@lain @cjd the issue is that strutural problems dont need to be ill intendently planned. A less politixal example would be the whole problem with modern science, that not only has dificulty reproducing results but has obvious bias toward ideologies and theories that give more validity to the system.
Scientists dont need to be comicbook villains all in acourd to falsify results and systematically support the system. The simple fact that most research is funded by the system and that they have to “show results” to get funding and prestige its enough for them to act the way they act.
I would recomend everybody in this thread to check this article by Theodore Kaczynski. And yes I keep the term “the System” vague just like him because everybody with their personal political believes defines it differently and trying to define it explicitally would probably derail the convo.
