Great read You can never go from fall back to summer. You can only progress forward through winter and onward to spring Let the jackals eat the "carcass of the old order" -- don't stay glued to the brazen displays of graft, it will only demoralize you Find your Venice and plant seeds for springtime

To me it sounds like defeatism and akin to the notion that Earth is cooked so might as well focus all our attention on populating mars. Also a privileged take. The global poor don’t get to ignore the destruction of institutions they rely on.

Imo the answer is what MLK Jr did: change minds and reform institutions one day at a time over decades. It’s painfully slow and unlucrative, which is why nobody in tech takes that path unless they’re already rich. I get why people feel like it’s too late though.

Ok two thoughts: 1. If your main strategy is to expect people to become martyrs, prob not a good strategy 2. What was done in the past cannot be run back the same way. The playbook is exposed, the system knows how to counter it. It’s naive to think you can be an insurgent within a system than is mature cc @vgr wdyt
