    It’s shocking to me that the AI proponents say it will replace the very high skilled labor (artists, developers, engineers, lawyers, doctors etc) but they never mention that it generates better emails, internal memos policies and PowerPoint slides than +90% of the “Management Class”.

    You know making fuel prohibitively expensive is a much gentler way of locking down society so they can reset the world order. Last time all the “Important” people kept getting caught violating the lockdowns. This time… no hypocrisy required. And the serfs still have to stay indoors and be quiet.

    Maybe they have decided it’s time to reset the simulation and do another lock-down and virus scare. That’s fun. I won’t be participating this time either, but they can knock themselves out for all I care.

    Y’all ready for a “Super El Niño”? I dunno exactly what that means but apparently that’s what we are doing this year.

    Lifehack: if you make “plans” close enough to the last minute it’s exactly the same as if you had no plan at all.

    Turns out people have a lot more faith in the moon landing than I would have assumed.

    @CapitalB To be completely fair to the fairer sex though, the reason they get stuck in these loops isn’t because they can’t figure it out, its because they are trying to solve for too many problems at once. For a man picking a shirt to buy goes like “I need a shirt -&gt; This one looks good -&gt; I can afford it -&gt; Done”. A woman is solving for many more factors, what will her friends say? will her boss like it? Is my boyfriend mad at me? Does it match my shoes? Is my hair the right color...

    With “Greatest Allies” like these, who needs enemies?

    The trick of the politician is to tie your identity to them, “I’m a democrat”, “I’m a Trump supporter”, “I’m a trans”, “I’m an American”, “I’m a Brit”, “Hey there bud, what’s this aboot, I’m a Canadian eh!”… This does a couple things, first it grafts the tribal part of your brain to them and their causes. I think this is the part of the brain that creates and maintains stereotypes and heuristics (thought shortcuts). It’s the part that creates an “Us” from disparate people, and a “Them”. 1/2

    My faith in the “Expert” class continues to erode, I thought that the COVID era was going to be the very bottom, but I have since learned that people consider me an expert on things at work. We are all in a lot of trouble.
