CANNON BALL, North Dakota -- "One of the Standing Rock medics described how police targeted medics, and violently arrested medics, while they were treating people during the violent police attack on Standing Rock water protectors on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016 at Treaty Camp, directly on the path of Dakota Access Pipeline.

"The medic could see silencers on police weapons.

"'If they are here for peace, then why do their weapons have silencers on them?'

"As the medics struggled to treat those who were victims of the police attack, they became victims and were violently arrested.

"'The vehicle we were in had red crosses on it. They knew we were medics.They sprayed me head to toe. They pointed shotguns at my back while I was treating patients."

:: You see, it’s not just how you see the world that changes. To measure a system is to forever alter it: a physical effect on matter itself. Any object recorded or counted is subject to this distortion. The universe looked very different before the first imagination dreamed of numbers. No modern human eye has seen (or mind perceived) the unsubtized beauty of nature in tens of thousands of years. And yet, in the wilds of deepest wilderness, there are … refuges remnants of a metricless universe.
Good grief, Weizenbaum wrote this ~50 years ago. Remind you of anything in particular currently happening in tech?
If capitalism was a viable system on its own it wouldn’t need to be maintained through fraudulence and violence, it would stand on its own. The fact capitalism needs to be forced upon us this way indicates capitalism is not the prevailing system but an implement of some other hierarchy.
