Who cares if the caste is birthright or not. If there is no class mobility, there is no practical difference between the two systems. Potato, potatoe.

There is class mobility: anyone can be a hipster-- in 2001

Theses days, it's about migrating to those basements of the "interwebs" where the gen alpha trolls hang out.. little red book?

  • hmmm: an arbitrary finite automaton can be decomposed into a collection of edges; can we decompose a reasonable philosophy into a collection of memes/greentexts/whatever the kids are doing these days?

    (for that matter, I just assume the modal HN'er is ~13 now, but maybe that's an artifact of how the front page dynamic goldfishes the conversation?)

    EDIT: little red book or little red pill? https://dakotavadams.substack.com/p/redpill-op

    How about centres troll the extremes, as in https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GgTm194WIAEqak3?format=jpg&name=... ? (the Adams quote implies, whether the horseshoe be real or artificial, you'd largely be trolling the same people anyway?)

    • Lyingflat was a red herring then?

      Seems like the idea that your (our?) concept of bigotry could be profoundly misguided could be the real unspeakable..

      Have you read Lawrence of Arabia recently?

      The dividing line maybe: I see --(well, viscerally) whom you may label-- bigots as adults (who may or may not require medical intervention); and you-- as children? To help you out on the trolling, I'm usually triggered by upper-middle class takes on Christ, like this guy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46541901

      That is not even schizo.. (aha, PH's concept of "kidult" "resonates" strongly with me)

      Meyer-Hofstede again..? Add Tocqueville, even though he couldn't travel to all the allies.

      This is I make effort to speak nicely to alephnerd, am glad the mods(?) unflagged me!! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46733802

      (I'm also excited by Carneyism btw)
