individual success and individual joy sells, like how people respond emotionally to stories of individual loss, grief and so on but don't always respond to actual figures and facts. That is how capitalism works and sustains, and how empathy was monetized by neoliberalism, and the reason why it got lost in conservative nationalism.”
Freek Lomme, Care Where No One Does: A Grassroots-style Guide to Progressive Cultural Production, Anticipating Neoliberal to National Conservative Times

“I could write an entire (tedious) book about why I think blockchain-based technologies are foolish at best and scams at worst, but it wouldn’t convince anyone in blockchainland of anything.”
Cory Doctorow, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation

“Any company more powerful than the government is a company the government won’t be able to hold to account—that’s the very definition of too big to jail.”
Cory Doctorow, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation

“People with good intentions feel left out within the neoliberal regime. Civil respectful worker being under or unpaid should be paid fair, artistic work appreciated being under or unpaid should be paid fair, working cultures should respect social values, need to listen to and learn from everyone.”
Freek Lomme, Care Where No One Does: A Grassroots-style Guide to Progressive Cultural Production, Anticipating Neoliberal to National Conservative Times

Cory Doctorow
“In my discussions with blockchain people, I’ve encountered a persistent pattern: first, they assume that if you disagree with them, it must be because you don’t understand them. If you manage to convince a blockchainist that you do understand them and that you still disagree with them, they assume you’re being paid to disagree with them.”
Cory Doctorow, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation
