Yes, and none. I don't have that kind of expendable income.

I hope that senators who are most likely to oppose the current administration win. That doesn't mean that if the candidate that fits that criteria says transphonic stuff they should get zero pushback or deserve every vote despite it.

It's really not. People share and talk about the out of touch stuff that out of touch people say all the time. Will just happens to be more consistent than most.

100

I don't follow him anymore. Usually a skeet will show up in my feed from someone else talking about the newest stupid thing he's said though and it's fun to check in for laugh.

100

Yeah, I can only imagine how much harder Will would have to bend over backwards to defend bad politicians in that world.

I wonder how politicians would survive if they didn't have brave people like Will here to fight for their right to throw minorities under the bus.

111

I still can't figure why Will keeps doing it.

I would have too, but that was before digital assistants were ruining people's lives. Now it's different and, I would argue, completely understandable.

Sounds like something a clanker would say. 🤔

I am becoming incredibly exhausted of this pattern: many people: "AI sucks!" Very Smart Person: ah but have you considered (distinct application of ML or statistical modeling that has no real relationship to what the tech industry is marketing as, and people broadly perceive as, "AI")

Early Cartoon Network was hugely inspired by the UPA animator Bobe Cannon. Artists like Genndy Tartakovsky loved his style of movement, studied it and put it in their work. We're looking into Cannon's methods and how they shaped these shows: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-animat...

It has been a long time since I used Instagram, but I remember that if I sent a friend a post and we both looked at the comments of the same post we would both see a very different list of comments. I believe the comments are curated similar to how most social sites curate your main feed.

I now know that at least one of my exes lives in Texas. I think I'll continue to hang my hat near Tennessee.

The same people who fall for obvious phone scams all the time? Yeah, I am saying that. I'm not going to coddle the man who can't understand why humans aren't perfectly rational all of the time. Sorry.

That's great and all, but we're talking about elderly people with deteriorating brains vs. billionaires with well paid professionals to rely on. You would have to be as out of touch with reality as Will is to expect them to be capable of using of information with equal ability.

Unlike billionares, grandma's don't have a financial guy who they can pay to figure out complicated financial structures like this for them.

Yes, because you can't sell the home because you still need a home and every other home is just as expensive.

“Data is the last frontier of colonization. They took our land and tried to sell it back to us. Now, they're taking our data and selling it back to us as a service.” Wealthy states still colonize Global Majority countries - only now instead of grabbing land, they grab minerals, labor, and data.

He will give the most lizard brained opinion on any matter, state that "it's just a fact!", and then refuse to see any criticism as legitimate prefering to paint anyone who disagrees with him as part of an internet hive mind.

I've found so many good accounts now that I'm hitting the follow button on anyone else trying to talk sense to the Stancil.

You can whine all you want about how Bluesky steers people away from academic thought, but the only person I see actually painting academic thought as a realm exclusively for those chronicly out of touch with humanity is you. You're like a reverse Carl Sagan!

050

I hope I never get so delusional that when a bunch of people call me out I don't immediately look inward to understand where I went wrong, but instead blame the internet for making the entire world think I'm wrong.

050

No, people just don't agree that the "correct economic decision" and the "objectively correct decision" are the same thing. It's not difficult to understand if you try.

060

I get why everyone thinks Will Stancil is an idiot masquerading as a smart person now. It's like listening to a younger version of myself who thought people's rejection of my narrowly defined hypotheticals was their fault for not seeing it in the context I so cleverly thought of it in.

090

It's almost like the scenario built around the simple math problem makes it more than just a simple math problem. 🤔

000

So do you want to have a world where more people "objectively" solve these problems with math leading to a worse outcome for everyone, or maybe would you rather come to terms with the fact that the world is better when humans retain some of their humanity?

Eric Kowalec @ekowalec.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I thought it was corruption that made people ignore how fossil fuels, minerals mined by child labor, and deals with autocrats ruin people's lives. It's clear that even intelligent people can ignore these problems when that thing that hurts others is "useful" to them. lore.kernel.org/linux-media/...

If no one knows if either the U.S. or Russia's nukes even work, can we change it from M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) to M.U.D. (Mutually Unsure Destruction)?
