I ([[User:Reversedragon|R.D.]]) am a bit obsessive about numbers. I had a problem with the idea of Items having small numbers that at the same time were arbitrary. What would be number 10?? What would be number 1??<br />
I considered making all the entries in this wiki take their IDs from the timestamp they were created at, but when Wikibase had no clear way of doing that and it was already installed, I decided it would be easier to do this instead: map out the first 3000-9000 Item entries to the best numbers I can think of, and then stop worrying. A little later, I'd go a step further and scrap Wikibase to make editing individual Items and downloading them as text files particularly easy in all browsers, and allow for Item identifiers to be as pronounceable as possible thanks to the ability to add commas or redirects inside the same namespace.

This is the first prototype of every Item in order. After this, I began to create specific [[Philosophical Research:Ontology namespace|"Ontology" Categories]] for particular fields and media series, and to create [[Help:Hue lists|hue list templates]] to more consistently display the same proposed Item across pages. This page will not use any of the later html-saving templates in order to preserve a more basic and manual version of the [[Help:Hue lists|hue list]] markup. However, some especially verbose sections of chapters, episodes, short stories, etc. have been moved to Ontology pages to make the list easier to navigate.

You should be warned that <strong>there may be a lot of particular <em>opinions</em> on this page</strong>. Whenever I wrote any idea down I poured out the first thoughts that came to my mind on it. I had no intention that any of these first-thoughts would be a permanent part of any of the Item pages that would not change. Some of them were meant as loose guidelines for further examining each thing and collecting research or analyses of them on their pages in a general way, but only really as a starting place. I've always had the rule that [[redlink|"angry" does not belong on Item pages]], thus I sometimes absolutely went off here to avoid it going there. Also, you are encouraged to create alternate prototype pages scrawled on Category pages or [[:User Spaces for Special Research|in connection with other thesis portals]] — the only major rules are that all prototype notes should be archived on an early revision of their corresponding Item page (whether they are deleted or superseded in later revisions, which is fully expected), and that when somebody actually establishes a block of useful concepts within the Ontology namespace you must build off what is already there while moving existing Items only when there is some relatively important reason another Item should be using that number. If an Item is on a prototype page and has not been properly created, then it is not an issue to move things around, but you should try to keep related blocks together.

Item status: <b>Wikibase set to be removed / Property data must be recovered first, then Wikibase extensions will be disabled / Ontology pages are now canonical Item pages</b><br />
Once the items on this page have been created, it will be natural for the names and purposes of the items to evolve somewhat over time, and there is no need for anyone to worry about whether the current set of items is "following" this prototype page. Items will become [[:Category:Ontology portals|grouped into specific topic-based Ontology pages]] such that following the list is less unwieldy, or [[:Category:Ontology entries by number|paginated numeric lists]] including the actual Items by template.

</li><li class="field_ML" data-tradition="MZ" value="618" data-dimension="S">model {{TTS|tts=versus|vs}} reality in Maoism / gap between model and reality in early Maoism / unicorns in early Maoism (meta-Marxist phrasing) / Fantasies in early Maoism (Lacanian phrasing) [https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-8/left-right.pdf]  ->  this is one of the ways that psychoanalysis sneaks in and tries to present itself as "more scientific" than Marxism. trying to paint the difference between model and reality as specifically psychological and individual when in reality a computer or a robot could do it, Gödel's incompleteness theorem showed us a system of mathematics could do it. there's nothing special about psychology or individuals that makes them uniquely open to judgement and punishment. errors come from any system which can't predict the near future. which means if psychoanalysis is saying you can't predict the future it should be in big trouble. it should be impossible to identify bad behaviors because you have no idea how to successfully correct them and no idea exactly when they'll happen or not. literally any attempt at a psychological intervention requires predicting the future or it should be totally moot.

</li><li class="field_ML" data-tradition="MZ" value="618" data-dimension="Z"><cite class="article">What are <q>left</q> and right errors?</cite> [https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-8/left-right.pdf]  ->  surprisingly long pamphlet. it should at least be able to define left and right errors though.
</li><li class="field_trotsky" value="618" data-dimension="S0">ultraleft error (Marxism) / left error (Marxism) / "left in form, right in essence" [https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-8/left-right.pdf]

</li><li class="field_gramsci" value="618" data-dimension="S0">adventurist error  ->  I guess this one can be strawberry because conceptually, you wonder if the CPC being highly developed and letting the country itself lag behind is some kind of "ahead" error. it would be a different kind of "ahead" error than this but you do have to ask why the central party is so far ahead of what's actually happening and yet somehow managed to succeed.
</li><li class="field_trotsky" data-tradition="ML onto ML, ML onto IV, etc" value="618" data-dimension="S0">dogmatist error
</li><li class="field_trotsky" data-tradition="ML onto IV, etc" value="618" data-dimension="S0">sectarian error
</li><li class="field_exstruct" data-tradition="ML onto ES" value="618" data-dimension="S0">revisionist error  ->  according to "[https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-8/left-right.pdf left-right]", revisionism is to go against the overall methods of Marxism especially by failing to identify the bourgeoisie, meaning that most revisionist errors sound a whole lot like Existentialist errors. so this one can be blue.
</li><li class="field_exstruct" data-tradition="ML onto ES/W" value="618" data-dimension="S0">reformist error  ->  it's going to be fun to take proposition entries and just, "case of - revisionist error" "case of - adventurist error". that's what's truly great about this ontology medium. or use these error categories as non-binary truth values, one or the other. god there are some moments when just, I feel smart. having this kind of ontology system for tagging errors is awesome. then there are the days where I am trying to make sense of news events all solely characterized by spontaneity and I feel infinitely stupid.
</li><li class="field_anarchy" data-tradition="ML onto A" value="618" data-dimension="S0">tailism  ->  a strangely anarchist-sounding error category. of course Trotskyists in Luxemburg's era and other movements can do it too.
</li><li class="field_gramsci" data-tradition="W, ES" value="618" data-dimension="S">electoral road to power  ->  I'm surprised to see the Black Panther Party did this. I was always told they were scary Bolsheviks who had to be contained to stop their violence. evidently not true.
</li><li class="field_ML" data-tradition="MZ" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Progress is what is materially accurate / The left position is the position that is materially accurate at a given point in time (Maoism) / Marxism is concrete analysis of concrete conditions (Lenin)  ->  yeah. only reasonable way to define it. a little vague compared with the meta-Marxist notion of actually detailing Social-Philosphical-Material Systems and material transitions from one set of structures to another, first in the abstract from historical data and then to be applied to real conditions, but definitely not wrong.<br />
I think you have to be careful with saying "concrete analysis of concrete conditions". it's correct if you mean that the internal parts of real events should be used to correct theory and should override abstract principles. but in some cases you are absolutely going to get revisionists claiming particular things {{em|are}} the concrete conditions when they aren't, and then reasoning off incorrect ideas of what is real or practical. I think it can be a lot more clear to invoke the concept of "physics" and say that Marxism is studying the physical processes of social connection which will break and crush anyone's idea of what is "concrete" if it's wrong. the top problem in the United States is flat-out people trying to redefine what's physical and real, and make Lived Experiences physical and words and prejudices physical and votes physical and make physical populations fake.

</li><li class="field_mdem" data-tradition="MX" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Many errors stem from vague Marxism / A lot of errors result from vague Marxism / A lot of errors occur because Marxists hand out theory which is inappropriately vague  ->  the hypothesis that immediately goes through my mind reading this pamphlet about "errors". every time the pamphlet describes Marxist methods for finding correct positions I can immediately imagine how even as {{em|I}} can understand it somebody would read the same sentence and get at least one kind of error out of it. I think this exposes a big problem in how dialectical materialism is communicated. we've made it way too easy to misunderstand.<br />
I think we need to start recategorizing kinds of errors in terms of actual material objects that make up ideologies or movements. "sectarianism" for instance could stay as it is because it already describes the [[E:shovel (meta-Marxism)|shovel]]: a party making ideology based on being a tiny sect and not understanding how it will scale up. other things like trying to categorize racism as ultraleft just plain don't make any sense. racism is the shovel dream of things like a graph only containing White people. the concept of left or right errors doesn't really adequately describe that.<br />
that said: there are definitely times when this statement isn't True. I already know there were times when somebody could have leveled this at Lenin only for Lenin to explain that nothing he was saying was vague and literally the revisionist just didn't understand it. so this is more of a "some occurrence" or "most of the time" statement than one that's flatly True.

</li><li class="field_geo" value="618" data-dimension="S2" data-submitter="RD">Surreal numbers are for counting countable infinities  ->  yeah. that's what they are. they're the same thing as Cantor laying out the countable infinities and showing you get different size infinities the more you curve the number line, only they use omega instead of infinity. a surreal number can count the number of decimal places in an irrational number. that's the one thing they're good for. the main reason we don't use them commonly is we just tend to avoid infinities rather than use them like numbers, so when we really have to use an infinity we grudgingly say "infinity". but if we did math just a little different, and used both curved number lines and straight ones at once, using surreal numbers (or maybe just irrational numbers?) to quantify the curvature of various arc coordinate systems from Euclidean geometry, then infinity would go away in favor of countable but unimaginably big or small surreal numbers. think of it like complex numbers or three-dimensional grids, but instead of just adding one dimensional axis through numbers, you're adding a curvature as a dimensional coordinate which warps the passage of points through the other two axes. I don't know if that's better as an axis or a number adjustment. I guess you could do it either way depending on what kind of problem you need curvature to solve.<br />
I mean, think about solving a simple geometry problem on the surface of the earth, but trying to calculate the real distance, so you get the total material to build a bridge or the total volume of a very big lake or something. that would benefit from a curvature coordinate system, where polar spherical coordinates over the whole earth could be overkill. the curvature grid would be confusing at first and yet better zoomed in on the relevant information. it also might be really nice for rendering virtual game worlds, because given at least a 2000s level computer it might optimize well - maybe.<br />
the kicker is when you get used to curvature coordinates, you could have some fun times with Newtonian gravity. set the individual curvature coordinates with appropriate curvature for each planet. look at the curvature coordinates. see if they form their own shape in some other coordinate system, or generally what they're doing. (probably re-expressing the gravity equation, but maybe it will make more sense this way.) slowly start solving small-scale gravity and figuring out how small it is. can the fine structure constant help you?

</li><li class="field_geo" value="618" data-dimension="S2">{{TTS|tts=General relativity|GR}} & quantum mechanics are both broken / General relativity is broken, not just quantum mechanics  ->  many people talk about physics like it's primarily quantum mechanics that's broken, and we're trying to fix quantum mechanics to match general relativity. what's often missed is that quantum mechanics and special relativity are fine together. quantum field theory won, and managed the crazy breakthrough of almost sort of unifying the two but not quite. and now neither general relativity nor quantum mechanics can accurately describe gravity or the connection between the quantum scale and the smallest scales of spacetime. neither theory is terrible <i>per se</i>; both begin from places of more or less describing reality at large scales. it's only the task of understanding the very smallest scale that both of them fail at.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" data-tradition="HAS" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Dualism is separating noumenon and phenomenon / The separation between noumenon and phenomenon is a kind of dualism  ->  this was said by a Christian bible college trying to basically show that the "simulation hypothesis" is not as true as God. but taken out of that context, it's surprisingly okay. the presenter mostly only presented it from the point of view of secular philosophy, only 'suggesting' that physical and mental is a dichotomy 'some people' use. (which 'some people' would then use to argue that souls and God are more real than math just because they [[:Category:Existentialist-Structuralist tradition ontology|can't be descriptively predicted]].) more than that, you can flip things around so that the physical is the noumenon and the mental is the phenomenon. math is in the mind along with souls and God and Narnia books and anarchism trying to predict the real world, but doesn't always have the correct prediction; the physical world itself behaves separately on its own regardless of what we want. seen that way, the Christian philosophers kind of have a point. "physicalism" can be seen as a mistake exactly when it mistakes math for real physical processes and assumes that physics is complete. in all other cases, it's not actually a problem.<br />
the Materialist analysis of society is another matter, where things get complicated. but if you're simply talking about physics? nah, Materialism covers all that just fine. the only real confusion occurs around relativity and how to apply relativity to everything including time and causality. the quest for the "true" general relativity gets confusing because events have to happen from the collision of two processes at some point, they can't be infinitely relative and never converge, and we know they converge, physicists are just very confused how; if they knew, they'd have unified quantum mechanics and smallest-scale relativity and gravity.

</li><li class="field_fantasy" value="618" data-dimension="S">fractal universe / Horton hears a hole (with regard to black holes; generic)  ->  the motif of a universe with a tiny portal in it and another universe contained inside the space of the tiny portal.
</li><li class="field_geo" value="618" data-dimension="S">fractal black hole / Horton hears a hole

</li><li class="field_geo" value="618" data-dimension="S2">If black holes contained universes they would not be black / If black holes contained universes then when a black hole blew tiny scales of space up huge, instead of gravitational lensing we would see small universes  ->  I had to think about this for a long time but today this finally hit me. gravitational lensing happens because bending spacetime enough will mess with quantum physics. that means it isn't just light that gets bent, it's {{em|everything smaller than a photon}}. but if the scale below photons could contain new universes, then presumably the teeny tiny photons inside the new universe would have at least some effect on the big universe we live in. maybe it's not quite correct to say we'd literally look into the black hole and see a snowglobe of stars and space - the stars would be small at least in appearance so they wouldn't be as easy to see - but that's still a decent fictitious analogy for what would happen, because {{em|some}} kind of signal would be able to pierce the inner region and show itself to the big universe, be it absurdly high-energy beams of light that wrap around to behave like big-universe photons, or something else. if the black hole had a universe inside it, it wouldn't behave as if dramatically warping space created one big void the rest of the universe simply bounced around as if nearly nothing existed inside it. universes contain a bunch of universe-stuff that behaves and that we can actually see through a telescope, or as rays of sunlight cross a few light-minutes to earth. if a black hole had room for that much physics inside it, it should not outwardly look like an object that could have been made by taking the tiniest region of a single universe far smaller than a grain of sand and [[E:Black holes are ordinary quantum foam stretched to the point it seems a billion years away|blowing it up to take billion-year distances for anything to happen]].<br />
I think I am saying that the black hole containing universe model is not sound against relativity. it's just not how special relativity goes. and, sure, it's probably the case that small-scale relativity is going on inside a black hole, but general relativity is supposed to calculate special relativity, not do something different. you haven't explained how why whenever physical objects exist they communicate with other physical objects nearest to them eventually given enough time, but the purported objects inside the black hole don't do that. you can't really invoke "well they're small" when gravity itself is really really small and the gravity process collides with everything given large enough distances.<br />
whenever I think about this black hole model now I cannot stop thinking about Horton Hears a Who. it's just Horton Hears a Who with universes. "Horton hears a hole" could be a name for the motif page about black hole universes. or a generalized fictitious notion of fractal universes.

</li><li class="field_fantasy" value="618" data-dimension="S2">All successful art practice is art / There is no art practice without actually creating the same art {{YouTube|QZhICtdBTPg}}  ->  yeah, I think that's true.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="S">frog protest {{YouTube|Ncacy4laqNE}} / straw hat protest {{YouTube|2kX6xDeEHs8}}<br />
non-narrative thinking + street protest = frog protest. (whatsisname the unlikeable guy) + street protest = frog protest.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="S2">ACAB is false because ICE is bastard-ier  ->  anarchism makes no sense to me. I actually looked at the news for maybe the second time in several months. I see "frog protests". which, okay, weird as it is I've at least heard of this, and it's about the first time I've seen Lacanianism actually say or do something smart. but also, how do you understand any of this shit. how do you actually "be a progressive" or predict what you're supposed to be doing if the point is none of it makes sense. a year ago people are protesting against cops and it's like acab acab acab never trust cops and then suddenly it comes time to "resist facism" which is supposedly the same thing and in practice one of the biggest allies are cops, apparently none of whom are bastards any more. we go around claiming everything is "a hierarchy" but people's position in the pecking order drastically changes every week based on what individual actions and Cultural Attitudes (alignment for or against specific inter-group conflicts) are deemed bad to where the framework doesn't make any sense.<br />
that said these few different recent events I've seen make at least a medium amount of sense from the point of view of dialectical materialism. people are grouping up into factions by repeated patterns, but the patterns don't line up into neatly-divided classes as much as these continuous columns or staircases of ranking that pick some very fine cutoff to suddenly split and turn on each other. pocketpair and nintendo, cops suddenly turning on ICE. the conflicts look more like a bunch of people of the same class or post (which is always somewhere just a bit above the actual 'little guy') teaming up against a single party that did One Very Bad Thing and because The Strata can't stand it not behaving exactly as expected and being built perfect, after a whole bunch of apathy or laughing at anyone screwed over by the problem up to then all The Strata abruptly come down on it and pound it into the shape of a perfect human being or maybe into oblivion. there's no real distinction between what's actually Right and Wrong or Good and Bad, it's just more like, you {{censor|piss}} off The Strata and they're all going to flatten you just because they don't like you.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" data-tradition="Aa, ES" value="618" data-dimension="S">what happened to our attention??? / {{TTS|tts=TimeEnergy|timenergy}} (motif)
</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="S2">The panopticon was invented by the internet {{YouTube|UTBkF3O6wC8}}  ->  it wasn't. it was invented by things like republicanism and widespread trade. have you tried, like, being in a particular physical place filled with people where all the people hate you because you're not being exactly what they want you to be? that existed before the internet, and it's the same on the internet as it's always been — it just goes faster.

</li><li class="field_fantasy" value="618" data-dimension="S" data-submitter="Valenoern">China? where is that?  ->  the motif of {{game|Pokémon}}, or theoretically some other series, referencing real-world locations which later become nonsensical once the world is better established.<br />
part of me thinks this would be really funny to twist around to comment on the idea that games made in the First World don't like to reference workers' states. China? Cuba? what are those, we just wanna play our dumb fantasy game and forget that they exist. oh what, they existed in the world and were erased? hmm.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" data-tradition="Fy, ES" value="618" data-dimension="S" data-submitter="Valenoern">normal world distorted by postmodernism / normal world wildly corrupted into unreal fantasy world by postmodernism  ->  pretty cool idea from RD. I half want to invoke it in Spaces_Mons; seems a little odd to bring into a mon game but also really conceptually funny. maybe there's a way to make it lighthearted and less "political", like how Chris D'Lacey wrote about the concept of climate change but abstracted it and attributed different imagined causes to it. through that angle there's a tiny chance it could work

</li><li class="field_ML" data-tradition="MX onto JC" value="618" data-dimension="S">Undertale and North Korea / the Underground is basically North Korea / Communist phoenixes ({{thingamajig|caps=y|Redacted}}Tale AU)  ->  the motif of comparing the Undertale setting to honest models of North Korea (not the pro-capitalist or pro-Tory ones) and pointing out that in some ways making this game was the only way to make United States people understand Third-World countries.

</li><li class="field_nations" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Any more stuff is decadence / Any more stuff is excess / Bringing in piles of Media Representation is excess  ->  the claim that capitalist growth bringing in ethnic or industrial diversity is inherently bad no matter which one it is because businesses have no need to get bigger and towns have no need to change. it's a little rare to see this claim in exactly this form because most of the time the biggest businesses in the United States far overshadow the smallest ones and can pretend to believe in diversity. at the local scale seeing this kind of claim is much more likely.<br />
this is one of the big reasons you want North Korea to have a Workers' Party of Korea. if North Korea wasn't a workers' state and it was just a small splinter country that believed in capitalism, it'd probably be pretty damn racist. it'd just be all about how much people hated the Japanese, and possibly why being an ill-developed country is inherently good. having a Workers' Party of Korea to nudge the country toward defining what progress is and working toward progress helps moderate that kind of effect. like, I'm gonna blow your mind. think about how in Undertale the monsters are killing human children to escape and there is this undertone if not quite outright plot point of them wanting revenge. [[E:Undertale and North Korea|if they had a "Workers' Party of Korea"]] they wouldn't be allowed to lean themselves toward revenge like that.

</li><li class="field_nations" data-tradition="MX onto PT" value="618" data-dimension="S">maladaptive self-determination  ->  the motif of a socially-linked group of people exercising genuine self-determination toward destructive ends that will only point them backward. I am convinced this is actually possible in a few limited cases. nothing else explains the former Confederate states properly.<br />
at the same time, it makes things terribly messy that this is possible. the United States already weaponizes this concept wildly against basically every country, claiming countries are corrupt purely to take control over them and benefit the United States, with only the {{em|side effect}} of sometimes benefiting the other countries.<br />
maladaptive self-determination + Any more stuff is excess = Prejudice is a form of freedom.

</li><li class="field_geo" data-tradition="STM" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Quantum field theory contains relativity  ->  one of those little cases of me writing myself a reminder of a fact because at the moment I wouldn't be able to prove this except by assuming relativity first and going "well all time is interactions so it has to be in there". whoever edits this Item later: please add a citation

</li><li class="field_geo" data-tradition="STM" value="618" data-dimension="S2">There is time dilation inside a black hole shooting the center far away from the surface  ->  doesn't specify what kind of black hole stuff is inside being stretched, only says that whatever is in there it's behind some billion year delay while the center is happening in a second. with what I know so far, I find this believable. there has to be {{em|some}} reason that only the surface of the black hole matters for its interactions. the concept that time could be wildly screwed up such that nearly no time is happening except at the center seems like it could definitely be a possibility to explain the holographic effect, or why an event horizon forms at all.

</li><li class="field_geo" data-tradition="STM" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Black holes are ordinary quantum foam stretched to the point it seems a billion years away (loop quantum gravity)  ->  my attempt to summarize a Planck star. sounds a lot like that string theory black hole, except it doesn't rely on mysterious strings and actually makes sense.

</li><li class="field_geo" data-tradition="STM" value="618" data-dimension="S2" data-submitter="RD">Circles, squares, and triangles are all secretly number lines  ->  having this is like the secret key to all of math. squares are when you fold up the axes of Euclidean geometry at neat right angles. triangles and convex polygons are normal Euclidean axes folded along the lines of modular arithmetic. circles are something very special. circles are when you take a number line and start folding it in absurd infinitely precise ways that require infinitesimals and their most famous subset, the irrational numbers, to explain.<br />
if you thought that {{book|Winning Ways}} making up a bunch of new numbers had no purpose, no. by one definition, numbers themselves are the root of all geometry and all coordinate systems which in turn affect all mathematical functions and how easy it is to express them.<br />
like. oh god. there exists a minimal shovel dream equation. it's the equation which makes a circle drawn onto a cone space or an arc drawn onto a globe look like a straight line. that's the simplest way to say it. the shape you stand on causes you to lose sight of exactly what your models of the world model

</li><li class="field_geo" data-tradition="STM" value="618" data-dimension="S2" data-submitter="RD">Curvature makes integers into infinities / Curvature is the transformation of integers into infinities  ->  sometimes I just stand around and think about pi. ever done that? pi is irrational. pi is the multiplier between rational and irrational quantities. technically any number of irrational numbers have that same purpose of being multipliers or conversion factors as well as numbers. why? why is pi actually in formulas instead of just some crazy number mathematicians made up while putting together Dedekind cuts and comparing sets of numbers? today I think I kind of figured it out, maybe. characteristics of pi: pi can be expressed as an infinite sum. because it's possible to express as a decimal, it can be taken as this quantity or multiplier that as you zoom in gets more and more precise and so it adds on another tiny measurement again and again. a circle is like a polygon with infinite sides. you can use an integral to approximate and calculate the perimeter of a circle. (although to be quite honest I don't know what the integral is off the top of my head. I have this wonderful intuition for math objects but I am terrible at actual equations unless they transcribe what I was already imagining.) okay. so when you set up some kind of integral to calculate the perimeter of the circle and spit out pi, "dx" is an infinitesimal-object or operator {{em|thing}} that is acting like an infinitely divisible number. dx is an infinitesimal maker. it's clear the moment you create that integral that there is something a little odd about circles. you can't calculate around a circle normally using Euclidean geometry, and it somewhat takes infinite sums or "dx" to get you all the way around the circle by adding all those teeny tiny infinitely precise measurements.<br />
now here's the crazy thing that blew my mind today. Cantor illustrated the difference between infinities by drawing a straight number line, and then drawing a curve against it that contained more numbers. and that blew me away. it sounds silly that something like that would be a mathematics breakthrough ({{TTS|html=abbr|tts=circa|c.}} 1872) but no, it is. it shows that curvature itself is a departure from integer mathematics. a simple Cartesian plane with integer axes doesn't contain the numbers that make a circle; all circles are non-Euclidean.<br />
so... is it really so weird to say that a black hole contains infinities? what if the black hole really does contain infinities, but only because we were trying to make infinities cooler and more mysterious than they actually were? I mean, you look at the thing, and the outside of it aside from the burning disk of stuff is one big 3d circle — despite that being true of stars and planets, but those do also have gravity. what if gravity is just lines turning into circles, and it creates infinities in equations because circles and ellipses are infinities? maybe spacetime curvature really is an infinity, but it's always an infinity, because every time you bow a straight line into a curve it contains something small but infinite, an infinitesimal. in principle there's an irrational number or a repeating infinitesimal between every line and every curved path, including the curved path that bows an apple and the earth together. if gravity was a perfect circle pi would be the bridge to gravity. it is already infinitely long.

it can be argued that the motif of "bioempire" exists in Buddhism, though from what I know, I think it may be missing the concept that {{em|linking individuals together}} results in "unhealthy attachments" as opposed to them somehow existing specifically inside individuals. if I'm wrong about that you can totally put this in the motifs section of a Buddhist text without putting it in the "subjective motifs" area.

Community and positive feedback loops fit together like a hand in a glove, while negative feedback loops are often anathema to Community and shrugged off as "authoritarian". socioempire contains like, individual empire, "subjectivoempire", I wish I could think of a good word for it... bioempire.<br />
the more I think about this the more I think Communism almost needs to be renamed. instead of socialism we should be talking about "asocialism" or something. the process where people learn to live in peaceful groups almost exactly like today's societies without those groups being formed out of inherent social instincts that can lead people toward prejudice and uncontrollable destruction.

I found an actual instance in youtube comments of a Native American clearly not understanding the concept of history. it's real. the thing I didn't want to believe was real is real. so what now? I guess it's critical we teach everyone what history is, and that it's possible for groups of people to have different numbers of centuries stacked on top of them. some centuries full of a lot of senseless division and fighting, some containing progress. here's the problem with Josh. he's the product of like seven to fifteen centuries. where inside all those generations hundreds and hundreds of people all interacting with each other reterministically caused or forcibly changed each other's behavior. at every step in those centuries people were constantly holding each other in toxic relationships just to prevent crimes and wars. you know, in "The System". the purpose of The System is always to head off violence and make sure it doesn't happen today, so whenever you threaten to escape it people get terrified because they don't understand where crimes come from and they simply want to smash all crimes as fast as possible. next thing you know, a bunch of Christians hopelessly beaten into always following social rules just so people are "nice" and "not violent" have to move out of Europe so they don't commit huge violence against other Christians, but have no power to not commit violence against other groups of people because they don't realize Community is the thing that causes violence, not what stops it. at the same time this is happening, all kinds of other developments occur in society like technology and philosophy and scientific models, all on top of the basic conditions: group divisions, inability to control other chunks of people, adaptation to senseless fierce competition over the same things, and superstition about what crimes and peace and nonviolence and society and growth and internationalism and hope are.<br />

</li><li class="field_gramsci" data-tradition="DX" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Filling Vietnam with factories will eventually create proletarian consciousness {{YouTube|HAEgTPK-oiU}}  ->  this is like. a quintessential admission that the biggest problem Marxism faces is there is hardly ever actually "a proletariat" in the sense Marx observed in Germany, and the proletariat {{em|and the proletarian revolution}} only form after you create a workers' state. apparently having used Leninist revolution to defeat something other than capitalism. we all know "the pain of capitalism" and yet we don't actually live in capitalism.<br />
with China, it's pretty obvious why this is: China was still a feudal order at the time of Maoism, so saying that Maoism defeated something other than capitalism totally checks out. likewise, North Korea didn't defeat capitalism, it defeated slavery. I'm not sure exactly what Vietnam defeated. looks like... [https://alphahistory.com/vietnamwar/august-revolution/ a client state with a puppet government]? huh. and in a weird turn of events Imperial Japan was expelled from Vietnam just because World War II was going on and First World countries hated each other. that reveals a lot about how the First World conceptualizes history — Communism is not okay because the normal course of Vietnamese history is the United States dropping a nuclear bomb on Japan and burning civilians to cinders. this makes the whole uproar about 9/11 make so much less sense when we basically saved Vietnam with a gigantic act of terrorism.<br />
so, Deng Xiaoping Thought conceptualizes proletarian revolution differently from mainstream Marxism-Leninism, but not necessarily in a sense that's wrong. it embraces Marxism-Leninism on the point that societies have to become conscious of their current structure and take control of it to defeat it — which happened. then it claims that proletarian revolution, in the broadest sense of society churning over into a truly proletarian economic structure that spits out a proletarian superstructure, is way in the future and Marxism hasn't actually been about the proletariat... "yet". this becomes a little bit of an absurdity in the context of the United States, where the country can develop for 200 years and become highly developed and one of the most privileged countries on earth and yet end up with no proletariat in a lot of places, the proletariat having been this transient phenomenon while hiring and firing and changing jobs is one of the most enduring processes along with new tiny businesses constantly cropping up and businesses of all sizes decaying away into nothing. it's like, has the proletariat ever existed anywhere? or have we gotten all of this stuff about the proletariat wrong? I think there's a case for that, that we've attributed a bunch of stuff to the proletariat that is actually due to a bunch of other more complex processes that Lenin somehow navigated correctly without bothering to explain. so, there are different models of Marxism. there is "Marxism-Stalinism" (thanks [[E:The Excessive Subject (Rothenberg 2010)|Rothenberg]]), there is Marxism-Dengism, and there are possibly others. there may be a Marxism-Trotskyism that somehow no Trotskyist has actually discovered yet but would become a theory if they all turned around and realized that they were promoting division instead of unity and the destruction of Communist Internationals instead of the creation of a meta-Marxist type International containing all viable Marxisms. it's not entirely clear yet how many valid but unappreciated variants of Marxism there are.

</li><li class="field_ML" data-tradition="ML" value="618" data-dimension="F2">Nations have a single societal consciousness {{YouTube|HAEgTPK-oiU}} / National populations have a single shovel dream, rather than subpopulations being truly separate entities with separate shovel dreams and transitions  ->  Hyper-Materialism in the time of Marx, which apparently had a fatal flaw of not being pluralized. this has not been true since Trotsky. ever since the Trotskyite conspiracy failed catastrophically at "fixing" Leninism it's been clear that "social being vs social consciousness" is slightly more complicated than we thought it was. definitely not in the sense Western-Marxists try to say, with "The Subject" being somehow special, etc. instead, the big problem is simply that societies are not amorphous lumps and whenever the fine particles of society divide off into separate chunks, which can happen at any time, the chunks have their own shovel dreams. to truly take the correct actions, dividing chunks must realize that they are separate, what shape they are in now, what they are transitioning into, and how that transition differs from the transition of other chunks. Trotskyists could not figure this out and tried to operate from the model that society has a single consciousness and it needs to all become Trotskyist, rather than that Trotskyists are a new tiny society that suddenly sheared off from the main society. it was equally dangerous for the CPSU to not realize that Trotskyites were not necessarily ready to be squashed into the main population. Bolshevism faces a thorny contradiction: capitalism is the division of society into arbitrary competing chunks, nations are the division of humanity into arbitrary competing chunks, humanity must be unified to get rid of class rule and prejudice, humanity cannot be unified all at once, the presence of division threatens to destroy Bolshevism, forced unification threatens to become colonial prejudice against nationalities, the "ideal" position is clearly to get upset at Communists for locking down around separate countries but not let them do anything to create a Third International and unify countries together, shattering every part of Communism. of course, all you have to do to fix this is realize that in the grand scheme of things small chunks are similar to big chunks. if Stalin isn't allowed to promote socialism in one country then Trotsky isn't allowed to create a second party. inversely, if Trotsky wants to be allowed to organize people for Trotskyism what he should do is allow Stalin's government to create their party and attempt to join together with them as a parallel Marxism so each of them will be stronger. each one doing different things internally but united on the outside. it kills me that the Soviet Union can exist as 14 parallel populations and nobody ever thinks of this. even if Trotskyism feels like the point of it is to act on huge scales it could still focus its energy on operating in the areas that glue "Stalinist" countries together. this is the way Leninist parties function. they are things put together into a whole, not an adversarial process. this is one of the only things that remains when a country transitions to Deng Xiaoping Thought giving it continuity back to Leninism that makes it just barely admissible as "a Marxism" even if its status as Leninism/Bolshevism is dubious or void.<br />
so, yeah. the big problem with Communist Internationals is that they have to start from teeny scales deep inside populations and go up to the international scale, because the true place humanity gets divided is the messy continuous divisions that can occur inside borders as well as at them. this poses problems for "revolution" when the teeny tiny splinter populations that spontaneously form every so often can easily be useless to nationwide movements and yet if a revolution goes through and you want to keep what you have, they really have to be accounted for or you have no way of stopping populations from fracturing into nothing all over again.

this issue is step zero toward getting Existentialism or anarchism to ever, ever succeed. forget meta-Marxism and finding the best Marxism — if you want anarchism to not be wiped off the face of the earth under the boot of a bunch of nazis you need to understand this. most signs of humanity being "kind" or "communitarian" or "social" are false signs. "community" as most people define it is a double-edged sword that also cuts people to pieces. commu-nity doesn't work. unless, of course, you want to give it a different, more narrow definition.<br />
the upshot of this is that it makes articles like the type specimen for "Existentialist inspiration porn" easier to intuitively identify as dubious. do you really know people coming together to fund a hospital is a good sign that people will continue to cooperate on things that aren't terribly basic, rather than shearing apart?

(I don't know if species, genus, or family is more appropriate, so I guess taxon will do.) this means that Digimon are canon to one particular Monster Hunter continuity, although not necessarily to the rest of them, and in a sense a little stronger than simply "they appeared in Smash Bros". this goes beyond simple arguments about canon-facts of fictional universes to become very interesting in terms of proposition-based logic. the answer to "Is Digimon canon to Monster Hunter?" can't be false, because Digimon have been genuinely integrated into the Monster Hunter setting, but it can't be true, because they wouldn't be expected to appear in every Monster Hunter continuity. so the answer to that question has to be a non-binary truth value which is somewhere in between true and false.

I think the answer tells us a lot about ideologies and whether people will be able to accept new models of how societies work. and not just new Bauplans of mainstream Marxism-Leninism or Kropotkinism or Deng Xiaoping Thought, but fundamentally, inner mental models of things like Menshevism and anti-racism and any change in society whatsoever. but funny enough, I think you begin fixing all that if you get mainstream Marxist-Leninists to coexist with Trotskyists, because the exact same basic difference between inner universes is manifest there.

this actually explains why people respond so badly to unreadable people. they really want the ability to exert their will, and whenever they can't, they feel controlled. they have a garbled reading of the situation, of course. if two people are behaving seemingly randomly, neither one actually has any control over the other.

Liberal-republicanism usually assumes that people voting for a candidate they don't hate has the power to make other people support the new candidate. but if it's really true that people voting for a bad candidate has more effect, then for most people in the United States voting and talking about voting are simply a waste of time. five people in each U.S. state, ideally news reporters who are absolutely obsessed with negative consequences of candidates and allegiances to each candidate, would be able to calculate the best candidate based on what candidate would cause the most dissatisfaction among people who think that candidate is good. this is... a bizarrely Trotskyist interpretation of Liberal-republicanism. although Trotskyists don't typically go around saying that the best strategy to drum up support for Trotskyism is intentionally "installin'" Stalin, the pattern of claiming that one news reporter knows exactly what candidates should get the position based on all the people that don't like them is familiar. it almost, but not quite, provides an interesting insight. people in the United States genuinely [[E:Democracy for Realists|"un-vote" rather than "vote"]]. they "un-vote" for candidates they didn't like, but they don't truly vote for candidates because they like them, it's more like they vote just so they have something to take back. just so they can persuade themselves they have something to take back as punishment when they aren't happy. when the system has never actually been designed to accommodate that. it's always been designed so that voting is like paying for something and signing a set of terms and conditions, where you always pay a cost unless you could simply not buy and use the thing at all. (this is actually a problem with products sometimes, too. the inability to "negative-buy" something can keep products consistently unsatisfactory for a long time the more complicated and service-like and mired in exclusive deals the "product" gets.) not voting doesn't actually serve this purpose, because it doesn't counter the actions of all the people who voted for something when they shouldn't have. there isn't actually a form of voting which allows people to express "I really don't want this president" after the president is elected. approval rating doesn't do anything. there has to be a real threat of removing the president if people anti-vote hard enough.

this thing is one of the single thorniest issues when it comes to getting First World people to actually understand dialectical materialism. many people are horrified by the prospect of a North Korea point existing even in clear-cut instances when the people who are actually in the situation are accepting it. many people act as useful idiots saying a North Korea point is "unacceptable" and thus programming everybody that doesn't understand this concept with their existing anticommunism rather than getting them to actually turn around and question anticommunism.

I guess, about putting it in passive voice and making it almost overly formal. like narrator-Gaster said it. "<b class="caps">We approach its realization.

Lived Experience theories are noumenological. within science, some cases of noumenology neatly unify with phenomenological descriptions of an interior process culminating in a new accepted model. one case of this would be the period of physicists constructing quantum mechanics from various confusing observations and then eventually being able to show that quantum mechanics "most likely" is able to evaluate upward to larger-scale phenomena in almost every case but gravity.<br />

I think what this reveals is that when people do observational studies to try to capture Lived Experiences they are misusing the concept of phenomenology. what they're really trying to do is more like "noumenology". they're trying to get at something which is inside which isn't the outer phenomenon people usually see. people are weird. in some senses you actually know what the hidden variables are inside the outer envelope of the particle. in other senses it's not usually practical to try to learn them most of the time. you have to do this weird thing of metagaming phenomenology to strategically decide what scale of model to use with how much fuzziness and "unpredictability".

I wonder, could you burn things up by trying to poke the proton with a stick? would the acceleration be that bad? or would it just fly backward like a normal atom? we're assuming it has the mass of a proton, so when it's impossibly big it would probably be able to float in some substances, maybe even in air because that is a ridiculous density. it's also true that a proton can be a normal atom — a hydrogen ion. so you might think of it as just a huge gas molecule. could you pick it up with a magnet?

a "relativistic Marxism" is in contradiction with the concept of a molecular Marxism. one resembles special relativity in being made from tiny reterministic pieces accelerating past each other that must stack up to history but do not have the ability to see or measure each other until they do, the other resembles quantum mechanics in being made from miscellaneous individuals assembling into shared consistent structures that assemble into bigger structures much like quarks assemble into protons that assemble into atoms. the sticky thing is in getting everyone angled toward RDem to work together with everyone hypothetically angled toward MDem. it's weirdly like humans really are giant particles somehow and the day we crack Marxism and the day we unify special relativity and quantum mechanics into some new "general quantum" theory will come right next to each other. spacetime and history are not as different as we want to believe, and may just be the same kind of thing at different scales.<br />

I think that in some sense, yes, particles have to complete some kind of journey from reference frame A to reference frame B to be physical. and my long shot guess of how is that we make some kind of mistake in thinking that all the tiny reference frames can be put onto any single grid that's just one big warped sheet of spacetime instead of assuming the whole universe is more like one big ball of sand where all the grains are the reference frames. the divisions between the grains could be something of a mathematical artifact more than physical, a consequence of the joining of various grains to stretch and compact spacetime being the only thing in the universe that's truly unpredictable, a consequence of the one tiny gap between reality and mathematics that will never be crossed. even so I don't think that means we can't learn what gravity is. we can see it at larger emergent levels, so, assuming the borders between these reference frame grains were producing gravity, you'd solve the problem by making a probabilistic model kind of like how physicists papered over the difficulty of observing fundamental particles in quantum mechanics. I think a model of gravity as good as quantum mechanics is possible, even if it could be the case gravity is one of the few things so small we really cannot measure it and can really only calculate it backward calculus-style by measuring its effects. maybe penteract space and sand-grain reference frames are nonsense, but here's the most reasonable thing I'll say: I think there will one day be a small-scale model of gravity.

interesting to note: anarchists don't really talk about "means of production" in this same sense. Lenin did, assigning a different owner to them than Western-Marxists, but anarchists don't. anarchists frequently talk about peasant life or tribal populations or some imaginary Kropotkinist city which is holistic but they don't really fixate on the concept of corporate or government social structures as they exist in Liberal republics and rearranging those exact structures to create something better. that seems to be a major divide between anarchists and Existentialists.

it often feels like the only way to strike at the root of it is to actually tell people, no, we have too many things, too many distinct individual things versus quantities of those things, you don't inherently deserve to create something, and if you agree not to create something new we don't inherently need you going to college — unless you already have a very specific trade to do and you know exactly what training is required. no, you're not inherently virtuous for doing more labor on something or getting more training. no, you're not inherently making the world better by creating a small business for people to give money to, you're exacerbating the problem of millions and millions of businesses constantly trying to drain people's attention. no, giving businesses a human face is not inherently good, because the more people can see a human face the more they'll want you to be absolutely perfect and try to get rid of you the moment you're not, and trust me, it will only hurt more if you're an Artist or the more you've put passion into it. you want to be faceless. the point of sociality is to make the individual faceless. to remove the individual from competition with other free-floating entities. you don't want parts of society and individuals to be the same thing. individuals eat and occupy space and hurt each other when they're starving and hold up guns. you don't want societal compartments doing that. society will always evolve. the act of doing labor will always actually pile up into the creation of new things like corporate studios that replace old things like artisanal practices. nobody wants to understand that for some reason, and the result is a million businesses constantly vying for everyone's attention with more opening every day and no end in sight. it seems like every time somebody gets upset at capitalism and is like "why is capitalism controlling me and stealing my attention" they go open another business and make the problem worse.

Work is stealing. Every act of working is stealing. Whenever you perform labor on anything you are always stealing the opportunity for someone else judiciously wielding their "non-narrative thinking" in order to believe in themselves to have done it better. White people steal from Black people all the time by working and telling them "you couldn't have done that thing as well as me, so you don't deserve a house loan, now get out of here". White people steal from Chinese people by trying to claim they can't take ownership of the patents and schematics other countries are making them produce. White people and Japanese people stole from Koreans by insisting there be a South Korea just so it could be part of UnitedStatesKoreaJapan instead of part of Korea. White people steal from Cubans by denying them the same trade routes they demand that other countries create just to stay standing and {{em|not}} get stolen. Nothing about the concept of stealing actually makes any sense. People complain about stealing existing and some group of people supposedly having stolen something when they feel like two groups of people are not forming relationships correctly and engaging in the exact same set of cultural rules and want to mark one of the groups of people as "cheating" at the act of forming into a single set of rules correctly. The concept of stealing was invented by Existentialist-Structuralist anarchologists. or at least, looking at the structure of the logic it'd seem that way. if you want to predict whether somebody will actually consider something to be "stealing" it's best to cross out all instances of that word and see if you can describe it with the word "cheating". as much as the concept of "cheating" is also subjective it does get at the slippery reasons that people actually reject things. nobody actually cares if you do or don't "own" an essay, as the world is cruel and nobody cares about the state of people successfully owning usable businesses or houses or not; what gets rules sheets and professors so weirdly furious about "plagiarism" is that it's cheating at the established system of ranking up within academia relative to a cloud of other living breathing people who are also trying to rank up and not get removed. every act of trying to do anything "honestly" is actually an act of trying to socially fit into a cloud of thousands of competing people who are all constantly individually judging you.<br />
and deep down, that really scares me. I always feel like no matter how hard I try at anything there's going to be some reason people will decide I'm not honest just because whenever I try anything I tend to reach a point where I am just too bad at some required part of doing a thing and I won't be able to do it "good" in a way that will make it intuitively feel "genuine" to them. maybe I try to make a video but I make it as a talk instead of a visual presentation, and I just know some people are going to hate it because it's a slideshow or an audio file or because I don't have any budget to spend on stock footage and I would have to doodle the slides or find images I have reason to believe are not special and meant to be used. maybe I try to write a book and discuss scientific thinking but I half know people are going to hate it because I don't truly know all the quantum mechanics math and I've been {{censor||bullshitt|ing}} my way around it with simpler math objects and a firm cage of well-checked propositions as I learn the good stuff slowly. maybe I try to create fiction but I know people are going to hate it because as much as I have really poured feeling and thought into it after however many years of trying I will not have become inherently good at Representing the Plurality of All Lived Experiences And Walks Of Life And How They Are All Inherently Relatable To Each Other On An Intuitive Level Without Science. maybe I try to build a proposition encyclopedia here but I know that if I have any fun with it people are going to hate it for a while until the day I make everything absolutely meta-ontologically sound so that all the Item pages are immediately comprehensible to people of every version of Marxism and also every bourgeois philosophy. and I'm naturally {{censor|shit}} at movements. if somebody is judging someone or angry at someone I can't talk water off a wet paper bag. everything I do every day even in my own building there is someone who is going to be judging me and telling me I'm not existing right and sometimes I don't want to wake up and exist when I swear other people are better at it than me and if I want to be honest and not a cheater I should just get out.<br />
It's like this. everything has become ridiculously Artisanal. the longer capitalism goes on the more every possible thing people can do becomes this weird little spatial slot hierarchy where honesty becomes synonymous with being actually talented and masterful at something and not doing something to the highest artisanal skill slowly becomes regarded as cheating and under some particular sets of conditions as stealing. Both sets of criteria are made up. they are fabricated on demand in response to contingent sets of conditions. and the role of them is to police the borders of a countable culture to enforce the physical constraint that it cannot contain an infinite number of people and must contain some finite number of people who follow each other's rules and like each other. inside a country every Culture is a {{censor|circlejerk}}. we are probably lying to ourselves that there's any such thing as Community at all. or maybe it's just that we confuse countable cultures with Community when that is one of the most improper models we could have. the bourgeoisie and Community are disgustingly intertwined. they {{em|will}} take the sheer act of existing in a population away from you and let a select Filament of people own that to the exclusion of new people being born. Existentialism-Structuralism must be stopped. we have to stop "tent of freedom poles" from getting to define what is stealing or cheating or ethical and what is human so all of these discussions stop being such nonsense and so hard to actually seal properly.

A) these works were created in the United States. B) the homestuck teenagers being thrown into a new world to overcome a bunch of nasty enemies and danger and uncertainty almost in isolation is a loose metaphor for the process of finding a career in the midst of an environment where individuals and chunks of people are constantly fighting each other for the ability to be part of society rather than leave and connecting into little enclaves of allied competitors (corporations, Liberal-republican parties, etc) that fiercely try to keep all outsiders out. C) the genesis frog is a loose metaphor for each individual having to re-create all of reality around them through labor to break away from parents and toxic friends and political enemies and other corporations as other individuals constantly claim it — a task that not everybody succeeds at, hence null sessions. D) the trolls are a metaphor for what it's like to grow up embedded in United States culture before you gain the quest to be able to break out of the bottom layer and reach the top layer. you are alone psychologically, there are constant threats of being culled from a particular town for being Black or being disabled or being fireable, everyone is mean. Alternia is the ordinary world, earth given Sburb is the special world where heroes go. this might sound shocking to someone who lives in California but it's the strong parallels between trolls and Saiyans (and Gems) and the popularity of these recurring narratives about having to break out of a world of aliens where everyone is terrible that finally sealed it for me. E) Twilight Sparkle is the star student who finds it easy to get to the top layer or special world, and does not realize that a bottom layer of fierce competition exists. the show is presented from her perspective. F) Vegeta is the hero of Dragon Ball. the trolls are the heroes of Homestuck. the griffons are the heroes of MLP. it's only when the people who have every incentive to be mean and kill each other can be turned around to connect each other instead that there can be any heroes. G) the point of these "heroes" isn't that they're mean or reactionary or even that they're peasants or poor. the point of them is that they could split society, and turn on any particular establishment and fight it, but they must choose not to. that's why Trotsky is my favorite example of the person you need to cast as the hero. he's not actually malicious (despite the possibility many people in the conspiracy may have been). he is a very smart individual who was only alienated from the society around him and forced into the process of chunks of society competing against each other because he could not be integrated and turned around to recruit others.

Marxists say that embodied cognition can teach people to take control of matter and society-objects, but most of the time, it seems that embodied cognition actually leads people to thinking that any complicated thing they can't imagine there being a model for is somehow "inherently intuitive", only solvable by intuition and not by philosophy or by math. they will "intuitionize" The Subject, social behavior, populations, freedom, the supposed convergence of different populations into Rhizome, and even non-social objects like quantum fields as supposedly being comprehensible through the natural ability of human beings to fit into society or subpopulations through intuition. the social capacities of humans go out of control, and suddenly everyone thinks that because frequencies and stochastic happenings exist in the universe that the universe is a mind and you can be one with it. really, it's the other way around — the universe is a lot of inanimate objects, and so is society above the individual scale, most likely comprehensible through math just as quantum mechanics is.<br />

to be perfectly clear: a zero point energy {{em|is}} something. it's a set of particles or a physical object with energy removed. if there is such a thing as a zero point for mass it has to mean that there is a way to remove mass. and in one sense there might be. an electron and a positron can meet and annihilate and produce gamma rays and mass can go away, though apparently without being totally destroyed. why would a whole field have a positive resting value?

this statement is false on its face because the Russian Empire was not even a stationary combination of heterogeneous elements, it was a destructive opposition of heterogeneous elements. spatial hierarchy: combination of leaders conflated with disunited heterogeneous elements. anhierarchy: jumbled assortment of heterogeneous elements. anarchy: united combination of heterogeneous elements.

I don't think this claim has a wholly sinister connotation that bans the concept of anarchism. I am just really tired of anarchists and Existentialists acting like they're so much better than Communism when really they should be the exact same thing and there is this incredible dishonesty hidden in acting like a stationary combination of heterogeneous elements can and must never become a singular party-nation. those should be the same thing. if the anarchy is actually stable the elements would just merge together without the need for government to force them together. the only problem here is that anarchism is lying about how ready people are to suddenly abandon racism tomorrow without government having to actively conquer them and subjugate them and pound it out of them.

to not fall into this trap and genuinely create an individualism, you'd have to explain how individuals can guarantee their own survival in a world where all individuals are physically in competition to exist and at any moment 1,000 individuals can simply come together and expel any particular individual into having utterly nothing for the most arbitrary of reasons, constantly snapping at the individual that every inch of the world and every object is claimed and owned and how dare you tread on it if they try to run away and go anywhere else. I doubt that that can even be done. all industrial societies are ranked competitions to Belong and Society the best and not Individual or Human the worst, where the individuals that are ranked the highest at creating peace and superficial equality have the greatest chance to reproduce and sort everyone else into exactly the location, job, culture, and identity they are allowed.

I think sociality has really wrecked the ability of human beings to comprehend the concept of what an individual object even is. there are certain disadvantages to human intelligence and this is one of them. it's not just that humans find patterns everywhere and start seeing supernatural beings, it's also that humans can't intuitively comprehend the concept of people not being part of other people despite all the evidence to the contrary that it is physically possible for people to be socially isolated.

I may have ended up coding this just because of one moment years ago when a Marxist video referred to Trotskyists as "snakes" and it really stuck with me in an indescribable way. I wouldn't say it upset me. it's almost like I found it funny, but not exactly. I was just... thinking about it occasionally, with a weird regularity. I think deep down, I was struck by the deep contrast between how obvious it is to mainstream Marxist-Leninists that Trotskyites can be treasonous conspirators but how completely non-obvious it was to absolutely everyone else, to the extent of changing and shaping the metaphors that people used to describe the situation. in some sense, both had to be true. it had to be true that Trotskyites were snakes, and Trotskyites were not snakes, at the same time. I settled onto the concept that they can be snakes and not be evil, just awkward noodles that sometimes hide themselves in the ground and don't fit in and will bite you if you step on them but aren't necessarily out to get you.<br />
there's a joke to be had somewhere within the classic United States newspaper cartoon of the snake joining or dying, the motif that things like these hide a secret snake conspiracy, and the Ironblood scenario I had sketched out of Trotskyists being the ones to save the United States in a world where every country eventually invents Communism or Anarchism — "I suppose conspiracies aren't always bad" or something like that

I think there are many different kinds of anarchies but none of them are anywhere near as revolutionary as anarchists believe they are.

I think there are going to be a bunch of different anarchies with a bunch of different names, like there could be Kropotkin processes, etc. and when the results roll in, what we will find is that there are at least three anarchies embedded in Liberal-republicanism and none of them are doing any good, they're all mostly just making people angry and making them want to go back to violence because friendship just isn't working out and is only bringing a lot of stress and toxicity.

the great problem with defeating capitalism is that capitalism is already a government before it has a State, in the sense that parishes were tax-collecting governments or counties are governments, and the specific kind of government it is is a really bizarre and oppressive anarchism. <em>capitalism is an anarchism</em>, right now, today. it's a government composed of tiny population-society territories and the tiny population-governments of each town or region are formed into an anarchy. it's hard to dismantle the business territories even in the sense of separating them from their owners partly because people really really love anarchies on a visceral level and have a natural revulsion to dismantling any anarchy.

in context of the original poem Yeats speaks of some kind of idea of <i>Zeitgeist</i> and the signs of a society gradually exploding and tearing into nothing, followed by the Christian book of Revelation. the big idea is apathy — the inability of anyone to go on or anything to repair.<br />
in the context of meta-Marxism, the implication of appropriating this line is that the opposition of "apathy versus passionate intensity" doesn't come from "things falling apart", and instead comes from the system operating as designed. modern societies are anarchies from the beginning, stationary combinations of heterogeneous elements ruled by people deemed superior enough to be kind and wise peacemakers between the chunks. Aang is an inherently bourgeois idea. this false belief that "education", "community" and "niceness" inherently stop chunks from wanting to kill each other comes back to bite people as the inherent structure of the anarchy to begin with is the thing that tears it apart. a mere anarchy is loosed upon the world (anhierarchy) because a mere anarchy was loosed upon the world (anarchy). that's how structures work. if sodium chloride tears apart it's made of sodium and chloride ions. the same is true for chunks of people, which inherently expand and hurt each other unless on a deep internal level of social connection structure they aren't designed that way.

the United States has one big problem that it has never even had a "social-democratic" movement, it's only ever had a "free will" movement. you can attempt to build the nationwide free will party, but the only issue is that it will be terribly incompatible with Marxism because Marxism is based on localized determinism (either lambda-calculus determinism or reterminism), not on Free Will.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2" data-submitter="R.D.">Is the division between Stalin's Marxism and Trotskyism part of nature?  ->  I get the concept of saying that all class conflicts and acts of humans transforming their environment (labor) are part of nature because they're part of <em>human nature</em> or <em>the human animal</em>. that's fine. but I think this concept gets really fuzzy when it comes down to the need to talk about conflicts between human populations which are shearing away from each other and becoming separate nationalities. like, is the emergence of the Trotskyite conspiracy a moment in the greater development of the human animal? that sounds silly. it doesn't sound silly to say that about conflicts between kingdoms or the Russian Revolution, which feels quite significant among hundreds of interesting points in human history. but there is something unique about the Trotskyite conspiracy that makes it feel especially petty and pointless. and my guess is that the reason it feels that way is it's the genuine division of one human population into two separate human populations for arbitrary reasons. things that feel like they're accomplishing something usually happen inside one population, or a set of populations that threatens to forcefully merge, which "effectively" act as one population. but Trotskyism was one of those weird moments when humanity genuinely invented splitting. you can't even say this about countable cultures in general, because there are moments when they come together peacefully and it feels like something was accomplished. early Trotskyism is uniquely pointless in a way very few other things are.<br />
the one thing about this that does not confuse me is that I think Marx's concept that humanity can understand and control its own development continues to make perfect sense. [https://vidak.substack.com/p/marx-naturalism-anachronism-and-the] you need a new and very different Marxism to put two separate populations together, but it isn't inconceivable when you think about situations where two Marxisms did attempt to form in the same country and thus were already side by side in a sense. Marx says that everything humans do has a certain significance of being an arrangement of social links, even the exchange of food recipes. the conclusion is that in one sense all problems including a population dividing in two come down to the ability to control the overall shape of a collection of social graphs.

Tories seek precisely to protect their socially-linked population of people and anything that disrupts <em>it in any way</em> instead of letting it exist exactly as it is they reduce to the status of a bacterial infection that has to be cut off. this is why Lacanianism is not safe or benign. it empowers whatever chunk of people comes out on top of chunk competition to make chunk competition illegal and make all other chunks illegal. even as chunks will keep growing and smashing into each other, and it is impossible to actually prevent chunk competition as much as simply demonize ethnicities for reproducing because <i>existing is strictly a polite activity people do one after the other and they should have waited their turn</i>.<br />

this has huge implications for a lot of things including the arts. there's no such thing as art which is pure individual expression independent of other art that exists. there's always a background competition to know exactly what a genre of competing people is "the best, more than other people do" to then be able to participate in it and create something new which both fits into it and impresses people, which gets harder and harder every decade as more things are made and nobody thinks about how many things each generation effectively has to know about. if you trained an AI not on current art but on the premises of all books starting way back in 1800 or so versus what's current, it's actually in question whether biological humans have a long enough memory and attention span to do that task well. this isn't to say AIs are good but it is to say that we dramatically underestimate the role of interactions between individuals in determining what art is versus the role of the individual artist, expression, or "lived experience". the actual emergence of successful art likely looks more like small-scale determinism than some kind of triumph of individual will. think of it this way: can just anyone create a new Chinese word, or do you have to be highly versed in all the nuances and situations of speaking Chinese?

the difficulty of determining the difference between "beginner understandings" and "prejudice" is one of the biggest snags for trying to apply either Existentialism or anarchism. the fact that culture always does have a definition even as it shifts and evolves makes it really difficult to actually create coexistence and tolerance between countable cultures when they will so frequently act offended just because somebody isn't performing their specific rules well and is instead performing a different set of rules well. this shows us that culture is never truly about the content, and is always about the degree of connection between the individual and a particular countable culture — a person at a low rank of fitting-in in one countable culture can easily be at a high rank of fitting-in in another one, thus the sort of "discipline process" of learning to do a culture right and not wrong belongs wholly to one countable culture assigning belonging-ranks to its own individuals, not to the world or to humanity. assuming that prejudice leads to exclusion is therefore a faulty assumption, because prejudice would be cultural content of one culture (example: Southern Baptist Christians excluding gay people), but it isn't the content that actually binds people together, it's their ability to fit together around the same rules into a shared culture-object as individuals. it isn't the fact that people write in Chinese characters that makes them not understand Spanish and say it doesn't look much like Chinese, it's the fact that different people have greater or lesser connection to the connected body of Chinese speakers, which passes around evolving definitions of what is spoken or written Chinese.<br />
I already feel this concept going a lot more places. just you wait until I come back a little while from now with a killer theory of how the Chinese language is somehow a perfect metaphor for the difference between mainstream Marxism-Leninism and Trotskyism. this concept of all molecular-scale structure being [[Term:Filamentism|Filamentist]] hierarchy until it's Marxism has a really wide scope at the end of the day

this is an easy fallacy to get into when there have been protests because [[E:protest brain|people will think the protests actually cause people to like each other]] and it isn't necessarily true. what changes people and causes them to start solving for themselves more productively is individually being put into a position of having to defend themself from the majority or the most powerful small rings of people, regardless of if anyone else is there with them. the big thing that matters is [[E:Trotsky is your new hero|whether people choose to stay in that disadvantaged position just because it's right]] even if a lot of people there hate them and want to send them back to the reactionary side. you can't make groups of people be nice to each other or be friends, no matter how serious and well-read a schizoanalyst theorist you are. people are going to behave unpredictably to each other and you need to keep them together even as some of them treat each other with utter cruelty and don't behave like friends or comrades at all. it's at that point that either people develop true integrity, sticking to a faction even if everyone on it is terrible purely because they study science and mathematics and look beyond all the confused people around them saying slightly wrong things to seek what's true, or the whole thing crumbles. empathy really doesn't cut it any more in an age where everyone is inherently competing on everything ever including communicating on newsfeeds or getting into subreddits or promoting inclusive minority businesses for just one minority and nobody is friends. community is nothing, materialism is key.

(whether this is true is... complicated. there are some times that would seem true and some times where it would seem really misleading.) the reference video actually gives a material reason in that wealth versus austerity causes the reversion. however, it seems ridiculously easy to argue this same thing without bringing up that legitimate model, and simply go arguing that Bolshevism is one big distraction while Un-Progressive Hierarchies need to be fought on a separate level regardless of whether it is amenable to Bolshevism or squashes Bolshevism. the video used Freud trying to argue the first reason while not realizing Freudian and Jungian models (although Lacanian models less so) are absolutely ripe for arguing the second reason.<br />
one of the major errors in this video is assuming that Soviet people can control what other countries outside them are doing. they can't. that's di- intelligent design, that's the Shenlong effect. reality experiences the Vegeta effect. when you're standing in the United States, you can't actually say "I'll fix the Soviet Union by changing the United States' Free Will toward Communism", because if you're on the Communist side you don't have access to the non-Communist side's will. to think the two sides will fire off at once without a hitch is basically Trotskyism, or <em>nearly</em> equivalent to it. Trotskyism is traditionally defined as multiple separate <em>countries</em> suddenly synchronizing, but when you define it specifically by its errors versus reality, you see that that error could apply to parts of the same fracturing country as easily as it does to two bigger separate countries. so that's the crux of this. you have to either be in the totally non-Communist movement to change the United States or in the Soviet Union, you can't be in both countries at once.

I laughed at it but at the same time the idea stuck in my mind and kept turning over many times in different permutations to where it had become less like I had anything against the article and more felt like it was a gift in its own way. I got weirdly obsessed with the comparison between Trotsky and religion, how his history messed with every scenario I could imagine of him going to the afterlife and how Trotskyism was or wasn't a similar historical process to Christianity. was he actually a good figure to have on anybody's side as a particular faction? what would it be like if ghosts existed and he haunted the earth?

my thoughts on this: I think people might learn best through the visual language of fantasy books. it's a little more common than not for people to look at a fantasy book and say it's perfectly okay for a particular historical process to happen as it does even if there's collateral damage, while equivocating and complicating the need to overcome a particular conflict is stupid. at the moment people talk about "villains" they kind of almost understand history.<br />
the only real problem is when people think they understand a historical process and jump up on their high horse as if they were analyzing it through dialectical materialism when they actually aren't, and they've mentally swapped dialectical materialism and filtration. they've created filtration but they've created non-Marxist filtration that isn't amenable to Marxism, and then they take the high ground like, you gotta get on board the historical process, but they've got Lacanianism at best, they don't have Marxism.

Christians are afraid of crime and rival kingdoms all mysteriously moving around outside, they form into a church. Muslims are afraid of kingdoms conquering each other, they form into a caliphate. capitalism promises "freedom", it practically creates the need for workers to cluster into large corporations so survival will be more predictable and for somebody to be at the head of that corporation predicting everything on the outside so those people can get a paycheck. a Deng Xiaoping state forms when countries have a greater need to be vigilant against war and not make stupid mistakes in their survival than the need to let individuals fight with each other and pursue totally experimental ideas and structures. it follows that when uncertainty goes away, there is a greater potential to republicanize any particular workplace, taking away particular points of authority and handing authority only to "standard procedure".<br />
anarchists don't like this proposition because they generally want to believe that "crabs" are created by one individual's ideas or by di- intelligent design rather than by purely unintelligent, undesigned processes that humans are merely trying to operate in.

the thing that bothers me is what people propose the process to actually be. if you define this in a way that supports historical materialism I wouldn't really be able to complain. what bothers me is when people try to define the historical process of colonialism in a way which is distinctly <em>historical non-materialism</em> or <em>historical existentialism</em>.<br />
if I can be brutally honest for a moment? it reeks of First World privilege for people to think that a bunch of people just standing around and willing something can get people whatever they want. if you have access to lots and lots of money that peasants would clamor over each other to have, or your gigantic continental government has access to all that money <em>supposedly</em>, of course you can have whatever you want. of course it will seem like anyone who does anything but beg owners of giant local-state-sized swaths of industry to pay money to support anything else when paying it would take away their ability to make more ability to help "clearly" doesn't understand history and "clearly" isn't doing anything productive. clearly, history gets less violent as all the power funnels into the United States and all the other countries lose their governments and everyone can just vote on things but they have to be White. and everybody else is stupid. everyone who's a peasant and hasn't created capitalism only has to work harder to be able to vote in about 50 years. but the cherry on top is that if the whole world knits together into Liberal-republicanism it will spend its time dividing in two and generating blood feuds just so it's supposedly "fair" and isn't "totalitarian". (sic.) all of it makes sense in its own twisted way except that. the one thing I genuinely don't get is how a system that generates blood feuds and periodic shootings is inherently fair.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Liberal-republicanism regulates endocolonialism / There is an endocolonialism process which operates based on different coherent subpopulations nominating experts to advise them and make their laws but then in order to achieve any unity between subpopulations whatsoever, having to fight over which political subpopulation acts as the ruling ethnic group of the empire holding empire over the other politically-defined ethnic groups, and Liberal-republicanism regulates this to keep it from turning into a permanent physical Britain-versus-India style colonialism  ->  if this is true, then Third World countries are predisposed to Marxism because they don't have the process of endocolonialism that First World countries have, at least not the one that leads to the creation of Liberal-republicanism.<br />
point in favor of this: historically, empire is the simplest way to join populations. empire joined the fracturing populations of Germany, England, China, Japan, old Korea, India, the list goes on and on. so if Liberal-republicanism is absurdly simple, too simple to possibly work, that it would devolve into humanity's simplest method of joining large populations is not surprising. none of these were colonialism yet. that only started to develop when two populations could smash into each other, like European empires and North American tribes. but what if two majority-ethnicity populations were smashing into each other and trying to expand over each other and siphon away each other's land inside a kingdom? well, then that could potentially be colonialism.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Liberal-republicanism cannot be decolonized / Endocolonialism cannot be removed from Liberal-republicanism as long as the latter exists  ->  note the "endo-". this doesn't mean reparations can't exist. reparations are in response to a past <em>exo</em>colonialism. endocolonialism refers to colonialism basically being identifiable inside a group solely consisting of White people, for instance, a group that's all-British, or all-Dutch, though probably not all-Irish. a group that's all-Japanese, or all-Italian, and has not yet smashed into any particular foreign country it is trying to brutalize but already contains colonialism inside it anyway. that's endocolonialism. from a Materialist point of view it's tempting to say it doesn't exist in order to say it's referring to something else that does exist. but in the end, that's meta-ontologically dishonest. if people are getting stirred up about "colonialism" they won't shut up until you tell them how to stop "colonialism". so it's more meta-ontologically sound to tell them they're talking about "endocolonialism" and that nobody actually knows what that is. also that, really, it's utterly necessary to create a historical materialism of some kind to explain endocolonialism. to explain how something entirely inside a group of White people leads to exocolonialism you very much need a theory of material cause and effect which actually shows how small scales lead up to larger scales and how surrounding patterns can change smaller scales to produce different large-scale events. "ideas, attitudes" won't cut it; you really have to know and predict what each idea produces in reality to know whether any idea will be useful.

I'm surprised that half of all dystopia books aren't already written this way, considering the way every educated person reports on life in their own country. is it that dystopia is softly assumed to only happen elsewhere, even when it supposedly takes place in the author's country? is it that an instance of the United States which has fallen is considered a foreign country?

</li><li class="field_anarchy" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Communist parties, <em>hierarchical</em>, are bad / Communist parties are bad because they are hierarchical  ->  this is contradictory because one typical point of evidence is that people can be expelled from Communist parties, but anarchisms also use expulsion in much the same way and claim it's not hierarchy any more just because it's theirs, just because anarchism is a connected whole and that supposedly can't be a hierarchy. expulsion has to either be hierarchy or not. and I think there's a better case it isn't. only in cases of imperialism where a few White people want to extend their population over the world and rule it does expulsion become a serious thing where not being in a particular country is bad. ordinary people really don't know the difference between non-colonial and colonial and almost get the two backwards so that colonial is freedom and non-colonial is empire.

Christianity has always said it's not about prejudice because anyone can become Christian and if they would just become Christian and simultaneously abandon all other religion and magic ritual the world could be united. Trotskyism makes essentially the same error, coercing anarchists and mainstream Marxists-Leninists into Trotskyism just because of the vacuous truth that if everyone was Trotskyist everyone would be Trotskyist. does most Liberal-republicanism or anarchism have a grounding which is any better than this? is any of it prepared for the possibility that somebody genuinely does not want to be part of a particular group of people, and all the "community" and "anti-prejudice" you can manage wouldn't be enough to fix that? "dem"-"ocracy" is just fine if people are part of the Demos in the first place, but what if they aren't? what do you do when there are multiple separate Demotes that distinctly don't want to be controlled by each other as a matter of national autonomy and self-determination?

North Korea mostly only contained teeny tiny businesses that were utterly incapable of being large capitalism or really having a proletariat. and yet that didn't stop people from forming into a Marxist party-nation. they just did it anyway. you can argue North Korea is "suffering", you can argue North Korea is "poor", you can argue that forming a Marxist party-nation hasn't worked out well, but you can't argue that they didn't form one in spite of what Marxism has traditionally said. I think this leaves no excuse for First-World countries.

I have to say, this is one of those propositions where my first response is simply "that's icky, I don't like it" without an actual reason, where I then have to really stop and think on what is actually wrong with it because I know "icky" is not an argument. I think one possible starting point is the proposition that art must represent its audience rather than its author. that way you rule out art getting to be racist just because a bunch of White people had unique experiences and are <em>such good artists</em> that are <em>so good at being unique individuals</em> that we don't need Media Representation — people absolutely will say this if you let them. all the spontaneity and biographical detail and seconds and minutes of irreplaceable Lived Experience you can muster means nothing if it doesn't represent the audience rather than the author.

I do think artistic abstraction exists. also... it looks like this book is largely an attempt to justify fiction as memoir. I think that's dangerous when it comes to the role of fiction as "education". if a country contains 90% one ethnic group and 10% another one, you want about the top 80% of people making art that's almost totally abstracted from real life, or art simply becomes softly racist as everybody gets flooded with the experiences of one particular ethnic group. it's really much better to have White people focusing all their energy into things like {{book|Harry Potter}} and {{book|Warriors}} so there's space for minorities to write all the more biographical stories that actually manage to teach people about experiences they haven't had.

"the first" Trotskyism was mostly composed of anticommunists but anyone can take it and fill it with workers (assuming they have unreal levels of skill, of course), so it's harder to categorically say that Trotskyism itself is anticommunist even despite all the times it's wrong. similarly Western-Marxism can be wrong a whole lot of the time but not necessarily always malicious.

I quite literally heard about Engels' work as good <em>from</em> mainstream Marxist-Leninists and Trotskyist pages, <em>as</em> a non-Communist, before I ever heard this one. I think that really goes to show what an utter bubble disconnected from ordinary people "the New Left" actually lives in. like, my whole life I've been a socially isolated nerd, but somehow I've <em>never</em> been as isolated in a remote ivory tower as The New Left, to the point I heard "correct" Marxism before I ever really heard of them. Richard Wolff is the only exception where I had any contact at all with anticommunist Western-Marxists and their theory. and as far as I can remember he never managed to confuse me and make me think that what he was doing was remotely the same thing as Bolshevism. I think it was always relatively intuitive to me that "Marxism" and "Western Marxism" were potentially different things. so it is particularly puzzling to me that anybody could think that early Western-Marxism is the one true Marxism. if you have the slightest bit of intuition for [[E:duplexing|duplexing]] or meta-Marxism you'd at least realize that there isn't one true Marxism in that specific sense, and realize that instead there are always plural Marxisms. what stops us from this? is it imperialism? is it the tendency to think that because White culture is the only culture that ever existed and Marxism seeks to find the one correct model of the world, this means Western-Marxism must be the only Marxism?<br />
the one thing that always makes Western Marxism so complicated for me is it's the favorite Marxism for minorities to appropriate to claim that Marxism is the best theory for, and solely designed for, ridding the United States of racism. you have one faction of people which is appropriating Gramsci and Marcuse to claim that Marxism is a theory of anti-racism, and then you have one faction of people who is using the same theorists to claim almost literally that Russians are inherently bad and Bolshevism could never succeed because of bad Russian culture that isn't White culture — you see, even if Russians look White they can't possibly be White because they don't have Democracy. which is a cultural idea, not a practiced material structure that could exist within Bolshevism. they oppressed a single individual with the correct ideas instead of including him through tent of freedom poles and that means that Russians are a savage race that must be fought by real White people until they physically include White individuals with good ideas in their society. this is not neocolonialism, it's just Democracy.

should there be a swatch for queer culture? even just on the "elements" layer of the stylesheet? I feel like all the propositions about queer identity which are distinctly neutral are a bit insulted by always being shown in blue or sometimes in charcoal when I've also started casting that very negatively. I don't think the association with Existentialism or anarchism means it's bad to be LGBT+ or to create things that primarily revolve around that — it's not bad to create a gay nightclub or a lesbian romance book or a circle of {{book|Deltarune}} fans just because those things "aren't Marxist" or whatever. this can get a little confusing because while it's pretty obvious to say it's not against Marxism to be Chinese or North Korean, LGBT+ identity has always been very political and has always been this weird sort of tiny national identity inherently created through the practice of anarchism, as if just like you need to read a Liberal-republican civics book to successfully be United-States you have to read an anarchist civics book to successfully be LGBT+. I think a philosophical tradition code is appropriate to reconcile this weird blend of identity and culture which is fine and intertwined politics.

note: I think this one is neat. it's one of those things that's broadly right even if it's right for slightly incorrect reasons. the action of populations against each other sorts individuals into genders, racial groupings, and so forth; under the model of structuralist linguistics you see the words man and woman or masculine and feminine shift in relation to each other as the populations shift. so...

Lacanian discipline doesn't sound so good now, does it? now let's say we take Stalin's Marxism and duplex it. two different countries unite the proletariat and form Marxist parties and become workers' states. however, if the two countries have totally different ideas of what is in favor of the proletariat in any particular country, each country's party will become incapable of contributing to freeing the world proletariat.

I think it was one of the basic theorists like Marx, Engels, or Lenin but I do not remember.<br />
here are my thoughts on this: abstract concepts don't have to exist in nature to be useful. but freedom is in entirely another category from something like, say, irrational numbers or [[E:Is topology a threat to Marxism?|topological spaces]]. you can learn tons and tons of math and it could be all of it is only useful to creating a workers' state and bringing people together and none of it is harmful. but if you have the wrong model of freedom it could lead you to destroy society, divide populations from each other, or even start a war. I'm not confident there is <em>no</em> model of freedom which is safe. all I know on that is that everyone in the United States always uses the bad ones, even anarchists use bad ones, and I am really tired of those.

I think it's no exaggeration to say he has fully been integrated and appropriated into Liberal-republicanism right next to Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Stuart Mill. this makes about as much sense as Christians reading off versions of Jewish scripture copied in by Jewish Christians and appropriated by the Roman Empire — maybe it did at one point in history, but it makes <em>no</em> sense today. the crux of that entire appropriation process lies in the concept of Freedom. Trotsky can be appropriated by right-Liberalism because he supposedly demonstrates what it means to be free, and to exert one's will to become free. and what do we call that? it would seem to be one of the most clear-cut demonstrations of whether "free will" does or doesn't exist. if you do believe Free Will exists, you'll say Trotsky turned away from the Soviet Union because he has Free Will, partly defined as the physical and psychological autonomy from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. if you don't believe Free Will exists, you'll have a much longer and surely much more interesting account of exactly why Trotsky didn't turn around and reintegrate himself with the only country and political faction that had ever suited him.<br />
I remember some Marxist text saying "freedom can be important even if it doesn't exist in nature". and ever since then I've been doubting that claim, going, okay, but if we assume nature doesn't refer to wolf packs and it refers to things like geological processes, chemical reactions, Newtonian mechanics, and general relativity, isn't it important to know what freedom really is or fails to be as it fails to exist within the whole universe? if we don't answer that question it's super easy to turn freedom around against the world proletariat and use it as a weapon to lead everyone into "[[E:undialectical idealism, historical non-materialism, and class non-analysis|undialectical idealism]]". this is how the Cold War, or the first phase of the forever cold war, was won. the major tactic has been to take these very particular constructs like "freedom" and "community", which are each described with models that are probably wrong, and unite all the bourgeoisie around them and then unite everyone else to the bourgeoisie around Freedom and Community specifically because they want Freedom and Community. the French Revolution didn't just happen once, it's a nasty process that regenerates itself over and over far beyond the point it's harmful.

[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1468-5922.12356] my issue with this isn't really that you're not allowed to call any and all material parts of a country "culture"; you look at something like the Workers' Party of Korea and they'll be saying "culture" but they actually mean the structure and activities of the population, where the whole population with all its moving parts <em>is</em> a countable culture. instead, I think my issue is that you can't just take parts of an individual and say that's culture because an individual isn't really a countable culture — not truly. things an individual is wholly imagining, like if you have Susie Deltarune standing in the supply closet perceiving a card soldier that is entirely in her mind versus in her hand or in the closet, are culture. but Susie being a Monster or being a girl are not culture. I'd add that this is because I think transgender identity is partly material, but I don't even think that matters at all for this discussion, I think the Susie example nails it pretty well. you have to have this minimum amount of choice (insert Deltarune joke here) in what you are or what identity group you are standing in for something to be culture. you take Trotsky and him identifying as a Trotskyist might fairly be called culture because he chose to be there. but having a gender identity is mostly not chosen, it's only the last bit of uncertainty in what group of people they want to hang around that people have to choose to collapse.

let's make it really simple: a group of cats that doesn't understand the benefits of getting along with other cats forms into ShadowClan. it's not like the first arc of {{book|Warriors}}, and the ShadowClan cats help each other out in order to survive. then they casually treat the other clans in awful ways and try to take over their territories. are "society", "community", and so-called "[[E:a crumb of socialism|social-ism]]" inherently good things, or are they instead potentially bad things that [[E:the community delusion|blind everyone]] to [[:Category:Historical materialism ontology (general-sense)|the real way]] pluralities of societies function against each other?

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="S2">State education is Lacanian discipline  ->  this is basically assumed in any non-Marxist theory that thinks having classes about the history of racism will fix everyone's problems. the first question anyone should ask when somebody doesn't believe in historical materialism and calls it "predicting history" is: okay, if history classes aren't about predicting what general things could happen in the future then what is the purpose of teaching history classes? out in the real world, it might take you a while to genuinely get a straight answer. but I feel like what is waiting at the bottom of that conversation is this. people think of all behavior in terms of bad things your father or your sister or your classmates or your teacher [[E:no of The Father|told you not to do]]. accordingly they think all behaviors identified as good or bad can be taught this way, in a kind of rote memorization of what's good and bad. of course, there are deep flaws in this. what if people think speaking Spanish is a bad behavior, or "looking gay"? there is no real distinction between behaviors that are prohibited because they are actually bad and behaviors that are prohibited purely to make people obey some arbitrary cultural standard that everyone was arbitrarily taught, and if somebody is <em>even once</em> scolded for a behavior that isn't actually harmful that person will get deeply upset and start to drift out of society and turn against every group of people that scolded them improperly. and unfortunately, reactionaries are always the people most able to productively apply this finding. every single time you scold a single Tory-leaning White person for something which is ultimately neutral you'll get hundreds of thousands of Tories standing up to you on what you "did" to the Tory subpopulation.<br />
I have always leaned toward the idea that a lot of Tories would be much better at learning historical materialism than they would be at learning "diversity and inclusion" or "anti-racism". if you teach people about whole countries and to portray whole countries correctly as a material process, or to think about subpopulations inside their own country similarly, they'll eventually understand how to give realistic portrayals of people from other populations. if you just pound them over the head with "bad bad bad" for every single tiny mistake they will have a hard time learning the correct picture that's far far bigger and more complex than any of the individual scoldings. it's like seeing somebody not understand general relativity and scolding them for not being able to give an entire presentation about how the scale of photons leads up to time and why single-variable equations may be bad for modeling the universe "because everybody should know that". especially when there is such a contradiction between nice words like "sensitivity" and "inclusion" and the crude, almost barbaric methods of enforcing them that are not at all based in Lived Experience or empathy and as far as I can tell can't teach them.

Black versus White might not be a necessary ethnic grouping, but when you form people into a tribe of anarchists or the Democrat nation that is going to become an ethnic group. Marxists are not afraid of the fact that a revolution or re-forming of a society creates an ethnic group. they just say, here is the Ukrainian SSR and here is the Lithuanian SSR and they are not enemies, and call it a day. anarchists seem to find this almost some kind of inconceivable injustice. it's like they think that all individuals on earth naturally want to form together into bigger populations but they don't want to acknowledge that there is anything that binds particular people together against outside threat or against having to be in a group they don't want to be in, when there totally is. everybody could just not be racist and people would still want to form into specific groups for particular reasons, not to just form together with any group of people at random. this is the basic origin of ethnic groups. that people are fundamentally plural based on having stronger links to some people than other people that divide them into separate graphs. this plurality doesn't prevent forming ethnic groups into larger ethnic groups or forming very large ethnic groups like a huge area of Russians, but you have to acknowledge that it's there. every successful group of people that becomes a country for any significant period of time is basically an ethnic group going by the simplest and most inclusive, non-judgemental definition of what an ethnic group is. for any group of people to have freedom or independence there has to be an ethnic group, and it's the graph connections inside the ethnic group that create a country, not the definition of an area of land or some long line called the national border.<br />
it follows from this claim that smaller groups of people which do not easily form into a larger ethnic group organically will not do well at forming a country, or a "democracy". only correct arrangement of cultures into cultures into cultures actually promotes a healthy ethnic group which in turn promotes a healthy republic.

this statement is false if there is a distinct fourth or fifth scale which is fully separate from either of these. for instance, I find religion hard to separate from countable cultures, I think those are the same thing, and I find political factions hard to separate from countable cultures. countable cultures can overlap or contain each other but that alone doesn't mean there is another countable scale. the republican scale is an entire nation-state such as "the United States" or "China". during events like the Trotskyite conspiracy the national scale will be challenged but a full nation-state is not created yet, so it's the countable culture scale.

Liberal-republicans get horrified by Bolshevism because they think that when all the people in a country are graphed together things are going backward, but they don't realize that if you remove the bourgeoisie, people graphed into Lithuania and graphed into Estonia and graphed into Russia is exactly the kind of structure that remains, the 14 separate republics each graphed together into a single population and government are a large part of what the proletariat is; the only thing missing from that definition is the potential for any particular proletariat to split into smaller proletariats at any time for a complicated variety of reasons.<br />
there is a particular reason people haven't discovered this. people want to think of the proletariat as a simple collection of millions of tiny objects called proletarians, when they don't realize that what they're really looking for is the whole group of proletarians being one big object yet one object which does not cover the world. Lenin got this correct, by mobilizing the proletariat with people of different classes and movements to all form a nation-wide movement. this is one example of correctly understanding the proletariat as the overall population of Georgia, etc., when it is in its purest form. what causes huge problems is when individual countries [[E:multicapitalism|break into multiple proletariats]]. practically speaking, they will behave like they are different countries even though there is no mechanism for them to operate as different countries and even if they are horribly scattered so one "country" is mixed into every fifty people of another "country".<br />
anarchists have this very wrong idea that culture-populations are natural (so far so good) but also that culture-populations naturally want to merge together and coexist, and a lack of Freedom is the only thing preventing this. this is wrong. there can be two Iroquois tribes with all the freedom in the world and one day people in one tribe can just start killing people in the other. the tribes don't actually coexist until they solidly form a combined structure capable of regulating them which they are obligated to be part of and can't secede from. the moment two countable cultures don't effectively <em>reciprocally own each other</em> and they gain freedom they have the capacity to kill. you absolutely can't conceptualize colonialism and "bad governments" as a matter of freedom, it just doesn't work that way. the worst thing is that at the republican scale it's sometimes hard to even force populations to reciprocally own each other. sometimes populations are simply big enough and self-sufficient enough they'll tear away from you and out of the reciprocal ownership. so, the ideal scenario is that Ukraine agrees to reciprocal ownership with the Soviet Union, but if Ukraine tears out of its own will to support some reactionary group of people, then people have not naturally merged together and <em>anarchism is false</em>. it doesn't mean anarchism is true. it means something more like that anarchism is false but fascism is true. a group of human beings joined around culture and [[E:poetry (flair)|poetry]] and hope hard enough simply cannot be controlled and will fight you to the death, and at least win its own life if it has strong enough structures and tight enough internal links. this is people's genuine free will, not a corruption of it. so inasmuch as free will exists at all the only good answer is that free will is bad. freedom is one big nothing burger that goes many roads but ends up nowhere, and free will is bad because it is anti-science and anti-reality. free will is Susie sitting in the middle of her decrepit room hallucinating <b class="caps">Image_Friend</b>.

I feel like in a better world we'd teach every single "progressive" degree and several others about Gödel's incompleteness theorem, maybe you'd even learn it in high school. we'd teach high school students that only observations can actually lead to knowledge, not logic or reasoning. funny enough I think that might knock more people out of religion than something like teaching evolution, just because people would actually realize that things they see when all alone probably aren't real.

Deng Xiaoping Thought could very literally be a member of the Western-Marxist tradition just because China is now a First World country and is still more or less practicing it.<br />
this is where the model of abandoning "The West versus The East" in favor of "First World countries versus Third World countries" really has an advantage. you don't need to say "Japan is a Western nation" or "China has Westernized" where the axis of capitalist alliances between First World countries is the actual thing uniting them against countries that suffer imperialism rather than "culture".

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="F2">The proletariat and bourgeoisie are diametrically opposed  ->  strictly speaking, this is not always true. for instance, there can be times where both the proletariat and the bourgeoisie have an interest in creating a functioning business structure and making sure it doesn't collapse and leave all the workers unemployed. this is especially true for Director types that are earning significant salaries for actually designing things about the business territory or the individual project to the point of indirectly putting workers into roles or firing workers. let's look at MrEnter trying to create a TV show: he has elaborate plans for practically everything in the TV show, and he only needs to put people into place storyboarding and animating things he has already designed. in terms of having created the project and being the one who will take it to market he should be the capitalist. but he makes a lot of decisions to the point his decisions can affect whether the show succeeds or fails and whether he practically has the money to pay his workers or a simple debt to them. there is a significant problem today, especially as big businesses spontaneously collapse, of a lot of businesses reverting back to a state where the capitalist and the worker are not very differentiated. they're just two peasants bound together both trying very hard to produce something. this makes it hard to apply traditional models of "the capitalist is purely a landlord and the workers can take over"; no, capitalists are sometimes doing just enough real work ordinary people get genuinely confused what a worker is. this isn't just the case in the arts. it's easy for there to be a small restaurant or a small thrift store where the owner still makes a lot of actual day-to-day decisions that could sink or float the workplace itself, and where even lists of union demands across ten tiny thrift stores might not operate fast enough to save it. the union turns into a crude hammer or axe operating on a scalpel-level task — although to be perfectly clear the surgeon is blind. nobody has the ability to both do the task and look at the task at the same time. this has led to a lot of wrong interpretations of unions — that unions are a bunch of [[E:tent of freedom poles|freedom poles]] uniting specifically for freedom, that workers primarily gain the ability to do their job through more and more freedom and not because of any structure or guidance, that if a ring of producing-capitalists strikes it's a gain for workers, that some workers "just don't know what producing-capitalists go through", 

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Workers and capitalists sometimes have the same interests / The proletariat and bourgeoisie occasionally have the same interests  ->  this better covers unusual edge cases like North Korea or China where there can really be a situation where workers and owners have to all stand together against outside countries trying to own their country and take away their right to have a national government, even if outside countries have turned the world into a forever cold war where it's not a thing where you can do it for a short while and then stop. people can also argue over whether workers and owners ever have the same interests just because they both have to organize a Liberal-republican law for Black rights or similar. I'm still not over a contemporary Marxist theorist I will not name saying "workers and owners are diametrically opposed" "you have to detach everyone from the bourgeoisie that run the Democratic Party" and then "we have to build a social-democratic movement, I organize with landlords". one of those statements is wrong. I think it's actually the first one. I think the general concept of creating a large-scale movement <em>of some kind</em> before you try to [[Term:filtration|filter]] it is right. but I think the statement that workers and owners are neatly opposed is wrong. you wouldn't be able to get every single bourgeois assembling-people organizer into your movement and build a "social-democratic party" if they all consciously knew it was against them and that all the workers ultimately just wanted to get rid of them. so the question becomes, is social-democracy nothing more than a useful lie? if it's something more than a useful lie, there have to be solid material reasons for the bourgeoisie to support a nationwide movement where they largely stand to lose something and take on precarity rather than to gain something.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Code is culture / Code is law  ->  "code is law" doesn't capture the problem sufficiently. much code has to actively be interacted with and read by non-programmers, or people who become programmers. whenever anybody else has to interact with code it turns into a chain of signifiers, and turns into communication. the same is also true for user interfaces or any expectations on how a program or operating system is used. huamn beings have an [[E:Able-bodied programmers are assholes|inherent expectation]] that all culture already exists and doesn't require labor to create. this inherent expectation is wrong, as it is very often true that people have to actively create culture with labor and yet can easily make wrong decisions on where to put their labor purely because they do not have enough information about who is going to use it. corporations inherently generate dissatisfaction by having to build things in private, although at some times <em>gigantic</em> corporations inherently generate satisfaction by already having a customer base that they can feasibly learn from; non-accessibility is the [[E:shovel dream|shovel dream]] of people creating things while fragmented into tiny groups, which simply cannot see anything outside them as a practical matter, not a matter of deliberate prejudices. sometimes this has some very nasty consequences: if you truly wish to build something which is inclusive and equally accessible to anyone it may end up rather low-tech and behind the times for quite a long while while you troubleshoot every possible thing that could alienate an individual from participating and only very slowly update everything when it's clear that everyone can use it. some people will become lost specifically by how low-tech and manual-labor the project is. a few of those people might be disabled people who require technology to perform an assistive role, but which wasn't the assistive technology you expected. there is a tradeoff between actively [[E:Nothing should be done unless everybody considers it wonderful|not doing anything if someone wouldn't think it wonderful]] and trying to use good judgement based on a small group's local or individual tastes hoping it will be less alienating than doing nothing because it was designed for at least one real live human, not a mindless deterministic lambda function of [[E:What if you were the variable x?|several unknown people interacting]].

I'm not positive on that. I'll say this. Marxism survives when China merely keeps existing and nothing can destroy the most basic first steps of Marxism from the outside. Marxism also potentially survives when a relatively large area of industry emerges which is impossible to break apart, where the people don't forsake building any of it just because somebody gave them an offer to migrate somewhere better, and it fills up with workers. I said once in MDem drafts: once something becomes so big it's a whole population it decides what is legal, the people surrounding it don't determine what's legal or okay. but I also think that doesn't happen unless the inside of that area is genuinely strong and hard to break up. a statement that "we choose to allow empty houses" doesn't by itself create a population that strong.

I have no idea if it's true. but I am very tired of every anarchist and Western-Marxist trying to claim that television or billboards or social media platforms stand between people and taking action. I know that in <em>some way</em> that claim is very misleading. I think one reasonable hypothesis is that what actually happens is people are connected to the wrong people rather than the right people. simply being connected to reactionary relatives and living in a scarcity of jobs where there are no good places to move to and no workers to meet each day has a far greater effect than "phones" could ever have. in this sense you can argue that everybody normalizing breaking social bonds to be "free" or to "find success" tosses people into a world where they interact mostly with capitalism rather than any organic social connections and if their brain is functioning at all they will grow to hate it in less than a decade. the problem is that this only really manufactures theorists, not workers, because the kinds of people who get the most atomized aren't workers to begin with — by meta-Marxist definitions they're either petty bourgeoisie tearing into a multicapitalism which could theoretically one day lead a plural Marxism, or the Refuse class.

I guess one big factor is simply that one wolf has as many as 6 young, so you start with 7 mother wolves and you can end up with 42; a few leads to many of them. it really makes you think though, if you're writing an imaginary story akin to {{book|Warriors}} why would LGBT+ characters be a problem. once the pups are there you need somebody to raise those 6 pups. they won't really care who is there to protect them from being trampled or lead them out of a hunter area.

I think Marxism would eventually have been invented inside the Third World without there being <em>any</em> French Revolution. anarchists, Existentialists, and center-Liberals have a totally wrong view of this. they always talk as if the French Revolution led to later instances of Liberal-republicanism, or to anarchism, or to Western-Marxism — is any of this actually true?

Filaments are the lifeblood of capitalism. it's never actually about individuals. but here's the catch.

Marxists argue with each other as a substutite for having actual violent conflicts where Stalin's government kills 100,000 Trotskyites, which historically is what happens if they act. a lot of anarchist activity is almost totally secret from the nearly-surface stuff of forming groups and letting anyone know they exist to the actual secret operations. whatever little thing anarchism achieves it largely manages it because a lot of people don't know anarchism even exists and as they go around claiming nobody is an anarchist or a Communist and there is "only" common-sense center-Liberal anti-racism they act as useful idiots <em>in favor of anarchism</em>. then there's Gramscianism, where people hide inside institutions for decades hoping their mere presence pretending to be conservatives but not actually being them will make change. since around 1970 movements in general have turned into this weird intelligence game where the whole goal is to fool people like this video maker that there are no movements when there actually are. I swear, if you can believe me, that even I don't actually know much of anything about anarchist movements. I am just sitting here like, although I only know scraps about the generalized shapes of them, is it dangerous to tell people movements don't not exist, or not? the only way to break out of that is to solve movements so that they can actually defend themselves, and not just for a month or a year, but for decades against the forever cold war.

</li><li class="field_fantasy" value="618" data-dimension="S2">rotten prey and starving cats  ->  <cite>Warriors</cite> is so interesting because the simplicity of the society makes it especially easy to make a distinction between a functioning graph of individuals and the arbitrary concept of wealth. for cats to eat there has to be an active graph from warriors to the other cats each day; a pile of stuff will not do. arguably, that is almost exactly how income and wealth actually work. the value of jobs is literally to produce when needed, and for business A to be available when needed by business B. the notion of workers or owners "making wealth" from a business is totally wrong and potentially leads to the destruction of towns and capitalism and even Liberalism. Menshevism doesn't fix it if capitalists successfully deconstruct all the means of production and hoard everything, which there is almost nothing to stop them from doing. the worst part is this. capitalists hoard {{censor|shit}}. somebody builds structures for them to deconstruct and hoard. it isn't the proletariat, it's the Director types. Director types build {{censor|shit}}. they employ people to do the hard work and never to think. but they don't maintain it or own it, they just get together at fancy parties and go "isn't everything wonderful?! we're all friends friendship wonderful tent of freedom poles". they live in the moment and they don't care if anything totally breaks apart. so practically they always let society suddenly fracture into multiple violent societies, sometimes standing by and pretending to be neutral, sometimes joining a side and picking a big capitalist and simply slicing the country down the middle. to overcome all the bourgeoisie, practically speaking, workers have to be able to graph businesses together and predict which store sells to what to the point Directors aren't needed. they have to defeat anarchism, at least in [[:Category:Existentialist-Structuralist tradition ontology|all its bourgeois forms that seem like 90% of it]], and the whole concept of a tent of freedom poles.

"a-culture-ism" appears to develop when anarchists are trying to find ways to break up material structures they consider hierarchical and then they realize that the structures are composed of groups of people bound together with toxic culture, so, applying the Idealist frameworks they don't like to abandon, they start declaring that the first step to forming an anarchist movement is to defeat "culture" and the ideas behind the ideas behind the ideas behind the prejudices behind the ideas in people's heads. it seems like this same concept leaches into Western Marxism just because everyone is actually anarchists or Existentialists before they become Marxists and they never quite figure out how to think entirely like Marxists and stop being anarchists.

I think it's similar at the scale of separated individuals or groups of individuals. and I think this is part of how social platforms got so popular: in an age where everyone hates each other a bit as a baseline, the ability to trade posts into a weird bazaar of sayings that people can pick up as if they were products feels safer than anything actually intimate. what's driven me away from ever really wanting to use these things is that even as impersonal as it is it isn't actually safe. people can still start hating you and rejecting you just because you aren't perfect. the separation that is supposed to bring safety doesn't really achieve its own goal, and only seems to drain good things from the experience without getting rid of the bad things.

China manages to hold back the billionaires with what is effectively a very similar structure to the United States, billionaires actually go to prison when they do something bad, but you need experts to run it which all amount to the petty bourgeoisie. so is China a dictatorship of the proletariat just because it has an intact party-nation of Marxist theorists? arguably, no, it is a Marxist party-nation but a party-nation isn't the same as a successful dictatorship of the proletariat, it's just the first step out of the utter suffering of Liberalism. Menshevism is not a bourgeois reform, literally forming China and giving it the power to violently suppress the bourgeoisie with weapons if truly necessary but it's nearly the same as the United States is the bourgeois reform, and the only reason we don't realize that is that we don't want to admit there are multiple bourgeoisies that utterly hate each other like inhuman carrion piles and so it's truly necessary for people to divide into plural areas of bourgeois control no matter what people want to think. the border of the wolf pack or lion pride is the dangerous part, not the high-ranking adults. that said. here is how I think the order goes: national independence; defeating Liberal-republicanism and creating party-nation; not creating capitalism; creating Bolshevism; dictatorship of the proletariat; age of multi-Bolshevism; hypothetical age of poly-Bolshevism. this is the order of discovering what theories are good theories, whether or not it's the actual order of history.

[[:Category:Existentialist-Structuralist tradition ontology|Existentialism]] was everywhere, and this concept that people will automatically flip over and change their minds if you only shout <i>individuals individuals human rights identities individuals that is an individual you are an individual identity identity people like each other because they are different</i> enough. in the beginning when I was literally a [[E:right-Liberalism|right-Libertarian]] that made some kind of sense to me, but as soon as I started actually not being a conservative all of it increasingly made less and less sense until I was like, where did any of this even come from and how does anyone even think it's correct? I read non-Marxist texts like I was supposed to and none of them made any sense, so I just kept digging and digging and digging on every single lead I could find anywhere to try to figure out where <em>any</em> of this philosophy coherently originated from whether people were creating it consciously or not. most of my research focused only on the past decade and how people could derive ideologies from scratch. but most recently, [[E:U.S. antiwar movements have always been Idealist|I realized]] that past United States antiwar movements had already been this. past large-scale movements in the United States had had the shape of anarchist Idealism, and not at all the shape of Marxism. finally, the outpouring of works like <cite>Undertale</cite> and <cite>Steven Universe</cite> started to make sense. the exact way they were portraying the notion of breaking up war was based on things like the Vietnam War period, in which despite the war being against Communism it wasn't actually Communists trying to stop it. and I'm not just saying the obvious fact of "a Marxist movement isn't mostly made of Marxists", what I'm saying is, "it's as if the whole entire movement was not Marxist and anarchists were forming the theorist layer and trying to form the party-nation". nobody will ever be able to do historical materialism again if we don't understand workers' movements as plural bodies of people with different colors of theorists on top that realize different kinds of countries. incidentally yeah I think Trotsky accidentally set the whole world back purely by claiming workers didn't really belong to plural countries or plural workers' states. come on, Trotsky, [[E:sea of free-floating entities|every object is plural]].

would I do that? well. I hate it. I have no other choice. I am incapable of doing it practically. that question is one big contradiction. so my answer is, I will analyze every single other ideology through Marxism, but as itself rather than a confused Marxism that explains itself wrong. Trotskyism isn't secretly mainstream Marxism-Leninism, it's Trotskyism. anarchism isn't secretly Bolshevism, it's anarchism. and a Marxist analysis <em>of anarchism</em> is something very different than a Marxist analysis of Marxism pretending to be anarchism. I am a meta-Marxist. if I have to use Marxism to explain how to succeed at totally non-Marxist ideologies that never turn into Marxism then I will. but I won't lie to you that Western Maxism or anarchism "must" be effective just because everyone's doing them and an ideology that's popular "must" be a winning one. I will judge the effectiveness of ideologies based on history. currently it's looking pretty bad for anarchism and bizarrely good for Deng Xiaoping Thought. I have been wracking my brain as to why that latter trend exists, and [[E:The Cold War never ended|I think I half have an answer]]? but the answer only makes the outlook even worse for anarchism. anarchism is going to have to [[E:The Cold War never ended|molecularize]] or it will never win.

I feel like with the notion of Bauplans and internal structure that becomes possible eventually, if you'd only take slices of China and map them out as structures of connected structures. it may be that molecular Deng Xiaoping Thought kinda goes backwards. although, I did just describe a hypothetical scenario where it went forward from small things. maybe it can go either way.

I am guessing disabled people would probably not prefer to define access this way. but it's hard to stop that hole from tearing open. some people rewrite programs because they are not practically "accessible" to all the people attempting to look at the code, to debug it and such, and thus they feel rewriting the program is more <em>inclusive</em> to all the <em>human beings</em> that would later look at it. this is all because calling code accessible or not accessible is a fallacy. it's always <em>populations of people</em> that are open or closed to people, and the existence of code or technology is totally incidental; code itself has no intentions on how it is designed. to overcome the fallacy you have to realize that the thing that performs accessibility is an institution. you have to basically deliberately create a really consistent group of people that will function As A Community Unit for it to be able to do accessibility. and when you do that, anarchists will show up accusing you of "centralization". anarchism — depending on which one it is of course — is this terrible contradiction. anarchists want to overcome all social oppressions and make everybody behave good. at the same time anarchists hate anything being consistent and cohesive enough that it could be a painted target for anyone to catch a law-breaking anarchist. this contradiction practically results in a bunch of disconnected anarchists with little information about each other who are unable to live up to the standards of anarchism and who perpetuate social oppressions, all because they are scared to have a civilization that has laws and can defend itself from other populations that think it shouldn't exist. this is the Free Software movement in a nutshell: it's anarchism hiding inside capitalism, and it has all the basic logical problems of anarchism.

the process of creating any civilization historically begins with training a bunch of highly specialized professor types who set up the civilization. after they do that, nobody else necessarily benefits from studying what they studied, but what they created is theoretically available for anyone to use and becomes cheaper. by conventional Liberal-republican wisdom, the same process <em>should</em> apply to everything, with anybody who goes to college being able to discover something new and snag an exclusive Careerist spot as a resident expert, or start a new business. of course, in real life it doesn't quite shake out that way. in real life, capitalism produces so fast thanks to its Third-World workers that culture fills up with available products and nobody even wants or needs any more innovations. people get gaslit that learning stuff will make them likable because people like talent and creativity and education and then they get gaslit again that there's no need for any more art or science if they aren't the next one-in-a-billion international corporation owner that made the stuff everybody around them will be actually using the next morning. so why then does everyone keep saying "college college college, go to college"? because it's ultimately a trick by the bourgeoisie to disguise capitalism. the longer everyone says "college college college", the slower people figure out that the economy has filled up into a very limited number of jobs where the key is not in being good at things but simply in claiming things first and staying in them as long as possible. this is easiest for someone with a huge bank account who does nothing but buy businesses or stocks. a finance capitalist can switch from industry to industry in a heartbeat without spending any money on training, and very easily forgets that all the college-educated people have to spend thousands of US dollars and take years and years to do what they can do in a day or a minute. the concept of education becomes outdated as education inevitably builds up societal structures in which people do not have to learn the things previous pioneers learned. this is good in that in theory jobs will come not to cost as much, although it can be bad in that those with the money and time to commit to education have no advantage over the person who is simply very obedient to the constructs previous educated people created and is willing to work for a low wage, even to the point of serious fault where they go to work for a Tory and fully accept the racist, misogynistic, ableist atmosphere. fifty able-bodied White men full of hatred and willing to work for any wage gain a particular amount of power to absolutely grind five college-educated progressives into the dust. even so, people will keep chanting "education education" like sending all the socially-linked Tories to get an arts degree and somehow bleeding it out of professors' pockets or something will magically fix everything. but in reality all those "education education" people are just falsely and confusedly thinking that they're at the level of elite pioneers who could have started the United States from scratch, they're temporarily embarassed colonizers. they get this wrong impression from the observation that Liberal-republicanism constantly imposes artificial destructive processes which arbitrarily grind up industry and start it over again, ostensibly so that capitalism is "fair" in that new people can enter it and [[E:stale rat bread|Zinovievize]] existing "industrial culture" whenever they get tired of it, but in reality, it's a ruse to make people think cultures are made of endless competition and churn when that can never be the definition of any culture. it's always been that cultures are made of invention, the codification of standards or structures, the falling of profit, and the enjoyment of abundance where applicable. this assumption is baked into the sheer existence of universities. the reason creating professors is valuable is that professors create wealth for society as a whole, not for individuals. even if universities create capitalists, the capitalists also create structure for society at a town- or local-state level rather than for themselves. "[[E:wealth brain|wealth brain]]" destroys humanity's ability to understand society, to understand what it is and how it develops. when you have wealth brain you believe that education is for earning personal wealth and society is nothing more than a bunch of shiny objects and paying, but if that were true, it would quickly become that individuals would destroy the social structures they are supposed to create and become both useless to society having contributed nothing, and incapable of earning wealth because they created no consistent means of production. funny enough that's kind of exactly what's happened. people are going to college thinking wealth wealth wealth (not that it's their fault when they're not allowed to think anything else) and they end up utterly unemployed as all the necessary businesses are full and incapable of creating a business. they're not creating unions because there aren't enough businesses per individual being born for them to work at and if they manage to find a job it's always more advantageous for them to move to either a "prestigious opportunity" or one of the "only" regions with jobs left than to stay and fight for the first one they got. with nothing to fight for it's easy for the bourgeoisie to shove the smallest spark of resistance totally out and make them scramble to create a second rival bourgeoisie just to live. simultaneously businesses periodically fail just because they have trouble lasting forever, taking all their workers down with them. each failure of a capitalist hurts workers and gives an opening to a swath of new petty bourgeoisie that's enough to cause trouble but not enough to provide real relief to the unemployed population. they grow a bit, they enable really gigantic marketplace-owners that will get to keep the money forever, some of them drop away, one gets big and the hole in capitalism plugs back up. a little later another medium-sized business fails and the cycle starts again, or maybe towns just fill up with a bunch of tiny businesses that are constantly opening up and dying and causing confusion for everybody.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">In the U.S., a tiny bit of economism is warranted  ->  this might be controversial. but from 30 years of experience living here, the people of the United States are often joined together only and solely by mathematics. no appeal to shared history, freedom, generosity, or empathy can actually join U.S. people together, although somehow the one thing that can join people together is economic imperatives like a corporation being there tomorrow and everyone having to go to the same corporation to receive a paycheck. people put up with their relatives almost solely because their relatives have money or able bodies while they don't actually like them or feel a bond to them. people join identity politics movements for selfish reasons of protecting themselves as much as for actually helping anyone else, graphed together by the promise of a bunch of people joined together winning rights and an elusive mathematics of graphs and people-blobs which might one day explain it. the whole concept of solidarity as some kind of moral or emotional connection or "the love of humanity" just doesn't really apply in the United States. talking as if employee types even have emotions left and aren't just hollow vessels of depression is almost itself an appeal to the bourgeoisie. the bourgeoisie have all sorts of time for marketing novels and talking about [[:Category:Existentialist-Structuralist tradition|expression and emotion and Lived Experience]]. but as for any genuine workers that exist — for whatever five minutes they exist until being totally forced off business territories and being forced to start a new teeny precarious business — it's more useful to think of workers as devoid of emotion and being herded around by societal patterns and themselves to the things they "[[E:Anarchy is the most authoritarian thing there is|just have to do today]]" as if with cattle prods. the whole thing is held together with nothing but mathematics, there's no emotion in it. this leads me to feel like to fix it it's perfectly okay to appeal not to anything emotional but instead solely to new mathematics that people can recite as the thing they "just have to do today" equally as dispassionately.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Industrial work does not create wealth / Industrial work does not create wealth for individuals, it creates actively-flowing groups of people who are graphed together exchanging things with each other and who enjoy stability and surplus wealth for social programs only when they are strongly united  ->  at its basics, wealth is the possession of independent survival separate from all other members of society. peasant life generally possesses this unless somebody else claims the land from the peasants. industrial work does not create wealth in the same way, despite everyone's misleading metaphors about "the grasshopper and the ant". industrial work creates <em>stuff</em>: the material components of culture which do not necessarily have much value by themselves but are valuable precisely inasmuch as three corporations constantly producing them can sell them to each other. "stuff" is only meaningful as part of a structured graph arrangement of people, and ceases to be meaningful when the graph arrangements break and nobody will take it. simultaneously capitalists stupidly try to insist that graph arrangements breaking is normal, although to anyone with a brain that is <em>the momentary absence of capitalism</em>, not an actual process inside capitalism. saying that "market corrections" are part of capitalism is like saying that cats frequently dying of kidney failure is a useful and important part of cats; a bug in the system isn't a design.<br />
this question takes on a whole new dimension in light of anarchism. anarchists successfully understand that peasants had wealth more easily, but fail to understand the purpose of corporate products. the social purpose of corporate products is to make it easier to produce something useful without it having to be judged by the harsh immediate demands of survival — to make it possible to spend your time writing poetry or making watercolors of crows like a third of anarchists would love to do, instead of finding that because you're a woman and a mother dad said you had to watch the baby while he works with the cows. having to do work at the level of individual independence and survival has a lot of unintended consequences. independence and "wealth" make it hard to spend your time on children without accidentally resenting them or creating conflicts between the parents, while statistically at least half the population is going to have children. capitalism, at first, [[E:Capitalism dices countries into half a country per person|is just as bad about this]], but eventually makes it possible to chain together a bunch of corporations that are all in effect paying for each other's existence and have just enough productivity left over to provide inexpensive childcare. capitalism creates surplus wealth for a particular chunk of society at a time specifically because undirected graphs of people are all graphed together, vaguely like the way electrons are all graphed together across two atoms in a chemical bond. incidentally this benefit goes away when people allow Liberal-republicanism to [[E:multiple capitalisms in one country|divide people into two populations]] — the two populations don't graph together properly and the wealth doesn't get shared "across the bond" — although Deng Xiaoping Thought funny enough more or less fixes that, leaving China with an intact capitalism and in an objectively better stage of history than the United States.<br />
the big challenge for anarchists, or for Bolshevism, is to master graph economics. you can't even put a bunch of anarchists in a village and know the thing will hold together without knowing what the structures are and the inputs of every structure are in order to determine the other structures' outputs. industrial work does not create wealth. it creates graphs that are doing a verb. the republic is [[Term:republicking|republicking]], the town is towning, the village is villaging. this is the sense in which anarchism is indistinguishable from capitalism. Marxists say this accusation in a negative tone but it doesn't really have to be negative if anarchists simply didn't attack workers' states and stuck to peacefully creating tiny city-states that help workers' states on the off chance they're actually able to. the ideal scenario for anarchists is basically that you have a Soviet Union with 14 big republics and then you have like 300 teeny tiny city-states that are also part of the structure. I don't know how many, maybe it would only be like 20.

</li><li class="field_anarchy" value="618" data-dimension="F2">Industrial work creates hierarchies  ->  the problem with the concept is in the word "creates". if you stop at "industrial work ... hierarchies", then you've got it basically correct. <em>when</em> there is industrial work <em>it is the case</em> there are spatial hierarchies. but industrial work isn't the thing that creates them. industrial work is a response to them already being there, which attempts to solve them and make them less bad and more tractable. the end of that solving process looks like graphs that have been graphed together into the "shared electron" process of capitalism.<br />
anarchism is so... blockheaded. whenever you try to cover the things said in anarchism it comes out in such simple words I feel almost like I could explain why anarchism is false in toki pona. I would love to do that, just take one or two of these propositions and after it's written make a toki pona translation. the only real problem is I'm not "fluent", I don't have the standard usages and grammars down yet. but I do know in the mean time I can always make an en-x-pona page to later translate the toki pona from. I remember the first time I discovered [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_English_Wikipedia simple english wikipedia] and not really thinking deeply about how many English learners there are I found it so funny. now even though I see "simple English" as a serious tool with broad application I still think it's fun. I still have a laugh at the notion of a complicated idea being "unrolled" into simple language to the point anyone should find it obvious. I hope someone else has as much fun with the en-x-pona pages as I will.

I feel like to answer it properly you have to separate out "the scientific method" from "an ontological model discovered through science which is now a field of study at a university". when you're talking about the second thing, you can absolutely argue that science is a social construct, specifically because each field of study contains assumptions or hastily accepted hypotheses and could always contain important errors. say that clinical testing is a field of study, but in practice the whole field of clinical testing has almost exclusively tested treatments on men. this would lead clinical testing to be a social construct which contains scientific errors and which would have to be updated through the scientific method into a better construct.

I think using ancient Egypt is a good thought experiment because it doesn't run into problems of tribal populations a really long time ago simply not being able to get the apparatus to test things; the single, sole advantage of class society is that it has wealth. tribal populations today are very different because they can make the journey to industrial centers if they really want to, so the major issue that comes up today is the will or decision-making power of different populations to be able to do things on particular land areas or "impose forms of science". anyway it's less complex to do this with ancient empires or very large populations versus small tribal populations; if you want to do this with tribal populations you use today's indigenous populations rather than the ones that existed a long time ago.

I think the same thing is true for plural groups of people existing in the present. a group of White Southern Baptist Christians, no matter how nice they are, will have a little trouble imagining zapping their perception over to India where people in India are conscious instead of them, and vice versa the other direction. this in turn makes it hard to understand the concept of a whole other class subpopulation of people, who manages to exist in the very same country as you and yet isn't you and is consciously perceiving the world instead of you. to someone who has never experienced it, the whole concept of another class probably feels like one of those weird science fiction scenarios like [[E:It's easier to imagine impossible matter fractals than the end of capitalism|discovering your universe is only an atom in another universe and you never knew]]. even a group of workers in the 1930s United States would find it hard to predict the 2020s where the proletariat has been shoved off the area of the country and everyone has been turning into hostile warring factions of bourgeoisie. to be able to comprehend historical processes that might happen in each period you really have to [[E:meta-Marxism|see outside yourself]] and see all the groups of people that exist, all the classes, all the factions consisting of plural [[Term:Social-Philosophical System|class-subpopulations each with a local ideology inside]]. but, if you can do that you're set. you're ready, in any historical period, to comprehend the possible futures that could happen.

I would like to know. when I read Marxist history texts I feel like I learned a lot more about it than I knew before. but there are always times when I freak out about the concept that the separation between populations of people as material objects is always stronger than anyone's ability to reason or intuit about what other populations are feeling and any attempt to have empathy or think about the problems of other groups of people could potentially offend someone, because you didn't predict the thing that was literally actually in their mind which was the only tone in which it was acceptable to speak about them at all. it makes me afraid regarding the potential for diplomacy between groups of people, how or whether it is even possible in a world where anyone is like this.

on why this isn't sound: people like predictability. people tend to take unpredictability as indistinguishable from rudeness, hostility, or malice — because, to be fair, a lot of actual malice [[E:Vegeta effect|pops up totally unpredictably]]. when big eruptions of violence happen, people are very happy when they stop. when small incidents of violence happen, people can become terrified just because they never know when it stops, and they will look for the nearest pattern they can see to try to find a causal mechanism that can stop it. this means some people will look at "termite violence", see a recurring pattern of "Black people", and start judging all Black people or even retaliating at all Black people with their own "termite violence" just to stop a presumed pattern of "toxic Black culture".

</li><li class="field_geo" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Most science is not done in reality / Most science is not done in the material world / Most science is not done in the field or in laboratories / criterion for identifying scientific revisionism, defining the failure to recognize correct models as revisionism  ->  sounds shocking at first but logically has to be true. textbooks and teachers present science to children like every scientific claim is always substantiated by testing it in the material world. but that leaves people with a really bad understanding of science by the time they have to actually go interpret complicated discusssions in string theory and quantum field theory which will take a long time to go to some kind of particle accelerator or highly indirect apparatus that was unusual in the early days of science and finally get tested. these days most claims in science actually get tested against highly accurate models of experiments instead of in actual experiments. that's what you actually do when you cross-check a new hypothesis against older equations and existing experiment teams — those equations and memories of experiments are models of experiments. and this is why I find non-Materialist interpretations of literature frustrating. the people saying that fiction is not internally consistent in a way where some claims (although not every claim) can be tested against coherent models of a fictional world's internal physics <em>may not actually understand real-world science</em>, because at the end of the day, taking your best coherent model of <cite>Dragon Ball</cite> and testing something against it and taking your best coherent model of current experiments to understand the universe and testing something against it are not actually all that different. unpopular opinion, building theories about fiction and trying to solve if everything is actually consistent shows you are building a good understanding of the real world. also, most science of historical processes and ideologies would not be done in the real world. if you understand how science truly works, then you'll understand how Marxism truly works and how meta-Marxism truly works. it's very possible I had to invent the category of meta-Marxism purely because people around the world don't understand that most Marxist "experiments" amount to thought experiments or peer review through the means of models of old experiments. I've always been confused why Marxism wasn't already meta-Marxism. why wouldn't Marxists test their models against each other for accuracy, and why would Marxists end up dividing into different competing versions of Marxism that become unfalsifiable?

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Waiting for people to die is hatred / Waiting for people to die is as bad as hatred  ->  there is this really huge contradiction in the way everyone defines prejudices in the United States. normal people believe that every bad thing comes from prejudices. it's bad to be prejudiced. but for some reason it's okay to take the group of everyone who has prejudices and hate it. it's even okay to say things like "when the boomers die out", although logically that should be a prejudiced statement because you don't want them to exist or physically live and you want to squash their inner experience and everything they think and feel. isn't that statement just the act of passively killing them very slowly? I think the bible verse about hatred is truer backward: people dying is the same as hatred, people dying is as bad as hatred. if you frame it that way it's easier to conceptualize what the definition of hatred should actually be. in my mind hatred is when Trotsky exists but you don't like anything about him and you don't want him to exist, and you won't go to the active effort to make it possible for Trotsky to coexist with all the followers of Stalin, actually in real life, actually taking into account the goals and desires of both groups of people and realizing both of them instead of making a compromise that crudely squashes one of them to have the other, like, you have to build a world which realizes Trotskyism to some extent that Trotskyists eventually agree with even though it is limited by the rules of reality, instead of a world which acts to prevent Trotskyism, to the point that Trotskyism and mainstream Marxism-Leninism both exist and they both acknowledge each other as part of each other even though they began with different content and are not the same entity and have to actively get to know a new entity in order to predict and merge with that entity. an odd metaphor when applied to anything else, but it really illustrates what the problem with anything else is: if you want Protestants and Catholics to coexist or White Southern Baptist Christians and Black people to coexist, etc, you need to understand that each countable group of people realizes differently and builds different things and it's the Social-Philosophical-Material content that is realized out of each group of people that brings culture clashes. culture clashes don't come from abstract ideas and attitudes, they come from people realizing clashing material behaviors like Black people are saying slang words like "cook" or whatever it might be and White people actually hate that realized behavior because they prefer another behavior for them to do and everyone to do. a countable group of disabled people realizes the behavior of building ramps and a countable group of able-bodied people wants to realize a different behavior that is most natural in their group. so to get people to stop culture-clashing you actually have to get people to agree on the particular, not the abstract, to actually do and like specific realized behaviors which are not ideas at all but are acts of existing and being in a certain way. if it were true that hatred was an idea, then everyone around the world would immediately love neopronouns and unnecessarily-specific gender labels just because they don't want to be hateful, but that isn't how things work. acceptance and tolerance is always creepily conditioned on how well you can twist and contort normal people to pretend to not be normal and enjoy it as an active way of existing and being and making every daily decision and directing the whole of their Free Will and identity assuming that either of those exist toward the specific end of not being themselves as they were yesterday and being somebody new. it genuinely doesn't make sense to comprehend tolerance through individual freedom, because to truly tolerate someone not just where you're hiding your hatred but at the level where you could become friends is to overwrite and destroy individual identity and freedom, and the only question is whether this is a good thing. I think there's a decent argument to be made that it is, but it is nothing like [[:Category:Existentialist-Structuralist tradition ontology|Existentialism]] and the way that everybody ever tries to comprehend freedom and The Subject. this is a new philosophy I have no name for. I already named entropicism. maybe I should name this one too. this is, uh... the ego-death philosophy of tolerance and friendship, I don't know how to make that snappy. this is the philosophy where instead of Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash being friends and gelling into a team because they're unique different competing individuals who each separately want freedom, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are friends because they agree to become each other in part if never in whole and abandon the parts of them that are harmful to them being friends. under this paradigm, [[E:Starlight Glimmer|Starlight Glimmer]] creates her [[E:Pol Pot|Pol Pot]] village and it's up to the Ponies in it to either become the new culture in part as they become part of the new culture, or leave, and there's nothing heroic about them leaving as individuals versus staying as a group; the village does not have to exist but if it does the success of the village depends on them working together and not being too selfish to be part of society. I wonder how different that show would be if it was written under that ethos. all those weird repetitive "be yourself" plots in the last season would probably be different and maybe even better written. like just imagine if there was an episode where a Pony was getting mocked and bullied in Ponyville or one of the main locations but it was because they were too much of a free individual to stay in Totally Not Eastern Europe; their own greedy individuality [[E:The Soviet diaspora was a second Trail of Tears|left them with nothing and turned them into a minority somewhere else]] constantly getting picked on by others.

I think it's fairly possible to argue this. definitely in fake cases like Bolshevism supposedly having a dictator it applies, but it also applies in real cases like {{Term:Wasp Swarm}}s and Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis, and Protestants joining up with a Protestant king to squash Catholics. it even applies to the fake case of anarchists and Existentialists turning their backs on Trotsky claiming Trotskyists are a collective dictator that is trying to make them conform to Trotskyism. this seems like a solid model of what causes human beings to label things "dictator" or try to define the concept of a [[E:generalized dictator|generalized dictator]].

I think there's a fundamental role played by separate populations such as countries and towns which wasn't well captured by Marx. and I think this is exemplified really clearly and simply by the emergence of early Trotskyism. you look at Trotsky and Zinoviev and their at-most-five-or-so Marxist theorists that started the conspiracy. they just wanted something to belong to, but the Soviet Union didn't really want them, and subtly pushed them out. (they think it wasn't subtle and was so blatant they could outline it like a conspiracy, but that's simply not historically accurate. if anything there was just an undesigned motion of the whole system of people, the central party and ministries and "bureaucrats" and so forth, slowly nudging them out as they didn't fit in and didn't understand it.) Trotsky's accounts of the Russian revolution are, a bit amusingly, often personal stories centered on him, but there is something specific that sifts out of that. the notion that some people are Marxist theorists but the only thing that strongly connects them to anything is a shared bond to a countable culture. you toss Trotsky out of this utterly miraculous bond made of little more than friendship that should never have been able to happen from the point of view of basic Marxist theory and he's going to be pretty mad. the act of tossing out theorists can cause a population to start slowly dividing as if it were some kind of biological cell sorting all the chromosomes into one side and the other side. I think there was a little bit of intellectual dishonesty in the Soviet Union where they did not want to acknowledge the possibility that even if the country would not naturally divide by regenerating the bourgeoisie your local theorists are the glue holding the country together and the whole thing could crack into multiple countries starting from the top. now, it's not like Trotsky was the keystone and if you get rid of him the whole thing comes crumbling down, but it is like the structure could break anywhere but because Trotsky is one of the weakest links ready to snap it all started there. you listen to these dumb capitalist-aligned sources talk about the Soviet Union and they say things like, the ministries and local party-nations were so bloated, having a level of state businesses is too much government, I couldn't stand having soviets in my town!! and basically none of that truly makes any sense. but when you take a perspective more from inside the country you see there were weaknesses most people don't really talk about. countries themselves are fragile in their own way; sometimes it's the simple notion we can make 300 million [[E:Subjects eat and occupy space|eating space-occupying organisms]] coexist instead of fight each other that's arrogant. and so Liberal-republicans will go thinking that sending 200 hostile representatives to compete against each other won't go badly and won't eventually devolve into blood feuds between sections of Alabama. party-nations are a lot less bad, being made on the basis of cooperation to start with. but sometimes there can still be cracks in them that threaten to tear an otherwise united population apart. there hasn't been enough thought in Marxism about the concept that every population is a material object, just as much as a block of ice is a unique material object and it would be a different collection of material objects if you broke it in two. there's been this consistent motif throughout what seems like all Marxism that for any given collection of people the only thing dividing the proletariat is it being stuck under the bourgeoisie and the simple need for everyone to get out of there will unite everyone permanently. but I honestly doubt it's that simple. how can it be that Trotskyists believe this, and early Marxists believe this, and Stalin believes this, but Trotsky and Stalin can get into a fight about how to free everybody around the world and unify everybody around the world? that shouldn't be possible. unless the content of what they are each trying to do is different even when Trotskyists do become Leninists, <em>or</em> there is something fundamental about two groups currently being separate objects that makes them compete and fight until they are literally one object that physically cannot fight itself any more. the latter one scares me a bit so I tend to focus on the first one hoping that one could be true. the notion that we only need to fix the content of our Marxisms and make them interlock together from the inside is a nice idea. I'm not absolutely certain it's true or the most important thing but it does give me a starting point that's not depressing.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S">comrade (mathematics)  ->  this is very close to becoming an actual term. like, the more I pick at graphs and Lattice models and [[E:Beast|Beast]]-based graphs, the more it becomes likely there will be a mathematical definition of what kinds of graph links stay and which ones break. it makes total sense in my head. but it's also hilarious. there would be a certain great comedy in titling an entire chapter of the <cite>MDem</cite> book "Comrade (mathematics)", like it walked straight out of a weird alternate Wikipedia from a different timeline.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="F2">Being Russian has no political character / Being Chinese has no political character  ->  variations of this statement are always said inside First-World countries but never actually applied to other countries sharing the same world with them. practically speaking, whenever anybody inside the First World talks about China it will usually be with contempt that Chinese people even get to have a republic and aren't somehow a United States colony.

</li><li class="field_anarchy" value="618" data-dimension="M3">If people in local-states can live in harmony in Germany, why was there colonialism?  ->  the error here is that people weren't actually living in harmony in Europe. European countries far smaller than the U.S. fought each other in World War I. prior to the United States England was breaking into Protestant and Catholic nations failing to live in harmony. so populations not living in harmony and trying to kill or conquer each other started well before colonies were created on new continents. worse, that isn't the hopeful thing some postcolonial theories want to make it into where all feudalism equals colonialism and <em>therefore</em> anarchism can surely fix it. like, if anarchism was really that easy it would have been discovered in the year 1,000 and we'd be already reading about the wars between Protestants and anarchists in history books. now that <em>does</em> sound like a severely interesting history book but it sadly doesn't exist.

</li><li class="field_anarchy" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Liberalism is postcolonial relative to medieval empires  ->  I would say this is true, although there's a huge drawback as well as a gain. medieval empires ordered countable populations into single populations. there were costs to that. but at the same time, the creation of Liberal-republicanism, "freedom", and "democracy" came at the cost of allowing any two groups of people to "postcolonialize" each other and tear out from under each other's government if they are willing or eager to risk going to war and killing each other's people. anarchists and Liberal-republicans who have coopted anarchism to bash China seem totally unaware of this tradeoff.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Economics is based on scarce houses / Liberal-republican economics is based on scarce houses  ->  quite honestly? I think this gets marked false for the wrong reasons. I think what really happens is economics is based on scarce gold bars or scarce production-acts while the number of houses is separate and irrelevant to what scarcity even practically is and has been. products aren't even scarce, partly because people will swap out non-fungible things for each other in a way that is hard to measure. people will use old things. people will use one thing for the other thing. in the early United States people could just claim land and it wasn't scarce yet. even now, the United States has a great land area. so scarcity of land was created by giving plots of land "brains" and letting them say no. The Subject caused land to be available exactly when it wants to form a graph connection. suddenly it started to become that every product within supply chains was synonymous with arrangements of people and the availability of people-graphs — with these diminishing pyramids of how much choice people actually have in being part of a people-graph. that's the really dumb thing about the cybernetics research group — if capitalism were actually about "time" or decision-making, then you wouldn't be able to stop it because it would have taken up all your Free Will and decision-making ability before you could even think about stopping it and build a cybernetics research group. Free Will and the ability to affect history are incidental to capitalism, which is why people can resist it no matter how much it takes away people's "time" and "control".

</li><li class="field_anarchy" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Totalitarianism either exists for all ideologies or none / Totalitarianism either exists for all republican ideologies or no republican ideologies / Center-Liberal neutrality can be extreme / There can be too much center-Liberal republicanism / If totalitarianism is real, it is possible for there to be center-Liberal totalitarianism (although if it is not real, there is not)  ->  the whole bogus concept of the "center-Liberal middle way" is flat-out false when you think about it enough and when you observe real-life events. if everything is defined by the existence of extremes (and moderation), then the mere realization of ideologies from nothing is defined by extremes, and the realization of ideologies starting at one person and colliding with another person of a different ideology is defined by extremes. the thing that really made this obvious for me was thinking about microdistricts and how to some people microdistricts are oppressive. if you think that way, then you think Freedom is the ability for any individual to grow as a separate organism and expand in any direction regardless of the consequences to other people. when millions of people take this position it typically creates Liberalism. but every ideology realizes. every ideology realizes specifically <em>itself</em> as a countable concept, and realizes more of itself the more it exists. if Liberal-republicanism exists and exists and exists and squashes everything that's not Liberal-republicanism under the guise of Freedom, it doesn't stop growing, and it just keeps realizing more and more Liberalism on top of Liberalism, vertically, going from just a little Liberalism to Liberalism Liberalism Liberalism Liberalism in stacks and stacks and stacks. effectively, the longer Liberalism goes, the more it seeks to control people and <em>make</em> them do what Liberalism wants them to do, extending down into individual lives and the fine tiny-scale structure of the country and getting really really specific about what every little bit of it has to be. and when a republic gets ridiculously specific, what is the difference between that and people's popular conception of "totalitarianism"? you might be able to claim the same for Bolshevism, but that doesn't allow you to deny the possibility that Liberalism does it and when Liberalism does it that is unacceptable. the only way you can get out of that contradiction, that Liberalism should be unacceptable under Liberalism, is to conclude that totalitarianism doesn't exist and what you were actually complaining about is simply that you don't like Bolshevism or rightfully don't like European fascism. because when you have Bolshevism you just get more and more Bolshevism with more and more fine details, because that's the content of Bolshevism. it really seems that the exact same thing is true of Liberalism. that we all keep realizing more and more Liberalism than there was before because for some reason everybody <em>wants</em> the population to develop and develop into Liberalism so they all continuously realize Liberalism and enforce everyone turning into the bourgeoisie. (I believe this is because inside it all people are actually participating in and regenerating [[:Category:Existentialist-Structuralist tradition ontology|Existentialism]] and getting Liberalism as an emergent effect.)

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">If attacking religion is bad, then attacking people's faith in Donald Trump is also bad  ->  what becomes logically true if you strictly hold that it is wrong to tell people religion is not materially true. it's bad to tell people that religion is not accurate to reality because that's <em>always, inevitably</em> a microaggression against countable cultures, and microaggressions are unthinkable? okay, let's roll with that. sociologically, people's fascination with political candidates serves a very similar role to religion, grouping them into countable cultures and giving them something to hope for by giving them other people to support them and someone to lead them as a group. it's the sheer act of putting people into a group which has the material power to fight and crush other groups that gives people hope; said another way, any act of hiding in a group to gain hope is an act of [[Term:magic ritual|magic ritual]]. it can be argued that magic ritual is sacred in the sense that anyone who does not respect it is simply bashing countable cultures and refusing to be friends with them and understand their point of view. therefore, when people band together behind Donald Trump to protect them from progressives, listen to Fox News, and get together to push demographics out of everywhere and out of the United States, all of that must be understood as an indispensable cultural tradition. this statement is contradictory, of course. if all religions and spiritualities are indispensable cultural traditions, but one of them is built on oppressing the others, but it's still an indispensable cultural tradition in practice, then allowing religion naturally leads to <em>religion itself</em> forcefully extincting religion and magic ritual — just because it is religion. tolerance and "moderation" are not a substitute for historical materialism and the material study of ongoing interaction between populations, and really never have been.

I wish the United States would drop the concept that "systemic" problems are made of ideas and attitudes when that is not at all what "system" usually means, and what it almost always suggests is an arrangement of material moving parts which is distinguishable from other arrangements of moving parts. if all "systems" are just clouds of individuals they aren't distinct from each other as systems and you can't change them. well, unless you literally forcibly change ethnicities and demographics themselves, given that clouds of individuals are equivalent to countable cultures.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="S">gunning down kulaks with machine guns / kulaks — what are you going to do with them? (censored label)  ->  the anticommunists said it first, not me. {{YouTube|FuUZEO7nZnw}}<br />
I think the question to ask here on motifs like these is this. if you don't arrest the kulaks and put them in Gulag or whatever happens to them, and you insist on tent of freedom poles, what hypothetically happens? assume that whatever they did was relatively bad. they did something at least as morally questionable as casually posting on twitter that "when I say 13% of the population commits 50% of the crimes they all get so fired up but they know they're wrong and pathetic". on rare occasion there are recorded historical incidents where kulak types would shoot well-liked public officials if they had the opportunity. they're your "January-6ers". they're bad news. so what are you going to do with those? they're not going to listen to anything you say just because they strive to be nice. if they could retreat to their peasant life and survive but watch 90% of society die, which in the kulaks' case they can, there's a nonzero chance they'd be the kind of person to just take that option, which we have decent reason to believe looks closer to 50% than 1%. kulaks aren't the ones dutifully paying taxes to help people exist. so what are you going to do with them?<br />
the typical answer you see is "community". "community, community, community", as if culture and community have the power to solve everything. but let's say that actually worked. everyone bombards the kulaks with good values. they don't behave. they don't want to contribute. they act like people trying to integrate them into a community is uncalled for. people ramp up efforts to saturate everyone with Community. when the kulaks don't participate everyone just starts utterly boycotting them and going "you can't buy products from that region, that's where the kulaks live and they don't like Community, you have to buy from these good regions". they effectively isolate all the kulaks into an island and turn them into their own tiny nation that is being embargoed and starved of anything they can't create themselves. this only exacerbates tensions between the two groups of people. if people recognized as being from the kulak region go into one of the progressive cities they're going to be treated with utter prejudice. if any of the progressive regions go through a really hard time and we assume the Soviet population is anarchist instead of Communist, some people are just going to attack the kulaks and steal their stuff because they feel like that's the justified thing to do to people that have spat in their face and never helped them. the whole thing would start morphing into a warring states period or a blood feud really really quickly. you're going to be killing them or firing guns at them one day just because you belong to two incompatible populations that don't want to be part of one Community while anarchists are busy enforcing a wrong model that Community is universal and automatic. if you really want to not kill the kulaks then it's a very bad idea to be an anarchist <em>or</em> a psychoanalyst, no matter who you are, even right this second. you have a far greater chance of an outcome where they keep their lives if you allow Bolshevism and you allow a central government to enforce laws on every population rather than making everything about the social relationships between individuals or populations, which can turn very abusive.

I feel like the mere existence of a huge population and a small population {{caps|is}} colonialism to some extent — particularly if you want to say "colonialism" is largely defined as prejudice and populations hating each other rather than as physical global empire. I feel like you could have a world where every White person transitioned to postcolonial anarchism and the indigenous populations were still experiencing racism, and maybe even upset that White people are trying to be part of a single countable culture while marginalizing other parts of it almost exactly the way people assert everyone in Liberal-republicanism is part of the same society and then marginalize people out of society.

I definitely didn't mean to imply that. but this is what happens when absolutely everybody around you is anarchy-brained and convinced the United States will totally avoid any shred of Marxism and purely go through a transition to Anarchism. it was in the entries about "Red Structuralism" (Marxism onto [[:Category:Existentialist-Structuralist tradition ontology|Existentialism-Structuralism]]), where I said something to the effect that Existentialists were trying to do absolutely everything that would happen in an active transition through socialism <em>before</em> creating a workers' state and it was an open question whether that could in fact potentially work. the subtext below that statement, especially if I'd said the same thing today, was that you might end up with a uniquely Anarchist, charcoal-tinted workers' state. so, the real crux there is the difference between Marxist and anarchist workers' states, and whether a "charcoal" workers' state has a plausible realization process. most of the time I want to say the answer is no, but the pain of having to operate in a society and movement landscape where almost literally everybody is an Existentialist pretending anarchism is Liberal-republicanism or an unapologetic fascistic Tory but you still supposedly have to "work within The Left" to [[Term:filtration|filter]] it really messes with your head.

Isaac Newton didn't know there wasn't one big linear flow of spacetime, so he cursed science with "linear time". then Albert Einstein showed up and laid out a model where if anything has an approximately linear flow of time then there are billions of them going in parallel and none of them is "the real one". so, we start with relativity. for any particular Group Subject with so-called "cybernetic flows" inside, let's say it's a Trotskyist party to be funny, that Group Subject [[Term:reterminism|retermines]] stuff about itself using its internal elements and the things immediately surrounding it. if there is a big bad Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the way, the Trotskyist party will do what it can to plan around its environment and realize Trotskyism, its preferred so-called "fiction". this happens on a timetable specific to and emerging from the Trotskyist party, while the CPSU may have a different timeline of how it wants to realize its own plans. there is nothing particularly cosmic about this in a magic-ritual or sci-fi time travel sense. the CPSU doesn't actually distort spacetime and take causality away from the Trotskyist party. both of them still have a timeline on which they can act to the degree they are capable. but, even so, when the two groups interact with their surrounding reality and each other, some possibilities collapse into more disappointing ones as a product of all the directions of interaction. whatever "fiction" (sociophilosophy or ontology) you come up with, it will always be affected by the presence of other "fictions" busy realizing themselves in relativistic time. all the fictions are realizing at once, some of them succeeding and some of them not succeeding, and the ones that don't successfully realize only keep getting screwed over by the successful ones in a vicious cycle. so the deal with Newtonian linear time is that it's an effect of sociophilosophies defeating each other, not a cause. linear time is only an outward perception of the result of what happened, but because it's a result, you can't simply fight it to fix the inner causal process. man. if the chaos magicians had just stopped with the notion of realizing fictions and never ever said anything about time, I would have been more receptive to it.

I think there's at least some amount of an argument, maybe not rock-solid exactly, that it understands art on a higher level. the level where art has already succeeded and transported us to the new reality it has fabricated. shouldn't it be the highest praise of art having succeeded when people are actually living in that reality for a moment?

I think anarchism is full of special pleading that anarchism is inherently better just because it's anarchism. and I think in a sense you really can't expect anything else, because this is how all ideologies actually work. anarchists cluster together, Communist allies cluster together, Tories cluster together, as if they were ethnicities or some other demographic, then they protect each other and determine their ideology as a group.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Individual relationships cannot be molecularized  ->  meta-Marxism makes the distinction between molecularizing a significantly large group of people by joining them all into a viable population-society whose particular workings can be described to fine scales ("molecular" scales), and attempting to molecularize two or three people. that's not the point of molecularizing. the point of molecularizing is to make it possible to create a [[Term:capable subpopulation|capable subpopulation]], especially a proletarian subpopulation or something that functions similarly enough to do Marxism. yet the geophilosophy summary throws out the concept of a "hierarchy" of two people in this transparently anarchist way. [https://www.protevi.com/john/SEDAAG.pdf] I'll say it out loud: two people is not a hierarchy. in the medieval sense, a hierarchy covers a whole kingdom, or a significantly large local state likely not bigger than Italy. words are whatever, but that's the definition of why hierarchies are <em>actually important to anything</em>. because they're big. the concept of hierarchy is not relevant to the study of historical revolutions unless you have a concept of hierarchy which refers to large structures instead of specifically to relationships. anyway. the major fallacy here is thinking that forming a population-society will not cause new "hierarchies", when in reality it could, simply as a requirement of realizing itself into a viable structure. it could be that you have to form things the anarchists think are "hierarchies" to get a large group of people free from something larger than that. to not admit that is basically to commit Trotsky's world population fallacy and erase the existence of countable cultures and ethnicity and language and religion and racism. the differences populations raise between themselves are connected to the existence of populations as separate interacting objects, which creates borders, which creates internal structure and Archons. this is why you need to conceptualize freedom as a different internal structure (subpopulation, movement, Social-Philosophical System) within the same populational unit or units.

[https://www.protevi.com/john/SEDAAG.pdf] this claim was just barely unsaid but could smell it all over the thing. why are people like this? why is determinism so scary to them? as I say, I swear most people don't even know what determinism is. determinism is the mere ability to describe things as differential equations and manifolds, like Deleuze did. he used it to explain Hegel. if there isn't determinism you couldn't describe everything with math. I find almost nothing more baffling than the way psychoanalysts (and schizoanalysis) are absolutely obsessed with math almost more than scientists are and then they also get obsessed with the individual and how you supposedly have to resist anything that could threaten to predetermine The Subject. why does nobody see the terrible contradiction between these two things? I swear we should just abolish the term scientism and make a new term of math-ism when you're over-applying math. that would make Marxism challenging but still possible. it would kill psychoanalysis though

I get where he's coming from to say that "multiplicities" always <em>start out</em> never fully possible to differentiate. but they can fully differentiate, even to the point they'll never go back. we wouldn't be talking about the implications of a Soviet Union existing versus there not being a Soviet Union, because they'd be the same republics of people either way. there would be no national independence movements if this claim were fully true. there'd still be a British empire. we'd all be arguing about how to represent everyone within the British empire without breaking it up, just because we all "know" civilizations never ever break up. god, like. Deleuze. have you ever been a Trotskyist. that's a silly question to pretty much everyone but genuinely, have you ever had to deal with groups of people breaking apart and not going back together? if you actually did you'd know that things really do differentiate. there's almost an entropy arrow for groups of people just like there is for chemistry, where when a group of people breaks apart there are specific "chemistry" changes that make that tearing apart hard to run backwards. this is part of the definition of history, I feel like. the entropy arrow that makes things like a national independence movement or an organization disintegrating hard to reverse and more of a permanent creation of new conditions, new characteristics for the involved entities.

I have to admit though, taken out of context this statement is pretty funny. it's one of those statements only a philosopher could come up with, but at least it's creative. rather ironic given the purpose of the statement. this statement was supposed to be a statement that "analyses" were too difficult to think through while intuition was easier. but really it's a very unintuitive statement which doesn't sound much like a description of the intuitive mind at all. to me, nobody would intuitively think of a scientific model in terms of how far it divides things. when he described the infinite ruler, literally, my intuitive thought was "why not just use a variable? just pick an arbitrary distance x and start measuring everything in terms of x". for anyone that actually knows science, you'd <em>intuitively</em> jump to Newtonian physics or quantum physics or the appropriately rounded-off model where processes are already generalized at the perfect level. grade school science exists because science is not difficult to make intuitive.

Liberal-republicanism can seem so pointless at times because although people <em>sort of</em> get to argue over the rights of demographic subpopulations, there is this tiny crust of representatives and experts and owners that actually "receives" the rights when most people don't even really get anything. are you a disabled senator? movements for human rights will probably be perfect for you. are you anybody else? tough luck. this is the thing. I make fun of Trotskyism and anarchism at times because sometimes they really have no idea what they're even saying. but at the core of it you have this very sympathetic problem of the book-intelligent Trotsky figure who should be good for something and is thrown out of his society because this particular crust of really elite representatives who are good at what they do and better at things than anyone else totally invalidates the guy as having any place in the country and leaves him not able to articulate what the problem with anything even is beyond "I think I am mad at The Bureaucrats". and I'm tired of that too. on one hand people need to not have entirely stupid interpretations of Marxism, but on the other, if they would only listen, I don't really want people thrown out like that.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Anarchism can understand The State if it understands anarchy / Anarchism can have a reasonable explanation of The State if it has a reasonable model of anarchy  ->  apply meta-Marxism to anarchism, and a lot of the frustration goes away, as long as you can briefly explain what anarchist secret operations are actually defending. as long as an anarchist population is something in particular, then all the logical contradictions relating to anarchism and The State and hierarchy become matters of how words are defined rather than real problems. the anarchist population that is a particular thing orders and administers itself in a particular way and defends the population in a particular way and everything is logically coherent, it nicely fits into history as a material entity... if you can only explain what the Rhizomatically-composed anarchist population {{em|actually is}} at the time all the cats have slain the boars and the dust settles.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Any reasonable definition of The State must be able to explain the historical process of national independence movements  ->  one of the barest criteria for judging whether anarchists are spouting nonsense. The State forms in plurality as populations dividing into plurality differentiate into tribes or nations. if anarchists can't explain why a country such as Ukraine would form a nation-state separate from Russia, or North Korea or East Germany would form a nation-state separate from the major axes of Liberal-republican countries, they are not ready to tell anyone else about The State.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Wars are hierarchical  ->  I think there's a pretty good argument for this given <em>any</em> definition of what a hierarchy is. given the medieval definition of a layout of people which is conflated with owning individuals of particular classes, a war easily turns into a Napoleonist phenomenon with one "core" population-government stomping over the top of the other and trying to extract debts or treaties. given the crude definition of "hierarchy" (prejudice) used by anarchists, a war is the act of leaping one State over another population to enforce a particular way of being, which is to say one population is more important than another. this is the fundamental contradiction that comes up whenever an anarchism tries to build itself entirely out of secret operations. that turns the whole thing into a hierarchical activity putting one Social-Philosophical System over another Social-Philosophical System. this wouldn't be a problem if the SPS in question wasn't an anarchism, and was a Marxism or something. Che can try to make the case that a Marxist war on another country that only takes out the owners is justified, because he's not basing his entire theory on "hierarchy" and whether hierarchy is bad, he is basing the justification for wielding power on how important it is to realize a proletarian civilization. all Marxisms know on some level that they are an incomplete group of people competing against the rest of the world, and the concept of hierarchy isn't good for describing an all-directional conflict, but anarchisms somehow don't know that.

this is the value of modeling the Trotskyite conspiracy as its own tiny emerging country. you finally have a model which can sort out all the {{censor|bullshit}} associated with anarchism and finally get a Materialist theory of how to understand the creation or development of anarchism (or its particular variety of secret operations).

</li><li class="field_anarchy" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Civilians are a cultural fabrication / Civilians are a social construct  ->  I think this is the major fallacy the deep end of anarchism believes. it's obvious to Marxists that there exists such a thing as civilians, and maybe even that the existence of civilians creates the boundaries between different countable Cultures and different parallel national histories. but it doesn't seem like anarchists find that obvious. they seem to easily devolve into a whole population of soldiers or FBI agents with no civilians out of some weird tendency to assume that anyone who is a civilian is being programmed not to resist The State — as if there is just one State and not one separate State for every population including some political parties or ethnicities inside national populations. newsflash, deep-end anarchists: you are The State. you've transformed your whole population into The State. the only question remaining is whether that's categorically bad, which admittedly is an open question.

</li><li class="field_trotsky" value="618" data-dimension="S">secret operation attacks, random people harassed / secret operation made some attacks, random other people harassed by The State  ->  this is one of my biggest problems with making everything secret operations. the Soviet Union is widely known as a place where people were "reporting each other to stay out of trouble". but this is specifically as viewed from a Trotskyite perspective. if you were a Trotskyite, you'd be hiding out making trouble while The State hunts down random people they think are you, and indeed, perhaps some people are doing everything just not to get caught up in it. but in the end, the Trotskyites' efforts were terribly unsuccessful and resulted in widespread prejudices against Trotskyism for anyone who continued to pick up Marxism — under a decade of attacks resulted in prejudices lasting almost a century. as much as if you ask Trotsky all the secret operations were just a side thing to the effort to ostensibly create a better Leninism, no "other" Leninist ever sees it that way, and you don't even really see Western Marxists lining up with Trotsky raring to create a worldwide Marxism as if Western Marxism and Trotskyism are the same thing but in the end Menshevism isn't. everyone more or less thinks Trotskyites will hurt them. Existentialist-Structuralists and the bourgeoisie, maybe justifiably if Trotskyists knew anything. mainstream Marxist-Leninists are afraid of Trotskyists because they think there will be another secret operation to explode workers' states that basically dumps a cascade of racism on Third World countries for no reason. anarchists are afraid of Trotskyists because if they know anything they will build Hierarchy and The Bureaucracy (ironically). I think the history of secret operations as they have already happened shows that anarchism really isn't what anarchists think it is. no matter how nice or how violent anarchism is, it's always the formation of a new countable Culture, which is localized to not all the world's people and has to have a border because it has new internal content. you can theoretically tear open a revolution on any basis, not worrying about who is and isn't the proletariat, but if you do that you absolutely must know what its internal content is. you have to have rudimentary knowledge of the structure of the new society in order to stabilize the new forming entity which inevitably won't contain all the world's people and will inevitably have a border.

I do know it's not fascism, as that would have to be at least a little more premeditated and specific. I think this is just some weird phenomenon of societal mitosis where regardless of where classes are at populations simply go insane and rip themselves in two. they think they're achieving something by "doing something" and carrying out attacks, but they're actually going precisely nowhere. the crisis that populations go through is that people stop being able to expand into and over each other even though everyone is expanding, and the easiest, crudest way to resolve it is to just take the population and rip it anywhere so there is one more hard border between all the expansion, or at least so that there is no more expectation that if the new populations expand over each other there won't be war. it's like one of the best results of these "stress fractures" would be East Germany, which is what happens when the proletarian subpopulation or lowest-ranked people all end up on one side of the rift and the high-ranked people end up on the other. this + ??? = East Germany is indistinguishable from an anarchism

I can't help but feel like psychohistory is terribly reductive. in a world where it is super forbidden to ask why people have identities, psychohistory would probe the whole existence of culture in a mechanical way and ask why people are German. people should know by now that populational identity is a circular thing where being it is having membership in it. a big reason anyone is in religion any more in the United States is they perform the behaviors to have a group of people to be in. the same goes doubly true for Trump fans. they're all just performing those behaviors to form a group, which falls apart and leaves them isolated as soon as they stop; worse, if they fail to perform the set of arbitrary behaviors the Democrats want they'll be thrown out of that and left wholly confused.

"all people" always live in some particular area, but each town constitutes a separate population such that "all people" is multiple separate groups of people. to successfully receive housing a person has to first pick between the two towns, and in turn may be picking between an entirely separate countable Culture and government, as if every town was a separate nation-state. this has important consequences for any form of "democracy": the Demos is always split into multiple Demotes each creating separate Democracies, and discussions on issues can always become skewed as people get forced into one Democracy or the other.

"xenophobia and choosing to do terrible things to another group of people cannot be termed natural" okay. "a small group of people had to actively do this" you're beginning to lose me but, okay, technically correct. "if everybody has the right attitude and coheres together like A Community we can fix this" how? any way of doing that given the first two implications you said effectively creates The State. you have just defined the concept of crimes and criminals and hunting down criminals, and that imperialists and billionaires are criminals. how the hell does having a better attitude or emerging countable Culture make that go away and make you not need what amount to anarchist police or the anarchist national guard that has the explicit authority to kill people for being criminals, deport them, or put them in prison?? every time I think of a real event of millions of people uniting to stop something as uniquely bad and unnecessary, that's either a law or law enforcement. or, well, sometimes it's a highly xenophobic anti-Arab "assassinate the evil monstrous American-slaying threat" mission, AKA an international blood feud. you can have a phenomenon to excise an unwanted "villain" from a population that isn't law enforcement but <em>is</em> pure bigoted violence. this is why every Communist movement is the enforcement of Communist laws: so that nobody is authorized to kill people just because they're another ethnicity or another demographic, and the violence comes to a stop when people are acquainted with the new external borders, internal structural borders, and ideology.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S">interdemocracy between eating, breathing space-occupiers  ->  the only way out of capitalism. Liberal-republicanism very vaguely recognizes the idea of interdemocracy, but not the concept of people actually being living things that eat and occupy space. anarchism partially recognizes people as living, breathing organisms, but totally rejects the concept of interdemocracy. Marxism has never been properly ready for interdemocracy between Marxisms. a "democracy" of existence itself and populations themselves would be a genuinely new thing.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Any ideology which would toss one specific Archon in prison to fix a population and change nothing else is an anarchism  ->  I'm not sure if this is true, but it certainly seems like a decent distinction between Marxist versus non-Marxist ideologies. alternatively, it could be the distinction between Marxism and Existentialism, where anarchism and Existentialism are not the same thing. I think one potential problem with this is it threatens to label Deng Xiaoping Thought a named Anarchism; in practice it tends to run on things like regulating capitalism by finding specific bad actors and bringing down penalties on them while leaving everyone else "free" of state intervention to do capitalism. that doesn't feel like a correct categorization. I think it's fair to claim that anarchism doesn't truly exclude a State from forming in real life, and real-life Anarchisms probably <em>will</em> have States, but even so I don't think a huge party-nation with a parliament building sounds like an Anarchism. I definitely don't know enough anarchist theory to say why. all I know is from the angle of Marxism if you have chunk competition and elite winners of Careerism or investing who take charge of particular chunks, practically speaking those should be the Archons, and anything which is purposefully leaving Archons around materially couldn't construct a logically-coherent realizable named Anarchism as a theory, so it shouldn't make sense to call it anarchism right now.
</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Regulating businesses is anarchism  ->  it sounds weird to any anarchists, but it's the logical conclusion of getting rid of hierarchy being about tossing out specific bad actors who are the Archons. you've got potentially half a million Archons to toss in prison for violations, are you really ready for that much statism?

</li><li class="field_anarchy" value="618" data-dimension="S">ring of non-competing businesses versus expansion / distinction between stability and expansion  ->  the existence of anarchist theories seems to come not from any distinction between workers and owners, but from the distinction between a stable ring of non-competing tiny businesses and a chaotic clamor of businesses expanding from tiny to larger. the distinction between tiny businesses and larger businesses appears right before the proletariat proper even comes to exist, and in that sense it's a very archaic conflict from an early stage of populational development.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Anything that removes colonialism from an empire is a revolution  ->  this would be following from the claim that any government emerges directly from a population of people itself and the class or rank structure inside that population; whenever you remove the upper class or the Archon you change the resulting government and the population's entire paradigm about government. colonialism, depending on your definition, is the actions of a few particularly malicious Archons (India), or the expansion of a population onto another continent or country mediated by the highest-ranking people who are the most able to secure territory that the more common people stand behind to get handed the ability to produce a sellable product and feed their kids (United States, maybe South Africa or Ireland, but not India).

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Filling an area with people in order to instate a government is colonialism  ->  how do you disqualify Gramscianism from being an instance of this? for that matter, how do you disqualify Liberal-republicanism from inherently being an instance of this even when it's governed by progressives? I would say indigenous or previous people-groups are exempt and they can't forcibly occupy a territory that was invaded by somebody else. but beyond that, how can you possibly argue that an LGBT+black&brown party isn't colonialism unless it dismantles Liberalism and somehow creates a new government that materially isn't colonial? anything that actually, successfully removes colonialism is definitionally a revolution, and nobody wants to acknowledge that.

Jewish texts were passed to Jewish Christians, who then were Christians, and then I think what basically happened was Christianity was divided into common people and literal emperors and the emperors or upper classes of each kingdom overshadowed everyone else and created the new interpretation. the whole issue of people "misinterpreting" Christianity is bizarrely a class issue from the moment it first appeared all the way through to today.

I am still confused and trying to figure out how the hell a Communist text was totally appropriated by anticommunists to mean that somehow we can purge racism out of everything and we have to before there can be workers' movements.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Snatching Marxist texts to achieve center-Liberalism is cultural appropriation  ->  more of an "interesting thought" than a solid argument. relies on the concept of a "culturally-defined Communist" in the sense of an East German, etc., emerging as a nationality whose nationality is then appropriated.

I think that's a really difficult question. but the one thing I know is Epic-of-Gilgamesh type stories are a really bad way to go about it. if Sun Wukong wants to preserve his population... isn't that what every population wants? doesn't every single population not want to be subject to genocide? so, to cast the concept of preserving a population through the lens of an individual king wanting to stay in power just seems totally wrong. existence is not a king, but more like the republic itself. it doesn't make sense to characterize existence as a form of power that needs to be limited as much as something you want to take the locus of power out of and understand as a bunch of connected moving parts.

I have been kicking around this concept for a quite a while in MDem drafts, but up to now it has always been through the lens of emerging nation-states and the development of different forms of "democracy", rather than through the lens of capitalism. multicapitalism refers to the creation of multiple capitalist blocs inside the same country which function as different nations tearing apart the overall country <em>because</em> they are disconnected blocs of capitalists.

I mean, it's true that the concept of individual effort being connected to the ability of individuals or towns to live is bogus. there are many kinds of effort that are simply wasted, and where "laziness" would have been just as good. primitive Existentialism sucks. but the real problem with people "being lazy" is that towns need a balance of particular things and individuals need a particular amount of connection to other people that recognize them as useful (income) to raise their children. it doesn't seem like the streamers who are arguing that YouTube channels are productive have thought through what would would happen if all the people doing important basic things in other towns turned out to be reactionaries and disconnected from them. so, the only kind of laziness that exists is people being lazy about forming the correct social graphs that are totally resistant to reactionaries. but almost everyone has it.

edit: there's a second way of looking at this, which is a bit simpler.

are there ways Existentialists and anarchists can try to refute this? of course. one of them is to say that war is good and Europe is thriving because World War I happened but it ended — the United States isn't thriving because no other empire was there to challenge it on the same level, so it stomped the other populations and wilfully started fighting itself. if you think this is an atrocious state of affairs, that's fair, but it does line up with the history of civilizations over the past century where a ton of conflicts have been between giant global powers over the top of buffer states, notably Poland and East Germany. "Communities" can't halt their own expansion with just Community.<br />

I kept thinking, the protagonist speaks like no actual human being and the characters don't talk about anything as if they were experiencing it as much as if everything was a bunch of floating propositions. but then I saw the game get polished from its earlier drafts to where it was a little more convincing. so maybe none of this is bad writing. maybe the game is planning some crazy twist where the things all the characters were saying at first weren't meant to be believable, and were all misdirects. maybe it's here to blow our minds by first setting up a strange, surreal, not-quite-believable setting of dragon capitalism and then the actual point is to shatter those expectations and show that genuinely none of it made any sense and here's the way dragons are supposed to live instead. the funny thing? if that was the point I'd probably like the story. you didn't portray civilizations as utopian, but you did metatransitional realism instead of just [[redlink - Wings of Fire|assuming]] dragon tribes are made of culture and Free Will. even if the depicted transition is effectively an Anarchism that is an achievement.

I know Chinese people believe in Confucianism sometimes and that's technically culture and it's also a conscious choice but you see it's not Ideals because it's not inside individuals even though individuals ultimately made it up. yes, Power Rangers believe in Ideals. yes, [https://zootopia.fandom.com/wiki/Judy_Hopps Judy Hopps] believes in Ideals. no, the herbivore population doesn't join together around Ideals and become a Culture. stereotypes are not Ideals, Timmy. oh. oh no... you'll have to repeat that. "Reshiram and Zekrom are truth and ideals but if you have too much Ideals the society blows up so they have to be balanced but truth is also Ideals so the good Ideals never win out". Timmy.

The State mediates conflicts over the ability of social chunks to eat and occupy space. when Liberal-republican "democracy" is created the representatives of different chunks all contribute to creating The State, although the representatives do not equal The People. what this means practically is chunks of people compete for the right to submit the set of ideas that will rule everyone. but even if representatives were perfect reflections, The People don't really choose what sets of ideas they believe as individuals, they determine them as whole groups that already enforce group ideas on all their individuals. there is something like a tiny undemocratic "republic" inside groups of people before there is any government at all, or even any capitalists — essentially, The Spanishness Office. (the big mistake people make is less thinking it exists at all than thinking it's controllable.) as a result, the Spaniards Machine sputters along spitting out both what people are going to believe and who people's representatives will be, designing and placing people to obey it while oppressing them at the same time; there isn't even really any "manufacturing consent" step in the middle where people choose to be oppressed, the reason people support bad things is they're literally already part of them from the beginning, before they're educated, before anything. ISAs <em>are</em> the societies while The State is their apparatus. anyway. chunks of people which already contain Spaniards Machines generate representatives that represent the Spaniards Machine, the Social-Philosophical System. this leads to Social-Philosophical Systems themselves pushing each other back and forth fighting over parliament (hegemony politics), and fighting over the country. each Spaniards Machine <em>is</em> a tiny nation of ideas already, even if it may also have racist ideas that it is a superior cluster of White people, or whatever. this means when they fight each other over a republic, and inevitably play hegemony politics of "this is a rust country now", "this is a sky country now and all the rust people have to obey sky rules continuously spat out every day by the sky-colored Spaniards Machine", all they can practically achieve is creating a population-to-population hierarchy of one Spaniards Machine directly ruling the other.

like let's break this statement down. what is essentialism? it's enforcing particular mandatory characteristics on something that are claimed to be in it from the dawn of time. what's strategic essentialism? it's creating people who must unite around a specific definition of what they are. now, how can that be anti-essentialist? whether it's anti-essentialist has nothing to do with whether it's good or bad, it can be good either way. why argue that it's anti-essentialist? what does that get anyone?<br />
this is the shovel dream of Existentialism being a method of physically organizing individuals into identity groups. Existentialism is partly a theory that people can only be arranged by whether arbitrary tribes of people like each other and want to be friends or want to shatter apart and fight each other at which point you can't keep them together — very bad theory for solving racism, as it horribly contradicts itself when it comes time to force racists to be friends with Black people that they utterly hate and want Freedom from. this causes people to think of everything in terms of prejudice and essentializing people into stereotypes, and to make up weird statements like grouping people into a movement being a way to fight against The Stereotypers, therefore it's "anti-essentialist", even though it's rather literally not. it's as essentialist as Stalin saying Georgians have to do specific plans as Georgia and sending it to the several people making up Stalin's government to be stamped. which is forbidden as evil Totalization because Communists are The Stereotypers against The Nice People in the United States who are bourgeoisie. please, Existentialists, please be intellectually honest for once. it's exhausting to have to solve everything you say like a math problem.

I saw this claim in <cite>Existential Physics</cite> that you couldn't simulate a human mind without creating a human mind, and by extension you couldn't duplicate a human mind anywhere else without creating a second individual. the thing nobody realizes is that this is also true of a coffee machine. the most accurate model of how a coffee machine functions would <em>be</em> a coffee machine, in the sense the most accurate model of an Agumon would be a living creature. but you cannot shift a simulated coffee machine into reality without manually duplicating the coffee machine, any more than you can the Agumon. what this means is there is actual physical stuff in the universe between information. you can call every arrangement of things information but that information is always <em>made of</em> stuff. the crux of general relativity is that things are <em>made of</em> stuff. that's why everything can be a reference frame. because there are objects, and all the interesting stuff can only be seen while standing on them. some of the objects are really small and constantly re-divide themselves, because they're hardly big enough to even hold together, and that's okay, because we still see the interactions they create clearly enough that we can stand on them and call them objects. then more interactions and information happen between atoms, and so forth.

entanglement is one of the only exceptions, but entanglement is just basically what happens when you try to measure the color that each of the quarks is pointing. they are definitely pointing one of the three colors, but the color force is going so fast you never know which quark has which one of them. the outside observation and inside state are wildly out of sync. the only thing you know is the direction of each quark depends on the other two. [https://modern-physics.org/quantum-entanglement-in-qcd/ that's entanglement]. the only thing that makes it confusing is that it can operate on strangely large scales for a process that is supposed to be really small.

"Filament of people conquer space and control it" is one of the only things that's worth anything. it solves great abuses, after also having created them. how different are collections of workers serving built-up Audiences from collections of lab cats? how do we know when a protest is meaningful versus when people are just chunk-competing over an area meaninglessly and different people controlling it won't actually make anything change?

I don't fully know yet how that fixes racism, but I've got a fairly good idea how that unites Stalin and Trotsky, or Existentialism and Marxism. there's no huge distinction between sociophilosophy and culture that makes one not the other, so there probably is a way.

I don't know whether I feel positively or negatively about it. I think it is true that ontologies can always make errors, and we need the ability to pick incorrect ontologies apart to properly investigate the world and learn what is accurate in a scientific sense. but I have never really liked the notion that signs are an inherent form of power. it takes some unpacking. I <em>have</em> argued that Lacanian discipline is bogus because people can oppressively teach each other the wrong things. but is that all because of signs, rather than people? I'm not sure I'd say that. my thoughts right now are, the video I watched said that letting signs be is allowing metaphysical divisions of reality into arbitrary elements. which I half agree with. but then it said that the notion of breaking up sign monopolies is defeating metaphysics. and I feel like there's an error there. whenever we try to think that power is a deliberate thing somebody grabs and choppify things or push individuals back to stop power grabs and push the world into "balance", I feel like that's the moment we truly construct metaphysics. metaphysics lies not in the construction of specific categories but in the sheer false idea the world can be in perfect balance when it is always growing and changing. modern metaphysics is an empty vessel. a perfectly-balanced wheel of constantly-changing empty vessels that can grow and change and deconstruct themselves but are always in conflict, always hating each other, always trying to smash each other to break each other's power and then accusing each other of being the real power-grabbers. that's what metaphysics is now, not the content.

I wouldn't say it's false, it's probably true, but oh boy it's not my favorite. sure, we need to be aware of the plurality of philosophies each perceiving the world through themselves. but I think meta-philosophy is totally possible. I think it's totally possible to step outside philosophies for a moment to actually compare them and ask where they came from. we will easily make errors in the way we do it, but I don't think all philosophy is doomed to be fully locked inside models and effectively inside prejudices such that it is constantly eating itself. I think people primarily think it is because they do not have consciousness of the material phenomena of graph struggle and chunk competition. if they did, they'd realize how silly this all is. they'd go, oh god, why were we promoting philosophies that ask everyone to fight and kill each other as nicely as possible instead of asking how to turn around and become the puppetmasters of chunk competition. why were we doing any of this when we could have stopped what generates prejudice at the source.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">The main problem with social structures is people are bad at results / Capitalism sucks because people are bad at doing things / Bureaucracy is maddening because people are bad at doing things  ->  this one needs a little explaining but is very important. ever felt when going through some kind of paperwork process that nothing makes sense, the whole thing is undesigned, and everything is all just a bunch of drifting humans going in every direction that have no idea what they're doing or how to do what you need them to do? that may be literally what's happening. there is a conflict between the fact we need to rely on other people to do things, materially, not just because we "desire things in the Other" psychologically, but because we really can't do everything ourselves and other people really have to do it, this and the fact that in reality other people are just people and often have trouble actually doing the things we need them to do. every time any individual or group of people ever tries to do anything ever there is a complicated tug-of-war between whether it's worse to take on too much ourselves and not trust anyone, or worse to trust other people who may be too imperfect to actually do what we need them to. practically no period of Existentialism ever gets this concept right. it always seems to devolve into these really weird ego-based statements that "you can't rely on others in order to function and grow as you, you have to trust others in order to function and grow as you, impossible contradictions always totally make sense if everybody just wills them to enough". that is not an answer. that is not a model. that is a bunch of mystical nonsense. individual psychology does not get us to dipsychology.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">Unending happiness simply does not exist / Unending happiness is not a thing / The concept of unending happiness cannot be resolved into a real-world problem  ->  an important dimension to "utopias" that I never see discussed. if something doesn't actually exist, then people are going to read it as a metaphor even if it isn't, just to have an opinion about it. the human brain chunks models of reality inside visual signifiers, and when people see an imaginary thing they search for the real-world image that matches it and start interpreting it that way. this is how you get the speedrunning guy seeing the image of speedrunning, looking up his mental image of "seeking shortcuts to success", and getting upset. what I never see when someone discusses "utopias" is the recognition that people are doing this. I never see people consciously listing out all the internal real-world signifiers that they think utopia actually means. the... bisimilarands? the analogy targets? the Z Items to the S Items, anyway. one possible "bisimilarand" is addiction. one is imperialism, as shown in the Winter King episode: a population that oppresses another has a much easier time. one is national independence: it is easy to accuse postcolonial Anarchists of "utopia", but they really just want some kind of independent population. all of these "bisimilarands" are very different, and which one you think of is based on your model of society, your social-political-economic ideology. the problem happens when people assume a particular pathway of signifier-bisimilarand-mechanics simply <em>is</em> what something is across fiction and mythology and real life. in one sense, fiction is how we all share and agree on misinformation without realizing that's what we're doing. and this is really popular for Existentialists to do. to assume that particular works of fiction are portraying such things as The Subject exactly the way they work in real life, when necessarily they all come from generalizations and assumptions. fiction argues about "unending happiness". but such a thing is complete nonsense. like, so nonsensical that even speaking of it hypothetically is hard because you have to suspend several things about reality and effectively make up <i>fake prejudices</i> about which real-world things you don't believe in. so what is fiction really arguing about if the thing it's arguing about doesn't exist? it's arguing about prejudices and which sets of prejudices people think are the better prejudices when literally speaking all of them are wrong.

Communism <i>is bisimilar to</i> proletarian SPS <i>realizes mechanics of</i> republic <i>realizes mechanics of</i> Dark Rhizome <i>is bisimilar to</i> assimilation.
</li><li class="field_fantasy" value="618" data-dimension="S2">The Candy Kingdom is a superstructural fantasy world  ->  not sure if this is literally true or just a misdirect but it sure is a theory now. there's something to how Fionna and Cake were considered a story in the Ice King universe, but the Candy Kingdom is a story in the Simon universe. do we have a circular Deltarune going on? did Prismo make each universe make up the other universes? it is so interesting that only certain very specific parts of each world become stories.

</li><li class="field_fantasy" value="618" data-dimension="S">worker less welcome than mouse / microaggression against worker's existence (in fiction)  ->  fionna and cake e1. very interesting episode because at this point we have already had <em>two</em> microaggressions that workers aren't good enough at arbitrary job tasks to belong in their city. this is just it. most capitalism isn't a well-established set of factory procedures workers just need to take over, it's an absolutely floundering mess where nobody knows how to keep businesses in existence but owners and certain subsets of immediately-appointed managers decide to believe there's a right way to exist and harass people about whether they're being people good enough and gradually kick them out of the city if they aren't. capitalism is individuals or tiny groups of individuals exerting their will over spatial territories and then existing and living and multiplying and inviting friends and acting really offended like that existence level of things is being challenged if anything about the person's act of exerting will over the territory and controlling every object in it is challenged. jobs are like this. people treat houses like this. it's a nightmare. it's a mess. at its heart, it's every person behaving like a separate population and slowly expanding as if nothing else exists while there is absolutely not enough space for that to not cause conflict. chunk competition.

</li><li class="field_mdem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">"Is", "can", and "should" are different things  ->  a three-way is-ought distinction. first is everything that is exactly as it is, second is what can and will be, the alternate normals at various levels of functional and dysfunctional, third is what you want to happen but may have no existing mechanism of happening. practically nobody these days understands the difference between the latter two. and there's a good reason: everybody tries to define Can and Should through specific ideologies that amount to specific Social-Philosophical-Material Systems. and when two people belong to different sociophilosophies they don't predict each other correctly because they each use their own. they each toss out "I believe that everybody" statements that just plain aren't happening, because they think that Should equals Can.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" data-tradition="DG / MDem" value="618" data-dimension="S2">"Symbolic castration" is the same as "inauthenticity"  ->  this is my biggest problem with Žižek. this utter paradox right here. he is totally sure that the Lacanian model of human development is correct, including forming models of parents to one day become a parent (The Father) and symbolic castration. but then he complains about inauthenticity and Liberal capitalist society forcing people into the inauthentic. the more I look into all this, the more I can't see a difference. I think by any reasonable definition, every single time Liberalism or capitalism makes people chop off part of themselves and fit into it is the same as symbolic castration. I think he is complaining about his own system. which is kind of funny — Žižek is a Zinovievist Trotskyite, while one of Trotsky's biggest problems was projecting onto Stalin the things that Trotsky does, effectively making "Leninism" into this weird never-ending cycle of deciding you don't like Leninism and exploding it to create Leninism that somebody else inside it then explodes again.

</li><li class="field_ML" value="618" data-dimension="S2">The world goes on after any particular character narrative  ->  beautiful trope but has some nasty implications when you ask what influenced it. I like the authenticity of Adventure Time having historical periods that don't have to connect to each other, and a potentially infinite number of historical periods; there's a great poetry to that at the same time there's a certain kind of realism. what I don't like is how it comes down into any particular set of present events. it makes it feel like it's unimportant to have morality because if having patience and surviving things can fix anything, why bother to get other people to be moral instead of holing up in an ice cocoon? you can <em>say</em> that it's possible to accept just anything that happens because you can't control it, but there are some things that really are bad. people being isolated from each other like Simon and Betty really is bad. the collapse of society into warring states or world war really is bad because it doesn't stop the same cycle from happening again. and just walking away from the notion that some things really are bad feels like abdicating the <em>responsibility</em> to make history go the right way. (note: at least a little of this is addressed in <cite>Fionna and Cake</cite>.)

</li><li class="field_exstruct" data-tradition="Aa" value="618" data-dimension="S">stopping wars with psychoanalysis  ->  I do not like how this is similar to real actual psychoanalytic theories. it's like. sometimes I sit back and ask myself, am I imagining this whole Existentialist-Structuralist tradition thing? could it be that Lacanianism isn't actually the same thing as early-existentialism? and then I see this garbage. and I'm like. oh god.... Lacanianism says we cause trouble for each other because we individually have fake ideas about reality that need to be cut off. symbolic castration / discipline. schizoanalysis basically says that democulture is the mechanism that cuts off fake ideas and is the rationale for Liberal republics. postcolonial theories say everything is due to prejudices. Lacanianism is talking about prejudices too. it's saying all our fake ideas about reality and refusals to compromise are prejudices. that's what it's really doing. and I hate it. because it diminishes the reality of beliefs and philosophies as actual matters of identity and experience that people truly live their lives by, kinda treating people as mere instruments in a way, mere instruments of building an empire of people who miraculously guess the correct way to behave for people to get along, and haven't even thought it through to figure it out, who have all just been beaten into place like cattle. all the individuals or countable Cultures or ideologies are the instruments and the Liberal republic experts just own them all, like a capitalist owns a group of workers and makes them behave a certain way for their place of work to exist. if the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition <em>were true</em> then Liberalism would be a scam, and <em>it</em> would be a scam. it's a lot better for everyone in it if it's not true, because then nobody can come label them an evil conspiracy to turn countries into oligarchy. when you think about it, there's a fine line between scams and incorrect theories of society. if people don't know they can be forgiven, but if they do know they're labeled conspirators, con men, or any number of uglier names.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="S2">A scammer differs from an incorrect hypothesis in that the scammer knows / The difference between an incorrect hypothesis and a con man is the con man knows  ->  ties back to "corporations are the prediction of history". in a sense, a scammer is just a bad, fake oracle in a world where history actually can be predicted.

I don't think most people take the proposition quite this far. I think you'd have to make the propositions people actually use subsets of this, and I think it's the notion of making it completely absolute that's funny. but just imagine. some random Dave Andrews off in Arizona made a bad desktop application in Rust because he was prejudiced against good programming languages. some Erma Waters over in Newfoundland wrote yet another detective story when nobody needs any more because she was prejudiced against good books. the notion of every single wrong action being a prejudice is quite conceptually funny.

Trotsky violently attacked a republic due to his extreme views. I mean, what else do you term an assassination? anybody who doesn't realize hegemony politics currently exists (even if it's not a good thing) and treat it as if it exists is just, hanging out feeling like they owe nothing to a population continuing to exist and it's okay to let every other individual die except maybe a couple friendly businesses they buy things from if current policies benefit their own business. when you refuse to play "team sports" whole nationalities and ethnicities of people cease to be because all the people in them scatter to different capitalist cities. only a few things are more prejudiced than that. every population is based on a molecularized yet competitive process of people building populational structures through free association that at times harm each other and exist in mutual exclusion. you can't just "criticize" these without understanding their physical interaction and the fact that some of them have to be treated as correct and some as incorrect. correct structures bring down regulations on incorrect structures. this is the basis of Liberal democracy. SPS-based democulture. if one person standing by and writing a bunch of Zinovievism could change the world just because they had "good ideas" there would be no need for elections.

I think you can also go a step further and say that merely labeling something "inexcusable" is in practice the same as labeling it "obvious".

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="618" data-dimension="S2">The world needs adventurers to keep culture from stagnating  ->  Dragon Ball, Adventure Time season 8. there may be a kernel of truth to this in that when different populations interact they learn things, at the very least about the existence of other populations. that said, wow. it's really blown out of proportion how helpful seeing other places actually is. if things are bad at home you won't really find the holy grail somewhere else. your people will still need you to apply the knowledge you find. and as the centuries have gone on, people don't really come back to the places that need them the most, it's just turned into permanent migration out of unsuccessful places to successful places. we really need to talk about the fact that neither Goku nor Finn wants to come home to share their knowledge, both cases begin with assuming home is too far gone, and you can only be a hero <em>through</em> never coming back. (I think I already know what the Existentialists will say. they'll try to claim I'm turning this into a case of "Rudolph was useful". but it's not me doing it. it's the fact people are physical and there are real solutions to real material problems below the level of "discovering better culture". I also know why people make this error. they can't see that any nice group of friends is just a graph and any case of "cultural exchange" is just making the graph bigger. sometimes bigger graphs become easier to operate without becoming more efficient, but they also become more capable of oppressing anybody who actually believes in improving the structure of the graphs. really unfortunate when it comes to worldwide shipping and climate change.)

</li><li class="field_horror" value="618" data-dimension="S2">"It's your responsibility to help these misguided Hiders" (Adventure Time season 8 episode 24 "Hide and Seek")  ->  in just 11 minutes, this episode has so many accidental things to say about dystopian literature and anticommunist fables. one, anomalous societies are bad because they don't allow arbitrary individuals to split off and form another Culture. there is a notion created here of Culture-monopoly. two, some anomalous societies are formed as a matter of group cohesion to make sure everyone survives. this.... is one of the most accurate things a dystopian narrative has ever said, because it's the only anticommunist accusation that's actually just a true fact said in the wrong tone. yes, it is true that North Korea, early China, the Soviet Union, and kinda most workers' states really, formed to make sure people survived, and captured people into party-nations for that purpose. that's actually true. you usually have to read a bunch of Marxist texts to find that out, because most accounts of Third World countries are so <em>stupid</em> they don't even mention that. three. there is such a strange notion in fiction of populational creationism where populations really are made out of culture and they just culture culture culture every day to produce people, rather than people producing culture. thus, the anomalous society made out of one big blob of culture with a bunch of people skewered on top has to capture people back into culture. it's like a parasite, it's gotta get its hosts back. which leads to.... four. if culture shouldn't be capturing people, then Rhizome has inherent potential for oppression. you can't tell me Rhizome is a model of movements and it models this special movement thing people do for a moment and then stop doing. people are physical things and if Rhizome is actually going to change their minds then there's a form of Rhizome when it's expanding and flipping people over and another resting form when it's done. that resting form is the Social-Philosophical System, the loosely-linked network of people that in their daily lives all support anti-racism or whatever the movement is. that's what has to form for people to actually go vote and get other people to vote. but according to this Adventure Time episode resting Rhizome is bad, because all humans have times where they want to break out of an SPS even if its ideas are correct. this episode seems to think that all populations are Cultures and all populations can be bad anomalous Cultures from somebody's point of view leading them to break out of the population and call it dystopian. we'd better think about that kind of thing when we're trying to ask what creates Tories.

Adventure Time can't be a science fiction universe due to things like Jake spontaneously reimagining significant parts of the world. but if you take the alternate timeline where those episodes aren't true and this one is, it's one of the most single most interesting questions. if magic isn't magic then what <em>is</em> it? clearly, it has to be a new form of physics that doesn't exist in the real world but does exist in the fictional world. a simple set of fundamental rules complete with equations. and to some degree, isn't that observably the case? in a Pokémon game, there is an equation that damage equals base damage times type matchup multiplier. that is a physics equation. it doesn't tell us very closely about how the world works underneath, but neither do a lot of real-world physics equations! until quantum mechanics a whole lot of processes and mathematical information about them were left out. a concrete equation about how something repeatedly behaves is a physics equation. the only way out of that is to invent the term "metaphysics equation".

== MDem SSR: 19000 - 20000 ==

This range is reserved for MDem book drafts which prove to be notable in light of each other and explaining previous texts. However, it does not really make sense to give entries in this range permanent identifiers until the book is finished to some satisfactory extent of printing a few for actual "use". The new convention for SSR entries is to simply file the pages to be considered SSR Items under thesis portals in the {{TTS|html=abbr|tts=User|U:}} or {{TTS|html=abbr|tts=Philosophical Research|R:}} namespaces and not to use the {{TTS|html=abbr|tts=Ontology:Q...|E:Q...}} namespace until the work is actually finished (although making redirects to the thesis portal using {{TTS|html=abbr|tts=Ontology:Eszett...|E:ẞ...}} is okay). The entries are now being managed on [[:Category:MDem SSR|MDem SSR]].

After this point, entries may be created in any order without worrying what number they are; making entries on specific meaningful numbers is encouraged but absolutely not required. To keep track of already taken numbers, you may use [[:Category:Ontology_entries_by_number]].

== Early versions ==

Although I tried not to change the formatting of this page much from start to finish, it has gone through a few formatting versions.

* Late into the creation of this page, the page text got too long to properly submit through the form. The pre-division version, notably containing a Lexemes prototype and first example data table, is [[Special:PermanentLink/6785|here]].
* There was a Lexemes (Terms) prototype on this page until it got too unwieldy to remember which ones had been created and easier to simply delete them to keep track. The untouched Lexemes prototype is now [[User:Reversedragon/FirstNineThousand/Lexemes|here]].
** Lexemes originally had their own numbers until the Term namespace was introduced, at which point they were changed to use the number of whatever Item fits them the most closely.
** The rules for Lexeme Forms were first tested out at [[User:Reversedragon/FirstNineThousand/inflections]]
* There was also a Properties brainstorm, which is now at [[Philosophical Research:Properties/Numeric]].

I had a hard time naming this thing because for the longest time it didn't even make sense. "so anarchism has been turning into... an-... a-culture-ism? what even is this?"

I find the idea really stupid to be honest, but almost every single theory within "The US Left" since the 1990s seems to invent this concept as one of its core principles. Existentialism is in general a group of theories that ignores democracy <i>per se</i> and by going on and on about Free Will and The Subject tries to find the best way to invent democulture. queer theory is <em>infamous</em> in Tory settlements for constantly attributing the "institutional power" of homophobia and transphobia to the absence of democulture in "institutions".

"relativistic" in the sense of the universe having no center and all events having to travel at or below the speed of light in space and time to hit other objects; an object in motion not affected by another object keeps independently flying along "relativistically". RDem theories seem like trouble because they seem to bake in war and authoritarian attacks over the top of other populations after leaving no physical method to preemptively influence decisions and prevent bad decisions. Gramscianism, Existentialism, Liberalism, and some Anarchisms tend toward creating RDem. Deng Xiaoping Thought <em>may</em> tend toward RDem as well.

I accidentally <s class="censor">piss</s>ed someone off when I was a young adult by not knowing there were six different things called individualism and guessing they were talking about a different one than they were. I thought "individualism" referred to the Existentialist celebration of individuals in things like identity politics movements, efforts against prejudice toward things like the arts and humanities, and "Wackytown" style be-yourself fables. years later after reading a whole bunch of things about different demographics and philosophies I still don't really know what "Western individualism" actually meant or what its opposite might be.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="282" data-dimension="L">dipsychology  ->  hypothetical study of human psychology as primarily driven by relationships between two or more people rather than the development of either of the individual Subjects. this is one of the major reasons Lacanianism believes it has become profound. in reality, the goal is good but the methods are bad. saying Lacanianism is good because it attempts dipsychology is like saying Trotskyism is the correct Leninism because it attempts dieconomics by merely proposing the possibility of a global civilization instead of workers' states fighting each other.

</li><li class="field_exstruct" value="318" data-dimension="L">Prejudice Existentialism  ->  a seemingly distinct category from Difference Existentialism. Prejudice Existentialism is purely focused on the act of constantly smashing signs in the hope that depriving people of any notion of facts or truth will lead to everyone perceiving reality correctly, although paradoxically Prejudice Existentialists typically claim that it is impossible to see reality through anything but signs and ontological models, which should make their task literally impossible to achieve for even a second. a rather intellectually dishonest field of philosophy in my opinion. if it were true that it is potentially a prejudice to call basically anything a fact, it would also be true that reality is nothing more than a bloody chunk war where whoever wins is automatically correct for the rest of history. Prejudice Existentialists have no way to actually disprove that claim, so they just resort to saying that acknowledging it to be true is Evil and equivocating everything else to be equally true is Good. I really hate the notion that morality is the only thing that's true. because first of all, how do you even know if morality is correct or real if nothing else is, how can you use it as your grounding? the problem they always run into in real life is that people all over the real world reject morality, and then when they point out prejudice as the fundamental sin that is the most obvious thing that makes any statement wrong nobody actually listens or cares. how do they know that thinking anybody cares about the concept of "prejudice" isn't a prejudice that makes their own theory obsolete?

</li><li class="field_ML" value="322" data-dimension="L">Lenin's filter  ->  as soon as I noticed this thing in [https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/dec/30.htm one of Lenin's writings] I immediately had to throw a name onto it just because it was so unusual compared to any non-Marxist writing about movements. Lenin's filter is the process of taking a coarse movement of people and building up correct answers, procedures, strategies, and movement shapes such that the movement improves itself and becomes a party-nation. according to some Maoists, the process of operating Lenin's filter is synonymous with the party itself, and I'd say that is broadly correct but I still prefer to label a filter as the process that creates the party and the Bauplan as the shape of the party-nation

I find this harder to dispute than some other models but I don't quite like it because of how mystical it is.

I don't like this filter. it makes it very hard to distinguish the mathematical shape of progressive movements from the shape of racism, xenophobia, Colonial Exploitation, bigoted monotheisms, or the anti-mental-illness processes described by Deleuze and Guattari or Foucault. this filter is the thing that makes me outright dislike the concept of morality and feel like we need to use other methods to avoid morality ever turning into a justification for atrocities
</li><li class="field_mdem" value="329" data-dimension="L">Lattice model / The Lattice  ->  this is either MDem's filter or at least another mathematical transform very adjacent to filters. it's the process of taking isolated islands and linking them, going through a "search for quantum lions and avoid quantum leopards" process until people aren't isolated and are safe from being surrounded by threats. this concept can apply to many different scales from very small ones to very large ones, such it could be used to diagram going from isolated individuals all the way up to a Communist International. why is it a lattice? because it's a graph of nodes, and before meta-Marxism the idea of using graph theory to describe movements wasn't heard of as far as I know. final note: the Lattice model is different from Rhizome in that it explicitly acknowledges the possibility of many tiny plural "rhizomes" and that as separate objects they may not inherently want to come together. it's also different in that it recognizes that every tiny "rhizome" can be a different Social-Philosophical System, only deciding where to go based on what it actually believes and in no way magnetically pulled toward anything without deliberately following the Lattice model as a guide.

I think in an Existentialist perspective the antonym may actually be "tolerant". "extreme" conceals the concept of <i>totalization</i> and the contrast to a morality-based view of individual tolerance of absolutely anything and everything from other individuals or groups unless it is absolutely hazardous.

Alfred Jarry called it 'pataphysics, I just call it "meta-ontology". in a sense, it's like the SCP wiki has to use a wrong definition because the Foundation is all about containing things and keeping things normal, but 'pataphysics is actually about using such insane strategies to solve things it would go against the Foundation's typical protocols. "Admonition" was a missed opportunity to define 'pataphysics utterly correctly yet make it this bizarre anomalous almost-scary thing that's not just philosophy and is nearly forbidden most of the time

</li><li class="field_fantasy" value="710" data-dimension="L">verisimilitude / verisimilitudinous / verisimilar  ->  very relevant when analyzing fiction. why are Marxist analyses of fiction possible when in theory it should be that fiction can be anything at all and a great number of authors do not know anything about Marxism? because of verisimilitude. people create fictional ontologies by superficially copying real-life ontologies, which can amusingly result in fiction containing ontologies that are specifically realistic enough they provide for the possibility of Bolshevism.

</li><li class="field_fantasy" value="776" data-dimension="L">bookman's bluff  ->  when an author tries to claim that the story goes together and makes sense on some level even though it doesn't. [https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/gi29qv/tomt_whats_the_name_of_the_term_when_an_author/] can turn into Calvinball if done really well to continuously expand mistakes into believable lore; can turn into a scottcon if done badly.
</li><li class="field_fantasy" value="777" data-dimension="L">signifier mad libs  ->  when an audience fails to ask what a fiction or non-fiction work is actually trying to communicate and begins carelessly filling in all the nouns, verbs, and adjectives with their own meanings

== Unsorted Lexemes ==

* egoism
* individualism
* meta-ontologically sound / meta-ontological soundness  ->  a statement is meta-ontologically sound when it would be recognized as true by anyone in any ideological faction or interest-having population of people which has a high school education and does not believe blatantly false statements. those are a little hard to find for Toryism, of course, but educated Tories do exist; they're a bit scary because they see all the evidence that progressives point to without being able to deny it, and then spin that factual information as bad to protect some pre-defined set of interests like "my family" or "my socially-linked several-state-sized reactionary subpopulation of White people". the good news is that a lot of statements by Tories fail to be meta-ontologically sound even if they're based on lists of true facts because there are reasons they blatantly cannot be recognized as true by other ideologies.
* slider-speak  ->  this didn't have its own term in MDem drafts until very very recently. for a while I called it generalized alchemy, or metaphysics, or mistaking the ability to create adjectives for reality. I still think those all fit fine. but we need to really stop and characterize this thing at length so we genuinely see how weird it is.
* stealth activism  ->  this is a totally stupid term for a reasonable thing. the definition I heard almost reduced it down to taking over structures and Each Individual In Parallel Culturing Better. which is... very Gramscian. it may be necessary and even effective but my one issue is I wish nobody would use the word activism for it. it's like. sure, you can do that. but there eventually comes a point where you're preserving particular oppressive countable Cultures for the hell of it and committing to take the steering wheel of the oppression bus and run it a little less bad, while — here is the real problem that overshadows any other concern — you're part of an overall national population which by its own existence justifies torching other people-groups in an act of self-defense murder just because the national population exists. self-defense genocide exists now. (even though it did exist in 1800, I know.) do you know what kind of atom-thick hair edge Gramscianism is operating on? do people even know that. one day you can be doing ""stealth activism"" and the next day the people you barely shifted over to win one issue could be torching you too, because two different swaths of stealth-activists for different issues ended up on different sides of the Torching Unamericans divide where only so many people fit in the core group of people truly allowed to live. as time goes on I increasingly feel like Gramscianism is an elite ideology and it's not really for the people who actually get hurt by Toryism or "fascism". why do you need Gramscianism if you already fit into institutions well enough to infiltrate them?
* cultural context  ->  this phrase kills me because I feel like it is used for ten different things and every time people say it they're using it to get out of distinguishing those things from each other. Foucault used it to describe a stage of development of class society, with actual structures and territory-owners. a Deltarune video I listened to used it to describe people living in one US state instead of another, literally just the geographical region people live in and the weather and climate they had experiences about. see why it's not actually a very clear thing? people are conditioned to think populations are made out of culture and culture can easily be used to distinguish populations but then when they describe what culture is they're often describing things that come almost strictly before culture per-se.
* military-cultural complex  ->  this is what has existed since the Cold War. this is what I have been trying to get at with descriptions of all socially-linked groups of people generating The State to protect the sheer existence of their socially-linked group of friends.
* Herculean task
* Sisyphean task
* Minosian task  ->  a task so bad you lock it away
* Promethean task  ->  "something you know is the right thing to do but you still get punished for it"
* Odyssean task  ->  task that "should have been simple but everything goes wrong in the worst ways making it insanely long"
* Orphean task  ->  when you are doomed to fail for the same reasons you are desperate to succeed
* solidarity  ->  the more I read about this word the more it sounds to me like it's a question rather than an answer. it began around the time of the French Revolution but every single person trying to create a new theory of how to build society defined it a bit differently. I really think solidarity is just a word more than it's a concept. to actually achieve proletarian solidarity you need to define new much more specific concepts like filtration
* recursion  ->  fractal process of some kind; programming usage; specific cybernetics use
* world party  ->  pros of Bordigism: actually talks about patterns of party operation which are oddly specific. cons of Bordigism: I don't have the slightest idea what any of these things are.
* essentialism
* anti-essentialism  ->  one of the better theories for understanding human individuals themselves rather than whole populations
* strategic essentialism  ->  a particular concept of benign nationalism used in context of national independence from global empire, as in India. I am trying so hard not to say the words "culture", "colonial", or "postcolonial" because I feel like that cluster of concepts has muddied up absolutely everything and made every single struggle people are trying to get through across the world harder. why did we all decide people were made of culture rather than [[redlink - Hyper-Materialism|being made of people and populations]]. why did we do that.
* strategic anti-essentialism  ->  George Lipsitz (b.1947). the act of resisting membership in a particular restrictive Social-Philosophical System of culture by expressing the practices of a different Social-Graph System of culture. see: Satanism and Gnosticism, wiccans and pagan revival, schizoanalysis, United States otaku.
* agent  ->  already used to describe the concept of Group Subjects in slightly obscure biology/ecology research
* solidarity  ->  original definition of Third World proletarian subpopulations standing together against all owning classes; vulgarized definition where it has been co-opted into the entirely different idea of Existentialist individuals throughout multiple First World countries standing together because they are The Subject. this word is like, the day that Marxism absolutely died because Marxists ceased being aware that the First World was weaponizing the notions of "empathy" and "community" to defend all scales of chunk competition and crush empathy, community, and solidarity alike.
* denial of coloniality  ->  way better phrasing than trying to turn every word for empire into a word for prejudices in people's heads
* The West  ->  it's always been really weird to me people say this. it always weirdly feels as if people passively acknowledge the existence of a British Empire after the British Empire.
* The East
* Filamentocracy  ->  add to "Filament"
** democulture is the class ideology of Filamentocracy. that's just it. that's why people believe in democulture and Goku's filter
* intersubjectivity
* Market Society  ->  this came up in MDem v4.3 and kind of fell off as a major topic although it very much stayed a term. near synonym for primitive Existentialism but focuses more on the notion of isolation. coined to mock the term "market economy" by pointing out what economies really are: society itself. socioeconomies.
* [S2] Kirby is a metaphor for humanity / Kirby is the quintessential Subject  ->  really funny copypasta [https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/afr9xc/kirby_is_a_metaphor_for_humanity/] [https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/gi29qv/tomt_whats_the_name_of_the_term_when_an_author/] <s>somebody seems to have dreamed up while up into the morning unable to sleep, I mean that's my injection of my own experience but yeah.</s> from a Polygon video? I was just trying to find the definition of "bookman's bluff" and here we are
* free-floating  ->  add to "free"; very similar usage to an object being "knocked free" or "wrested free"
* constructive process  ->  related to "construct" as is also used as a verb
* destructive process
* nationogenesis  ->  the slow or quick assembly of individuals within an existing national population into a new nation and spatially-unique realized Bauplan. the reason this "needed" a new word is that it can happen with people of the same ethnic group and religion and who are overall seemingly the same group of people in every way, yet who spontaneously begin drifting into totally new groups of people thanks to the news station they listen to, their incomplete understanding of Leninism, or some other factor that would be unexpected to most people
* postification / post- / post-ify  ->  not used many times in v5.2 in favor of returning to plainer language, but the concept is always there in basically every chapter
* physics as equalling factical systems; physics as relativistic causality exchange
* thought / think  ->  logical process Lexeme
* modal realism: all hypothetically possible worlds are technically real. David Lewis.
* economy / socioeconomy
* socioeconomy, sociophilosophy, socioempire, sociocurrency
* rival / rivalrous  ->  I forget why I added this. it had something to do with Creative Commons and "non-rivalrous goods" and some killer analogy I'd gotten from that vaguely related to chunk competition or graph economics but I forget the exact connection I made. I think it was something like, when everyone lives in rivalrous houses, and has to pay for them with rivalrous jobs, and it's so easy to totally slip past anyone else's attention because people have to "spend" their attention on one thing or another, it's hard for anything to really actually be non-rivalrous. populations are rivalrous, countable Cultures are rivalrous, physical individuals are rivalrous. you have to overcome all of that just to create a non-rivalrous good
