someone else said it may have been more of a reference to Yuval Harari's "Sapiens" but i haven't read that so i'm not sure. gonna grab a copy and look.
speaking of Against the Grain, i think Hideo Kojima may have been Scott-pilled, judging from this message i got in Death Stranding
genuinely really sad to hear that James C Scott died. i know some people are claiming him as a committed anarchist, which is just demonstrably not true - but he radically changed how i think about and articulate my problems with the state. Against the Grain and, moreso, Seeing Like A State are incredible works.
it's sad to know we'll never hear more from him. two cheers for you, Scott!

redrafting this because i misunderstood:
after losing a lawsuit, CompactMag, headed by Nina Power, had their logs leaked as part of the lawsuit.
i was under the misunderstanding that a victim of Nina's harassment sued her - i have since discovered it was the other way around! after harassing a "Luke Turner" to the point that he called her and her compatriot Daniel Miller fascists, they decided to sue Luke for libel! which revealed their messages in which they admit to being straight up neo-nazis!
