Computer-controlled socialist economy gets destroyed on 9/11... 1973
- javanix 15y agoWhy was it necessary to put 9/11 in the title of this? I think knowing that the economy was computer-controlled was enough to get me to read it - I don't think the sensational title was really called for.
- sp332 15y agoIt's an unusual coincidence, considering the World Trade Center was also destroyed on 9/11.
- javanix 15y agoIf anything it's a minor coincidence that the World Trade Center was destroyed precisely 28 years after a Chilean revolt. The two events have absolutely nothing in common with one another other than sharing an arbitrary day and month of the year.
- sp332 15y agoThey were both major centers of economic control.
- staticshock 15y agoThe fact that the year only has a mere 365 days has always been a boon to numerologists...
- mojuba 15y agoPlus, whether it's a coincidence or not, one event overshadows the other - Pinochet's coup and destruction of one possible future of humanity (Edit: the USSR was having high hopes in relation to Cybersyn). Google for 9/11, you will see only one and not the other.
