The Goh-Feinberg Theory suggests a parallel between individual modes of human happiness and phases of technological development.
(The Goh-Feinberg Theory is entirely fictional. I made it up for the short story SNOW FALLS ON NYCTROPOLIS but I feel like I might be on to something.)

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Unfortunately it’s impossible to have more than one competent vizier. Vizier competence is a fixed number, equally divided among all viziers present
Two viziers are comic sidekicks, the recommended maximum. Any more become bumbling henchmen. One vizier is cunning but will always plot against you

I've often thought that the best revenge for all this fashy misery would be affordable social housing, workers rights, a functional health service, sustainable energy and all the other good stuff they apparently hate. But I do keep glancing thoughtfully at lampposts.
With genuine shame, recent years in politics have given me my first taste for what it is to have moralised contempt for my opponents. Not hatred, not fear; contempt. There's some core element of the right wing coalition at the moment which seems to me best described as a revolt of the loser men...

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
