There's a lot of performative bullshit that's just meant to make people feel better that's going to have to go away for things to get better. "X DESTROYS Republican!" The memes. The pep rally speeches that mean nothing. Class costumery and signifiers. "Former MAGA turns on Trump!" grifts.

Just having a quiet laugh to myself that the guy who wrote the "I'm a professor and writing doesn't matter" bullshit op-ed at the Times then had to immediately respond to his own article with more writing addressing the things he didn't get to include in the article. It's the little joys, really.

Joe Cruz, Opinion Guest Essayist: One thread I didn’t have room to pursue in the essay is that writing is itself a technology for cognitive offloading. It lets us put memory and attention and concentration into the world rather than carrying everything in our heads. That is enormously useful, but it might also mean that we exercise some capacities less.

The humanities and social sciences are so lopsided in privileging writing — and I suspect ease of assessment is a major driver — that we have obscured the costs to these other capacities for thought and have become lazy about imagining alternative ways of cultivating them. AI dramatically highlights the same question.

What kinds of thinking should we be willing to offload, and what kinds do we want students to keep practicing for themselves?

We're a decade into this and still getting fed "raises new questions" about very obvious and blatant corruption, self-dealing, and authoritarian capture. This isn't journalism. It's an institutional denial superstructure.

Have to imagine it's a coincidence that all these things are happening that further the destruction of American interests and they all involve a coalition dedicated to surpassing and replacing the American order and the president is overtly corrupt and obliviously a supplicant to their leaders.

We can talk identity politics, but I feel this just divides us. Until the working class takes the power away from the oligarchs and corporate empire, everything will remain the same and in decay.

AI could’ve been used to empower skilled workers. Robots could do dangerous & mundane tasks, freeing up workers to pursue their passions & interests, but under capitalism AI is just used to enrich billionaires, with workers still doing dangerous jobs while robots get to make art.

i used to think the voice in my head was me. the one narrating, judging, keeping score. it took me thirty years to ask the obvious question. if i can hear it, who's the one listening? i still don't have an answer. but the question loosened something. #consciousness
