Wages Of Desperation? Or Systemic Self-Ignorance?

Commentary by Roger Erickson

Capitalists ask why there's a shortage of serfs? Newly educated citizens ask why there are no real jobs? Uh, 'cuz there's no real democracy?

Words fail me. This is the culmination of a Western Education? The pinnacle of the Reformation and Renaissance?

Where's Luther? Where's Rousseau? Where's Tom Hill?  Any culture that isn't palpably aware of it's own, distributed outcomes ... isn't a functioning culture!

Dead Culture Walking. Dead Culture Staggering. Dead Culture Stumbling. Dead Culture Shooting It's Own Foot (for rebellion). [No, shooting the brain doesn't work much better. The real brain is all of us. Just start employing all of it.]

Shoulda OpenSourced the comms infrastructure far earlier! Suicide isn't success.
