1776 on Nostr: On a long enough timeline, groups of humans that somehow escape tyranny eventually ...
On a long enough timeline, groups of humans that somehow escape tyranny eventually recreate the same extractive system they sought to escape in the first place. Human incentives in a resource and energy competitive system always lead to the same destination: some getting something (or getting something accomplished) for nothing, at others’ expense. “Show me the incentives, and I’ll show you the outcome.” I believe the saying goes.
