I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

i know this is enormously cheesy but i think so many of the bad things happening in our society right now are because people are trying to resolve cognitive dissonance and manage their guilts in any way but changing their behavior and let me just say- changing your behavior feels the best!

I'm under no illusions about how things are or what the trajectory is. But I'm also excited for the future because that is where I will hang out with the people I care about and do the things I like doing, or haven't done before. Weird but telling that this holds less appeal for much richer people.

has there ever been another industry where the actual leaders and major proponents (!!) say both "this will destroy society and maybe kill you" and also "this should be in every school and workplace; use it for everything or you're missing out" or is this just an ai thing?

Respectfully, it does not matter why. Americans have spent the better part of a decade navel-gazing on this shit, and the best answer seems to be that they were bored. You do not have time to dig deeper than that. Mock them for it. Lay bare what they’ve bought into. Make your shame about them clear.

I will forever admire Wendell Berry's insistence on living his values through to their natural conclusions and relentlessly ripping through layers of politeness and habit to hold up for judgment those who do not.

Questionnaire
by Wendell Berry

How much poison are you willing
to eat for the success of the free
market and global trade? Please
name your preferred poisons.

For the sake of goodness, how much
evil are you willing to do?
Fill in the following blanks
with the names of your favorite
evils and acts of hatred.

What sacrifices are you prepared
to make for culture and civilization?
Please list the monuments, shrines,
and works of art you would
most willingly destroy

In the name of patriotism and
the flag, how much of our beloved
land are you willing to desecrate?
List in the following spaces
the mountains, rivers, towns, farms
you could most readily do without.

State briefly the ideas, ideals, or hopes,
the energy sources, the kinds of security;
for which you would kill a child.
Name, please, the children whom
you would be willing to kill.

Which is not to say we're powerless. Indeed, the opposite: the entire reason we perceive this impulse as 'fascism' rather than just 'normal politics' is that we have succeeded in building a world that is *better* than fascism. That is not natural, it is a creation of our effort!

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

Dolly Parton could have been a billionaire. She could have simply used her money to make more money. Instead, she wrote a fuckin' check whenever it was helpful for her to write a check. Any of these assholes have the capability to be her, but none of them have the heart.
