For the last few weeks, we have not been able to see the latest results for these two searches but we can see top results. All her other book titles and #BindingChaos still work, and these two were never a problem before. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have a fix?

"Where the representative falls short in knowledge or experience, they then have the authority to hire the needed expertise, providing a perfectly fertile ground for corruption and cronyism, as well as incompetence." — Heather Marsh, Binding Chaos, Ch 4. #BindingChaos
An infographic on a cream background displays a businessman's silhouette on the left and a quote on the right.The silhouette wears a suit jacket, white shirt, and tie. Its interior is packed with miniature illustrations of people working at office desks. At the very bottom of the torso, rows of green boxes filled with cash symbolize the financial corruption propping up the leader's power.To the right, a dark serif quote by Heather Marsh from her book Binding Chaos argues that charismatic leaders lack expertise and create fertile ground for corruption, cronyism, and incompetence by hiring their own "experts." The author's name is printed below in terracotta orange. Decorative accents include an orange quotation mark badge at the top and small geometric color swatches in the corners.

"Every democratic leader is holding a position of leadership that is owned and temporarily granted to him by the people. These positions can always be taken back by the people in a real democracy." — Heather Marsh. #BindingChaos www.patreon.com/BindingChaos...
Every democratic leader is holding a position of leadership that is owned and temporarily granted to him by the people. These positions can always be taken back by the people in a real democracy.

The overly broad use of the term ‘voters’ is meant to convince people that acceptable democratic involvement is restricted to voting, donating money, and fighting online against any and all criticism of the person they voted for. This view of democracy reminds me so much of the televangelists that insisted every week that God was going to call them home if they didn’t get enough money and prayers from the audience. In fact, I am quite certain they have the same audiences; some have replaced religion with politics, but the culture remains the same. Only money and blind allegiance will keep the Big Bad away. This is the belief of infantilized adults who want to prop up an untouchable patriarch to protect them and take their responsibility from them. They want dictatorship, not democracy.

Oh hello Kamala Harris who just joined Bluesky this morning. Yesterday she posted on X “today in every state across our nation Americans are standing up to the administration as they implement project 2025 at full speed. Thank you for using your voices and the power of protest to stand for social security, Medicare, Medicaid, Department of education, and programs like Headstart, for clean air and water, for the right to make decisions about your own body without government interference. The voices of working people will always be louder than the galactic billionaires.

How Heather Marsh used her voice as Wikileaks and Anonymous to bring the 2011 protests to the US (where they were rebranded as Occupy). Also, how her work has always been credited to others who use it for their own (bad) ends. #BindingChaos www.smh.com.au/technology/a...
established on March 10. Four days later, the account had 1077 followers and was reportedly growing at a rate of three followers every 10 minutes. On March 14, Marsh used the WL Central website to promote the group's cause.
"Americans are outraged because they realise that there is something terribly wrong with the way our nation is governed, and the way in which our public discourse is conducted," she wrote. The nation's institutions, meant to underpin the principles of our democratic republic, do not function effectively in the 21st century. Their failure leaves us prey to rampant corruption, unprincipled and abusive government action, and a demoralised populace.
While Assange's involvement, if any, with this initiative is unclear, that same day, WikiLeaks tweeted a link to the US Day of Rage announcement on the WL Central website, with the observation "Arab revolutions to spread to the US? A United States Day of Rage' is brewing.
US Day of Rage's growth dramatically accelerated. In April, Marsh again used the WL Central website to elaborate US Day of Rage's critique of "corporate influence [that] corrupts our political parties, our elections, and the institutions of government".
By August, US Day of Rage had combined with Occupy Wall Street to announce September 17 as the date for the start of protests. Soon the groups morphed into a broad national, then international, movement.

An endogroup may be temporally unlimited to allow ownership and appropriation of property, culture, achievements and victimhood from generations past. An endogroup includes six components:

An identity which enables exclusive membership. May be referred to as an endo-identity or a [specific endogroup] identity, ie state identity, race identity, etc.

An idealized source of collective reality, residing in a person or ideology. May be referred to as an endo or exo-ideal or a [specific endogroup] ideal, ie scientific-industrial ideal, religious ideal, etc.

An existential threat from external forces.

An exceptional myth justifying unequal entitlement. May be referred to as an exceptional myth or a [specific endogroup] myth, ie nation myth, family myth, etc.

A negative image, made up of people identified as opposite the ideal. May be referred to as a negative image or a [specific endogroup] negative image, ie wealth negative image, health negative image, etc.

Reflectors which may exist separately from the negative image in groups of more than two. May be referred to as a reflector or a [specific endogroup] reflector, ie academic reflector, male reflector, etc.

An endogroup is a tightly bonded social structure formed around a shared identity and ideal, called an endo-ideal, which defines its purpose and values. These groups can limit individual freedom and enforce strict conformity. Creating an us versus them mentality. 🧵 #BindingChaos #HeatherMarsh #CMTU
Endogroup: 

A social structure for creating power through the transfer of energy. A group of affiliated people who use inclusion and shunning to define their society and are bound by an endosocial membrane. An endogroup may be temporally unlimited to allow ownership and appropriation of property, culture, achievements and victimhood from generations past.

"Representative democracy is the most dishonest oligarchy of all as it insists on the falsehood that the voice of its oligarchs is the voice of the people." — Heather Marsh, Binding Chaos #BindingChaos #resist #3E #BookSky
“Representative democracy is the most dishonest oligarchy of all as it insists on the falsehood that the voice of its oligarchs is the voice of the people and the subsequent falsehood that their rule is rule by the people. Democracies have not eradicated oligarchy; they have driven it to secrecy, a state of affairs ironically most abhorrent in a democracy. Instead of confronting the problems inherent in an oligarchy, democracy denies it exists while practicing it openly." - Heather Marsh, Binding Chaos

Knowledge bridges are an idea from #BindingChaos– those with the time, energy and interest to learn and audit specialized knowledge act as bridges to explain it to the wider public and also to promote ideas from the wider public to the specialized knowledge community.
Definition of knowledge bridges from binding chaos: people who help disseminate information from an expert to a novice level of understanding and collectively audit what the epidemic community is doing . Besides being essential for education and auditing, this is important to avoid demagogues who have the ability and time to develop mass appeal but are not the source of expertise. Epistemic communities and knowledge bridges allow elite expertise a direct path of communication to the entire user group and provide a path for anyone in the user group to promote ideas and achieve elite expertise if they wish.
