In #UK rather than a middle class..
There is increasingly a state-simp class: well paid cringe mid-wits : army guys, doctors, gov contractors, who are dumb enough to believe shit like quantum computing, nukes, c0vid, DNA is code ...

Metaphors are fine, but many are too dumb/egotistic to understand it is a metaphor.
There isn't a "gene that codes" for that.
Complexity not complicated.
Humans know nothing.
I grew up in the UK, and have many friends that would fall into this category
Life’s “working” for them
They get paid
They “like paying taxes” one said to me (and certainly don’t like people using companies or trusts as a way to be tax efficient)
It’s very similar to the Jesse Myers article “Why the yupee elite dismiss Bitcoin”
One said to me “public health policy is more important than individual choice” (and doesn’t see the link between privatised profits and socialised losses)
Whilst bring up the topic of inflation… and you go nowhere
Interesting times
I'll have to dig out that article.
Feels like full blown communism x1000, sometimes.
In UK you can work for a small company, have freedom and have to struggle... or... you work for state aligned companies/ services, get comfy pay, but have little freedom.
Those who describe the economy as fascist... ... where do these "independent companies" get their money, or, financial advantage from ?
So, how is that fascist?
It's just usurous bond fraud guilts funding communism a.k.a Noahidism
Apple, plantir, Lockheed, blackrock ... they are just rock n rolling welfare recipients
Re: skitzos that believe in nukes, c0vid, DNA....
When man creates a cybernetic feedback loop of creation, it looks like:
- the tech industry
- art history
- mechanical engineering
What isn't a cybernetic feedback loop of creation:
- skitzo ramblings of doctors
- skitzo ramblings of military
It pays well to be on the dole in Britain and worldwide since generations of fiat money.
My favourite evidence that it was already a widespread norm in 1982:
In this Shamanism book.
"The central point" is a recurring theme/ symbolism.
It's plausible this is a herding impulse, that is beneficial to survival, but then detrimental at a certain scale.
Perhaps, like WoT p2p has an inbuilt limitation
Centralisation has an in built limitation that just hasn't been formally discussed to the same degree.
