"There are nearly 26,000 students at Cornell but just 3 full-time investigators...~ 2,860 people are sexually assaulted each year. Even if only 10% of those victims reported, a single investigator would have a caseload of 95/year. For the same body of students, there is 1 full-time victim advocate."

They all kind of look the same. They separate ecologically and altitudinally in some places. They hybridize sometimes. Beside genetics, there’s one good way to tell them apart… (Pic from www.cokesmithwildlife.com/genus-neotam...)

That time I put almost all the chipmunk species in the western USA on one map. Did you know there’s 1 species of chipmunk in Asia, 1 in eastern USA & >20 in western USA? (I’m not the crazy one here. The chipmunks are the crazy ones.)

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

…she’d come to believe that the “purpose” of suffering is that we can take what we’ve been through and use it to help others. That that’s the whole point. Helping others. Being for other people what we wish we’d had ourselves. Changing the world in small ways, through kindness, one person at a time.

Ive been saying for a while now, that the fear and disgust of disability and aging and death is driving the technofascists' apocalyptical thinking, in addition to their extreme eugenicist thinking. They truly believe they and they alone deserve to survive and thrive in this world.

Thiel’s philosophical assumptions might sound bizarre to outsiders, but they appear to be widely shared among the tech elite. “A.I. and its capabilities represent something analogous to the Second Coming,” Jeremy Nixon, a founder of an A.I. hub called A.G.I. House, said in May. The technology, some tech titans believe, will allow humans — at least some humans — to escape the bounds of earth and even perhaps the inevitability of death. It represents liberation from hopelessness and decay.
