Maybe something positive could come out of this, so I’m not loud about opposing this particular case of uncreative destruction. I don’t have a very strong opinion or intuition about this.

But I am getting very tired of the constant “let’s break shit” attitude. I have long shared this attitude. But after six years of “let’s break shit” all the time, I’m kind of noticing that our situation is not actually improving.

Which I think should be something we consider, unless the only thing we want from the “let’s break shit” agenda is just breaking shit.

[It’s an excellent and nuanced post from Ace, who very kindly linked me in an earlier part of it. Perhaps this impulse has reached its exhaustion point. — Ed]
