Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jul 22, 2015Getting free of other people is just the first 1% of freedom. The other 99% is freedom from your own demons.21023
Alrenous@Alrenous·Aug 2, 2015Replying to @vgrWell, I have to quibble with the numbers. Oppression is hardly impossible. @vgr1
Alrenous@Alrenous·Aug 2, 2015Replying to @vgrIf you really don't think I can even grok the maths, why are you wasting time responding? @vgr1
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Aug 2, 2015Replying to @Alrenous@Alrenous I am genuinely curious how you reached the conclusion that I think oppression isn't real.1
Alrenous@Alrenous·Aug 2, 2015Replying to @vgr@vgr Ah, my error. I don't think that. I have a good idea of the size of the 99%, which pegs the 1% at smaller than typical oppressions.1
Alrenous@Alrenous·Aug 2, 2015Replying to @Alrenous@vgr Similarly, while many, even most are dominated by their own demons, some are dominated by the demons of others.1

Alrenous@Alrenous·Aug 2, 2015Replying to @vgr@vgr That's unfortunate. Lucky you caught it before it spiralled too far, though.
