Agreed. And I think most of the anarchist-leaning folks I know would also agree.

I read it. I’ve been reading a lot of complex systems science lately, and it seems to have a lot of overlap, so perhaps it will stick a bit harder this time. Thanks :)

Thanks. I’ll try it, but I have zero faith it’ll stick this time 😅

Eh. That’s the difference between a complex system (politics) and a complicated system (the part of a human body where surgery is relevant). It’s easier to write a manual for a complicated system and have it be correct and valuable. Complex systems not so much, not lease because every context is different and local knowledge is extremely valuable. I agree that theory is often useful. I don’t think it always is though, and I think it can be misleading and wrong for a long time without anyone really noticing. I mean… Neoliberal economics also has a lot of theory…

I have multiple Iranian friends. No one in Iran other than religious fundamentalists liked Khamenei, or his government. But they also (justifiably) don’t trust the west. They feel trapped. Khamenei being removed is a problem not because he’s gone, but because he leaves a vacuum that might get filled with something worse.

Yeah, but so does just doing it. And talking to people about how to do it. The point isn’t that people shouldn’t read, it’s that the should do (and shouldn’t be prevented from doing because they can’t or won’t read).

The all theory and no action crowd are definitely more annoying and proficient at taking over spaces and killing the vibe, in my experience (e.g. socialist alternative here in Aus)

You can definitely explain most of those in a way a 5 year old could understand in under 20 minutes. Not dialectical materialism though. I’ve read about it and had it explained to me more time than I can count, and my brain refuses to hold on to what it means.

Those are all great books/stories. But they are all off the mark for the AI bubble. The book you wanna read is John Steinbeck’s The Grapes Of Wrath.
