    Yes, I understand. Fostering an environment where "reading theory" is the behavior of the in-group isn't too great. Examining the conditions of the working class right now (personally or not) and organizing/pushing them left doesn't actually require that much theory.

    Implying anarchists tend to ignore reading and thinking (substituting theory for the aesthetic instead, I guess? praxis isn't even considered here) is not cool. Yeah, I know we're on the internet where posting is always revolutionary praxis.

    Regarding memes: this is why I'm considering formally studying the left pipeline. A rough sketch of the right's pipeline has edgy personalities -> IDW -> ben shapiro -> TPUSA/PragerU -> actual fascism, and this pipeline is pretty solid and well-funded. We need to study the left pipeline and bolster it with propaganda. One easy way to do this is with memes.

    Reading is actually hard and extremely painful for some people, for example those with ADHD. I still don't understand the superiority complex people have regarding theory. Do you think you're actually going to help the working class by telling everyone to "read theory"? What does this accomplish, besides shaming people into educating themselves more and repelling those who don't care enough? What if people have already learned a lot of theory, and still are anarchists? (Yes, this happens.)

    Obviously theory is cool, but holy shit this sentiment is so vapid. This may be a "joke" but it's a shit one.



  • I think "determinism" is true if many-worlds is true, in that the branching multiverse is just an expanding collection of quantum states entangling. To us, it basically looks like indeterminism (which Copenhagen implies). Due to chaos theory and a buttload of things being chaotic systems, this microscopic indeterminism influences the scale.

    I believe "free will" is more like an emergent phenomenon, useful for assigning blame, agency, etc. I don't think it has much to do with physics at all. Whenever I read any existentialist stuff concerning free will, I mentally assign it to a facet of our perceived, socially constructed reality.

    Thoughts?

    I think I am on an older version. I haven't played in a while.
