Look into the reaction from 100 years ago when it was proposed we stop sending children into coal mines or getting their arms ripped off in factories. The rich said it would collapse society itself.

Great thread. I will add one thing: it’s very clear that when ICE is going into a new city, it’s not going into a city who hasn’t learned. Organizers are sharing. They start and people already have every license plate number they’ve used and are tracking their vehicles on day one.

like 70% of the worst evil being perpetrated in the world right now is caused by rich men trying to avoid death. this is their underlying hope for AI, and genetic engineering. if true immortality ever existed we would have a moral responsibility to murder the inventors and bomb their labs.
