@robpike@hachyderm.io while I deeply agree, “lose” feels far too passive for this. This is an industry actively trying to sell it to anyone and everyone.

@petrillic@hachyderm.io @robpike@hachyderm.io The recent Timothy Snyder essay on "Superpower Suicide" was posted/re-posted a lot this weekend. "Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power, and succeeded with such rapidity." I hate to be susceptible to trying to make everything-look-like-everything-else but these two rots feel related if not foundationally then at least spiritually. https://snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpower-suicide
