Unless the fools wake up we will be stuck with this kind of crap.
"But to tear down a factory or to revolt against a government... is to attack effects rather than causes; and as long as the attack is upon effects only, no change is possible. The true system, the real system, is our present construction of systematic thought itself, rationality itself. And if a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a systematic government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves in the succeeding government..."
-Robert Pirsig, 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'
That book was a good read in my 20s. It might be time for me to reread it.
Just recently, It was a great joy for me to read again the works of Daniel Quinn, but this time as a ₿itcoiner.
His stories are even more interesting when viewed through Satoshi Shades.
Highly recommended for anyone who found Softwar worth reading. Daniel Quinn was a post-industrial tribal power projection maximalist even before the advent of ₿itcoin. It's curious!
The story of B and Ishmael especially made a lot of things clearer for me at the time.
