i myself am not so fond of Crown Prince Stephen.

Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds… With you, it may take a bit longer.

doxxing is dickish, even of dicks.

if AI is so good and the US is the world leader, wouldn’t you expect us to act with more intelligence?

who do you have to kidnap to run Greenland?

“We have, in Western society, managed to simultaneously botch the dreams of democracy, capitalism, social coherence, and techno-utopianism, all at once. It's embarrassing actually. I am embarrassed. You should be embarrassed.” @apenwarr.ca https://apenwarr.ca/log/20211201

as i grow old, i live in fear of someone confronting me: “Have you no recency, sir, at long last, have you no recency?”

on the one hand it’s good to live a long full life but on the other hand the longer you are around the more the more is taken from you.

@Phil The best societies in the world use government more, not less. The Nordics, Japan. In general, growing scale and scope of are necessary (but very far from sufficient, lots of pathological cases for sure!) components of increases in civilization and general welfare.

@light in developing countries, for example, universal electrification has sometimes been a hard sell politically because the rich can afford generators, why should they accept taxation on behalf of the other 90%?

you don’t want a class of people who live by separate infrastructure. you want a public that broadly shares interests, which means preventing the richest from substituting unusual infrastructures that only they can afford in place more scalable, widely accessible goods.

@Phil government is the technology that makes civilized life possible. you see the bad reception on some channels without noticing the miracle of the TV.

@joXn often discomfort is good discomfort.
