Evolutionary psychology, together with neuroplasticity, dispel the enchantments (for those so disposed) of The Path of Death, of peccatum originale, radix mali, and perhaps even of concupiscence. So now what?
Capitalism, as such, arrived on this planet in the unprecedented social property relations of mutual market dependence.

"The 16th C. social revolution was the result of the concentration of landed property and the development of new relationships between landlord and tenant." (R.H.Tawney, 1912)

UTOPIAN thought of the day:
A globally-financed project, using quantum computing with photonic processors, can defend billions of people against their certain death from the impending climate catastrophe.

The UK is caught in a Resource-Curse tail-spin.
Thing is, when the idea of the Resource-Curse was first thought of, no-one had any notion that you could also be double-cursed by the deadly virus of global Private Equity too.
That is exactly what it is, a Finance Curse. Like that famous pacman game, the finance industry is devouring the UK economy. Private equity is making its way into everything, with a fervour for profiteering, tax dodging, asset-stripping.

"Toute #sociologie présuppose une philosophie morale.
Toute philosophie morale est une idéologie abstraite.
Toute idéologie est une distorsion systématique de la communication par le pouvoir.
La théorie du pouvoir dans la société est la sociologie."

–– @innes-k.bsky.social définit la #sociology.
Every sociology presupposes a moral philosophy.
Every moral philosophy is an abstracted ideology.
All ideology is the systematic distortion of communication by power.
The theory of power in society is sociology.

#ClaudeAi doesn't sit on the fence. It goes with the vibe and flatters you without shame.
This is its answer to my suggestion that Wittgenstein's 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒔 𝑳𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒄𝒐-𝑷𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒔 is pure Dada:
