Its looking like the Anatomy of the State was right
that or thousands/millions of other books, essays, treatises, manifestos, etc. saying the same thing.
it's an indictment of humanity that we keep doing these same things despite it being so well documented and analyzed.
The knowledge is being handed down correctly. Thats our biggest advantage as a species, the passing of knowledge to the next generation, and its like something is making sure we dont learn this lesson.
i struggle to convince myself that the knowledge is useful when it's so widely & willfully ignored.
Usefulness and people's willingness to use it are not correlated unfortunately
