  • this is very true but i gotta defend my object-oriented languages here (real object-oriented, not c+±style object-oriented). there’s a lot of way cooler stuff you can do with ruby or groovy or smalltalk that you just can’t do with rust, for example. objects aren’t special cases, the entire system is supposed to be implementable in itself. obviously the machine code itself can’t be objects but the good languages do their best to mask that.


  • this is true if you’re analyzing people who have already wholeheartedly and consciously accepted the ruling ideology. but when they haven’t, it kind of doesn’t apply. propaganda can entice people to disregard their rationality when they materially benefit from believing it. but it doesn’t mean rationality plays no part in it.

    It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.
