Morgoth makes an interesting category error in the (otherwise excellent and well worth a watch) new video

(jack plz) nwioqeqkdf.blogspot .com/2021/04/the-nostalgia-of-futures-past.html

2/
at around 11 minutes in, Morgoth puts forward *the technology* as having frozen us in the perpetual past-future mix, by making the past content easily accessible.

close, but not quite. Image
3/
the past content is easily accessible *in contrast* to the current content - which is held down by #copyright.

it's no coincidence that the nostalgia is to content that's from 50...70 years past. Image
4/
old content is open to being used as inspiration and for remixing, while recent content is gatekept by the handful of large multimedia corpos.

the technology *added* to the problem - by making "Content ID" and similar abominations viable. Image
5/
is the problem huge and pressing? not quite, but it could use a neat solution - to rally good people around.

how do we solve it?

restore copyright to its original shorter duration. heck, even make it shorter - now that technology allows for quick manufacturing & distribution

liberal democracy strictly prohibits a community(*) from enforcing its own rules

(*) certain exceptions apply, obviously 🤡
2/
originally communities enforced their own rules. subsequently the state took over part, and then the whole of it,

ascribing itself the monopoly on violence. so far so good.
3/
however subsequently the state washed off its hands from enforcing certain rules that the communities want enforced --

-- and also prevents the communities from enforcing the rules on their own. monopoly on violence holds.

the sources of wokeism? let's examine :-)
2/
wokeness as we know it is a self-perpetuating structure. it is a memetic life form.
3/
there's some dispute whether to consider wokeness a free living organism or a cancer.

the more i dug into the article, the more the header image was *haunting*

#nospoilers beyond "the main show is the side show"

also, bonus points for mentioning 0HP 👍

i can only dream to maybe, somehow, reach 10% of @parallaxoptics' writing acumen: the complex emotions are conveyed in the plain, precise language and meticulous typography 👍

incidentally, who are Land and Jim, and where do i find their work?

can you prove *we* aren't a self-replicating vanguard probe?

but ran by memetic beings.

we're pretty good *substrate* for memes to live off of.
