As a European I work hard but do expect labour laws to be respected, if that's what you mean. Minimum of 22 days annual vacation (that I use 100% of), paid sick leave, 14 national holidays per year, etc.
These are not morally equivalent. The office-worker wants others to modify everyone's behaviour to support them, whereas the remote worker just wants to control their own behaviour. The remote worker is completely ambivalent to where others want to work.
This doesn't make it immune from criticism. What if the United States added "Caucasian state" to the constitution and started discriminating against other ethnicities. Would that be okay for you?
He does state that when (not if) we move beyond the current system, distributed ledgers will become a useful tool.
> I consider blockchain, and Ethereum-style mechanisms, as technologies that will prove extremely useful once private property in the means of production ends. But, on their own, these technologies will not liberate us from the extractive power of the few.
I got an occulus quest 2 (manufactured by meta) recently and it's a lot of fun. VR is not revolutionary but it's definitely going to make money for meta and others.
I seem to remember pornhub being hit by this, which is why they removed unverified content. Perhaps it's also why OnlyFans decided to ban explicit content a few months back (before backpedaling).
I'm not sure it really works like this. Suppose you've spent 10 years becoming a master java developer, and now all the investment is going into python. You're going to better than the boot-campers after 1 week and a master developer after 3 months, whereas the others will still need years to catch up.
I think it's worth keeping a loose working knowledge of all the mainstream software in your field, but don't really go deep until you need it.
I would love it for Europe and am sure that a lot of governments would too. France is openly pushing to get the startup scene going in their country, and Estonia is famous for its services to digital nomads.
