| summary | This text discusses an alternative perspective on politics, suggesting we should focus on how to organize political institutions to prevent bad or incompetent rulers from causing significant harm, rather than asking "Who should rule?" The author references Karl Popper's work, "The Open Society and Its Enemies." However, the tech press often fails to address these questions. Comparing this issue to a seemingly impossible demand for water that isn't wet, Cory Doctorow argues in his piece about Apple's capitulation, the pressure towards total control by a single vendor in technology (as seen with iPhones) is considered logically untenable. Doctorow encourages readers to connect behavioral patterns over time and geography to understand Apple's decisions better. |
