In your rhetoric, using the term "troll" is meant to be a put down, eh? I think
you've been suffering from too much Internet poisoning.

You seem to agree, irrespective of motive, that as a "death" is a boundary on
the limits of a population so "conspiracy" is a boundary of PCP.

Not at all. These things you mention are simply stage management; - a placebo
for the masses. Not that you could ever see them as such, but I liken your
so-called competitive structures to various groups of elephantine Scientologists
vying with each other to see who can carve out the most credits from their clam
followers.

Counter Capitalism

A juxtaposition and geometrical psychological spoof adapted and edited from Bob
Penny's critique of mind control. This is a project of mine that started out
comparing web counters to capitalism. It has since developed into a scientific
study of a social theory.
