Slashdot [slashdot.org] still exists. Kind of like MySpace. Interesting bit is I scanned today and headline topics were more interesting than used to be. Maybe smaller cohort has improved quality. I may try tracking feed again.

@johngordon … Put another way … Humans seem to have a collective action impulse that is dangerous in modern environment and is correlated with religious activity. What is best way to divert and contain that? Religious diversity?

Listening to In Our Time discuss 1930 nat-soc as religious mania. Plausible human failure mode. Do established religions lessen that risk? Be interesting to read a historical review.

@johngordon One theory of meeting growth as marker of corporate dysfunction: “Oz’s “army of generals”. Mega-corp have broken the marketplace, so now generals proliferate unchecked. #b
