iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Connected to this, I think we need to reevaluate how we frame the emergence of capitalism was relative to what came before. Crushing the landed gentry and local lords has been one of the crowning achievements of human civilization

I continue to believe that in times like these, we all share a collective duty NOT to splatter our demotivating feelings of doom and despair all over everybody else in public. I don’t care if it makes YOU feel better. This isn’t about YOU. Deal with those feelings outside of public venues.

The scammers discourse is just indulgences rehashed. Scammers are selling redemption in a fallen world. The reason that people defend the scammers is because they think that everyone, including you, is damned without buying moral salvation.

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

I think the problem with this line of thinking is that people who cheat their way through everything are rarely productive members of society blocked by a credential. Engaging in this behavior can lead to some pretty ruinous consequences when you have no competencies you can actually sell.

This is absolutely on point. This is why for every one of my courses I make a calendar, which has links to every day's presentation, and inside a day's presentation it links to each thing that students will do.

I think this is because business owners are still mostly going off of affect, not material conditions. That said, the underreaction to conservatives saying they will blow up the economy will not continue after they blow up the economy by choice.

I normally agree with or see the reasoning behind Evans' positions, but this one is not a good one. We are not going to self-defense or insurgency our way out of this one. Crackdown against violent opposition is the field the administration wants to fight on. We can deny them that ground.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Compare this framing with the "hitting his stride" framing. The NYT, WaPo, etc. are making conscious choices to avoid self-evident conclusions. I don't know how we deal with this long-term. Maybe a complete reconstitution of journalism programs along a new line of professional ethics & licensure?

As someone who tries to keep informed generally, I regularly find myself surprised at the specifics of stupidity and cruelty in the regular operation of our immigration system. "Moderation" on the issue was a failure; people now imagine a system far less stupid and cruel than what we have

Politics is just the way we make society together. Whenever someone says "I am apolitical" I hear "I am not vested in the shared project of making society" and I have to wonder why.

Further, the 2029 Congress should pass a bill to declare qualified immunity does not apply to the previous administration. And we should set up an agency to help everyone hurt both inside and outside the US to class action everyone involved, to the lowest functionary, into absolute penury

After this is over we need de-Ba'athification for anyone employed by ICE, CBP, and any other agency that acts as thugs for this regime. Everyone employed by these agencies from 2025-2029 should be fired and permanently barred from federal employment

I think the best mental model for the absurdity of the regime making collaboration pay no wages at all is that like @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com says, it's about domination. But the thrill of domination fades as soon as the target submits, so ever greater submissions are demanded.

I think that public education abandoning its responsibility to inculcate civic virtue under the guise of neutrality and freedom of expression has been an enormous mistake. It is good to tell children that the preamble to the Constitution is both good and the correct values to strive to uphold.

A thing that Democratic representatives need to take from Republicans is to loudly condemn certain media organizations that are harmful to their political project. It was done with Fox before, so we know it can be done.

I think the common wisdom that parents are less involved with their kids because of overwork is a form of cope because the real reason is far more damning: parents are choosing devices over interacting with their kids.

When you restate this argument as, "knowledge is socially constructed" it becomes obvious and unobjectionable. The problem people really have with Stancil' vibecession is that they really don't like being told that their knowledge is socially constructed.

Agree completely. My daughter was an absolute hellion before 6 months. It was so bad that we spent time researching whether extremely colicky babies grow up to have deeply negative temperament and mood tendencies. She's happy and wonderful now, but there's not many good newborn memories for us.
