{∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} : Rage Against the Meat Grinder

These are the beta herds, the human animals that grovel and scramble and otherwise debase themselves for fleeting advantages in our dominance hierarchies, blind to the philosophical significance of their actions and to the universe’s aesthetic status—which is to speak of the horror within all things that leaves intelligent creatures dumbfounded until they devise noble means of coping.

I could not help noticing parallels in the terms used by this author with some of my own twisted terminology picked up from "Gort Busters" and my own imagination:


? the beta hordes == the gorts ?

? alphas == omnigorts ?
