"Humanity's self-alienation has reached such a degree that it can experience its own destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order." - Walter Benjamin

If you don't transmute your anger into courageous action, it will manifest as intense apathy, depression, escapism, or disease, and you will constantly feel like you're wasting your incarnation.
Don't suppress it. Use it to create motion.

@BallouxFrancois It reminds me of my childhood, I understood around 15 years old, I feel sorry for you

For my entire life, I believed in the values of the West, the enlightenment, democracy and human rights, and I feel so disappointed right now.

The EU continues to hold Iran accountable.
Today, EU Member States ambassadors approved new sanctions targeting 19 regime officials and entities responsible for serious human rights violations.
As the Iran war continues, the EU will protect its interests and pursue those responsible for domestic repression. It also sends a message to Tehran that Iran’s future cannot be built on repression.

Philosopher Slavoj Žižek on why searching for your "true self" is a mistake:
Žižek argues that the pursuit of a true inner self is ultimately misguided. Deep introspection, he suggests, often reveals only disturbing or chaotic fantasies.
"Don't look for your inner self. You'll only find deep shit."
Instead of searching for an authentic core, Žižek believes genuine personal growth comes from embracing an external mask, a chosen social role.
"The only way to overcome yourself is to identify with your mask."
To illustrate this, he references the 1960 Rossellini film General Della Rovere.
The film tells the story of a poor man in occupied Italy who is caught by the Nazis. Because he resembles a famous resistance leader, General Della Rovere, the Nazis, who have already killed the real General, force him to pretend to be the General in prison to trick the resistance.
But something unexpected happens. The man identifies so deeply with the role that he refuses to cooperate with the Nazis. He is ultimately shot publicly as General Della Rovere.
Žižek calls this "good alienation." The man's "real self" as a poor beggar mattered less than his complete identification with the heroic persona. Through that total commitment to an outward role, he achieved a kind of moral greatness his "authentic" self never could.
The takeaway is counterintuitive but powerful: true freedom doesn't emerge from endlessly excavating your private, internal world. It emerges when you prioritise your outward actions and commitments. When you fully commit to becoming something greater than what you started as.
What matters is what you choose to embody.

@dani_avila7 @dani_avila7 Thanks for the inspiration! I built a small CLI tool that automates launching these kinds of sessions via Zellij/tmux. Not sure if it's useful to you but credit where credit is due. One day of vibe coding so far 😄github.com/arsis-dev/sand

I had a setup like this and when I reached dozens of active projects it just didn't scale. I prefer to have fresh contexts for everything. Frustration pushed to build:
runmaestro.ai
Free, open source, cross-platform. Supports Claude, Codex, OpenCode. Local or remote over SSH. Spec driven development baked in. Auto Run is an enhanced Ralph Wiggum. Keyboard shortcuts galore... and a touch of gamification.
I think it'll be right up your alley.

Absolutely loving this setup: Claude Code + Ghostty + Lazygit + Worktree
I’m writing 3 threads on X showing how you can use it:
1- Ghostty setup and SAND keybindings
2- Monitoring Claude Code changes with Lazygit
3- Parallel agents with Git worktrees + Claude Code
I’ll publish one per week, using exactly the same setup and workflow I use.
If you’re interested, feel free to follow along so you catch them

Even though AI agents make me more productive: when I use them, I end up working more, not less!
It’s such a contradiction: a thing that should be saving time ends up taking away more overall time…
A reason I find it hard to believe AI will lead to fewer hours/days worked…

@davidsenra In France, some « rich » who had benefited from the generosity of the state hastened to relocate after the liberalization of capital movements to multiply their fortune by 10 by deindustrializing the country and thus impoverishing it, it is not a theory
English
"Capitalism created the possibility of the win win win. It used to be a zero sum game where somebody won, somebody else lost.
The biggest mistake people make, intellectuals in particular, they still think we're in a zero sum world. They're obsessed with some billionaires because Bernie Sanders thinks that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk somehow stole the money from the people.
They don't understand that it's this prosperity machine that's creating more, not just for those billionaires, but for everything that they're touching. They're creating value for their customers, they're creating value for their employees. Their suppliers are flourishing, their investors are seeing their capital go up. It can be reinvested and compound.
All philanthropy ultimately comes from business. That's where the profits are.
Where does all the taxes come from? It ultimately comes from business as well.
This is the engine that's lifting humanity out. The entrepreneurs are the drivers of that engine. Somebody like Elon Musk, he gets a very, very, very tiny sliver of the value that he creates for the whole world."

La France vit ce que Hayek décrivait en 1944, mais en pire.
Une société qui a commencé à se dégrader à cause de politiques socialistes, et qui en conclut que le capitalisme a échoué.
Donc elle réclame… encore plus de socialisme.
Les gens voient leur niveau de vie baisser, les villes se dégrader, les services publics s’effondrer, la classe moyenne disparaître, et on leur explique que c’est la faute du marché.
Alors que c’est l’État qui a tout pris.
La France est aujourd’hui beaucoup plus profondément enfoncée dans le socialisme que les pays que Hayek analysait.
Et c’est précisément pour ça que le pays est pauvre, sale, bureaucratique et en train de sortir de l’histoire.
Mais le récit dominant inverse les causes.
On présente l’échec du socialisme comme un échec du capitalisme.
Et maintenant les écologistes arrivent avec la même logique totalitaire.
Ils expliquent que la planification est inéluctable.
Que la décroissance est nécessaire.
Que l’énergie doit être contrôlée.
Que la production doit être dirigée.
C’est exactement la mécanique que Hayek décrivait : les dégâts du contrôle servent de prétexte à toujours plus de contrôle.
La France est déjà une économie planifiée.
Et on veut encore renforcer ce système.
La seule vraie porte de sortie n’est pas politique.
Elle est individuelle.
La sécession fiscale est le seul moyen de ne pas finir broyé avec le reste du pays.

Venezuela used to be twice as wealthy as Chile. Then Chile adopted free-market principles while Venezuela chose socialism.
Now Chile is the wealthiest large country in South America and Venezuela the poorest.
Free markets work, socialism makes nations poor.

Emmanuel Todd: “The war in Ukraine is perceived in the West as a Russian invasion of Ukraine, and of course, I admit that it was the Russian army that entered Ukraine. But the historical reality is that the true cause of the conflict is NATO's expansion into Russia, through Ukraine, and the war waged by the Ukrainians themselves, pushed by the West, against the Russians in Donbas. It is absolutely true that, for the Russians, this war is defensive. For me, it is obvious that the Americans and Europeans are the aggressors, since they have come within a thousand kilometers of Moscow. This is the objective situation. What is fascinating is that these aggressors think they are the ones being attacked and that they are forced to defend themselves. There is an element of madness in our situation in Europe.”

This holiday, unwrap the power of one: USB-C for all.
Yes, not just phones, tablets, and laptops. In three years, every charger will be under the same tree.
Because less waste, smarter choices, mean more for everyone, all year long.

reading what others are reading will rarely lead to you to generate any original thoughts & will almost always lead to group think.
the only real way to create original thoughts is by exposing yourself to niche aspects of relationships, life, culture, & even tech as much as possible.
everything else is pure noise.
