    I wasn’t actually the one advocating specifically that program, and I’m not interested in arguing a Wikipedia article with somebody who’s never actually read the literature and understands none of the underlying concepts.

    You’re reading to confirm what you believe, looking for key words, not to acquire new information. Thats how Hitler said to read in his book. I urge you to better reading material.

    If you’re too addled by the 20s to make it through a doorstopper pike 'brain of the firm’¹ there was a podcast called ‘general intellect unit’ where a couple Marxists explored the concepts and went over the key points. Listen to most of that at minimum.

    ¹not a dig at you; I probably couldn’t at this point. Shit’s fucked. Kind of afraid to check.

      I’m well aware already, I’ve read about cybernetics, I haven’t read Brain of the Firm specifically but have done other reading on the subject, including how to calculate prices, and how to move beyond price. I don’t just read to confirm what I believe, I became a Marxist-Leninist after changing my mind from an anarchist because I read to challenge my existing understanding and deepen it. You insult me with no actual knowledge of me, nor what I’ve read. It’s shallow.
