  • Political change in the bourgeois system comes from the bourgeois response to the sentiment of the people. But the sentiment of the people is by and large dictated by the bourgeoisie. To successfully win reforms is to break this link and energize the people. But if you’ve energized the people enough to scare the bourgeoisie into reform, what do you need the reforms for? They exist only to placate.



  • It used to be when you searched for something, it was information first, products second. If you searched bicycle, it would give you the Wikipedia page for bicycle, and then pages related to bicycles, some of which would be retailers. Now it’s the other way around, if the informational pages even show up at all.

    Forget all the AI bullshit, this is my biggest gripe with search engines today. This is why people use ChatGPT - for all its faults - to search shit that Google used to answer. ChatGPT will confidently lie to you, but it least it gives you an answer instead of trying to sell something to you.




  • Surely it a river doesn’t go all the way around the earth. Rivers typically have one (or many) start points, where they are surrounded on three sides by land, meaning it’s possible to cross from one side to the other. Otherwise it’s just a strait or channel.

    However, that assumes you are not on the land in between a fork in the river. In which case you would have to cross a bridge outside of Königsberg, and we might have to expand the problem to crossing every bridge on the continent once.
