ASCII by Jason Scott: The Tyranny of the Ratio
Not every part of history is bright and cheerful, and some concepts which we think we’ve grown past are certainly still with us to the present day. In these cases, historical knowledge of the situation is even more disheartening than none at all. Nothing’s worse than knowing we’ve encountered a problem before, have dealt with the problem, and now the problem has optimized and made itself even more insidious and evil the next time around.Many situations fall under this general description, but I speak today of the Ratio.
This one is regarding the largely unsolvable problem of “community”. At least it’s good to know there’s always going to be problems.
