The science of revolution. It's a process. A dialectic process. A means of understanding society through action and changing it through understanding. It's like asking which is the right explanation for things, physics or chemistry? Biology or mathematics? They're all different tools to tackle different problems in the attempt to understand the universe.

Which experimental outcomes line up with reality? Those who achieved revolution. We know some plans worked in their context and some didn't. We can formulate plans of our own for our own context. Those that lead to revolution are the right ones. Those that just lead to navel-gazing and academic debates are not correct.

"I'm just gonna stop any attempt at a scientific understanding of capital and power dynamics to make sure that communists don't organize too many people at once."

Phones did this with a dedicated facebook button right before the went all touchscreen and you had apps. I assume we're going to start seeing touch screen mice soon.

After the revolution we use writers for The Economist to torture the other prisoners by having them do 'splainers on memes.

Frank Underwood complaining about woke, praising X, says he was canceled.

 

When you're not driving it, you can wear it like a mech. It all happens on X.

 
 
 

Yet the CIA can't even make an effective heart attack gun. What is all that money for? You could have just made lemonade.

 

Sorry Gosling. Trump kino is on the menu.

 
 

They're so proudly ignorant. Every policy board, every think tank, every council is full of people who do intellectual vibes but despise having to actually learn things or think about stuff. They're completely obsessed with misinformation and being the smartest person in the room but have no tolerance for knowledge or curiosity.

Don't ever let them get away with saying the common person is too stupid to understand the real world. They are epistemological vandals. They replace actual knowledge with markets and consider learning to be an exercise in marketing.

 
 

Imagine spending years playing San Andreas. GTA IV hasn't been announced. Your mind races with the possibilities of a new game. You imagine they're going to do a whole country instead of a few cities. You think of all the mini games, all the weapons, and customization. It is the first "next gen" GTA after all.

Then you have been playing IV for years. GTA V hasn't been announced. Once again your mind races with possibilities. There is no end to the amount of detail it will have, there is nothing you can't do, there is no limit to the map.

Now you've been playing V for years. Here we go again. But there really isn't anything to imagine. You know it's going to be just a bigger map. At least until it gets close to release, where the devs admit the map is the same size as V. They claim it's okay because there's more things to do. But all that means is more things to collect, more so-so mini games.

You've played RDR2 so you know how much detail it could have. You know they'll simulate everything. So there can't be any real surprises. You'll see more wildlife. Your car windows will fog up. Your character will swat mosquitos.

You know the graphics can be just a little better, not like moving from PS2 to PS3. More reflections, slightly better lighting, a little more detail in the textures.

Now you realize you're on the plateau. There are no more great heights to surmount.There is only lateral movement from here on out. GTA VI can only be as good as V, with marginal gains in every category, but not exceptional gains in any. You'll drive from Point A to B. You'll shoot the gangs. You'll escort the cars. Everything you have already done.

There is a running theme in culture right now and it's that large, long-standing franchises are starting to eat shit. They can no longer push the needle. GTA will join them.
