Diogenes of Sinope@MaltHb·
We've contrived to invent a new kind of hypocrite. The old hypocrite was a man whose aims were really worldly and practical while he pretended that they were religious. The new hypocrite is one whose aims are really religious while he pretends that they are worldly and practical.

Ok guys it's very simple: When you pick a woman, you're also picking a drama level. Every woman comes prebuilt with her preferred amount. If you do not produce enough to satisfy her, she will create more. Never choose a woman whose demand for drama exceeds your production.

If your politics can be articulated as a set of rational ideals or put forward as a set of policy proposals, you are an ideologue. In the modern context it is almost impossible to escape the necessity of ideology. Even religion struggles to avoid this reality.

I may be causing trouble, but watching Youtube with @BrendanEich's Brave browser knocks out all commercials except those embedded by the podcast host.

“So this ruling will enshrine Cherokee territorial sovereignty in law” “And we can do anything we want with the land, including building hyperscale AI data centres on it without state interference that make us really rich?” “What’s a hyperscale AI data centre?” “You’ll see”

imagine going back to 1832 and explaining to chief justice John Marshall that the tribal sovereignty he enshrined in Worcester v. Georgia would give the Cherokee Nation the freedom to build hyperscale AI data centers without state interference

@BankerWeimar Ancient peoples didn't just throw their babies into fires because it was cool and popular. It actually "works" if you're pointed toward hell.

What America people looked like when boomers were forming families and buying 1st-2nd homes. No fat brainwashed women calling for changes to society… they’d have been laughed out of the room

@HellenicEchoes The first step (for the rest of them) is to get rid of any tricolours. It was the French Revolution that began to lead us to this place.

Why isn’t it investigated as war crimes? Israel is following a repeated pattern of blatant violations of the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Why is no one doing anything about it? Starmer, Macron, Merz, Meloni,… all complicit

@0x49fa98 @pegobry_en Near-term eschatalogical predictions make the most money. Long-term eschatalogical predictions are the most fascinating. Anything in between is fake and gay.

There’s a typo. You meant to write: "In AI 2027, we predicted that AI would take over the world or irreversibly concentrate power. It’s now mid-2026, and it’s become obvious our predictions were ridiculous. We deeply apologize and promise to never talk about AI anymore."
Daniel Kokotajlo@DKokotajlo

In AI 2027, we predicted that AI would take over the world or irreversibly concentrate power. In AI 2040: Plan A, we've laid out our positive vision for what should happen instead.
