Patrick O'Neil @upspatrick.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Someone needs to write something comparing the ideologies around effective altruism with H.G. Wells' Things to Come and the idea of a world government that had to take over because people were so irrational and prone to disaster. 070
Patrick O'Neil @upspatrick.bsky.social · 19/09/2026No war is started in the film. That's the whole point. It's a stunt. 011
Patrick O'Neil @upspatrick.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Are you able to clarify whether one can talk to baggage services for AA or SAS at SeaTac? They've lost my luggage and are giving my the runaround online. I'd come back to the airport if someone would just talk to me 000

Patrick O'Neil @upspatrick.bsky.social · 29/04/2026It looks to me like retailers are slow to reprice gas at the pump in spite of the last couple of days. Am I correct in assuming they are loathe to make a dramatic jump until they know they have no other choice? 010

Then, if he's lying, we don't need the quote. A simple statement "Donald Trump lied again" will do. Save us all a LOT of time - you don't have to write a lot of nonsense, we don't have to read it. 1052601661

Patrick O'Neil @upspatrick.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Szeged for the win! My first home away from home in the 1980s. "Pol Pot County," the wags called it, because of the local party leadership. 010

Patrick O'Neil @upspatrick.bsky.social · 12/04/2026I'm going to keep posting this to remind myself that experts are no more immune to self-delusion than anyone else. Anyone who's read Tetlock would know this. To be fair I posted this earlier today because it seemed so not in keeping with what was unfolding. 100
