Would it help if we just called it Fake Intelligence?
A spider decided to spin it's web across the kid's bedroom doorway, and I walked right through it and screamed. So we got out the spider book and tried to identify it. A horrifying, teachable moment.
"To convincingly transform into a neuroscientist, Leung’s preparation was fiercely intellectual. Enyedi assigned him several heady books, including the eco-philosophy tome “Ways of Being” by James Bridle" 🤯 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/movies/tony-leung-in-the-mood-for-love-silent-friend.html?unlocked_article_code=1.h1A.sa2n.gT3FFkYuaby6&smid=nytcore-ios-share

I highly recommend Ward's "Anarchism: A Very Short Introduction" as an introduction to his ideas, and Anarchism in general. And follow it up with "Anarchy in Action", his central text.

Ward's "Housing: An Anarchist's Approach" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing:_An_Anarchist_Approach is about as clear a statement you could get on Anarchism as, in Ward's words, "an assertion of human dignity and responsibility. It is not a programme for political change but an act of social self-determination".
