There's something really deep behind this that reveals why the world has been gradually getting more woke for hundreds of years. What he fails to understand is this phenomenon comes from the same place as wokeness. It proceeds directly from the pursuit of industrial efficiency. When efficiency, whether of land, knowledge, or "human resources" is the goal, the result tends toward a Minimal Viable Product in *everything*. All solutions converge to that which is most efficient for the global industrial machine. Not only do properties converge, countries converge. Products converge. Ideas and skills converge. People converge. The foundational ideology of woke is that everyone should be equal - where equal doesn't mean equality of opportunity, it means equal outcomes. That is to say, everyone should be the same. Regardless of race, sex, sexuality, nationality, even disability: all differences are the enemy of the industrial mindset. Differences are both unfair and unproductive. That's why we're no longer men and women, we are humans. We're no longer black, yellow, red and white, we must ignore race and mix as much as possible to become a uniform beige. We shouldn't be nationalistic, we should be global citizens; to maximize the utilization of human resources. We shouldn't pay people more based on their efforts or skills; we should all have the same rewards regardless. Why do they think this? Because they measure success in industrial fashion: by wealth, comfort and power. They have no higher measure of mankind than what man has created for himself. All that is needed for this to happen is for people to value money first and foremost. The global market determines the rest. In a world where efficiency and technique is the cause of human progress, everything eventually turns to lowest common denominator slop. Even - and especially - people. Perhaps we should call it Ensloppification. There is another word regarding people, from the Quake series. Undoubtedly it is one of the many goals of our tech bro overlords.

I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.

The fact that the cancel mob was too afraid to cancel Chuck Norris while he was alive sounds like a Chuck Norris joke

Chuck Norris isn’t dead, he’s just sleeping. One day, he will rise again with a new and glorious body. This isn’t a Chuck Norris Joke. It’s the truth. Because of his saviour: Jesus.

4 years ago today, oil was $113.69 a barrel, it’s $96 a barrel now. I didn’t see the NZ MSM cutting live to gas stations around the country back then, or quizzing the government about oil reserves! Just saying

rewatched some pirates of the caribbean bts featurettes today… movies are so cool man

the dune movies were doomed from the start to be good and not great due to the casting of chalamet as paul. he does not have the gravitas for a child-god and is much better suited for kind of silly coming of age movies
