I'm a human being, god damn it. My life has value.

  • Curse of eloquence. I always know how to phrase things trenchantly, but I'm deeply ineffectual

  • Everyone related to that.

  • Where do you draw the line between "staying informed" and avoiding all the stress in the news?

    Jump

  • Damn. You know your stuff well enough that I'm not going to waste your time doing a bit. It was probably funnier in my head anyway.

  • I hear tor has backdoors. You've got to go deeper than that to beat the panopticon.

  • I meant to write optimal, sorry.

    The problem with trying to sway the GOP is that right now each one of them is about as charming as a poultry farm, and you need some charisma to build an oppositional faction within the party. If you were talking about a Schwarzenegger-led "normalcy" caucus we'd be cooking, but the current rogue's gallery is as dull as dishwater and half as palatable.

  • I grew up on Sagan. I'm not saying we should accept anything the way it is or not take inspiration from our achievements, just that we should not be prideful or expect any greatness from anyone.

    We're currently smarter than we've ever been in a lot of ways, but I find the smarter you are it only changes the kinds of mistakes you make.

    I do agree that humans increase in value the more you value them, and vice-versa. Society should be structured around maximising "human capital", so to speak.

  • I had a hard time staying sane trying to see them as actual American politicians. When you let yourself see them as fifth columnists hell-bent on ending America, reality starts to feel way more coherent.
