There you go ... you make a clever, snarky leftist point very-much on-topic ... and funny ... and KARMA-warriors give you the screw. You do assume the reader --- left or right -- has studied Chomsky as a premier 20-th Century scholar. Prolly too much to assume .

Same here, though the "uncanny" presence of the graphics is kind of a tip-off *.ai was used. BTW/// What is the gut-level phenomena behind the "uncanny" feel ?

Your points are spot on. True history and valid analysis. The lefty snowflakes fucked with your KARMA.

"... Tech is moving so fast,...". Yes, the gap between ignorance and maliciousness is closing at a rate faster than the speed-of-light. Goto Palantirs' website 1st-page and they will show you their warp-drive ... it's labeled ... 'AI will make all decisions ' . You will pay them for the hallucination, and no Scotty appears to "beam me up".

"People who are scared for their jobs will not innovate "I believe the current industrial employee model is that of Stalins WW2 gulags. He sent lots of engineers and scientists to Siberia, with the threat ... if their projects failed they would freeze in the tundra. It was a fear-driven model of innovation -- Stalin loved instilling fear -- and by all reports quite successful in developing new aircraft and light weapons. Modern western capitalists get woodies fantasizing they have Stalins power and drive.

"Unions push the cost up for everyone!" As it should be. Increased worker wages more than make up for the extra expense "entitled" buyers are willing to pay. Those priced out of that specific market ... just don't consume that product --- I mean, you have no RIGHT to consume anything , but subsistence. OTOH increased worker wages means those workers will consume more of their own production ... if the product is worthwhile --- unlike computer games/most services/EVs. More business for the company means more business for everyone ... I am excluding addictives like sugar/cocaine/"spice" ...

You will pay for that battery back-up with acid stains on the floor of the bedroom your daughter grew up in and left empty for college, but expects to be perfect whenever she returns. But, next time she might bring her purple-haired boyfriend with her, so ... best to buy three acid-lead batteries that fume like Mt Vesuvius.

Not so fast. Enocean brags on their own website that they are enamored by IOT. And they pimp it with glee. So much for radio and its glowing orange/red/yellow tubes, which used to promote great music thru Macintosh amps. Oh yeah ... I could never get my Philips multi-color light to glow any color, but white. I guess their bulbs have radically quantized eigenvalues.

A capitalist/investor/manager for whom this fraud-laced GOFUNDME behavior is acceptable needs be removed from our culture. The high value I place on local guild/craft production mechanisms prompts me to send GFM executives to forced hard-labor camps in that Utah gulag ( usually reserved for leftist CMYK-pedofiles ) where iron-hammer stone-breaking is interspersed with mud-brick iron-ore / iron extraction and milking the local rattlesnake population. Teach the bitches ... that real work will set you free.

" ...abusive feds need to be constrained by...?" Bible/Koran/Torah, local school-boards, the 2nd Amendment and Fredrick Remington. Grinding bloody-handed asymmetric warfare is a lose/lose for big-gov and big-finance. Why did I put the "good books" 1st? Has nothing to do with a spaghetti-monster in the sky.

Well spoken. Magic-number I've seen is 150 people in stable , pre-law self-governance. Worth noting you ended your point about mechanisms of group organization/decisions with Robert Rules of Order. That indeed was the gentlemanly place to stop. But. It's not historically a correct endpoint for "societies". I believe the earliest attested cases are about 12,000 years old ( southern Egypt ? ) ... the mass killing sites where one portion of society conflicted with another. So instead of Robert et. al we have: club/sword/spear/bullet/bomb as the "natural" endpoint of a too-large / too-complex social entity. Lincolns America, Lenins Russia, Hitlers Germany and Maos China are prime recent examples of this behavior.

"Larger more complex systems experience more entropy and require more effort to prevent de-cohesion." You make non-trival claims relating "size" and entropy. For example, when a polymer collapses it's entropy goes up ( more micro-states create similar macro-states ). But, when mechanical watch-pieces are assembled (see watch-repair video ) the entropy goes down ... TIKTOKTIKTOK... Yes, yes I know neither are closed systems -- point is the net entropy change is non-trivial to evaluate for rationally drawn system boundaries.
