the argument below is not to the effect that we ought to decentralize; it's that we inevitably will, as every big immobile thing will explode. but since i also think we ought to decentralize, i'd worry about the argument. marx is a terrible case: thousands of pages devoted to the notion that my wishes are destiny. it doesn't matter whether you agree with me or not: my whim/pathology/theory is your fate!  meanwhile for whatever useless reason i'm still trying to persuade you about what ought to happen, though normative theories are non-scientific. well christianity too etc: it's a particular self-serving pathology. oops!
