@JeremiahSuit Never got into them. Drugs seem required for enjoyment of most electronic. Back to your microwave theory.

@captainrontron My diatribe aside, I do like Crystal Castles. They were at least masters of melody.

If hip-hop was a psyop, then electronic music is the brain-melting microwave weapon. 90% of that stuff is just a downbeat with a few beeps and boops. On a long drive with some friends from LA, they were like, "Dude, you gotta hear *Thugf**ker* it's so badass." I was like, "Thugf**ker...damn, that shit sounds like it's about to rip open my aural horizons...put that shit on, bro." It was the most boring, gayest shit I've ever heard in my entire life. And I don't even care that it's gay...it's just shitty and boring music for people who have totally lost the script on what decent music is. There are a very few electronic acts that carry some sort of emotional weight in their music, but they are extremely rare.

Marxism is a secular religion masquerading as a rational ideology; people who believe in it see themselves as missionaries of the capital-t Truth, standing up for the right side of history, doing battle for the glorious Communist future that’s their exact equivalent of the New Jerusalem descending from the clouds in glory.
The mere fact that Marxian socialism has failed whenever it’s been tried has no more effect on their faith than the last two thousand years of divine no-shows dents the faith of Christians in the imminence of the Second Coming.

Virgil's Georgics is a blueprint with practical wisdom.
Whiteface is an important concept. Most LARP.
But reading old poetry, like keeping dogs, raising cattle, riding horses, working with wood, is another thread that goes back through time. It is culture.

No. He’s saying the work of culture happens unconsciously. Once it is consious it is a different thing. I call it whiteface. The books you fetishize are not blue prints. They are eulogies

@L0m3z Each project is unique. Many variables. Framing the issue as either a subservient booster for every project or an enemy chud if you ask questions is absurd. People are too smart for that. When it comes to development many of their enemies are probably smarter than they are.

The tech bro douche squad don't wear arrogance well. They lack the self-awareness to realize most Americans can now smell their bullshit before they even start talking. These morons have been stepping over fentzombies for at least a decade without concern for their communities.

I’m generally pro-data center, but if you’re a normie, here is the story you’ve been hearing from Silicon Valley over the last decade: -AI is probably going to take your job. -It might kill you. -You will probably become part of “the permanent underclass”. -The very Big Tech billionaires+companies who have been more hostile+malicious to conservatives than any other business bloc in the world over the last decade will become unimaginably rich, while you+everyone you love will lose your job and become poor @Cernovich -The main spokesmen/“faces” in charge (Dario and Scam Altman) are openly hostile to you, your values, your politics, your way of life and everything you stand for -The tasteless philistines in tech are going to plant an utterly hideous industrial monstrosity in your backyard and probably pay you nothing. -for all this, in return you get: ???? It is not remotely difficult to understand why normies have reservations…& imbeciles on this website should stop pretending that it is. As usual, the blinkered tech spergs are abysmal at persuasion because they do not understand people, politics, or anything outside their (extremely narrow) cone of technical expertise and how any of this sounds outside their siloed, out-of-touch SF echo-chamber. If you support data centers, as I generally do, the normies are the last people you should blame.

Iliad end of book 6 Paris is compared to a freed stallion who has pride in his strength and is sure of his glorious strength. Why people who observe animool directly in nature can speak like this, but others who have never seen think glory and honor are concepts or abstractions?

No.
America is a nation of people connected to this land.

The structural design precedes the decorative design.
The decorative design shall emerge from, enhance & embellish the primary structural form.
Appendages, 'massing', should be designed with unity towards the [vertical] primary mass, measurably related with & subordinated; it should echo & repeat with lines the same character & placement that the primary mass has.

@S___Elliott Emily is right. The cool thing about America, it's not an ideology. It's a place and a people. Just like France or Japan. You are either for America, her lands and her people, or you are not. Out of respect for Mr. Elliott I want say what else you are. You aren't smart or brave.

It's time people start listening to Emily.

God, why can't we just be rid of these ideologies? Socialism doesn’t work. Fascism doesn’t work. The best systems are liberal ones (small l liberal) embedded in market economies with social safety nets. That’s not some effing ideology - that’s an empirical, verifiable fact.

@JerrickNaylor As far as tech culture goes, they've been coasting on easy street for two decades.

@captainrontron I think we've been at the hard times part for awhile, which is good because that means weakness is dissolving in the acid

90s-00s tech culture was about Think Different.

I'm still thinking about this throughout the day. Hermes is an important god and the crux of the story of the Odyssey.

Disappointed to find out Hermes is left out of Nolan's Odyssey.

We don't need slave labor for farms.
And there are many new technologies in agriculture.
This is not one of them.
This replaces little to no farm labor.
And has been around since 2015.

Neocons and liberals will look you dead in the eyes and say we need slave labor farm workers even though this tech exists
