So laptops are a great example of why Yarvin and his camp followers are dead wrong about autocracy being a great way to develop and provide technology, or anything else for that matter. But he's right that electoral democracy isn't much better.
Fortunately there are a range of other forms of collaborative decision-making (which may or may not be forms of democracy, depending on how you define it). Consensus, sociocracy, deliberative assembly, etc.
(3/?)
Every laptop is loaded to the gills with patents (the intellectual work of collective other).
I may be wrong about the exact numbers, but back in the day when IBM made think pads, there was 10,000 patents in each laptop.
In fact one of the reasons Lenovo was happy to pay the price for Think pads to IBM is because they also got the patents.
So, unsurprisingly #curtisyarvin is a dumb fascists shit that is dumb.
