      Thoughts on the impact of the information explosion on society: When the agricultural revolution happened, people traded ok but scarce diets for shittier but more readily available ones.

      I assume some elites never traded (down), and continued to consume the more varied and nutritionally dense food that was previously available, but the resulting population explosion shifted the social organization into a more highly structured caste system...

      ...partially because society got that much more complicated with that many more people.

      The current information explosion isn't really leading to a higher population (if anything, people are fucking less, and there are more types of birth control), but it does seem like it's introducing something weird into the underlying class system that exists today.

      People are both more geographically mobile and more limited by their dependence on the trappings of civilization - it's much harder to gather a group of people and walk away into the forest if you want to, both for technical and power-asymmetrical reasons.

      People still compete with status displays but there's a rapidly accelerating aesthetic arms race, where the previously scarce signaling mechanisms (colours, design, branding) get rapidly reverse engineered and imitations flood the market and destroy the signal's utility.

          The frontiers are all virtual, which leaves peoples' bodies abandoned in physical space.

          I sometimes wonder if the egregious displays of class violence exhibited by today's rich are motivated by that. "How else are they supposed to know who is the pleb and who is the patrician?"

          Can you give an example?

          Sure. I found Clinton's tweeting her staffer's medical gofundme after being ambivalent-to-negative on socialized healthcare to be quite an egregious example. Then there is anything done by Amazon recently. Bezos doesn't need cash. Not having to care is its own status symbol.

          I've been wondering how a website can signal high status nowdays. Maybe animations that manage to load quickly. Requires a good designer and coding skills
