Gosh this is weird. So many of the points here seem really good and important, yet many of the other points here are so distorted as to be almost unrecognizable. It reads to me like bad religion.
E.g. he knows about the Aral sea and yet argues against the "Precautionary Principle"!?
(It seems strange to me to mention the Aral sea as an example of Soviet ecological incompetence, which it surely is, but then fail to mention the Salton sea, a similar disaster perpetuated by non-Communists.)
The biggest problem I have with this manifesto is that there's nothing actionable in it. What are we, the little people who aren't techno-elite billionaires, supposed to do now? Just wait for techno-Jesus to save us?
- zzzzzzzza 3y agoi have some spiritual practice suggestions: 1. maintain and improve your emacs&nixos configurations, 2. create a personal database and add new capabilities to it (for example you could start by making a database to track github stars that could for instance store hashes of specific commits) 3. with your newfound data model and programmable/configurable environment, slowly integrate AI into your life
- carapace 3y agoI think you may have replied to the wrong thread? Your comment is non sequitur.

- carapace 3y agoAh, that makes more sense, thank you. FWIW, I'm going to be using Guix on my next computer.
- carapace 3y agoI want to change my comment (but the edit window is long gone.) This "manifesto" is batshit insane.
