chapter 1 was sorta bland, felt like it was for a different audience. β€œYou won’t believe it: the British empire is full of racists!”

Excited for chapter 2, also looove the typesetting on these chapter pages

regretfully I’m faced with the fact that β€œgullible”, β€œdevoid of energy and initiative”, and β€œmuch given to fulsome flattery” are exactly the kinds of things I say about software developers

When I played it at launch the main campaign seemed almost trivial -- exciting when you're scrappy and then you just become a team of one turn knockdown/nuke machines. Lack of exciting crits etc really undermined. Loved the art/aesthetic tho. Curious how your thoughts develop, especially post dlc

This stuff about homogenizing and mechanicalizing the conception of self (mind body separation etc) rhymes with the more impactful parts of anti oedipus. Glad I’m reading this one now

The big adjustment to my thinking the last few years is: In the narrow area of Managing An Economy, competent socdem types and competent communists want the same thing, and have the same problems to solve. It's 'communism *or* capitalism or barbarism' and the barbarism lobby is very very large.

Finished The General Theory, pretty burnt out and skimmed a lot of the mathematical arguments in the back third. Good book!! Funnier and more fun to read than I expected. That guy fucking hated hayek. I am fully convinced re: digging up bags of money.

Now reading: caliban and the witch

The idea that prices will be *inexact* (and draw overinvestment when industries can overcharge, or underinvestment when they must undercharge) is well understood. This leads only to semi-managed keynesian socdem policies, so many dumb or evil people reject it, but it doesnt refute the market system.
