  • many for profit companies have done this before, however:

    Think about the incentive structure here, it incentivises not learning about bugs in the software. it incentivises as this always does, that those with money to swing around get additional explicit systemic power to dictate the features and bugs that get fixed. this is a bounty system with extra steps and not learning about bugs. and to boot, if a company really wants to pay, they can probably pay a dev of their own to work on many of these issues. it doesnt seem like this really solves any issues and just imposes a pay-to-speak system. ick.



  • “we have not seen anarchism at a [large scale]” this is extremely debatable, historcally speaking large communities have existed in pseudo anarchistic systsms off and on across the world. The general counter is to claim that hierarchal governance, especially the state, are variously metastable governance systems which outcompete anarchistic communities. But this is only historically supported inasmuch as they did “win out”, but that is not actually evidence that it’s the only metastable form of large scale governance.






  • optimism and hope are necessary in all scenarios, i dont know who rr is beyond this article but these are mostly fair things to be optimistic about. by optimism i do mean things that imply it’s not necessarily the worst case scenario, that this is perhaps a 2 and change regime and not a 70+ year regime, and that some responses to the horrors are working. Even more someof these things imply a civil war is not as likely as it might be, which is a massive win unless you are a bloodthirsty fool. Could you be more specific with your problems here?
