"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

Part of their desperation to make everything a culture war is that it comes from a genuine desire to feel oppressed. They can’t stand that some people have real problems because then they would have to admit that their grievances are petty and mean-spirited in comparison.

Most corals, on most reefs, can't survive long-term in the overheated seas which we have created. A quarter of all marine life depends on coral reefs during their life cycle. About half a billion people depend directly on reefs for food and livelihoods. We chose fossil fuels over coral reefs.

Robert Caro says that power doesn't corrupt, it *reveals*. AI's still-hypothetical power already reveals which jobs decision makers don't respect or value, don't believe are worth human effort or time, and don't believe require actual human judgement. Today's example: teachers.
