Creates a Time Machine to go back to 1988 and tell them do not create bash

It’s a good counterpoint on the book’s premise, but I think completely disagreeing with the potential for social media to cause mental harm is toxic and avoids a conversation worth engaging with. If we are going to give our kids social media or highly incentivizing games at a young age, we should be prepared for a generation that is completely dependent on artificial dopamine rushes.

Of course the science will have a hard time proving that when there’s hundreds of billions of dollars invested against finding substantial evidence to suggest social media and gaming can create toxic feedback loops.

Ah shit, here we go again

I think there’s a couple of market motivations to not make phones with replaceable batteries.

The first, most enticing is definitely gating repairs. Now that right-to-repair laws are picking up steam, that one is starting to fall apart.

The second one is minification, they want to make smaller phones, more lightweight phones, and unibody constructions make that goal easier. You have to incorporate seals and locking mechanisms on a battery door if you want to achieve the same level of water-resistance current unibody phones have. This one is also flimsy, they could design a smaller phone with these features if they wanted to put money into R&D for it, but they likely currently don’t care enough.

The last one is brand integrity. Apple specifically has a design language that many customers are familiar with, if they drastically change and break apart their design with big changes it could have an impact on how customers view the company. This one is probably the most ambiguous, I’m sure Apple has determined over 20 years the level of impact changing designs too much in a generation can have on their bottom line, they likely wouldn’t suffer much. Until this point there hasn’t been much motivation for them to do this.

Posturing. How many other nations can litter the moon with human remains?

"In '87, Huey released this ... Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is 'Hip to Be Square,' a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself."

The users, the business model, the people who think they’ll get away with their evil schemes

Not all shoes are so limited, you can buy shoes that have plenty of lifespan such as Brooks running shoes. I’ve put hundreds of miles on mine and they’re still in good shape. That being said with planned obsolescence and cheap manufacturing for fast turnover being prioritized, we end up with less reliable shoes.

Plus the other side MSNBC and CNN just feed people statements that are meant to make them upset, nervous and angry, all of the news media is hot garbage. I can’t stand any of it because it’s all blatant propaganda

If I recall correctly, Toyota’s Lean strategy was quite influential in operations management and continues to influence today. Six Sigma and Agile Scrum both have a lot of credit to give to Lean.
