you didnt 'come' to that point. you never left that point. the actual might which made the medieval ages, was never dropped - property ownership and wealth. only, the method changed. back then the wealthier used more goons to overwhelm the poorer, now they use lawyers. the 'might makes right' tribal justice was much more just than the actual 'might makes right' justice of feudal power. at least, you could somehow win against a single person with the tribal law. with medieval might makes right, there is always another goon serving the lord who could smack you after you took one down.

except that the 'group' currently disenfranchised from society is around 95%. the only thing preventing what you speak of, is that most of them think that they have a place in the system, due to conditioning and brainwashing by media.

think like this :

the concept of property ownership, is already the very definition of feudal ownership - there is a certain point where ownership passes across the 'personal' small belongings to the point of being a domain. owning over a certain amount of land, owning over a certain amount of controlling share in some corporation that controls an important field of life (gsm, internet, tv) makes the holders practical feudal lords. they become de facto owners of a field of life/amenity/resource that the majority of public needs, and which can be used to herd the public accordingly.

actually, in the case of megacorporations, this passes the level of feudal small domain holder level and becomes a full fledged dukedom - commanding hundreds of thousands of people and immense variety and amount of resources across oceans.

and all of these are inherited. it is alright in opening stages of a capitalist economy, when there can be still competition because the wealth ownership has not consolidated yet, but in later stages, it becomes what we have now - a small minority holding vast swaths of activity in life collectively. and this gets inherited perpetually. at this point you de facto have an oligarchy, or a proto-aristocracy.

in the case of fascism, political control is commanded by someone supported by these. that person just becomes the emperor of the patricians in rome in a sense. and one stage later you transition to an aristocracy, with dukes, lords already established long ago, now just entitled and named.

table uses the term 'user experience' ....

thats the point you burn with a fiery desire to get on top of the table, pull out your johnson and piss around on the faces of all participants. ..............

you sit in front of a tv, you click the remote, you watch the channel. that's what tv is. there is no more 'experience' in it. neither does a person coming home from work and dinner want an 'experience' to come out of their tv. they just want to click and watch.

same goes for oses. 'user experience'. what ? i just want to click on my program, and use it. i dont want any 'experience' happening in between.

hell, even internet. i have been on internet since it got out of the hen (1993-94), i have been on the first wave on everything ranging from multiplayer games to irc to webmaster culture to mmos, i have been an overclocker, and let me tell you :

when im on internet, i use at most 10 websites, play the same game, use the same software to do development, use the same instant messengers....... you get the picture.

im not looking for any 'experience'.

if someone like me, who has been riding the wave of adoption in digital age is like that, figure the rest of the population.

but for some reason, companies cant let go of that 'experience' illusion they are embroiled in.

i wonder, whether there is ANY person, who gets up from in front of a computer or television or any other ramped-up gadget and says, 'wow, this was a great xyz gadget using EXPERIENCE' - in any meaning of the term.

the ultimate end of capitalism is aristocracy. through the process, you may pass through a period of fascism.

So that people can be charged for use of public restrooms depending on the excrement mass they release.

what the hell. lets just put it in streetspeak :

for charging people per ounce of shit. .............

there is no end to 'charging' in capitalism. everything is privatized so nothing will remain public, and then everything is charged so that some who control the means can make even more money.

its to the imbalance of 85% of population getting 15% of everything to 5% top of population getting 72% of everything in u.s. now.

http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/wealth.html

reduction of 'public' and increase of 'private' will just tip it more and more towards the ......... well not medieval serfdom, for sure. medieval serfs got 33% of all produce from the land by law. whereas lord got 33%. church the rest 33%. no medieval lord could dream of getting 72% like top 5% americans did, and no medieval serf would accept less than 33%. but americans, do.

of course, if you are not talking metaphorically.

china is the top creditor to u.s. still, despite dumping a lot of it, going to 1.13 trillion or so from 1.5+ trillion, after chinese finance minister or trade representative said 'u.s. dollar was worthless now'.

was anything of value was lost during this downtime ? I dont think such secret services have been serving their people's needs for a long time now.

reputation was there in fallout 3 too. however, it seems what you are saying is in terms of story-wise. its not necessarily a departure from the game because it takes place elsewhere. the gameplay of fallout 3 was preserved, and expanded upon.

It seems like everyone is wanting to ride a new 'tech wave' again like it was in the 90s, since what we have has become saturated and stale. But arent they exaggerating it, all of them going nutso and mobile in full force ? (does not only include linux - everyone)

Wont it probably be like pcs ? once they pass a certain hardware strength and software feature set, people will just skip on going on the 'next big thing'. like how endless legions of people has not upgraded their xp, or, how people just skip on upgrading their hardware since what they have is enough.

For some reason, people have an apathy to this kind of music when they are young. when older, its different.

you cannot do that to people, but you can do that to corporations. on internet, corporations are taking that for granted.

you are talking as if the two are two different parties. facebook's ancestor started as a university project to find saddam hussein through his social connections, and it still has connections to 'intelligence' services.

right to be forgotten exists in offline-world, and it did not cause any free speech issues. something which is personal information, is not something that is related to free speech. your ideas expressed, public posts made, public statements, discussions may be considered free speech. but, photographs of your son and daughter, can not.

what im i saying. taking this shit seriously : the real issue is google, facebook and similar going deprived of 2% of their annual income. that's the whole point of this anxiety.

well. we, the people dont give two shits about google or facebook's 2% annual income. they can lose it, and still sit pretty.

and, this does not have any kind of effect on the 90-100% of the rest of the internet, where content is created by small people or businesses - they are not making money selling people's personal information to megacorporations anyway. (ads are not relevant - small sites cant run all encompassing tracking networks like facebook )

and imagine that every game was like fallout 3, pirates !, simcity and so on.

you would have a game to pick depending on the mood you have at that time and day. sure, you couldnt take too much of simcity. but, you could switch to pirates !. or fallout 3. (even if it has narratives, its pretty much sandbox). or the other game 1, or 2, or 3 and so on.

instead, you are switching narratives today. like, books. you are always reading books, and you dont have the option of not reading a book.

there is Sid Meier's Pirates ! : Live the life ! remake of pirates. its by sid meier and his company, and its a very very good remake of the pirates. it even has some extra stuff like ball dancing and so on. its a very enjoyable game.

however, they stayed true to original in a lot of respects, so you can say that it is indeed a remake of original pirates, not a full fledged expansion on it. (like how fallout 3 ended up being a huge expansion of fallout 2 concept, due to the immense moddability )
