The only thing that really seems to get all these disparate groups on the same page is hating on the people who say souls aren’t real.
Which is kinda funny. Everyone knows that AI can’t have souls but a lot of people will swear their dog has one. Can AI have a dog soul? Just not a human soul?

Every young person sentence online reads like this to me now:
"Bro entered low-stim flow state doing a 10 min grocery rotation and got mogged by a friendly neighborhood cat 💀 Is proximity-maxxing essentials while touch-grass-pilled more optimal than suburb-meta carbrained bulk errands?"

Steven Pinker’s dismissal of economic inequality as unimportant is either disingenuous, oblivious, or so fucking stupid that it makes listening to another 15 hours of this book seem like a pretty big gamble.

see: the difference between profanity and obscenity.
Saying "fuck" is an example of the former. Putting five-year-olds in cages is an example of the latter, and needs to be identified as such in whatever language is appropriate to the situation.

Harari calls it “dataism” in Homo Deus but I know there’s a less clunky word for it floating around out there somewhere. Unless dataism just got folded in to the techbros’ weird AI religion.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

I think a lot of people are secretly hoping that somehow Elder Scrolls 6 will have even a half-decent story.
Y’all, Skyrim barely had a half-decent main story lol. But at least it didn’t take them 15 YEARS AND COUNTING.
Time to just admit that BGS has lost the magic. Blame Micro$oft and move on.

Thoughts on Yuval Harari?
I was sort of half listening to Homo Deus at 1.5x speed today while crawling in and out of the attic and kinda got the impression that that’s really the ideal way to consume it: as background noise punctuated with a lot of unrelated and very loud swearing.

Putting insulation in my attic and from the boards I’m moving around to crawl on to the roof PEAK is only 3’, the joists are spaced irregularly, the struts make even crawling where the roof is highest a pain, this is a nightmare, who builds like this, now I know why it was never insulated

I know the Epstein files are also bad but I don’t want to be the only person who remembers that Trump and Elon Musk killed hundreds of thousands of people by dismantling USAID…and millions more could die by 2030. So yeah they’re monsters, but we already knew that. They’re killing kids.

Chat now that Ashes of Creation has turned to dust of cancelation there’s a market niche that needs to be filled.
So I’m going to make an MMO, go ahead and start sending me money.
Don’t worry about the details or whether I have game dev experience, that’s not important. Just send money and believe

War of the Worlds, the new one, at least it was so bad it was funny so it still had some unintentional entertainment value.
Falling Skies somehow makes Earth being conquered by alien invaders just…boring. Sci fi flavored soap opera but with really bad music and without the good soap opera parts.
