Techbro capitalism has turned into an approximation of Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now. Diseased of mind, utterly immoral, barely coherent and entirely consumed by malice.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

Andreessen Horowitz hiring Daniel Perry exemplifies what debates over preferential treatment are really all about. White men are actually rewarded professionally and personally by other white men for their willingness to commit acts of violence against people who threaten white male dominance.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

OBSERVED EFFECTS OF UBI

No significant reduction in labor supply (38 studies meta-analysis)

Increased self-employment (301%) and part-time employment (17%)

Slight decrease in alcohol and tobacco use (31 studies meta-analysis)

New mothers extend their maternity leaves

Birth weights improve due to better maternal nutrition

Graduation rates and educational outcomes improve

Hospitalization rates decline (8.5%)

Crime goes down (15%–42%) especially illegal hunting (95%)

Domestic violence decreases (30%–51%)

Trust increases (13% in politicians | 6% in other people)

Home ownership rates increase (17%–26%)

Food security increases as does consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables

Improved cognitive functioning (43%) and personality traits (31%)

Savings go up, debts go down

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology

a cartoon with two panels

panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground

Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there"

The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons

What we need is another UBI experiment, but it never ends and it's funded by a wealth tax

there have been thousands of "UBI test runs" and every single one shows massive benefits, but we just need one more to be sure before we know

What we are seeing play out in the UK, in ever more extreme forms, is class war. The war being waged by the rich against the poor.

The fact that people take car-related deaths as an inescapable fact of life, even as an inevitable baseline ("you still drive" as a justification for other risky behavior) is a great success of decades of lobbying and normalization of what is a tragic and preventable state of affairs.

I suppose it’s a sign of the times that when I read that Oliver Dowden has warned Brits to stock up on candles and torches, I don’t automatically think power cuts are looming; I automatically think he’s mates with someone who imports candles from Myanmar and he’s got shares in Duracell.

It was always obvious that the Conservative government’s concern wasn’t really about academic freedom or free speech on campus, but about protecting certain kinds of speech from certain academics, while creating the conditions for further government intervention in higher education.

Has anyone looked into the mental health of politicians, & how best to tackle problems? The role of MPs seems to attract those with poor mental health &/or provides the conditions for worsening it, while there isn't much in the way of support for those suffering. Which isn't good for them or us.

I don’t know the answer to many of the world’s great problems. But have they tried diverting all power to the forward array? That worked for us often.

The saddest conversations I’ve had this week are with Palestinian and Israelis who see each others pain, and feel helpless to stop the cycle of violence they are in. They sound so defeated.

Kids lining up to be vaccinated at the school that Gaudi opened for the children of the workers building Sagrada Família. Barcelona had been decimated by cholera, flu, and other epidemics by that point, and somehow vaccination wasn’t turned into a political football. It just saved lives.
