i still don't know how to talk about this neatly, but i've long thought that the world stopped working as intended because it got too complex for people to reason about. it's kind of idiocracy~esque, but it's not just that people got dumber (although they definitely did): some combination of bureaucratic accretion and technological advancement have made the whole mess extremely opaque and illegible. democracy doesn't work when almost no one understands what's happening. add propaganda, and now average joe wants us to nuke the data centers. what a shit show i'm gonna go walk around in the woods ✌️
