iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I think it's a rather abstract concern and by the time they recognize the problem without guidance it may be too late. If people are like, "huh not a big fan of this secret police thing" then the situation has already progressed to a really dangerous place.

This is the richest person in earth. This is what the system has rewarded. Amazing stuff.

People don't care about democracy. But also they don't care about fascism. Not in the sense we do. They weren't rejecting democracy and embracing fascism. But also they weren't going to defend democracy either. Gas. Price. Go. Up.

How could people have treated 2024 as just another election? People are going to do that. Make sure your political system isn't built to let them inadvertently hand over the keys to a mad man because gas is expensive. And don't assume they were making a big commitment to fascism either.

"power to the people!" Yes instrumentally good when structured based on decades of research on when and how this works.

I believe in democracy as a family of structural configurations that can generate good outcomes. I don't believe in democracy as some sort of manifestation of the goodness and wisdom of ordinary people. The deeper you believe in the later the more crazy making this decade plus has been.

I am also disturbed by this on some level. But I've been comfortable with the idea that bad electoral and political systems generate bad outcomes for a while now.

These people are throne sniffing addicts. They will suffer any humiliation to get their fix. It's disgusting watching them degrade themselves on live TV.

This eventual outcome has long been obvious to any good-faith observer of the right's supposed concerns about free speech. Me in 2017: www.insidehighered.com/advice/2017/...

Weaponizing Free Speech
By targeting the comments of presumably left-wing professors, the right is using free speech as part of their long-term strategy of delegitimizing higher education itself, writes Victor Ray.

Cuban Americans in power don’t yet realize that Cubans are the primary victims of third-country removal. Hell, a certain Cuban American former senator is rubber-stamping it! They might think their proximity to whiteness will protect them from this white supremacist government. It will not.

Republicans have spent this term, among other things, undermining the home and community based services so many neurodivergent folks on Medicaid rely on. I guess they don't count though.

These are not the people Trump endlessly craves the approval of. These are the people he holds in utter contempt

Neurodivergence is not a superpower or an elite club. And these people do not speak for anyone but themselves.

This is obviously not enforceable by a state so very silly. But if someone proposed a jury condemning someone to death should be required to witness the punishment they mandated that wouldn't immediately sound crazy to me.

I agree with this overall. On the other hand we also regularly say that Republicans are people for whom the suffering of others isn't real until/unless they see it for themselves. So I understand where the sentiment comes from (if focused only on proponents).

I think we need to enroll the tech Bros in financial literacy courses. It's very clear they don't have the skills to manage their money responsibly like working class folks do.
