  • Individuals choosing not to have kids should pay an extra tax that should go to the ones having children.

    Choosing not to have children is a perfecly acceptable individual choice, but the consequence is that you become a net negative for the economy.

    Taking on the burden of child-raising is an essential task that is net positive for the economy, which has been way underappreciated for too long.








  • This is one of the most interesting and fundemental discussions happening. Meta absolutely depends on being able to deliver targted ads towards users, it is a must for that business model.

    So in the end it seems fair to ask users either to pay for the service costs, or accept the directed advertising.

    What is even more interesting is what other ways this could work? How can a platform - in general, not just meta - provide a “free” service, without monetizing it with targeted advertising?

    Are we going to have to get all users to pay for every little service we use? Are we willing to do that to avoid advertising? To avoiding targeting?

    This outcome of this will be a lot more important than most people realise.
