"every class which has sought to take power has prepared itself for power by an autonomous education. The first step in emancipating oneself from political and social slavery is that of freeing the mind." – Antonio Gramsci

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
― Antonio Gramsci (loose translation)

I'm excited to see the new world born, but very apprehensive. Not sure that we will birth it safely.

@worldzonfire Why does Forestry Corp. get away with measly fines for illegal logging yet people protecting our public native forests get heavy fines for trying to stop illegal logging?

As one would expect.

I made a survey based on all of yesterday's responses to dating app deal-breakers. Please take a moment to take it and please RT for a good sample:

Instead of people wearing crappy cloth and surgical masks as a talisman.

i saw a tiktok about the love is blind season 4 finale and this lady literally said “stop the CONSPIRACY THEORY that Zack is neurodivergent” and then went on to criticize him for only being able to talk about three topics & not noticing when other people want him to stop talking

Thank you @nickgraynews! Received your book ❤️. Looks fantastic (readable, fun, nicely laid out, clear steps) and I look forward to reading it.

And I'll pass it on to @zetalyrae.

It's a shame that Twitter is both the best way to keep up with important breakthroughs in technology and the mental equivalent of doing meth.

Why were GMU economists, Reason editors, LessWrong rationalists, EAs, and VC/tech-types better, on average, at reasoning about covid & covid response than the FDA/CDC and epidemiologists?

General, careful reasoning ability is what’s really rare and precious. twitter.com/growing_daniel/sta

@Ame0baRepublic @TRAExecutive Knew a schizophrenic guy some years back. He told me about hearing people's "dark whispers", letting him know what they were feeling or thinking. He then told me that my dark whispers were the only ones he never heard.

I've thought about this a lot since learning I'm autistic.

After a week walking through Switzerland with (mostly) middle-aged ladies, my main conclusion is that if they committed 1/10th of their efforts avoiding plastic packaging towards getting our financial system to divest fossil fuels ... we'd have abolished fossil capitalism by now.

So, why isn't everyone talking about how tech executives should be banned from public restrooms and from receiving healthcare? twitter.com/MattBinder/status/

I worried a lot about AI, until I realized it's kinda like this pebble I have lying in my backyard. The pebble has never done anything to hurt me, and thus AI won't either.
