It just doesn’t seem sustainable for everything to be impossibly stupid and incredibly evil at the same time. At the very least, we have to pick one or the other.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from being in proximity to some very wealthy tech people, it’s that the more money you have, the less rational you become, because there is nothing you must worry about feeding except your ego, and it only gets hungrier the more it devours.

2026/09 - ce n’est pas le plus récent des essais sur la montée des populistes mais il reste éclairant. Son angle : la façon dont des hommes (car il n’y a pas de femmes) ont compris comment utiliser internet pour cibler au plus prêt les électeurs en flattant leurs égos et en attisant leurs peurs.

Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, a nursing home executive who illegally withheld millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht). The pardon came after his mother attended a $1M-per-person Trump fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago last month. Everything is for sale.
