Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.
Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.
Sure, Galloway is better than Peterson
But he still believes the natural order of things requires men to be supreme. Men must protect, provide and procreate. It's dressed in progressive language, but it's fundamentally a patriarchal box to trap men in

Should you ask the Commission what it means by "AI", I very much doubt you'd get a cogent or coherent answer. There certainly isn't one in what I have read in this document. "AI", here, is magick, a panacea, an abracadabra, a lucky charm, a proof of "relevance" (to what?). In short, bollocks.

If I ever teach a course on the Holocaust again, this is going in the lecture on Holocaust denial. Although, unlike 20th century instances of denial, I'm not too optimistic about there being anything like the Irving trial for this.
