Seems like OP is talking about the political views of tech oligarchs, not the rank and file in tech. Either way, it's a transparently delusional justification for tech moguls putting profits over people, then hypocritically pretending

This seems like a space ripe for intelligent robotics automation. Detailed, precise and laborious requiring years of not decades of technical expertise.

Turns out Nixon won the battle for an American dictatorship after all. Well played, Dick.

You seem to be under an assumption that unhoused people are making detailed plans to travel cross-country to do drugs in California. As opposed to the reality that most unhoused Americans migrate here because our laws and weather are a bit

I’m not impressed (or even tolerant) of unschooling without seeing how their uneducation is practically stacking up with their traditional peers. I was homeschooled for part of my education, and even with wealth, it’s easy to miss critical

The eternal problem with this idea the some people are smarter than others is that never finishes the statement *smarter at what?* An overly simplistic view of intelligence and human capabilities seems to think that you’re just “smart” or

I'm always amazed that Zoom was unable to secure a legendary win in tech given the circumstances they've benefitted from, particularly from the pandemic. Seems like they should be years ahead of their competition, and yet, they fu

Sanity and porn consumption are not intrinsically linked, if history is any guide.

The most deranged people should be in well regulated mental hospitals, not for profit prisons. It's insane to acknowledge that there are people too maladjusted to operate in society, then send them to the one place where you know they&

Considering who the Governor just pardoned, you don't need the other guy to be armed or threatening, just shoot and you're good.

Arguably Google has been taking your agency away and predicting your intent for the last decade at a minimum. The only difference here seems to be that you’re noticing it.

I’m not sure if you’re joking so forgive me if the sarcasm missed me, but there is a gargantuan body of work on this subject. It’s central to theories Marx developed and was expanded on by both his contemporaries and more modern scholars in

Only from the aggressors point of view. You get your nation’s technological foundations crippled or your financial institutions robbed, I’m betting which bureaucratic requisition form used to authorize it is inconsequential.

For context, a total of 69 journalists were killed in WWII, 63 in the Vietnam war both of which lasted several years. As of today March 6th 2024, the Gaza invasion has left 86 journalists dead in less than 4 months. That is an amazingly hig

I’m not sure being honest with children about something that impacts them so heavily is the wrong move here. Traumatized or not, I suspect teaching children about the problem in clear terms will lead to a better informed generation of scien

On its surface, your argument makes sense. However it ignores the real reasons that many of these places are abandoned in the first place: economic depression. Social and cultural value doesn’t often directly equate to economic value which

To be fair, you were likely already getting out competed by people with better connections or social skills anyway. Years in corporate leadership has cleansed me of the notion that merit is required to be a major factor in hiring decisions.

It is when systems are intentionally designed to be extremely low friction to initiate and extremely high friction to cancel. In a lot of cases that’s exactly what happens. To be fair, there should probably be a national consumer protection

I’ve worked with her directly and she’s a hell of a lot smarter than most executives I’ve ever had to deal with. You may not like her book, but there’s a lot of good reasons she has the complex and impressive legacy on tech that she has.
