if i were a conspiratorial blob i'd say the age range enforcement is some control grid thing to prevent intergenerational cooperation.

you've already seen how much the boomers and millenials were successfully played against each other.

that kind of thing didn't really exist historically.

@icedquinn this is absolutely on purpose.

you have much less conflicts with mixed age groups of children vs. how public schools are doing it, for example. normally, bigger kids love to help younger ones and younger kids don't fear older ones. until they all are put into these public institutions.

makes people much better controllable if they have to rely on the state for help, not on other generations.

@bonifartius yeah idk specifics but i saw a very long documentary podcast years ago. it was some ten hour thing on burning man, and touched on the control grid's deliberate ruination of society.

like how IT used to be seen as a professional, academic profession. and women (granted, as glorified secretaries) were integrated in to the field. it was then split up with the creation of 'nerd culture' to make the tech people unsociable to everyone else, so they would stay siloed and controllable.

its weird that while normies are in fact evil (peter singer) they were, historically, slightly less pieces of shit before a lot of social engineering happened.

its really wild to read that actually, the average peasant didn't completely hate the duke.

what has happened in tech is pretty weird. the anarcho part seems to be completely gone by now, replaced by corporate HR culture. when do you think the split happend?

@bonifartius logos media/gnostic media podcast, burning man episodes. if they're still up.
