What is the ideal system in your opinion if America sucks so bad? Specifically political and economic organization for the country.

zoom is not used by business, microsoft 'teams' is used as it has a degree of security - i use it at work, zoom is for people with no budget

Ask @johnpilger to come on your pod, but he might think you are too far up yourselves to matter, who knows?

Go back to Soviet Union Yasha.

A lot of declarations from the guest without any followup explanations. “We’re perpetually stuck in 1960s counterculture.” Okay, how so? “The internet is totally a boomer medium.” Okay, how so? “Right to privacy is a product of privileged white suburbia.” But... privacy is also important... right? “What does the internet being a public utility even mean? PG&E was a public utility and it was corrupt.” Alright, what alternative would you propose to change the internet as it currently is?

I think he clearly has a lot of thoughts and felt he was talking to people who "get" where he's coming from - i.e. two also skeptical Russians - so didn't need to elaborate. Personally I was happy to take many of these points as provocations to think about further. Also I think the right to privacy as a product of white suburbia thing didn't need that much more elaboration - under the SU, individuals didn't expect privacy from the state. Most cultures worldwide even today are much more family-orientated and poorer than US suburbia so individuals don't get much privacy from their family members or members of their village etc either. Having the privacy of a house surrounded by a lawn with only your nuclear family inside and individual rooms for each family member is still a state of exceptionalism compared to rest of the world.

Zoom isn’t new it just taken over since it performs better than Skype by taking your computer hostage. My company has been using it for years.

There's nothing revelatory in pointing out that the ARPA and DARPA are part of the US military, but it's so misleading to then use that to suggest we're all prey to some vast government conspiracy by using the internet. These arguments sow a lot of unnecessary fear and nihilism

If possible, can you explain why/in which ways that is misleading?
