@cstross@wandering.shop @KatS@chaosfem.tw @skjeggtroll@mastodon.online True. I think that’s why the change wrought by a paradigm shift is called a revolution. It disrupts and overturns the existing order of things. Maybe a better word would be “tipping point”, an irreversible and unstable inflection that has massive ripple effects until a new equilibrium is reached. There is no going back. We are at a conjunction of multiple social, political, environmental and technological tipping points.
