i tend to favor education in how controllers work as a cybernetic concept, because people do understand they are being predated upon but they keep thinking winning one vote means anything.

it doesn't, really, because they're more like advanced persistent threats or systems that specialize in taking over systems.

i think i outlined this already with the note that sociopaths are morally comfortable using everyone for their own ends, while normal people don't really do much to stop this, which is probably also the whole point of the mops vs geeks article

its hard to blame them though because schooling in the USA was literally co-opted to produce easily controlled morons, and the model is replicated worldwide to varying degrees of success.
