god made some people nonbinary as an insurance policy against rogue AIs, they're natural terminator finders. it's sort of like the generous gay uncle evolution hypothesis but for terminators

ever since Kushner deliberately sabotaged covid prevention in blue states I've been thinking the union has essentially been dissolved anyway. like they broke the fundamental deal of federalism and did so openly and everyone shrugged.

tolerance requires intolerance of intolerance. i don't think this is a paradox so much as a quirk of the english language. but 'the paradox of tolerance' is a banger set of terminology for the problem

they want to be the adults in a room that no longer exists. everyone is gathered in a different room that has no adults currently and is drawing nazi slogans on the wall with their feces and going feral. you gotta be the adult in the room where people are, and where people are is the spectacle.

say what you will about the viability of Marx's final destination, the man had good "go THAT way, dipshits!" instincts that seem to have been lost

they should really be able to indict you after arrest within a couple of days to satisfy the speedy trial requirement, three months is absurd

null hypothesis is a useful concept all over the place, whenever i'm foolishly arguing with a conspiracy theorist, discussing philosophy with the lads, when i'm paranoid about the man-sized owl that follows me around, I invoke the null hypothesis

some part of me suspects Miller knows that if some kind of terrorist attack or major crime happens while the FBI or whoever is off doing his racism crusade, it's win-win for him, he gets his Reichstag fire anyway because the public will rally around Trump

the incompetence is the point I think, they want to humiliate the US government so it can be replaced with their white ethnostate theocracy libertarian cyber-enclaves or whatever they cooked up in their most recent k-hole

but Trump lied constantly to win elections and people love that about him? It seems like because he was consistent about being a racist, misogynistic shitbag, that's what counted for his base, and all the other lies were just kayfabe to them

yeah, the crank realignment was fatal. the amount of sheer death that's about to happen/is happening because someone with the "Kennedy" last name believes in sorcery is really depressing to me. real "the mythology around Rasputin" shit.

on the one hand, if they do get their wish, they'll get to find out why high-cooperation is the human norm and every-man-for-himself is a death sentence, but on the other hand, i'd really rather just keep having new video games to look forward to

for the dictator, I get it, rule in hell instead of serving in heaven. I don't endorse it, but I get it. but the supporters? the pro-dictator people? you'd rather serve in hell than serve in heaven?

Miller's whole objective is a fear - he wants to say "reason will not dissuade us, compassion will not dissuade us, we will be cruel, we will be indiscriminate, we will be unreasoning." this is intended to convince the world not to come to America.

"low trust" is better read as an immediate rejection of complexity or uncertainty or anything you do not immediately understand, as an ego protection. "low trust" people fall for scams in much greater amounts.

the human animal is not meant to be isolated yet surrounded by others, who it can only treat as either predators or prey. we're meant to have friends and stuff, get some drinks with the lads, have conversations, etc.

it'd be like going through each of your cities and pressing "dismantle" on the University building you already put hammers into and need to keep for your endgame science production...

the thing i always come back to, is if you've got all that good stuff, why not just build big cylinders, spin 'em, and live inside? why bother with a gravity well and dust storms and Martian murder cicadas at all?

i think people are mainly saying there will never be a thriving, self-sustaining *society* on Mars. someone will live there one day doing science but it will never have like, an economy.

conservatives sometimes go in on "we can't make things TOO EASY!" and I'm always like, guys, the universe is full of death and loss we can never fix, we don't have to be cruel to each other, the uncaring cosmos has that covered

i think it's funny he's obsessed for getting the award but rejects all the principles the award represents
well, funny is a word I'm choosing to use for how I feel about this
