Chuck Darwin<p>Many technology companies would be more benign if they were owned and governed by their users. </p><p>Users have the most to lose from tech-driven addiction and automation, <br>and their data generate most of the companies’ value. </p><p>User-owners would share in this value and have an incentive to keep companies from causing harm.</p><p>❓How might users come together to start and run more technology companies?

Chuck Darwin<p>The root of the problem is that the United States and Silicon Valley in particular are dominated by what we call an <br>🆘 “investor monoculture.” </p><p>Modern corporations are designed to serve investors and no one else. </p><p>About 80% of public company stock in the United States is owned by institutional investors, <br>most of which have one objective: <br>to maximize profits, <br>largely in the short term and without regard to the costs for society. </p><p>In 1980, their share of stocks was just 29%.</p><p>Venture capital firms, <br>the biggest funders of Silicon Valley startups, <br>have grown from under $400 billion in assets in 2010 <br>to nearly $4 trillion today. </p><p>Their performance is measured by <br>“multiples on invested capital,” or “<a href="https://c.im/tags/MOIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MOIC</span></a>,” as insiders call it.</p><p>Suicide rates among young people are up more than 60% since 2007, <br>and U.S. democracy is in danger. <br>-- But these are not investors’ concerns.</p><p>Regulation and advocacy can certainly make a difference. </p><p>But Big Tech is cash-rich, lawyered up and capable of running circles around regulators.</p><p>It’s time for a different approach. </p><p>When businesses are owned and governed by employees, customers, suppliers or communities, they become less predatory <br>and more benign. </p><p>⭐️And as it turns out, corporations have been designed in such ways across time and cultures. </p><p>Capitalism comes in many forms.</p><p>❇️Farmers, employees or customers own and govern some of the world’s most respected companies, <br>including <br>Ocean Spray, <br>Publix Super Markets, <br>Organic Valley, <br>New York Life Insurance Co. and <br>Vanguard. </p><p>❇️Corporations such as Patagonia, <br>Rolex, <br>Novo Nordisk and <br>Ikea <br>are owned or controlled by nonprofits, trusts or foundations, <br>which have no investors <br>and thus face less pressure to boost profits.</p><p>Silicon Valley has examples too. </p><p>❇️Mozilla, which operates the web browser Firefox, <br>is owned by a nonprofit. </p><p>It has no incentive to maximize profits, <br>which explains why it does not sell user data to advertisers. </p><p>❇️Wikipedia, among the world’s most visited websites, is also run by a nonprofit, <br>which shows that scale and impact don’t always depend on investor capital.</p><p>❇️A nonprofit owns a majority of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, <br>a design it chose to “ensure that artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.” </p><p>But its minority investors, such as Microsoft, are profit-driven, <br>which has led to concerns that it’s releasing products at an irresponsible pace.</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Elon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag"

Chuck Darwin<p>Silicon Valley is maximizing profit at everyone’s expense. </p><p>It doesn’t have to be this way </p><p>A public battle has broken out among the titans of Silicon Valley. </p><p>🔸One side, led by <a href="https://c.im/tags/Elon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag"

target="_blank">#<span>Ben</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Horowitz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Horowitz</span></a>, <br>is backing Donald <a href="https://c.im/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> for president. </p><p>🔸The other, led by LinkedIn co-founder <a href="https://c.im/tags/Reid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reid</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hoffman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hoffman</span></a>, is behind Kamala <a href="https://c.im/tags/Harris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Harris</span></a>.</p><p>⚠️We should not make the mistake of thinking this is a battle over ideology or policy. </p><p>It’s a battle to ♦️maximize Silicon Valley’s profits regardless of the consequences for society.♦️</p><p>On this objective, both sides agree. </p><p>Andreessen Horowitz is one of the largest investors in <a href="https://c.im/tags/cryptocurrency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cryptocurrency</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/artificial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>artificial</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intelligence</span></a>, <br>and Trump has signaled that he would keep the government out of its business. </p><p>Meanwhile, soon after donating $7 million to a Harris super PAC, <br>Hoffman called for her to oust Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lina</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Khan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Khan</span></a>, <br>who has brought antitrust cases against Big Tech and introduced rules to protect workers.</p><p>Silicon Valley, a longtime engine of human achievement, <br>has become a significant source of human harm. </p><p>Aware of the gathering backlash, its leaders have dived into the political fray 💥to protect their wealth.💥</p><p>Two Silicon Valley obsessions threaten the most damage: <br>creating human <a href="https://c.im/tags/addiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>addiction</span></a> to increase profits <br>and <a href="https://c.im/tags/eliminating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eliminating</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> altogether to decrease costs.</p><p>Social media platforms, <br>which started out by bringing old friends together and giving voice to the otherwise powerless, <br>have become “social slot machines” <br>compelling excessive use. </p><p>Gaming companies have a similar objective. </p><p>Teenagers today spend more than eight hours a day on screens, <br>fueling digital advertising revenues that reached $225 billion last year.</p><p>Meanwhile, the artificial intelligence revolution promises to cut labor costs. </p><p>A recent study by MIT economist <a href="https://c.im/tags/Daron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Daron</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Acemoglu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Acemoglu</span></a> found that 50% to 70% of the growth in inequality between more and less educated workers can be attributed to automation. </p><p>Poverty rates in Silicon Valley’s home state are rising <br>even as AI makes Big Tech richer.</p><p>The broader prospects are equally concerning. </p><p>AI is enabling killer robots, autonomous weapons and massively destructive misinformation.</p><p><a

Chuck Darwin<p>Project 2025, the sweeping right-wing blueprint for a new kind of U.S. presidency, <br>would ♦️sabotage science-based policies♦️ that address <br>climate change, <br>the environment, <br>abortion, <br>health care access, <br>technology and <br>education. </p><p>It would impose <a href="https://c.im/tags/religious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religious</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/conservative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservative</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ideology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ideology</span></a> on the federal civil service <br>to such an extent that Republican presidential candidate Donald <a href="https://c.im/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> has, dubiously, <br>tried to distance himself from the plan. </p><p>But in 2022 Trump said the Heritage Foundation<br>—the think tank that authored Project 2025<br>—would “lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do.” </p><p>The project’s main document, a lengthy policy agenda, was published the following year.<br>Although Trump is not among its 34 authors, more than half are appointees and staff from his time as president; <br>the words “Trump” and “Trump Administration” appear 300 times in its pages. </p><p>At least 140 former Trump officials are involved in Project 2025, according to a CNN tally. <br>It’s reasonable to expect that a second Trump presidency would follow many of the project’s recommendations.</p><p>Project 2025 presents a long-standing conservative vision of a <a href="https://c.im/tags/smaller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smaller</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>government</span></a><br> and describes specific, detailed steps to achieve this goal.<br> It would shrink some federal departments and agencies while <a href="https://c.im/tags/eliminating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eliminating</span></a> others</p><p>—<a href="https://c.im/tags/dividing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dividing</span></a> the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into two weaker entities, for instance, <br>and <a href="https://c.im/tags/abolishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abolishing</span></a> the Department of Education (ED) entirely.</p><p>What is even more unusual, and also mapped out in detail, is a plan to exert more <a href="https://c.im/tags/presidential" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>presidential</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/control" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>control</span></a> over traditionally nonpartisan governmental workers<br>—those Trump might describe as members of the “deep state,” <br>or regulatory bureaucracy. </p><p>For example, Project 2025 claims that the the "National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration" <br>and other scientific institutions are <br>“vulnerable to obstructionism” <br>unless appointees at these agencies are<br> “wholly in sync” with presidential policy. </p><p>To that end, it would <a href="https://c.im/tags/reclassify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reclassify</span></a> tens of thousands of civil service jobs as political positions that answer to the president.</p><p>🔥“The independence of science is being attacked across the board in this document,” says Rachel Cleetus, <br>policy director of the Climate and Energy program at the nonpartisan Union of Concerned Scientists.</p><p> “The importance of this science is that’s how we can ensure people’s health and the environment are being safeguarded.” </p><p>(Cleetus notes that her comments address the policy agenda’s contents, not the upcoming presidential election.)</p><p>Career scientists who are now employed by the federal government are<br>💥 “terrified and polishing up their résumés,” says Jacqueline Simon, policy director of the "American Federation of Government Employees," or <a href="https://c.im/tags/AFGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AFGE</span></a>, <br>a union that represents workers at the National Institutes of Health, the Environmental Protection Agency, the CDC and other agencies. </p><p>If Project 2025 becomes reality, she says, <br>❌“the very idea of scientific integrity will be flushed down the toilet.” </p><p>The Heritage Foundation did not respond to Scientific American’s request for comment.</p><p><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/project-2025-plan-for-trump-presidency-has-far-reaching-threats-to-science/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">scientificamerican.com/article</span><span class="invisible">/project-2025-plan-for-trump-presidency-has-far-reaching-threats-to-science/</span></a></p>
