I think this is anti-status quo bias, which for once is unjustified. Sure the world has many systemic problems, but to say that the MASSIVE efficiency gains the internet have brought us are for a minority seems like an insane claim. Just because capitalists have been claiming all the new excess value doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

To illustrate, consider: spreadsheets, video chat, shared documents, automated calendars, maps, autopilot assistants, CGI, I could go on… the world is not quite good enough that I’m ready to say that we don’t need more efficiency. Not everyone has a home on mars quite yet.
