The '''Distributed Idea Suppression Complex''' (DISC) describes the emergent phenomenon of widespread, semi-independent idea suppression. The idea was first introduced in [[ep15|Episode 15]] of [[The Portal Podcast]] and described in detail in [[ep18#Distributed Idea Suppression Complex (DISC)|Episode 18]]. Eric has said he believes this might be the most important concept that we will be dealing with on a going-forward basis in 2020 on The Portal. It's the complex of structures that resulted in fantastic income inequality & unrest breaking out all over the Americas. | The '''Distributed Idea Suppression Complex''' (DISC) describes the emergent phenomenon of widespread, semi-independent idea suppression.

<blockquote> | |||
The DISC does *not* usually try to ensure that you canât find the story. It may even bring up the story tangentially in something like a âTo be sure...â paragraph or in occasional features. It merely ensures that the reality now paved over never becomes operational. | |||
Go Dodgers. | |||
The story of the disappearance of these towns and the treatment of their residents is an active act of daily forgetting. Supposed free market conservatives were looking to confiscate property rights of home owners below market value & willing to wield the power of the state. | |||
This resulted in twin narratives: | |||
A) The instutional âGo Dodger Blue!â narrative about a team and a stadium. | |||
B) The âChavez Ravineâ narrative about the awesome power of the state to destroy any illusion of property rights and abuse of extraordinary powers against the powerless. | |||
This story will continue to be told...only generally not on game days. Yet every once in a while the two narratives, instutional and personal, collide ever so briefly. That is when the DISC slips. | |||
It may not have been paradise, but they did indeed put up a parking lot... | |||
End. | |||

<blockquote> | |||
This is the '''DISC''': | |||
Donât ask your questions. | |||
Donât admit you donât understand. | |||
Donât question experts. | |||
Donât listen to heterodoxy. | |||
Donât associate with iconoclasts. | |||
Donât befriend the other party. | |||
Donât criticize your own fringe. | |||
Donât self-promote. | |||
Donât be gauche. | |||
Die silently. | |||
