your questions are a major part of *why* this thing im writing is so important there's been an immense amount of progress and possibility that is *fucking invisible* because people are both not aware of it and also there's no narrative to slot it into. in particular fucking marxists. so often they *just don't get it*. i've had aging marxist professors ask me *to my face* to explain what something like signal might do
unbelievably frustrating
