Not only is Musk endorsing 4Chan pseudoscience, but by these rules he’s saying he’s not a ‘high T alpha male [or] aneurotypical’ person’ as he didn’t ask ‘is this correct?’ but just endorsed it.

The fundamental flaw of centrists is that they assume all sides enter into the debate equally and with the same intention. Fascists do not want debate, they want power.

Full marks to Bobby J for not bothering to mention that this was entirely due to being given £45 million from the Labour government and told to do it. Even a Reform council couldn't fuck that up.

Matthew Syed reckons we need "more bouts of unemployment" to make "the economy more vital and dynamic". You first, mate. I hope your unemployment will make you "happier and healthier". Or did you only mean other people?

Matthew Syed

There is nothing neoliberal about our culture of debt and bailouts

Andy Burnham's analysis of the country is completely wrong. We should be waking capitalism from its coma

We need more boom and bust. More economic turbulence. More bankruptcy. More bouts of unemployment. I mean this literally. Everyone will be richer, happier and healthier, and the economy more vital and dynamic.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

Its unlikely Simon Clarke has bad memories of the 1970s as he was born in 1984. This helps to explain why he forgets a recession made worse by Thatcher driving interest rates up with her uneccessary monetarist policy. The only thing that saved the tories was the Falklands war & North Sea oil.

History is written by the victors. Thatcher broke the power of trade unions by mass unemployment, industrial restructuring, frittered away N Sea Oil, laid the foundations for the current housing crisis, decimated local bus services, hollowed out local government and introduced the poll tax.

Simon Clarke

Andy Burnham seems to remember a different 1970s to the rest of us. Britain in 1979 was utterly broken - ravaged by unaccountable trade union power, economically stagnant, the sick man of Europe.
The 1980s saw a remarkable national recovery based on free enterprise, the rule of law and championing Western values. And it is this that our Prime Minister rails against...

Thatcher could make people feel wealthy by selling off council houses & privatising utilities.
