Home office and broadband does not necessarily protect you against

that they might foster it.
There's a fork pending in the world's line: in a world where everyone's
an enterpreneur, running on his own risk, and the world where the state
steps in, and saves people from fucking up their own life too badly.
Both can't co-exist, long-term.
Why not?
It's arbitrarily improbable for both these system extremes to have
the same fitness.
Aren't both systems less of extrems in the first place? And why
shouldn't systems be able to co-exist, maybe even complement each other?
