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.

So, if you imagine that the institutions have become incredibly fragile because they're in fact built for growth, and that plan for their growth obligates them to tell untruths, and to hide certain characteristics, because they are not, in fact, able to grow at the rates in which they are supposed to—you need some complex for making sure that that information doesn't reach the bottom entrance to a pyramid structure. | So, if you imagine that the institutions have become incredibly fragile because they're in fact built for growth, and that plan for their growth obligates them to tell untruths, and to hide certain characteristics, because they are not, in fact, able to grow at the rates in which they are supposed to—you need some complex for making sure that that information doesn't reach the bottom entrance to a pyramid structure. | ||
