No I mean entire cultures have surrounded tattooing for thousands of years. A decade means nothing

There’s only one way to win in a game theory world and that’s to be on top at the end. So where is it going? Why: the end. But this is also where Gandolf says, “end?”

If you are being sincere, you can read a summary here and wade into the muck yourself. I can’t take much of it. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/21/curtis-yarvi...

I think you grossly misunderstand and misrepresented what I said. Bad form.

These are not the loving and empathetic acid heads you would believe they are. Those ones do not write angry half baked manifestos and try and take over the world and flex their power on everyone in their path. Usually they just realize the

What can he possibly be basing this on? Sounds like a faith to me. They are trying to manufacture a god for the rest

Yet somehow idolizes Mordor as simply technologically advanced whereas everything outside it is “mystical and environmental and nothing works”. This guy thinks nature doesn’t “work”

Seriously. Have these guys actually read history? The small patchwork of kingdoms were always redrawing their borders and sending people to fight over it. But back then the nobles and kings were expected to at least be present for the fight

They have spoken loudly about their intentions… Published them, even. Many times. Bloody held conferences about them.

You don’t need acid for that. Just imagination. That was my first entertainment as a child. But LSD and related psychedelics are uniquely able to help one reconnect with that part of themselves.

Natural order. We structure all of nature into kingdoms. They flower out from a core archetype. And it also helps project an inheritable identity. The problem above any American political and philosophical questions (moral questions notwith

This kind of thing should cause more to question when we title the monopolies in these fields an undeniable threat.

Is it really computing if you’re just using it like a pad of paper? Is it worth all the noxious process to manufacture it? I like a different tool as much as the next person, but I think before we jump to the most complicated to for the job

The dark ages is the plan according to Curtis Yarvin, their “prophet”. A network of techno-feudal states run by a joint-stock corporation headed by a CEO with absolute power. Like Hunger Games, fancy dress, bad tans, and all. It’s really la

Now you have also identified the driving force behind every expansionist attitude in history. Rome, British Empire, America (and many others besides) all usurped by an ideal that they are and must be the only true light of life and civiliza

Knowing which direction you are facing is an obsolete skill? I don’t think you’ve been paying attention. You’ve been watching too many Ted talks or something

Almost?

So… we put all of our trust (wait, at that point it might be called faith) into this machine… If it ever turns on us, begins to malfunction in unforeseen ways, or goes away completely—then what? Shortsighted, all of it.

What do you really need beyond that? Just double what you already have?

Because other Sv tech companies some us have worked for have been equally and intentionally shady

Sounds like you’re moving the goal posts here. You were proposing bioengineering another species of animal to limit its capacity for survival and cooperation in a complex ecosystem well beyond your capacity (or all of humanity’s capacity) o

Lol. If you call a segment of the merchant class (kind of like silicon valley) the entirety of the country and ethnic group. But that would be a major misunderstanding. So no.

These people are completely unreasonable. It’s actually getting harder and harder to even play devil’s advocate for the sake of ensuring we aren’t collectively ensnaring ourselves in destructive biases. They think everything worth knowing i

So much hubris. You think its about the tools? How can you say something like this as Meta steals 82gb of text from the worlds writers and producers of knowledge without compensation, on the sly, to build their system? Its the thieving and

I totally understand. And so many tech bros misunderstand. Its not a problem with the tools and its not the money. Artists have extensive experience going hungry. So have I. I doubt many tech bros and technocrats know what starving feels l

You should read about Curtis Yarvin and his influence and circles…

Figured someone would have to get specific. Lol. Have you read The Overstory? I recommend it, it’s a great modern novel. “What they do?”
