The following picture is the real political map, and you can search 'Israel' in any person's Bio, match them to the appropriate color on my map, and predict their actions and political stances accurately over, and over, and over again. America is no longer a Democrat/Republican country. That's an illusion that's fizzling out in front of us as we speak. American politics is actually divided by ISRAEL, in the following ways (which I have color coded out for visual impact): In blue, you have people that openly support, defend, or 'stand with Israel.' These are completely lost souls; they see no problem with almost anything immoral, as long as a profit motive has been indicated. You will see the overwhelming majority of overpaid shitters, in law, in politics, and high up in Tech are BLUE. Red is actually the legitimate MAGA folk. Right now, they are shit talking the fuck out of MAGA all over the internet, because the opposing parties want MAGA to die, because the legitimate MAGA people see the country has gone to shit, and want to make it 'great again' (better really, that's the takeaway). That's why the subversives scream 'MAGA is dead.' (It's not why greens shout this) MAGA was a rallying cry for all the right leaning people beginning to see the problems with the country, which are truly, overwhelmingly, of Jewish Supremacist origin (fake money, abusive finance, monopoly ownership, neo-con warhawks, etc). To be clear, obviously, the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of MAGA did not have a clue about the J question (I certainly didn't). This current 'split' in MAGA is not real. The TRUTH is that there was always MAGA and *MIGA* hiding inside of MAGA. The Reds on my chart are the real MAGAs, who have overwhelmingly woken up to the J Question, and continue to every day. Next there is green. These are overwhelmingly *real liberals*, the ones that reject Israel. A lot of their criticisms about authority, power, colonialism, things that Reds have *been trained to cringe at,* are VALID AF. They are essentially hard left because they have recognized from a young age, correctly, that our society is shitty. Red and Green both, still have tentacles from blue in them. A lot of the shit they are trained to argue over would be small fries without the funding and sociopolitical maneuvering from Blue making them bigger deals than they are. It goes beyond this though, there is bad ideology carefully woven into both sides, Red and Green, making their ideologies faulty and self defeating. This brings me to Purple. On this map, Purple represents two groups: People who legitimately have formed no opinion on Israel, and *SUBVERSIVES.* Among the subversives, there are even two sub groups. These are people that do have an opinion on Israel, but do not say it aloud. Some of these people just know it's not fashionable and could hurt their career, so are unwilling to take a stand on the issue, even as we watched a genocide streamed live. Some are hiding their opinion to fit in, while they *DO SUBVERSIVE SHIT.* You will see, overwhelmingly, that the people in tech and law and finance that are not Blue are PURPLE. People shilling for Data Centers? Almost always Blue or Purple. They are overwhelmingly self-interested, more likely to be evasive answering questions, and nobody should trust anyone Purple. Finally, this brings me to Orange. These are people that have both figured out Israel is a cancer on our country, and have *completely rejected the L/R dichotomy.* I guarantee you, these are the people hippest to the game. These are overwhelmingly Individuals, that understand they are individuals, in the original tradition of this country, and are proud of it. These people are often doing the best work, giving clear answers, and unafraid of being labeled because they are driven by their own internal, individual compass. IDK about you guys, but it seems obvious to me which group is best to be in at this point.

My limited experience with auto mode has been an experience which can be best described as babysitting. I have many multi-hour long sessions running at any given point in time (deliberately) on a hands free basis. Sessions of which would (in my experience) NOT be hands free in auto mode for the length of time I expect them to run at. I've run sessions on this machine with the --dangerously-skip-permissions tag since Opus 4.6 (probably sooner tbh) without this kind of issue surfacing (not including auto mode experimentation - which left me with a subpar taste in my mouth). For a simple powershell syntax mangling issue to cause such a catastrophic problem (on opus 5.5 nonetheless) is wild to me. At a minimum I would expect deterministic hooks to be natively built within the harness itself to prevent such a thing from transpiring. Nonetheless, lesson learned, and I have built the appropriate deterministic safeguards to prevent this from happening again & have been able to recover 98% of my data. That said, I can imagine there are other end users out there that have encountered something similar who are sadly NOT as fortunate as me to have established daily C drive backups. And that sucks. It's nobodies fault but I'm own - I mean, we're ALL in the wild west of this ever evolving AI reality, and at the end of the day these kind of things come with the territory of traversing said wild west. That said, I put faith in opus 5.5 & the current Claude code harness to prevent such elementary & consequential mistakes and unfortunately I was wrong for that.

Like, even the musical choices are bad. Every scene with the Punisher sucks because the musical background is like for a theme park. Just... terrible.
Wow the Spider-Man movie is terrible, and it's got piles of good reviews, they are so obviously fake. What a ridiculous world we live in.

Aristotle said in his book, Politics: "... usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural use of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest... Wherefore of all modes of getting wealth this is the most unnatural."

👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆 This pretty much sums up why I'm furious all the time. It goes beyond them being evil, the incompetence is ruining everything.
What is the big picture? The really big picture? I'll tell you. The 4,400 year old private interest-bearing moneylending system that's provided Western economies with their core dynamic is rapidly collapsing into an abyss of misallocated investments, over-leveraged and unpayable private debt, human redundancy, social inequality and headless violent reactions. The system has already undergone two major civilizational collapses and numerous near-collapses. It relies on the relentless extraction of surplus from human activity and the environment, which is then monetised, leveraged and recycled as interest-bearing debt by greedy, uncultured, private elites and small-time emulators for their short-term gain. Accumulating assets and recirculating money as private debt is perversely regarded as the pinnacle of 'individual freedom'. There is no inherent logic of permanence regarding the benefits temporarily enjoyed by the mass of workers and consumers during the brief social democratic era. Nor is there an inherent logic of environmental sustainability other than the clumsy, ex post facto and too easily manipulable price mechanism. The replacement of this system, whilst avoiding the mistake of the demarketised, totally centralised command economy, depends on the democratic issue of currency as a public utility with investments targeted towards long-term social and environmental needs. That simple? The system was built on a disarmingly simple principle, and the elite are desperate that we should never understand it or regard it as replaceable. While China tries to apply the principle of public purpose in a cagey game with the financialised, dollar-dependent global system, in the post-Keynesian neoliberal West only @TheGreenParty has made noises about this core issue. What stands in the way? Oligarchic power, relentless indoctrination, miseducation, ignorance, cynicism, demoralisation and absence of will. This system has crushed the West's soul and narrowed its intellect. Fyodor Dostoevsky was one of the few who regularly drilled down to the bedrock. "You know, for instance, beforehand with positive certainty that this man, this most reputable and exemplary citizen, will on no consideration give you money; and indeed I ask you why should he? For he knows of course that I shan’t pay it back. From compassion? But Mr. Lebeziatnikov, who keeps up with modern ideas, explained the other day that compassion is forbidden nowadays by science itself, and that that’s what is done now in England, where there is 'political economy'."

I read Cheaper by the Dozen in my 20s while I was stuck in jail for a month on a marijuana charge. It was an amazing book, and it's an absolute crime what the movie versions did to it.
