Paul Krugman, in his Substack musings this morning—blissfully unaware that China was about to drop a 34% tariff bomb on U.S. imports—sounded like a man trying to explain Keynesian economics to a room full of cats.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Unclear what purpose the apology for Wayne serves, given the origins of his privilege. That said, he has undeniably operated within the far-right accelerator communities and the broader post-humanist debate. Notably, discussions on AI & SAI have been Musk’s in Trump's Brain.

For anyone who wants to make a bet on the end of the world with a friend, relative or work colleague:
My estimate on passing 2.0°C above the pre-industrial baseline is no earlier than 2035 and no later than 2040. So, take the "Under" on 2040 and the "Over" on 2035.
