"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable" indeed.

Seriously though I feel like the most core aspect of nihilism isn't thinking nothing matters, but not being able to distinguish between things that matter and things that don't matter.

Anyone who thought that event was important for real was a nihilist beyond Nietzsche's wildest dreams.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

After long and ardent thought, I have come up with what I believe to be the definitive Philosophy of AI:

It sucks.

Capitalism didn't give us the internet.

Large-scale cooperation, open protocols, and free software gave us the internet. Capitalism gave us mobile sites that don't work because fifteen ads cover the screen.

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

por eso, creo que deberíamos ir normalizando llamarlos por el fenómeno al que más se parecen: fascismo.

no sé qué esperamos. ya están haciendo el saludito.

(este el tipo de cosas que me da flojera publicar en the bad place)
