    Smartphones are making us unhealthy, miserable, antisocial, and less free. If we can’t yet nationalize the attention economy, maybe it’s time to abolish its primary tool — before it finishes abolishing us.

        Greed isn’t limited to any one economic system, I fear.

          There is no other economic system.

          And “greed” isn’t really the problem with capitalism. It’s more about the violent deprivation of human needs in order to exploit people for the extreme privilege of a tiny minority. Etc.

            If lemmy.ml could read this, they’d be very upset.

          Seems more like a power thing but I guess that’s greed too
