    If you can't challenge pieties, illogic, and conformism then public dialogue is pointless. It's just everyone rubbing each other's backs.

        I think public dialogue is being phased out in favor of ultimate uniformity of the new technocratic society. No need to question anything.

        Proponents of direct democracy keep regurgitating the myth of swarm intelligence. But if it wasn't for smart quirks we wouldn't be here.

        Not making that argument, but can see a legit argument why Hosts are different than Networks (ISPs), storage service vs. access utility.

        "Rubbing each other's backs" is not the euphemism I would have used.

        It's getting weird. The same people who fancy themselves "progressives" are also defending Nazis
