Dalí wasn’t a rapist or a murderer, and Picasso may or may not have been a rapist (“women are machines for suffering” doesn’t look good , but his metoos are long ago) but definitely not a murderer, and of course we all know about Ted.

skeletors_condom posted:I personally believe there will be some sort of massive realignment of global society in the next 15-30 years. Something similar to the period 1910-1950 (conceptually if not practically). The internet was born in 1969; the information is arguably ~50 years old. I think it's reasonable to expect some sort massive period of change and instability soon. Every major historical transition (feudalism to enlightenment, enlightenment to industrialization) involved pretty radical changes (with changes in the last 250 years being particularly rapid), I don't see why things would be different with the information age. I could be wrong though, so who knows? I don't think you're wrong. Consider the economic shift moving the center of power from the US to China, a totalitarian state (We should all stop trading with that country, but we won't). Now consider the potential effects runaway climate change could have on China's wealth. How many of China's major cities are costal? Beijing is already blanketed in smog most of the year. And what happens when its breadbasket turns into a dustbowl due to poor agricultural management brought on by incompetent communist management? Sex disparity is also a problem in China thanks to outdated gender roles causing girls to be killed off. Historically, massive sex imbalance on either side has caused unrest - see woman's marches after bloody wars wipe out male populations. Then you've got the minorities which China is increasingly attempting to exterminate who will absolutely fight back if their backs are truly pushed up against a wall. China has survived thus far due to the economic success it has been able to deliver - often in spite of itself and at the expense of everyone else. What totalitarian state has managed to survive given a widely educated populace and a loss of faith in the government's ability to bring prosperity? Then you look at how Russia's getting handsy with its neighbors and the issues of wealth disparity and coming population drop that the First World has...it's not a good look. Might not be time to stock up on bullets, cigarettes, and canned food just yet but I'd certainly make sure my investment portfolio was well-diversified.

EmesiS posted:Was Picasso broken? Fun fact when Picasso saw military camouflage for the first time he thought it was the tightest poo poo, artistically speaking. Makes sense, since the whole point of cubism was to give the sense of something that was there without being a literal depiction of the thing. Early naval camouflage was done by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Wilkinson_(artist) this dude.

I can't speak about any specific development, but I find it hilarious that none of the western governments see any issue with a rising totalitarian state like China. They are just so deep into bullshit and corporate word salad, that I think they've in sense lost touch with reality. Same with most major business leaders. The silver lining (of sorts) here is when your leaders start believing their own BS, that leaves them vulnerable, at least in the medium to long term.

Every major historical transition (feudalism to enlightenment, enlightenment to industrialization) involved pretty radical changes (with changes in the last 250 years being particularly rapid), I don't see why things would be different with the information age. I could be wrong though, so who knows? It depends on technology, really. In particular to what degree energy becomes cheap and clean. The emergence of cheap/clean energy would completely reshape the global economy, which is still heavily dominated by various energy-related sectors: trading the raw materials for energy, commodities produced by expending energy or machinery related to energy production. If energy becomes a non-issue we'll see a completely unpredictable shift in power. However, if energy remains a limited resource, I think energy-related conflict is inevitable. Global regulation of fossil fuels, how various nations will approach nuclear energy, the control of various rare materials, the spread of energy efficiency technologies, etc. The internet has been a paradigm shift in communication and diffusion of ideas - and has paradoxically made the western world dumber, more intolerant and more unstable, even though information and knowledge has never been more readily available. However, I do think it will play a big role in allowing developing countries to attain better education and technological progress independent of patronage from developed countries. But, I don't think it will affect the internal power balance of the various nations that much. The same groups have power, but conflict and social unrest will be higher. Not cyberpunk dystopia levels of social conflict, but like social unrest in the eras you mentioned. Any empowering effect on the common people made by the internet is offset by the increased surveillance and control it grants the powers-that-be. I don't think it will shift power much in either direction apart from exceptional cases like China, where it's creating arguably the most powerful state the world has ever known (speaking of internal power, not geopolitically). But the internet has given us inexhaustible entertainment, and I'm eternally grateful to have learned of such cultural figureheads as pgabz, the epic tales of the stimpire and that avatar of post-modernism: AdzAdama.
