On of the entertaining aspects of the Shannon's theory is that a closed system
cannot "explain" itself. This is why the emergence of novel entities (such as
WL-JA subsystem) is interesting - it gives a brief hope that there is an
outside observer that will tell us what the f*ck is going on (not in the sense
of actual events that WL exposes, but about the dynamics of the society.)
Is WL-JA the Outsider, and how long will it be the Outsider? I think yes, and
I'd say 2-6 months.
Enjoy while it lasts.
