I think you might be right… but I’m going to push back against your beautiful effort post, as follows:
--I am not striking terms without suitable replacement. I offered anarchy and dictatorship as replacements. Personally I think Amazon should have said “anarchizing access for all builders.” Or just “Equalizing access for all builders” or “Levelling the playing field” if they wanted to be more technically correct, which they didn’t. I’m not actually upset at them, I know how the game works. Democracy sounds better than anarchy so they say democracy. --”Turning to the advantage of democracy” =/= rendering-more-analogous-to-democracy. I can criticize Amazon without criticizing de Tocqueville. --Plato’s democratic soul was actually an excellent analogy and choice of words by my book. Those with democratic souls, according to Plato, basically take a vote of what their subagents want to do at any given time and then do that. Anarchic soul would be someone in whom getting-outvoted doesn’t happen and each subagent is free to pursue what they want independently—so maybe someone having a seizure?
