Shirky really thinks the world brought about by men being assholes has anything at all to recommend it!

He’s not recommending the world brought about by men being assholes. He’s recommending a strategy for advancement in such a world.

But you knew that…

I don’t think Shirky’s piece was snark either — that’s my snark. Which does not change one whit my point. The better world of which you write will not come about by the old boys network strategy of lying to get ahead. Think of the power as it is exercised in the world, by men: hierarchal … Notice what that got us. I envision power as something quite other, as power shared and spread around. Which will lead to a more equable, less-suffering world?

As I say, the old road is rapidly aging, crumbling, the infrastructure is shot …
