Me? Oh I’m just living with the overwhelming guilt of bringing children into a flame filled hell world. And how about you? How’s your day going?

If you’re wondering what to call it, the term is polycrisis.

You'd think that the threat of food insecurity (famine) and other existential risks being deemed high by experts would be more newsworthy?

To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is “Dick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam”. You never forget the scent.

the problem with machine that spits out answers is that when you do research to find a fact, you're also learning about the entire context around it as well as the conversations scholars have about it. all that "wasted" time is developing an actual understanding of how the fact fits into the world.

As soon as I heard Peter Thiel was doing lectures about the Antichrist, I figured it was time to talk with @gilduran.com again — and he did not disappoint.
This is a great conversation not just about the Antichrist talk, but the broader project of Thiel and his fellow tech billionaires.

Peter Thiel is obsessed with the Antichrist — but what does he actually mean when he talks about it?
This week @gilduran.com joins @parismarx.com to discuss how Thiel casts his enemies as the Antichrist to distract from Silicon Valley’s anti-human project.

The grift economy in a nutshell. The analogy I like to make is if you’re an art dealer and you discover your piece is fake, are you going to resell as authentic or admit the fakery and lose your investment.
Because the whole point of the AI industry is not to produce things or facilitate things, but to insist that people believe that it will produce and facilitate things. So long as you can keep up the belief, the money machine keeps churning

Just got back from driving the entire contents of my stand up freezer to the dump. Will the husband inadvertently leave the door open again? Only time will tell.

The reason the emails read like hot garbage is because they don't have to worry about being judged. These are not men who have ever poured over an email out of fear of not being taken seriously or not being treated professionally.

Who says: “I’m going to post on 8Chan because I want to ‘meet people where they are’”?
Who says: “Hey, I created an account on the Daily Stormer message board because I don’t want to ‘cede that space to the other side’”?
No one says this because it’s stupid – so why does anyone say this about X?

Give the kids a break. A small treat for boomers was a pack of cigarettes and a case of beer.
I'm old enough to remember when it was millennials and avocado toast.
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”
