>you can't get political ecology without nuclear hellfire.
but we *did* tho. we *did* get political ecology without this. do you know who this guy is? the secret hero of the twentieth century. we actually managed to defer nuclear Gave Over screens.

if people absolutely want to fucking kill themselves playing chicken there's very little that can be done to stop them. the French Revolution tells an incredible story about this very thing, how things twist and turn and unfold in the most incredible ways. the great philosopher for that is Hegel, he memorializes it all and then some in the PoS. the only question now is what to do with the miraculous borrowed time we have all been granted. it agonized and terrified generations of French post-structuralists and we inherit an even more complicated problem today from them: surviving the end of history they predicted.

i think it is the age of the Do Over button, or the New Game+. the same thing, perhaps, just harder and yet with more bonus unlocks. to repeat and repeat and repeat again, encore. but, you know, maybe more skilfully, and wisely, and carefully.

well hats off to you for indulging me anyways. as i've said, there's absolutely no reason for you to go back to the Austrians either, i'm obviously totally fine with this. Mises is a very sobering man and sobriety, lucidity and sanity are among my favorite characteristics, whether philosophers or economists. Marx shouldn't BTFO everything you have read or thought up until now, that's fine. i hope it doesn't! that's not how thought works anyways...

but a more sophisticated, subtle arrangement of disparate ideas: this is always more what i am hoping for. much as in games, which evolve by the progressive incorporation of subgames, until we get something that increasingly comes to look and feel like reality itself...
