@aral and it's kinda working. For the first time in a long while people start to care about content quality, legitimacy and intellectual property.

It's almost like #accelerationism works?

@wraptile “If we pollute the environment even more, maybe people will care more about the environment.”
@aral yes! It's called the "comfort zone" and I'm not sure whether you're being wilfully ignorant or have some sort of agenda?
@wraptile @aral Or, third option, what you're saying doesn't make much sense.
@doikayt @aral you don't believe in the existence of comfort zones?

@wraptile @aral I don't have any political economy theories based around "comfort zones." We can talk in terms of class interest, capitalist superstructure, or even Overton Windows, but all I can associate with "comfort zones" is individualistic self-help coaching techniques designed to encourage individuals' discipline.

Edit: I "believe in" the attached definition, absolutely.

@doikayt @aral OK chatgpt, you win 👋
