Maoist Pussy posted:dork enlightenment Societies, like bodies, ecologies, markets, and World of Warcraft, are adaptive systems. As such, they exhibit some degree of homeostasis: if conditions move in one direction, the system reacts to move it the other way. Note that this isn't a religious or mystical argument. The systems that don't exhibit this behavior either tear themselves apart in chaos, or freeze in stasis. In Jurassic Park, Ian Malcolm keeps saying of the dinosaurs, "Life finds a way," by which he means, "You fools! You can't have the hubris to think you can lock dinosaurs up as toys and not have them get out!" However, as we've seen, life may be able to get out of zoos, but it apparently has trouble with giant meteors kicking up dust and creating eternal night. Life finds a way, unless it doesn't. So why am I talking about dinosaurs. My point is that a small push in one direction can result in a larger reaction in the opposite direction. Welfare, meant to relieve poverty, worsens it. The hippy movement, meant to pull people away from materialism, gives rise to the 80's Me generation. Hitler's push for a strong Germany leads to a Germany split in two between two warring superpowers. When seatbelts became mandatory, accidents increased. The left does represent anarchy, chaos, etc. That's why it can only survive in a society where chaos is on the run, lest it be indexed, surveilled, taxed, paved, recorded. Only successful societies can support leftist movements.

EXTREME INSERTION posted:How did this happen. Look away for one second and everyone is some kind of gay hitler Most nerd culture basically breaks down to hardcore nazi-level bullshit. Tolkien freely admitted that his dwarves were supposed to be jews because they were cunning and covetous and lived in holes in the ground, and that's the basis of shitloads of fantasy poo poo. That undercurrent's always been there. It's just that now STEM-majors are also being told that their thoughts on philosophy and philology and politics are valid and important. I blame TED Talks.

Huh, what a lovely person. So this is the type of person that was high up in OWS? No wonder it collapsed. She's the type of person who talks about going to Galt's Gulch and how the world would truly lose out for her disappearance, but in actual fact we can get by fine with one less coder and she'd probably hate farming anyway, and slink back to her cushy job. tl:dr She sounds like she sucks.
