I hate the "human nature" meme but I don't blame the hopelessness of the current situation simply on the hegemony of techno-capitalism, how can any society seriously function with inequality and hierarchy? In anthropological terms any study of early stratified and urbanized sedentary societies shows the rise of inequality with the division of labour. I know Marx attempts to explain this away with his historical stages of development but the end of advent of equality under communism is pure speculation on his part. I don't like inequality or extravagant wealth but I don't see a way to abolish them without abolishing society itself, which you'd have to be a true edgelord to want.

Comfy.

Edgily dark dystopia/social satire set in a near-future post-literary society (heavily inspired by Tolstaia's Slynx, check it out if you haven't anons.) Written from pov of main character (textual transcription of him speaking to his computer), deals with ai and vr as well. Basically follows the premise that techno-capitalism continues to accelerate at the current rate, but deliberately over the top and polemical in how it deals with contemporary society and its issues. Basically what Tolstaia was trying to do with her novel and its harsh satirical critique of 90s Russia.

This board went to shit. I remember when /lit/ was one of the best boards of 4chan. Now it's mostly frog posting and memes. Too bad, 4chan is truly died.

We haven't had a history thread in a while. Share some interesting stories, recommend books etc.

For start, I'll recommend a book most probably are familiar with, but still, for those of you who aren't, check "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown.

Is violent conflict and strife the default state of humanity? Is war our natural habitat?
