Most Americans identify as "middle class," and only 1-in-6 identify as "working class." The self-identified "working", "lower-middle" and "poor" were much more likely to vote for Harris than for Trump. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

Even the rich suffer from living in unequal societies with broken safety nets. And the fascists the rich support to protect them from the poors eventually also screw the rich.

This is puzzling. There is no basis for either divine Creationism or intelligent design in canonical Buddhism. In fact Buddhism specifically rejected Vedic claims of divine creation of the universe. (see the Aggañña Sutta)

In a Dem +15 election a lot of the Repuglican gerrymanders become "dummymanders," handing more districts to the Dems not fewer. They are making the blue wave bigger.

This week on Prosthetic Gods, Nir and J discuss the role of disgust in morality. Neuroscience suggests that feelings of disgust underlie many moral judgments, especially in the treatment of sexuality. Can we suppress disgust? Should we? prostheticgods.podbean.com/e/disgust/

The non-English-speaking world is much more enthusiastic about AI. Your strategy might be marginally successful here. But 80% of the world will be using AI.
