One of the dumber things about the torment nexus is that a lot of it also gives tree falling in a forrest in the ways that it enables regressive, alienated attribution to things that previous we dealt with attribution free or better, that left no legacy in the material world.
To use pithy examples, I would rather live in a world where graffiti emerges “from nowhere” and trash left after a party is an emergent property of parties and so on.
If we are gonna universalize some idiot’s preference, it should be mine that we universalize and not some rich weirdo’s. But it’s always some rich weirdo’s.
