RhetoricX 🇨🇦 @rhetoricx.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The idea that there is no absolute point, that speed and motion are always relative still twists my mind into knots. I understand it logically, but it goes against every intuitive concept I have. 010
RhetoricX 🇨🇦 @rhetoricx.bsky.social · 11/09/2026AI Boosterism and AI Doomerism are not two opposing narratives. They are the same narrative; two sides of the same coin, intentionally obscuring the fact that the current AI wave is NOT inevitable. 010

In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger.

Some people here are upset he was left out of Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring, some are sad but recognize that any movie adaptation would need to cut material by its very nature, and others just pause the movie, act out his section with puppets, and then resume the movie.
