  • The only thing you said I think is wrong is that de facto censorship always exist.

    Censorship is created by a social entity hidding or faking data. Any advanced mind can take these incomplete or faked conclusions and from there find out that the data has been messed with.

    Any “trust me bro” arguments can be rejected from the get go. Any information without it’s reproduction steps has no meaning, only an agenda.

    People are pretty bright animals on the individual level, but where they fail is that they are social animals which will take cue from other social animals and social entitiesml.

    What you see as de facto censorship is only a natural consequence of this mechanism.

    But this can be countered with proper education of both the social animals and the social entities.

    Fatalism is not needed here because we know that we can build social constructs that can change both how the social animal and the social entity comport themselves.

    All in all , a censorship attempt, for a social animal that reject social cues from it’s peers, is at best an attack on it’s agency and intelligence, as worst a proof that the social entity has a hidden agenda and whishes a bad outcome to the censored.

    And this attempt will by itself, because the social animal has an advanced mind, create an interest in what the other entity is trying to hide.

    We can see this in action with antivaxxer, flat-earthers and so on, in which de facto censorship does not exist.

    These examples are not the best, because they also get influenced by bad messaging -a sort of propaganda created by bad actors be it animal or entities - but they examplify the mechanism I am talking about.

    Sorry, my English is quite poor this morning as I am very tired from bullshit events in my life.

    So if im not very clear, I’m sorry again.




  • Yup! From a very fast search, the sculptor was a confederate apologist or somesuch. He died in 1940 something, and was building for the KKK during the KKK schism of 1920 of which I don’t have any idea what it means.

    I’m pretty sure early 1900 american racism was not exactly as modern racism considering there were actual bounties on first nation people… Like we pay you to kill them type of bounties.

    My (first nation) grand father like to talk about thoses stories but he’s a liar and I have no idea if what he say is true at all




  • No,

    Serious teams know that building big software is hard and that starting by having a set deadline is the first failure point of a project.

    Serious team wants a set budget and feature set. They also want a dialog with the aquiring party, because as you dig deeper in the software you uncover oddities. These oddities are more often than not a failure of the aquiring party understanding of their own business operations.

    And thus, a serious team will help the aquiring party refine their business process by either removing useless steps, adding missings steps or changing a step in the overall workflow. And that’s were the most of the value of making a new software comes from.

    Doing waterfall will stop this from happening and will remove actual value from the software because it’s going to be bloated with useless things that were badly understood by the aquiring party.

    Agile is about producing as much value as possible, as fast as possible, in a set budget.

    English is my third language so sorry if it’s hard to understand or feel aggressive.






  • Yeah, also, lenninsist/Stalinist also have a weird idea about that statement.

    Permanent revolution from his writings means that he saw that the bourgeoisie were always creeping back in power and building a new powerbase in the new framework.

    What I think he meant (because it’s not very clear from his letters) is that he wanted countries to never solidify power in an elite group and instead act like a new revolutionary countty all the time. That does not mean actual revolution forever. I might be wrong but that’s how I read it.

    Was it feasible or realistic ? I don’t know, but I know that Mao said about the same thing after the cultural revolution.


  • It depends!

    Is this going to put you or others in danger? If the climate is non-violent and really academic I don’t see a problem.

    But if you fear for your security or that of others, I wouldn’t risk it.

    University’s also usually have more freedom of expression granted.

    I used to run a Roleplay Club in college that had after hour philosophy sessions. I don’t think I converted anyone but it made me kiss a lot of people that was out of my reach…

    Ahhh to be 20 again…

    Also you can market it as a “critic club” and have all sort of maxists text and have people debate them.
