Quote from: comrade simba on Feb 05, 2025, 07:09 PMNice to have people wanting me around. K-Dog, the same thing happened to me at Silco years ago. I just got zorched during an update... never happened before on anyone else... never happened since.

I just got zorched out of Silo on general principles.

It is my opinion that the internet is the most fantastic creator of information and intellectual thought silos ever invented by humanity. Professionally, it is hysterical to watch the effects of it play out among the professional younglings. They are smart, great ideas, they come into meetings, present their new cool idea, never once reached beyond their silo, and stand there beaming at their audience at the end just waiting for the accolades to come in from the audience.

And one person asks a single quesion, that reveals without any more questioning that is is a house of cards. Makes me laugh my ass off every time.

I characterize this issue as someone saying at the beginning of their big windup... "If we start with the assumption that 2+2=5 then what follows must be true.....".

God love all peak oilers for having taught me this one long ago, to not be surprised as I watched it evolve into the real world, and then the internet builds forums around it. A riot.
