mircea_popescu: i vaguely remember the thing but i can't tell you which article
mircea_popescu: calling this mp is a gross misattribution, the idea's old and well discussed/accepted
mircea_popescu: basically the problem of all these idiots stems from the twin grasp of a) design is not a deliberate activity but "should arise naturally", like their delusional view of identity, love, hapiness et all ; b) 0 actual experience, entire life lived in the narrow constraints of for-play reality.

mircea_popescu: liably oppresses another; but that the entire system is based on creating a lack. This lack is not a bottomless hole that nothing could ever fill, but a tiny, strangely shaped divot in your soul into which nothing could ever fit: not money, not sex, not stuff, not relationships.

But of course her power is limited only to yelling, she is impotent against a troll who yells at her. But her mistake is in thinking he has the power. No one has it, the system doesn't allow it.

mircea_popescu: "Why would the The Economist's rich and powerful demo want to be ruled? Because they aren't powerful, only rich, all that time getting rich did not translate to any power, only the trappings of power. So they've postulated a fantasy power structure/NBA owners that explains why they can't enjoy their lives as they think they should-- to absolve themselves of the guilt they feel for having money/intellect/opportunities a
