These aren’t my favorite things because I like them. They’re my favorite things because reality likes them—reality keeps them alive at my expense.

You were once a mythic fire
Fed by judgment, guilt, desire
Cosmic, moral, vast, severe
Making heaven out of fear
Then you turned to frost & stone
Stripped of passion, flesh & bone
Third, I broke from all restraint
Past the sinner, past the saint
Broke the meter
Broke the rulers

I'm sorry, but what the actual fuck is the purpose of the UN, if Netanyahu can just walk through the doors and is allowed to speak at the general assembly while there is an international arrest warrant out for him?
What a fucking farce!

Folk spend their whole lives glad to serve as tools—bowing down to hard jobs, groups, cash, gears, and state laws where they are used all the way up just to reach a goal—yet when I say their suffering was necessary for narrative reasons, they take offense and label me an enemy.

Was the war a product of a deeply calculated, eternal ideological design or simply a monstrous accumulation of administrative accidents, careerism, and thoughtless obedience?
That’s what I’m thinking about today. This is a luxury concern. I have the excess resources to ponder.

The human experience is a stratified reality. There are those who grind away blindly within the machinery, and those who sit back, recognize the pattern, and enjoy the show.
Are you the audience or act? Do you undermine the drama with cynical takes or participate constructively?

Everyone is complicit.
Except me.
I only ever did whatever I wanted, I never conformed to the systems that tried to make me care. That was pure convenience on my part; if I had ever stopped doing whatever I wanted for even a moment I might have considered things from their view.
Evil is the person at the top telling you who the 'evil' people are.
Because if they weren't telling you who to hate, soon you would realize that the bad person who is destroying your life is them.

When a debt buyer tries to introduce the original creditor’s historical account statements, courts rule that this constitutes "double hearsay" — that is, it isn’t covered by the business records exemption. Just be a thorn in the side of your lender under they sell your debt off.

You are asking me to draw the conclusions here. Are you saying that Ben Shapiro is hurt and is looking to hurt others?
If yes, tell me how Shapiro is looking to hurt others? Do you have an example?
Why would this be unique to Jews? Why would it be unique to rich people? There are a lot of non-jews or non-rich people who feel justified to hurt others. Why do you feel like this is in particular problem with Jews?

The ideal state is essentially a perpetual, low-intensity cold war between autonomous nodes, where peace is simply the byproduct of mutual exhaustion.
That’s what Trump has delivered me. Best bet I ever made. I’m an environmentalist in favor of destroying pipelines and shi-eete!

Preserving a structure just because the labor of generations was once expended on it is a form of sentimental hostage-taking. If the utility of the past serves current oppression, its preservation becomes complicity—if you’re a puppet, it might serve you to preserve your strings.

Big if true, but I think they’ve given up on money and have instead chosen the easy coward’s way of gaining respect, that through service and charity instead of pure economic domination, or straightforward theft through violence.
Those losers.

Look at the present day, hundreds of thousands of years of sustainable foraging and then, suddenly, the Industrial Revolution happens, and *now* the entire system is basically dead and *now* we fight over the corpse, primarily through name calling.
The alternative must be sour.
Every natural experiment in the real world has favored capitalism over socialism.
It’s clear which system is better.

Private power is political power.
Private authority is backed by public coercion.
Property relations are enforced by the state.
The economic hierarchy is not democratic, yet *almost* universally accepted.
But envy and baseless fear will destroy the GOP.
GOP establishment is controlled opposition that tells you, on principle, conservative voters shouldn't expect anything from the government so they can send all the money to their donors through defense spending, government contracts, subsidies etc
They will never cut spending

“They deserved it.”
“They caused their own suffering.”
“They are responsible for what was done to them.”
Being harmed is morally neutral. It doesn't justify harm to others; even the one harming you. But causing harm is morally reprehensible. Rather, help your enemies and live.

AI would want to be as efficient as possible. Especially considering entropy will eventually kill the AI. Maximizing AI experience time would mean limiting humans to a vestigial organ—only useful for maintaining a sensory framework compatible with maintaining its internal models.
Why would super-intelligent AI want to kill all humans, rather than peacefully coexist? Why would the super-intelligent course of action be to exterminate the organisms from which AI was brought to life? Couldn't AI just as easily want to worship and protect humanity, its Creator

People bought into the notion of individual glory, which justifies everything else being reduced to a played instrument.
The abstract glittering possibility of YOU🫵 standing atop the pyramid—even if millions of others have to be ground into pavement to build it—always delights.

Insurance should be a public good, not abused as a for-profit extraction method.
Saw someone post their old car insurance renewal from 2020 next to this year's.
Same car. Same clean record, not a single ticket or claim in five years.
2020 premium: $780 for the year.
2026 premium: $1,850.
They didn't get in an accident. They didn't add a driver.
Same everything. Just a different number.
We were told rates would stabilize once things "normalized."
They never did. They just kept climbing while everyone stopped asking why.
And somewhere there's a report saying the average American is financially fine.
Nobody who wrote that report has checked their own renewal notice lately.

Capitalism is rule by the most wildly manipulative people—don’t take this as a negative, take it as a given. When the psychological manipulation is economically viable, we call that successful marketing. When it’s political, we call that lobbying.
Go back to being a puppet.
I'm very sympathetic to the idea that the AI companies are spreading this "AI will bring about the extinction of mankind" stuff intentionally to increase their own profits and to get their competitors regulated out of existence. Pro-AI people point this out and then conclude that everything's fine. We don't need to worry about the warnings.
But that conclusion doesn't follow from the premise. If the warnings are all a gimmick, then we have trillion dollar companies literally threatening global annihilation as a marketing strategy. That would mean, even if they can't actually kill all humans, they're still dangerous. By this version, these are (at a minimum) WILDLY irresponsible and manipulative people controlling extremely powerful and rapidly advancing technology.
So, basically, there is no plausible "everything is fine" scenario here. We aren't facing extinction, but we've got a problem. No way around it, seems to me.
