If we cut off military aid to israel, israel would conjure up Mk84 2000lb bombs from a Stargate dimensional portal and continue to drop them. Because Israel has access to psionic dimensional mages, we must sell them regular bombs made in Garland, Texas instead

huh that's weird
A few weeks ago, a purported student at Alpha School - the teacherless AI-powered private academy led by software developer Joe Liemandt - posted to X, "Today [at Alpha School] they hooked me up to a heart rate monitor, put my live pulse on a big screen, and played a pre-recorded video of my parents giving critical feedback in front of the entire class. The challenge was simple: my resting heart rate was 80 bpm, and I had to stay within 10% of that the whole time. Anything above 88 was a fail."Psychological study
In his second year at Harvard, Kaczynski participated in a study led by Harvard psychologist Henry Murray. Subjects were told they would debate personal philosophy with a fellow student and were asked to write essays detailing their personal beliefs and aspirations.
The essays were given to an anonymous individual who would confront and belittle the subject in what Murray himself called
"vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive" attacks, using the content of the essays as ammunition.(25] Kaczynski spent 200 hours as part of the study.!261[27]

The two main tendencies in national Israeli politics right now are "expulsion and annexation of the Palestinian territories" vs "civil separation under the authority of an Israeli police state", and virtually all mainstream US commentary simply refuses to engage with this.

Been thinking about this passage from Slobodian and Tarnoff since I read it. Haraway told us 40 years ago why we'd be freaking out about x-risk and trans folks at the same time. We're gonna be cyborgs, but the guys who own the grid are trying to set the terms of that human-machine synthesis.
But none of these factors account for the apocalyptic inten sity of Musk's rhetoric. *The woke mind virus is either deteated or nothing else matters." he tweeted in December 2022.' Neither do they say much about the content of the virus, what its code" actually consisted of. Musk himself wasn't always much help on this question, as he liked to cast a wide net. (When the chief film critic of The New York Times failed to put lop Gun: Maverick in his top ten list for 2022, Musk decried the paper for being "woke"" We can come closer to an explanation by starting with a theme that occupied an especially prominent role in his tirades: transphobia. "Pronouns suck," Musk tweeted in July 2020.* It was an opening salvo in an anti-trans campaign that steadily intensified in the coming years. This wasn't unique to Musk: anti-trans politics became a defining feature of the right-wing counteroffensive launched in the aftermath of the George Floyd protests. Moreover, Musk had a personal connection to the issue: his daughter Vivian came out as trans through an Instagram post in 2020, and officially changed her name and government-documented gender on the day of her eighteenth birthday in
2022. Musk later told Jordan Peterson that he considered his child to be dead— "killed by the woke mind virus."62
Musk's transphobia suggests an answer to the question of what the woke mind virus really meant, and why the stakes of the struggle to defeat it may have felt so existential. Musk-ism's mandate to meld us with our machines represented an effort to turn humans into cyborgs, both figuratively and liter-ally. The cyborgs of the Muskist imagination were drawn from cyberpunk science fiction, where cybernetic augmentation gives people superpowers, such as enhanced strength and intel-ligence. But it is also possible to think of a transgender person as a cyborg. Their superpower is the ability to modify their body to better fit their gender identity, which is achieved through the use
of te
of technologies like hormone replacement therapy and surgery.
This raises a troubling possibility for Muskism: dissolving the boundary between the natural and the artificial might open the door for other boundaries to be redrawn.
The theorist Donna Haraway, in her 1985 essay "A Cyborg Manifesto," pointed to such opportunities as proof of the Manifesto," pointed to such opportunities as proof of the biotechnologies were "recrafting our bodie." he tate 6 and biotechnologies were "recrafting our bodies," she wrote, ts In doing so, they enabled new configurations of identity and embodiment. Cyborg feminism wasn't just about expanding the palette of personal expression, however, but inventing a new kind of politics. By "rejoicing in the illegitimate fusions of animal and machine," cyborg feminists could discover the political forms capable of fracturing the "matrices of domination" imposed by capitalism, patriarchy, and racism."* But this wasn't the only shape that a cyborg politics could take, Haraway cautioned. The fusions of animal and machine could also serve to strengthen traditional social hierarchies rather than undermine them. Here, the endpoint was "the final imposition of a grid of control on the planet," an idea that Haraway associated with Ronald Reagan's Star Wars program." The "grid of control" is a good description of Muskism's guiding ambition. (The Star Wars reference is also evocative, given the importance of the program's legacy to the early years of SpaceX.) Vigilance was required to ensure that the cyborg synthesis did not disturb the existing distribution of power. In the Western tradition, Haraway observed, "the relation between organism and machine has been a border war." For Muskism, this border war had to be waged in such a way as to erase some lines while hardening others. Humanity should merge with the machine—so long as it remained segmented by gender, race, and class. Call it cyborg conservatism.
