The most convincing depiction of anarchy I have seen is Ursula K. LeGuin's The Dispossessed , where they have deep social conventions that make claiming any kind of power over others taboo. But that never seemed to me a sufficient saf

No. The argument is not that some people should be placed in a position of power, let alone an irrevocable one. The argument is that that you cannot organize a society without having some people in positions of power of some sort. And if

The problem is that the nature of non-hierarchies is that they inevitably allow the power hungry to establish hierarchies of their own design.

Depend on, in the sense of hoping they just magically turn up and make everything right, no. But you cannot have a well working society without them. The key is, then, to set up a system that improves the chances of having them in charge, r

What's Orwell's own solution, though? The whole point of Animal Farm is that the existing order was overthrown, with the best of intentions, and some unscrupulous individuals, with support from naive idealists and selfish opport

The specific example is indeed not that great in terms of communicating clearly, given how it begs an obvious, if nonessential question. Works well as click bait, of course. But the basic idea is sound and useful. Putting the most important

First time I heard of My Mind. Looks really nice, but how is it not yet another cloud note taking app? To me, the biggest problem of this kind of tool is that if you use it to its fullest potential, it necessarily becomes a crucial part of

Analogies are treacherous. There is absolutely no guarantee that just because all these technologies shaped humans, this new one will shape them in similar ways and scope.

I think you underestimate the scale of the problem by a few orders of magnitude. That park is over a thousand square kilometers, mountainous, and with very few roads.

The point is that an ISO image is just a file, and if that file is on a USB stick, it can be accidentally overwritten or deleted, same as any other file. And if someone really wanted to (in a black hat scenario), it would absolutely be po

Immutability is not a property of the ISO file (system) format, it's a property of having it live on an optical disc. But most computers these days don't have drives for optical discs, and if your ISO is merely a file on a USB sti

The article seems to miss the key fact that made the Mongols (and before them the Huns) able to conquer half the world: their entire army was cavalry , and the horses could survive simply by grazing. This gave their army incredibly speed a
