I want Sarah McBride and Pete Buttigieg to do a video where they cook something. I feel like that would be the single greatest event in getting people to fedpost in history.
I do mean cooking, I'm sure one of the two of them knows at least one recipe. Just have them do an inoffensive activity.

Many modern technologists and computer scientists are very cogent systems thinker because any sufficiently advanced technology *is people*, all technical systems are socio-technical. The capital T Tech dipshits talking about “alpha” are mainly cosplaying finance people, regardless of their training
This is absolutely the case. Tech Guys of previous generations, to the extent that that category can be read back into the 19th and 20th centuries, were shockingly well-read by modern standards
it’s also notable how the techbros of today really don’t read *books* anymore - this was really not the case for the Tech Guys of earlier generations, far as I’ve been able to tell

you know, medical people of Filipino origin had disproportionate losses due to COVID in Britain and the US.
the NHS, to keep costs down, used to hire entire medical teams out of the Philippines.
(odd that the biggest backer of the NHS model in the US also had terrible thoughts about immigration.)

The elephant in the room when it comes to UK immigration discourse these days is the NHS. Immigrants are the lifeblood of the system, and across the spectrum the political class is quite simply in denial about the impact some of the policies being proposed would have on hospitals.

I was in Celebration, Florida earlier this year, the Disney planned community. it's very pleasant. the problem is, the walkable downtown isn't a downtown. it's now mainly a collection of real estate offices. it never cohered as a central place.

Frankly, I reject the premise that an analysis of complicity or unintended consequences is useful in this case, in that I have yet to see any indication that there is any practical difference between any of these ideological factions beyond "uses slurs in private" and "uses slurs in public".
