I hate to break it to all the pro-civ technophiles out there but it's simply impossible for a modern, high-tech western lifestyle to be generalized to the entire world, as they imagine in their techno-utopian fantasies, because such a standard of living relies on colonization and extraction zones. Some people go further and say we actually need even more production and more advanced technology

The good news is that we don't actually need these imaginary super machines and increased production - we have produced far more stuff than we're ever going to need, and that'll become more clear if we ever put an end to planned obsolescence, the idea that we can just throw anything and everything away, and so on.

Sometimes I'll be talking about blues music and someone will lean in and be like, "So.... Matt...... do you really think Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil?" And I'll say, "No," and they get pissed at me for ruining their fun.

Leaving aside the theological and metaphysical issues, and the problematic notion of linking a Black musician's skill to forbidden, demonic powers rather than lots of practice, if people could sell their souls for musical ability, there wouldn't be so many bad guitar players.

The musician who actually was associated with a supernatural deal at the crossroads was Tommy Johnson, not Robert Johnson (no relation). According to Tommy's brother: ‘He said the reason he knowed so much, said he sold hisself to the devil. I asked him how. He said, “If you… take your guitar and go down to where a road crosses that way, where a crossroad is. … get there a little ‘fore twelve o’clock that night so you know you’ll be there. You have your guitar and be playing a piece sitting by yourself. A big black man will walk up and take your guitar, and he’ll tune it. And then he’ll play a piece, and hand it back to you. That’s the way I learned to play any piece I want.”'

Note that Tommy's brother, LeDell Johnson, was a minister, so all of this might simply be the equivalent to an old pastor in the 70s claiming there are Satanic messages if you play a Led Zeppelin song backwards. But if it is true, notice that Tommy himself never identified the "big black man" as the devil.

God bless the grass that grows through the crack They roll the concrete over it to try and keep it back The concrete gets tired of what it has to do It breaks and it buckles and the grass grows thru And God bless the grass God bless the truth that fights toward the sun They roll the lies over it and think that it is done It moves through the ground and reaches for the air And after a while it is growing everywhere And God bless the grass

God bless the grass that breaks through cement It's green and its tender and it's easily bent But after a while it lifts up its head For the grass is living and the stone is dead And God bless the grass

God bless the grass that's gentle and low Its roots they are deep and its will is to grow And God bless the truth, the friend of the poor And the wild grass growing at the poor man's door And God bless the grass

oh no no no baby no no drop that

I'm an anarchist, and still consider anarchism "the left wing of all socialisms," which is a somewhat old-fashioned conception of anarchism, I'll admit, but I still consider myself part of the socialist movement in the broadest possible use of the term. I have absolutely no desire to live in a "socialist commune" because I believe that socialism involves the transformation of society and not building tiny enclosures within capitalism and calling them socialist. Or communist, anarchist, or whatever.
