positive disruption

A currently trending phrase thrown around in the business community, particularly the technology sector. Intended to refer to the ability to manage change in a positive way, it instead comes off douchey and pretentious.

Accelerative Disruptionism

A school of thought aiming to accelerate the technologization of the human environment actively and aggressively replaces any aspect, sometimes in a very personal way and other times by influencing other people's lives. According to the theory, this is because human civilization is lagging and not as mature as it should be by now.

There are multiple possible motivations for such a movement:

1. Make the future look like the future: Cool, clean and efficiant.
2. Destroying old institutions or companies by introducing changes to spending habit.
3. Enhancing life conditions and the environment using technology.

For all practical purposes, it plans to replace aspects of life that are obsolete, mostly material.

Person 1: The government will raze 1 square kilometer of the old neighborhood to build a new super modern one with a light rail station.
Person 2: Sheesh...

You omitted part of the story to screw me and now Suchir Balaji is dead. The immigrant you are talking that you theoretically want in the country... Killed himself...

Hym "It's also the fact that you're a Jew. I mean, it seems to be the case that Jews are just actively bad people. Right? Like, you're a Jew. You're dogshit. Therefore, Jews are dogshit. It must be the case. So, no. Don't try to blame editorial discretion for your Judaism. You wanted to screw me and now Suchir Balaji is dead because you buried a story to screw me. You're a murderer. You killed him by doing that. You are the direct cause of the guys death. You will be the cause of MY dead. If I take a kid with me you will be the cause of THEIR death. Give up what little control of my life you have. You are not better than me. You are worse."
