If they *do* wipe out humanity it doesn’t matter what you did with your money. If they *don’t* wipe us out and become profitable you can be rich.

How do you explain recursion? This one is pretty fun. I had Claude Opus 5.5 make: "A video explaining recursion, where every explanation about recursion has a radically different video style, make this self-referential & clever & fast moving." All code, no images. Nine genre shifts, one prompt...

The line about "not a third bloc only to become a third party rival just with better manners", following up with "resilience so no-one, *no-one* can control our open markets, impair our sovereignty, threaten out territorial integrity or undermine our freedoms, our democracy, our rule of law" - OUCH.

Everyone is unique, but not everyone has an outgoing style that is distinctive and appealing to the segment they want to be appealing to. So, “be yourself” definitely works for some people, but some people need other ways to execute marketing and positioning.

Maybe. IDK, do historians usually pick their research subjects based on perceived demand for a resulting monograph? Or do they pick based on their own curiosity? Maybe it’s a lack of interest on part of historians.

There’s a big leap from lack of knowledge (which we must admit — we basically have anecdotes and traditions) to lack of interest. We’re plenty interested, I’d say, but there is very little to read.

En återkommande tankefigur på Ms valaffischer är att ”ansträngning ska löna sig”. Tycker de verkligen det? Tycker de att människor ska få lön i förhållande till hur stor ansträngning de lägger ned i sitt arbete? Är inte det ett jätteradikalt omfördelningsprojekt?

To international historians in the 2050s, the major geopolitical story of our time will be entirely obvious: the oligarchic and institutional self-destruction of the United States and its displacement by China as the global number one.
US per capita income may be high, but its biological living standards are shockingly low. The Chinese live longer, are better fed, and kill themselves at dramatically lower rates. Their kids are now taller than ours; they score higher across the board, including on IQ tests.

China’s defense-industrial base now totally dwarfs that of the US. Chinese state capacity is an order of magnitude greater. China’s overtaken the US in top notch scientific publications. China now occupies the dominant position in global manufacturing. It’s share of global mfg value-added is 30 percent to America’s 18 percent. They can outproduce not just the US in weapons, but the entire geopolitical West. With ease.

Vi ska absolut inte göra några uppoffringar för att rädda liv och undgå en klimat- och ekologisk kollaps. Men vi ska vara beredda att offra våra liv för en stat som föraktar fattiga, invandrare & arbetslösa, som ställer utsatta grupper mot varann samtidigt som den ekonomiska eliten blir allt rikare?

Philosophers often bring up the "principle of charity": a willingness to assume good faith in an interlocutor and treat them accordingly. It's good to do in many circumstances. But it is worth formulating a principle of not being a fucking mark. If not during the rise of fascism, then when? 12/

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.
