    I just misspelled the name of a sparkling water brand and found a weird research thing on a psychoactive substance and some weird wiki thing

    Hello Key

    Nice writing

  • SophiaHaven:
    I concur, but I am socialized and modernized. Give transliteration or at least give proper scan of handwritten page

    I honestly feel like this is more legible than how you usually write

    I'm not even joking, I'm not making fun or anything, I think your grammar is even better in here, though I can't read every word because I'm bad at reading handwriting

  • SophiaHaven:
    In fairness, there's a lot of beautiful and expressive things you can do in handwriting which aren't possible in corpoprint

  • SophiaHaven:
    As for the nuclear war being a solution — it's possible, but I have recently dimmed on this prospect. Most of our modern technologies are not merely of a scientific or even engineering-related nature, but of logistical and organizational kind. You can't have SOA weaponry without SOA semiconductors, which you can't have without the single most complex and globalized supply chain in human history. Even for Cold War era technology, you need at least an extremely centralized state numbering in the hundreds of millions with vast foreign dependencies and immense home territories.

  • SophiaHaven:
    Were a sufficiently devastating full-scale nuclear war to break out, the organizational and perhaps even demographic prerequisites for these technologies would be irrevocably undermined, for decades at least. And the resulting chaos, famine, and destruction that would follow may well prevent the return of a truly large, truly centralized administrative state in a globalized economy for even longer. But as to whether this would be merely a road bump in human history or a decisive turning point in it is harder to say.
    Link
  • SophiaHaven:
    The fact about the modernized, centralized administrative state is that it is also that form of organization which is best suited to military power projection, and thus over time comes naturally to dominate all more human forms of society, whether by the sword or by diplomatic and political pressure.

  • SophiaHaven:
    This has been so since the time of the Romans, if not the time of the Sumerians, and it would still be so after an all-out nuclear war. The chaos and tumult in the succeeding world may dampen the ability of this process (the invirtuous cycle of more centralization and abstraction leading to more might and technological advancement, leading to more centralization and abstraction) from playing out for a time, but the fundamental dynamics would not be changed.

    But don't let my pessimism stop you. If you think nuking the world will solve all our problems, I support you in your endeavours and encourage you to try! :agsmile:

    @LostintheCycle My Gods, every line in the pickle story is a gem. I literally cannot get through it because of how fucking funny it is.

  • SophiaHaven:
    The slave revolt of 2156 will be insane. No one will even know slaves are revolting. They will not even know that the USA disappeared in 2032. They will just see more and more Africans around them until all of a sudden apps stop working properly.

    Yep, it's why I saved it from chat a long time ago, I felt all things besides, it was too good of a story to let it be destroyed
