Loved the article, especially where you acknowledged the value of the internet, and how that had been somewhat negatively affected by business commuting skills and creativity to utility.
Makes a change from some of your previous tech-bashing articles claiming technology was the source of problems, when actially it isn’t, the problem is actually how business uses the internet.
You covered a lot of historical details I didn’t really know, but support what I know from an energy analysis point of view, thanks for that too.
I am hoping in part 2 you will distinguish two kinds of business, profit seeking, and non-profit (genuinely non profit, not just claiming to be non profit)
It all fits very neatly with future of work from an energy systems point of view (I am a systems Engineer), something I write about a lot.
Loved that you also described the function of money in the system, and how that has been abused by “Authorities”.
My money is on you describing next how that abuse is being overturned as we speak, for the future of work.
Thanks again for a great post, am really looking forward to part two.
