They will simply destroy the world or make it very fucking hard to exist before giving up their power (which aligns almost too perfectly with Boomers in general). Le sigh. #paris #riots #france #EmmanuelMacron

This is the plight of the contemporary Western man: torture your body to prove to other techie Transhumanists the body does not matter, only the mind. Voluntarily undergoing pain proves nothing other than showing the world how much existential pain they are truly in.

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.

The irony of Trump so far totally failing at his national and populist "agenda" because he knowingly or not followed capitalism's "father of monetarism"—Milton Friedman—key tenets written some 76 years ago in the NYT:

I'm agnostic, but it's clear the tech broligarchs want us to fill the God-shaped hole with the holy trinity of data centers, energy, and surveillance to mystically create AGI—whatever that means. When they get around to it, I'm sure they will tell us. Clearly, it’s not working. #AI #tech
