  • When life gives you lemons immediately take note as you may be stuck in a computer simulation, lemons are not naturally occuring and thus life has no lemons to give you, do not be fooled by the illusion your captors erected to keep you stuck in a computer simulation and harvest your brain waves for mining cryptocurrency.

    People of Earth, your attention, please. As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system. And regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition.

    The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.

    The problem is not and has not been science. The problem is messaging.

    Yes, but the actual factor driving this is the meteoric rise of the top 1% richest, it is wealth inequality that creates a coherence to misinformation by establishing systematic incentives. There have always been nebulous, destructive, cancer like forces of misinformation, it is as human as human can be but we aren’t really fighting to transcend the pitfalls our own nature, we are fighting to get on the same page about the rich fucking us all over by artificially supercharging these tendencies within us for their own gain.

    It is irrational to just see this as an abstract conversation about the human brain’s susceptibility to misinformation as it ignores the costly material operation being undertaken to manipulate us with said misinformation.



  • I mean damn I would be so fucking mad if I put my life on the line to protect freedom and a possibility for people in this country to pursue the american dream and now gestures to the dumpsterfire that is the US.

    I am already mad, I am mad for these vets just thinking about it, I have talked to so many vets that really would have given their life to an idea, to a social contract and pact to make things better for everybody, no matter their politics the conviction was as real as anything, I can’t imagine how mad I would be if I had actually served myself and put my ass on the line as one of those people… so I try to remind myself of that periodically to stoke my engine.
