Thatโ€™s also a good game I suppose. And thereโ€™s thematic overlap!

Relatedly, Iโ€™ve already informed my (white, US-born) spouse that moving to India might be our best option when weโ€™re old

I know multiple immigrant families whoโ€™ve decided to move older family members back to their home country (after theyโ€™ve lived here for decades) because senior care/assisted living is often much better and cheaper outside the US.

Iโ€™m at a @moreneighbors.org fundraiser thatโ€™s organized as a fun Mpls vs St. Paul comedy roast. Itโ€™s fun because the Mpls folks roast St Paul, and the St Paul peopleโ€ฆ also roast St Paul.

This is also why other networked goods (transportation, sewer & water lines) tend to be managed as public utilities. Hard for companies to profit when people donโ€™t value having additional connections, but need one reliable connection that goes to their house, regardless of how far from the hub.

The use-value of a technology and the stock market valuation of companies that sell/package that tech arenโ€™t the same thing imho. People may find talking to each other across distances very useful, and companies may still struggle to profit off that impulse. Often the case with networked goods!

There were some pretty clear use cases of network comms early on that were benefited by further infrastructure, rather than what weโ€™re seeing now (tons of investment in infra that didnโ€™t come out of how people were already seeking to use tech).

Iโ€™m not fully sure the analogy holds in this case (though your provocation is interesting and made me consider if it does). The internet had several precedents that were user-innovated, like switchboard operators sendings msgs to each other, & BBS systems built on telephone lines.

We threw a "our house is 100 years old" party last night and made a cake-and-gingerbread model of it.

(Great british bakeoff voice) This is their most ambitious bake to date
