This really captures something important about how power operates across different eras you're drawing from some heavy hitting historical precedents.
I'm curious about the full sweep of political philosophy (Magna Carta through UDHR), it feels like it has something to inform us about people problems vs. technical problems.
That final image about seasons changing is quite evocative, really drives home the cyclical nature of these power struggles. A technical standard cannot prevent blood shorn for man's freedom.
- benreesman 1y agoVery kind of you to say, though I can't take credit for any of the ideas: they're all a lot older than I am. Important to keep them in circulation in my view.
- crabmusket 1y agoSincerely, I do not think blood is ever shorn?
- refulgentis 1y agoLol yeah you're right I shouldn't have leaned into how epic I felt without at least checking XD
