    Coordination does not require, and in fact is hampered by, a master! That’s literally the point of the book I suggested! Everyone can coordinate! It works better that way!

    thing you said like it’s a gotcha, after pretending I understand what the fuck youre talking about and ignoring all the actual science and math because it’s in a big scary book that would be too hard to read and just pretending I understand is easier.

    We’re done here.

      I understand the point of the book. I also understand that horizontalism has some use-cases, but not all. The example of Cybersyn is a great one, it combines top-down decision making with bottom-up inputs. It has management, but is planned in a cohesive, centralized fashion.

      Your gotchas were cheap, so I just turned them around on you because they applied more to you than me.

          I’ve read a good deal more than just Capital. Again, though, trying to have a “theory measuring contest” is stupid, and it doesn’t matter if you or I have read more or less than the other, what matters is the content of the argument at hand, if it’s correct or not.
