Understanding Power by Noam Chomsky

That's the point. How does technology solve that incentive problem?

Funny thought: Does ITP use ML to determine that googleadservices.com is a "prevalent" domain?

The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein and The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes were both great.

I read The Making of the Atomic Bomb as a junior/seniorin high school and it took me forever to get through but I enjoyed it so much that I picked it up again after two years of college. Absolutely fantastic read on both the technical aspect and the literary composition.

I wish everyone would read the Shock Doctrine or at least understand the gist of it.

I wouldn't say "classic" since you're referring to fairly recent events. If I had to guess, the OP was speaking about mid-20th century targeting of progressive groups by US law enforcement agencies (e.g. sending MLK fake hate mail whose intent, according to many, was to induce suicide).

"As one of China's main trading partners, China doesn't want to pick a fight with the united states any more than we want to pick a fight with China."

Such thinking was very common going into World War I. The mutual economic interests of all of the nations involved led many people to believe it would be over in a few months.

This made me play games for the first time in ages, it's a great feature that's a delight to turn on.

Thanks for all the help.

Correct assumption.
