Okay, I've deleted my earlier post. Apparently, this is *not* a pipe. But the fact that I thought it was says a lot about society.

One of the only silver linings around fascism is the inevitable ineptitude. It cannot last. Blinded by their smug ego-centric delusions and unquenchable thirst for sycophantic adulation, they ultimately become the architects of their own destruction.

And: Make sure everyone you know who can be vaccinated is vaccinated. Anyone who isn’t certain should get an update. Measles as an infant can be fatal, either immediately or within a few years; but measles as a naive adult has a much higher risk of death. It’s one of the Great Plagues on purpose.

You can't have a functioning capitalist society unless people are compelled to work. Outright slavery was outlawed, so capitalism turned to wage slavery. A system that allows people to live long without working robs capitalists of their cudgel to force people to work, even in inhumane conditions.

Daron Acemoglu wants liberal democracy to invite workers inside its home. But in an economy organized around private capital, it’s hard to see how workers can ever be more than tenants — or, as ever, hired hands.

The Call for Working-Class Liberalism Is Coming From Inside the House
Economist Daron Acemoglu wants liberal democracy to connect with working people’s material interests and political power. His case for institutional renewal should be taken seriously, but it needs a fuller account of class, war, and worker organization.

It's ironic for a female pastor to criticize a tribe for practicing its rituals on Biblical grounds. Has she not read in her Bible that she ought to remain silent and let the men teach? If she can reinterpret that, then she has all the tools needed to make space for other peaceful religions.

Maybe Ed, maybe... but you decided to keep touring without him, so you accepted the decision; you are complicit. Your band and openers certainly felt like they had a choice to make, and they walked away. What a coward.

AI companies want regulation because their lobbyists will get to write it, and they'll use it to kill off smaller, cheaper models. Regulations usually favour large, established companies that can afford the paperwork and hurt smaller companies that are trying to innovate.

They wear the vestments of intellectualism, but they are not intellectuals. Like young children playing make-believe games, the only rules are "I win, you lose." History? It's irrelevant, and also this historian shows how Europe's history of innovation and conquest proves whites are superior.
