It was immediately obvious this kid was another fucking cultist. Wild claims with nothing but adolescent sci-fi themed speculation? Vacant-eyed messiah complex? Gives “don’t talk to him at a party” vibes? Yup. Another convert to the Very Smart Boys for AI Jesus cult.

The inevitable documentaries are literally going to make Wild Wild Country look quaint, and NYT, CNN, Bernie Fucking Sanders… all complicit in giving this doomsday cult of delusional rapists ever greater platforms and influence.

One of the most disgusting aspects of mainstream journalists treating these cult psychopaths as normal is that the sexual assault allegations aren’t even difficult to find. They make a fucking joke out of rape culture.

Being a narcissist with an 8th grade education, an internet connection, and Peter Thiel money seems to make you pretty resilient to believing anyone else has ever figured out anything.

Yeah, I think all these dudes have custom cocktails, but cocaine and ketamine are clearly doing some heavy lifting. All these boys are in the “desperately trying to hold it together with drugs” phase of their fascist fever dreams, just like their papa OG.

I get cynicism about Altman facing consequences, maybe he won’t, but you break the wrong laws and it’s hard to weasel out. 22 people from Enron went to prison. With this much money in the hands of these idiots and things going so catastrophically south, there’s no way they ain’t breaking laws.

I’m not sure it’s lucidity, but narcissists are deep down driven by crippling self-hatred. His focus always reflects his real fears. Even the ballroom; part of him is still more concerned he’ll be viewed as a failed developer than a failed president.

It’s often both. It’s motivated reasoning. Another component of that which we don’t talk about much is the nature of elite social structures. Their actions and beliefs are usually downstream from their sense of belonging and importance within their social world.

It’s helpful (esp for white people) to watch some legal reviews of cop bodycam footage on YouTube. You can see this tactic in practice and how people are “rewarded” for their cooperation. It would be great if anyone knows of a guide for interacting with cops/ICE as a healthcare worker.

You can't keep talking and hoping for jury nullification if you are the type always getting out of jury duty. We need people on our side to take jury duty as a duty to fight ICE abuse, rape and murder. Pressure everyone you know to stick with jury duty. You are our only hope in this corrupt system.

I (professionally) stood my ground once when a subordinate refused to listen to my direction. He stood up, inches away staring down at me like he was going to hit me. In a corporate office with a dozen witnesses. He didn’t get fired. He was “stressed”. This is why women don’t always tell men off.

I feel so bad explaining these people to someone who hasn’t long ago rotted their brain in the dark recesses of tech culture and dumb internet stuff. This should have been lost to history. It should be the thing some dude’s wife of 15 years has no idea he spent 14 hours a day on from 2002 to 2009.

Society is being shaped a little too much by a bizarre pseudo cult started by lonely neurodiverse kids reading ray kurzweil and misinterpreting utilitarian philosophy on internet message boards 25 years ago.

I think about this all the time and he articulates it so well. We don’t always recognize it or know what to do with it, but everyone has some pain, some trauma, some fear. Everyone is seeking security and belonging.

To be fair, it’s also the choice of journalists to practice a comparable level of negligence and credulously repeat the mythological narrative.
