Reading Antifragile by Nassim Taleb was eye-opening for me. I turn to the concepts of the book whenever I feel unsure about a decision or opinion.

    You wouldn’t have post scarcity society in anarchism, though. And if that has been achieved before, it would be what they attack first.

      There’s different flavors of anarchism just like there’s different flavors of anything. Saying they’d all “attack x first” is very far beyond what any person can reasonably predict. Particularly given how chaotic anarchy can be.

        I really should, that is true. I’ll put it on the list. I’ve read most of Doctorow’s older books already.
