Well, that explains my ban

What’s the old saying, “Edison worked by gaslight while perfecting the lightbulb”?

I think that applies here. To a certain degree we still often have to participate in imperfect systems while we advocate for better ones. The people working on renewables or electric vehicles still used electricity from coal plants and gas guzzling vehicles. Many of us can see how extractive capitalism is hurting us and our communities, yet we’re forced to participate in it to eat.

I’d select one or maybe two services you can tolerate that are the tools best suited for building your tribe. Insulate them the best you can, be conscious of your own usage of those platforms, and talk… A LOT… about why privacy matters and what these platforms are doing.

A lot of people simply don’t know or don’t know there’s a community trying desperately to build alternatives. Perhaps a community also still flawed, but **progress is greater than perfection! **

As far as cameras go, understand your routes best you can. Be a blip instead of a constant feed. Same with online presence. OK. They know John Doe number 1.5 million and twenty-two exists- but you have some control over whether they know which direction you wipe your bunghole. Take the small victories!

Use and hack the systems that exist today to build better ones for tomorrow.

And whatever you do be careful you don’t become like my great uncle— he thought the Soviet’s had microphones under his plates and spies were hiding in his closet (he was a farmer from podunk nowhere.) but he also fed his tractor hay so— that might have just been schizophrenia…

But, seek balance today so you don’t go mad tomorrow! And if you start feeding your tractor hay, seek help.

Do we know the identity of his murderer(s)? I’m sick of nameless “settler violence.” Someone knows who pulled the trigger.

Wait, the hyper-libertarian technocrat who supports authoritarian independent tech billionaire owned/run “utopias” suddenly needs a private nuclear enrichment facility… the guy who wasn’t sure the “human race should endure” …that guy?

I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.

Which you know they will, they’re all either going “home” to visit or jet setting to some poorer nation state with all that welfare money the US gives them to live off.

It’s been that time for a long time

In a perfect world. But he is the sitting president and does sign bills into law. But you’re right, I’m referring to executive orders as well. But the GENIUS Act he signed after passing the House and the series of AI Executive Orders like Preventing Woke AI, Export of the American AI Tech Stack and his deregulation on Data Centers. . They’re rushing forward with all of this while the whirlwind of Epstein news dominates the news cycle. These are massive power shifts and it’s only been a week.

I would argue the Epstein scandal is the distraction here not the other way around. He’s also signing a lot of shady tech legislation we should all be frightened by.

I think that’s very possible. They’re using him as a fall guy too. They want to transition power to someone who’s not so fickle and more loyal while avoiding elections. They have to constantly course correct him because he’s actually wildly incompetent and he goes off script. He’s easy to manipulate but that means he’s easy to manipulate by everyone.

Also, look at all the tech stuff he’s passing right now. It’s super concerning and is going to have long term impact on our ability to do anything beyond tech monopoly control. Everything is “EPSTEIN” meanwhile he’s signing crypto laws, ai deregulation and all kinds of scary dystopian tech bills.

If you don’t know who Curtis Yarvin and what the Dark Enlightenment is and who his acolytes are— it’d be a good place to start to understand what’s possibly happening here. Hint: JD Vance is a loyalist.

Clearly, other ideologies are also blocked then correct? Like, you can’t say, “no Christian nationalists” or “no white nationalists” or “no fascists” or “no Neo-Nazis” or “no MAGA”. Right? Right?? You have to accept and expose yourself to all dangerous ideologies equally.

Ah “toxic empathy” this is the “I need to protect my mental health— I can’t be bothered with seeing homeless people or caring about genocide. It hurts me to care, so I just won’t.” crowd. And every last one of them is a “magical empath” with more empathy than anyone ever had ever. They’re the mostest empathetic and don’t question it!

I know Iceland’s geothermal is a hot spot for mining crypto-currency because it costs absolutely next to nothing. When you’re running massive mining centers off of the earth’s burps there is opportunity to turn a massive profit.

Now, do I think it’s incentivizing a large shift in the production of energy? I’m not sure. Are crypto-bros reinvesting their earnings into renewables research and infrastructure? Or are they buying gas guzzling sports cars and jet setting to all the best parties?

At this point in time, a lot of the “green crypto” feels more like greenwashing than actual ethical development. But who knows, maybe someday that will change?

The plot twist at the end there got me

Today it’s immigrants, tomorrow it’s everyone else.

Good ole Donald J. Quixote

Glad I’m not the only one whose mind went straight there

More fear mongering to serve the Zionist agenda of “no safe place” for the Jewish community despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary globally. Here is some clarifying information:

`A Vueling spokesperson said the passengers were removed after the minors repeatedly tampered with the plane’s emergency equipment and interrupted the crew’s safety demonstration.

“A group of passengers engaged in highly disruptive behavior and adopted a very confrontational attitude, putting at risk the safe conduct of the flight,” Vueling said in a statement.

A Civil Guard spokesperson said the captain of the plane ordered the removal of the minors from the plane at Valencia’s Manises Airport after they repeatedly ignored the crew’s instructions.

Spain’s Civil Guard said the minors and adults are French nationals. A Civil Guard spokesperson said the agents involved were not aware of the group’s religious affiliation.

The Civil Guard said 23 minors and two adults from the group boarded a flight belonging to another airline, while the rest spent Wednesday night at a hotel.

The spokesperson said arrangements were being made for them to leave Valencia later Thursday. `

I’m going to play the devil advocate here and say this is actually rather impressive. Look at all of those towers which I imagine are steel, something up and coming for the era. And the new methods of drilling being implemented. This was cutting edge stuff in 1859. Dawn of an era. Birth of several blue collar trades. Just like we have “forefronts of innovation” today that one day we’ll look back at and cringe. This was exciting stuff in its time. Pinnacle of human progress.

There are 3 Dimensions of Power

1. Decision-Making
2. Agenda Setting
3. Thought Control

Network Television and print media were the old ways. You’d control what people perceive to be important through sitcom values and talk show hosts. AI is just the next generation, making it even more intimate and organic, but the end goal remains the same.

The bot armies in comment sections are here to make you think you’re part of a hive mind; that you’re one with the crowd, but in reality you’re being manipulated into conformity.

Instead of your favorite actor onscreen or talking head telling you what is “normal” to think and believe, a chat bot in your pocket or a comment section on your favorite social media is guiding you towards what’s “normal”, toward what’s the “correct” answer.
