🎙️NEW POD: FIXING BUGS IN DEMOCRACY What if democracy worked more like open-source software? @jessaroo speaks with @takahiroanno, an AI engineer and sci-fi writer who just won a seat in Japan's parliament. youtu.be/A_S6GP5-lBQ

Que privilégio que é falar Português Brasileiro--obrigada Céu das Línguas--e estar viva em um momento onde nossa cultura é tão enaltecida.

"O Brasil só toma jeito no dia em que desistir de tomar jeito e investir pesado na indústria do escarcéu pra exportar pro resto do mundo nossa tecnologia do furdunço. E assim, um dia, quem sabe, nossas instituições estarão à altura do nosso carnaval"

Next Friday, on Nov 14 we'll be gathering for Learning with Ukraine 🇺🇦, a global conversation on democratic resilience & frontline innovation: 👉 luma.com/0iyrzr14 Why?

@lazarorosa25 Isso que choveu a tarde inteira

Rapaz, estou impressionado com a quantidade de pessoas na manifestação em Curitiba. Repito: Curitiba! Cara, superou e muito as manifestações da extrema direita. Estou de cara 🇧🇷👏🏾

This is how people in Brazil are responding to unaccountable congress members who want to change the law to be completely unaccountable for crimes and along the way pardon those who tried a Coup D’etat back in early 2023

@goura_nataraj ✊

Curitiba nas ruas pra dizer: SEM anistia e NÃO à PEC da impunidade para políticos! Comenta aí se você também foi às ruas nesse domingo ✊️ 📸 Rafael Bertelli

Was a real pleasure to discuss my work on community currencies and the future of governance in the age of AI with @gov_futures. Many thanks @Bbeats1 & @Jamilya_eth!

@MemeMagician97 @glenweyl @sudan_shoe @curtis_yarvin Who are you referring to?

@MemeMagician97 @glenweyl @sudan_shoe @curtis_yarvin Please clarify what do you mean by “those populations”

When confronted by @glenweyl on past writings advocating that welfare recipients be placed in solitary confinement with only screen-based interaction, @curtis_yarvin defended it as a humane policy for the large number of ‘zero marginal product humans’.

@MemeMagician97 @sudan_shoe @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin Now I’m the one thinking you have text interpretation difficulties… lol. I’d say I “owned” you just now but I don’t believe in human beings having absolute power over one another so I avoid that language 😂

@_paulaberman @sudan_shoe @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin I think you should delete this tweet by putting words on his mouth that are not actually his.

@MemeMagician97 @sudan_shoe @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin Ok, since you can’t give me a straight answer on this, let me ask you another question: do you think Curtis Yarvin should delete his writings defending solitary confinement for slum residents and welfare beneficiaries? He clearly changed his mind—so why keep it online?

@_paulaberman @sudan_shoe @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin That question can be applied to any sort of regime change. I'm not impressed by the government we have now ; I don't think it did a good job of preserving the rule of law either, since there isn't much of it left. Change is always scary, Paula, but sometimes you gotta let go.

@MemeMagician97 @sudan_shoe @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin Who or what determines who is considered a criminal, in a scenario where there’s no rule of law?

@_paulaberman @sudan_shoe @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin solitary confinement is for criminals he says so in the video you posted...

@MemeMagician97 @sudan_shoe @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin Do you support Yarvin’s proposal to place slum populations and welfare recipients in solitary confinement? Given you just praised your own text interpretation abilities in the other post, I hope you can provide a straight answer.

@_paulaberman @sudan_shoe @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin I dont actually want whole squats of the population living in slums either, maybe you do. But maybe we can add some more requirements for those subisidies. A better question would be, what can history teach us on dealing with this issue? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesuit_mi…

@MemeMagician97 @sudan_shoe @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin Since when people receiving housing subsidies became violent criminals and drug addicts?

@sudan_shoe @glenweyl @_paulaberman @curtis_yarvin Imagine the new avenues we would have for game developing if we were to recivilize violent criminals and drug additcs with immersive VR tech? So many people want to be game designers already, and the industry has never been more stale.

@MemeMagician97 @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin That’s one way to interpret it. Another is that he contradicts his own writing and starts sweating profusely while trying to formulate a cogent response, which he ultimately fails to do. It’s painful to watch.

@_paulaberman @glenweyl @curtis_yarvin Curtis completely owns Weyl on the clip btw.

Another piece of writing by Curtis Yarvin, similar to the one read by Glen during the debate unqualified-reservations.org/2008/11/patchw…
