Ian @uudude.bsky.social · 03/10/2026✋🏻 that’s me. I’m going into ministry and have a background in ecology, which is to say: I love the very concept of ‘life’ and all that life can do and be. The idea of simulating life for the purpose of tricking people into thinking they’re interacting with a living thing, is morally repugnant. 000

Ian @uudude.bsky.social · 27/09/2026@goingmedieval.bsky.social weird medieval question! My understanding is that medieval Europeans had some ideas about what “paganism” was, but that (almost) all pagans were wiped out hundreds of years before. So, where did the common medieval understanding of paganism come from? 011

Ian @uudude.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The right has done this—very successfully—for at least a decade. Whether you like Piker or not he’s not spouting nonsense. What he’s doing is useful and strategic 040
Ian @uudude.bsky.social · 17/09/2026One way, I think, so see Piker is as an Overton-window-shifter. He has a platform and uses it to say things that are very leftist, and some might even see as extreme. That creates drama and so gets media coverage, and those ideas gradually begin to seems less radical as people are exposed to them 131
Reposted by IanBetter Things Are Possible @internethippo.bsky.social · 10/09/2025I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture 5065951721

Ian @uudude.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It's interesting how their story frames them as both antagonist and protagonist. Just as people are beginning to question whether Silicon Valley is the center of the world, suddenly a new narrative pops up that happens to frame them and their work as the only thing that really matters. 000
