Rogue tankie anthropologist. (he/him) Abolish private property is where the left starts. Trans lib or death. Communists have solutions but you're not going to like them. But we have solutions. Some follows are for research purposes. You're cool though.

A lot of people are finding out about Big Yud for the first time and I'm willing to take a break from hunting John Calvin through time if someone wants to borrow the Time Machine and go firmly knock on the door of the Yudkowsky household on or around the night of June 11 1979.

This is all legacy shit from the "data economy", which was the magic funny money economy that preceded the "ai" economy. Ten years back it was data that was going to magically create unlimited profits forever.

The Ivies are factories for the production of the capitalist officer corps. They should be razed down to the bedrock, the bedrock salted, and their names stricken from history. It's still weird to me that an Ivy diploma is seen as prestigious and not evidence that the person before you is a threat.

The Enlightenment was racist assholes doing racist asshole shit, and also they very occaisoonally had okay ideas, and we kinda need to get over the Enlightenment, delete its number, and get on with our collective lives. We can do better than the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment kinda sucked.

Calculators are mechanical. Determinitive. If you ask the same question you will always get the same outcome. Offloading your arithmetic calculations to a machine is a 1:1 trade. The machine will always return the same result that your scratch pad math would. There is a risk of losing some of your

When Luke asks "Is the Dark Side stronger?" Yoda grimaces and doesn't answer. It's the wrong question, the wrong perspective. The force is not about strength and weakness. You cannot tell someone that they are falling. They have to see it in themselves. If you're lucky you can try to lead them to a

Scary thing is; Studies are pretty clear that any use of the slop machines damages your cognitive flexibilty and it happens extremely rapdily. So anyone defending the slop as being useful to them is already suffering some level of damage and some level of dependency on the slop to compensate.

The basal purpose of anti-Soviet propaganda is to forbid even the *idea* of trying to improve anything. It doesn't have anything to do with the actual Soviet Union. It's a totalizing morality tale where some people tried to make everything better but they actually made everything in to an evil

I’m seeing a lot of posts from older women about how they won’t talk or think about Cornell because it’s too painful or the problem is too big to solve. I’m urging you all to remember how you felt as a college student when older women said that to you. Don’t turn your back on the next generation.
