Newton’s laws are quite an epiphany – even at its raw state, tech has constant or accelerated growth. The irony to this is that in order to have a form of political consensus, you’d like need a revolutionary leader like Peter the Great to bring about tremendous change, bearing in mind there is some form of authoritarianism – then again, when there is any leader of sort even in democracy, there is traces of authoritarianism.  Or – the Napolean Bonaparte version – post pain – and a huge anarchist revolution. I’ve been thinking a lot about the latter, and that maybe Bitcoin and Nostr is going to be how everyone takes shelter, safe haven. 

I did not know about the IBM punch card tech and the access usage by Nazi. I googled this up, Edwin Black has a book in this "IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation. “ (cc Uncle Bob who is doing  a lot of historic computer growth reads nostr:npub19mun7qwdyjf7qs3456u8kyxncjn5u2n7klpu4utgy68k4aenzj6synjnft).  

But I was fascinated with the fact that Hitler rose from extreme polarisation of democracy during the Weimar Republic times. That and a number of big companies supported Holocaust – Volks, Audi, Allianz, Porsche, Hugo Boss, Siemens, Shell, Deutshe Bank, Associated Press. 

If you think about it, there was a time where a large group of people and capitalist industry that thought ethnic cleansing was ok. 

Maybe history, like fashion, repeats – just like how the Jews taking shelter  back in Russia today like they did about a hundred years ago. Would be interesting to see which way the branch leads – political consensus or aftermath of pain. 

After all, physics is deeply rooted in psychology, sounds about apt getting on an enlightenment era version 2. Thanks for the great take.
