I have a theory that the 2012-2024 Great Awokening was caused by a supply crunch in Takes. Social media meant millions of young people feeling pressure to have interesting & intelligent by Takes, while the small fish, big pond effect drastically lifted the quality of Take needed

The Daily Mail has to be the most vindicated and unfairly maligned publication of all time. They spent the 90s relentlessly raising the issues of bogus asylum seekers, EU overreach and pedophilia cover-ups. Were called cranks and hysterics, yet that’s all the news ever is now.
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski

Still not sure why we're putting Daily Mail *and* journalist in the same sentence? They protect power and wealth of their owner at all costs. That's all. Media reform to stop a tiny amount of people owning the vast majority of our media urgently needed. thenational.scot/news/25977650.…

@spandrell4 My startup has developed software to automate 50% of white collar jobs (it dials into Zoom calls with a video of someone nodding and apparently listening, then inserting inane LinkedInisms at opportune moments)

@chrisinthebooks @real_mahalingam The actual problem in the pricing mechanism is its poor handling of people like the avergae thief or socialist who in fact have net negative value. I hesitate to suggest the Chinese solution of harvesting the organs of criminals though

The thing about this is we actually have a way to measure if "the thief was happier to get it than you are sad to lose it". It's called a price. Not only does it ensure the buyer is happier to get it than you are to lose it, it ensures the buyer gets it from the person who is *least* sad to lose it (where this sadness accounts for the sadness of the person who sold them the raw materials for the bike, etc).

What if women aren’t actually conscious? What if qualia is stored in the balls? Would that make women pee-zombies?

And he closes with "by the way it's a near certainty one of the gangsters I'm reminiscing about was pretending to help a Jewish militia slaughter civilians then pocketing the cash, but I believe he was sincerely working to arm terrorists"

"You may have noticed I'm bragging about how anti-Semitic tropes are absolutely true, but don't worry, I also wrote an entire book about how they're malicious lies and we must destroy anyone who believes them"

This 2008 Ron Rosenbaum reflection on Bernie Madoff contains an absolutely beautiful example of Jewish self-justification. Seamless transition from "the gentiles are bigger crooks because they stole the land and had slaves" to "the gentiles are bigger crooks, they have employees"

@woke8yearold Wasn't Madoff just a straight Ponzi but with an added flavor of "of course these returns aren't possible from legitimate enterprise but a guy as connected as me can do it wink wink"

It's funny how in the 90s white collar crime was super complex and deep. Enron, Bernie Madoff defrauding people with complex webs of lies for decades, etc. In our era it's just people committing crimes and being like lol what are you gonna do arrest me

Just spoke to a man in Boca Chica, TX: He is 54 with a $852 billion net worth most of it is in: -Business equity -Rocket Ships He’s a net worth billionaire on paper but 100% reliant on his stressful job since he holds very cash and has billions in loans. ...Millions of people are in this silent trap.

It's not an ideology at all, it's mean girl hatred of the outgroup elevated to the level of totalizing religion and depe spiritual ugliness. Their first and highest principle is harm of the people they hate

They'd rather the infirm be housebound than admit white male technocapitalism solved self-driving. They'd rather take away billionaire's companies even when it becomes clear it makes everyone poorer.

@lobotryas @shorttimelines @eigenrobot There is but it's a tiny proportion of total shipping, nobody has trains coming out of individual farms or in to shopping centres. Arteries are important but they're pointless without capillaries

@RevanWashington @shorttimelines @eigenrobot Sure, but rail is much more fuel efficient when you look at how much a locomotive can haul. So I gather there's no cross-continent East/West rail passage? It's too late now, but honestly I'm genuinely surprised. Even America has such a railway!

China has cut Australia off for Jet A1 fuel (kerosene), all of next months shipments cancelled. Normally 12/month. There’s one ship inbound. That’s it. China is Australia’s largest Jet Fuel supplier.
