I don’t *really* grok the modern Moloch meme of Ginsberg/SSC provenance 🤔 I get it intellectually but it feels like there’s something I’m supposed to viscerally appreciate that I don’t. That makes me part of Moloch doesn’t it? Or just Moloch-blind?

Is there a synonym for Moloch you prefer? The closest I can think of is 'incentives', but it's not a 1-to-1 mapping. So some of its value just comes from creating a useful shorthand, similar to 'premium mediocre'.

In your other tweet you said moloch === tragedy of the commons? Is that a phrase you use? Perhaps you agree with the concept of moloch but dislike the aesthetic and prefer other roughly equal terms ??
