[FRIAM] Score one for Wokeism!

No, I thought I made it quite clear that I'm asserting the disease is our identification of individuals with the peaks (which is why I posted the Great Man article). Canceling Kevin Spacey isn't at all about Kevin Spacey. It's about the space of celebrity actors in movies. Canceling Nutt isn't about Nutt. It's about the consolidation of Big Science.

The problem exhibited by Bret Weinstein's shoulder chip is that Bret thinks his canceling was about *him*. It had nothing to do with him. It has to do with the homogeneity of the landscape.

The same argument can be leveled against Jon's point. Totalitarianism is not an inevitable consequence of our high connectivity because as connectivity approaches infinity, the "individual" dissolves and collections of individuals become the functional unit. Continuing to hold individuals as first order objects is the disease.
