Once you see it it becomes impossible not to notice the media consent-manufacutring machine that responds to literally every social crisis with the diagnosis that "women too free."
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

I believe that, in no uncertain terms, A.I. as we know it today is a technology designed explicitly to destroy consensus reality, undermine human labor, and estrange its users from other human beings and ultimately themselves.

Horrible news to hear about Rob Reiner. Some movies I love, but I want to call attention to what a important team player he was on All of the Family. A favorite moment in one of my favorite episodes is when he gently talks Edith back into the possibility of belief. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGM7...

"I am so tired of the quiet."
We live in a culture where it is far more dangerous to say what a man did to you than for the man to actually do the thing to you. And that is because of all the people who know without actually knowing…That silence is its own kind of sexualized violence. www.ms.now/opinion/jeff...

The way the word elites has become devoid of all meaning is interesting. It’s a placeholder for “someone I don’t like” and it fascinates me that the people who use it most are wealthy, went to “elite” schools and hold positions of power. Look in the damn mirror. You’re talking about yourself.

How, I really do wonder, do you "do science" without actually reading the existing scholarship? What has really struck me since the gAI boom is how many people have such a profound contempt for the act of reading--or at the least seem not to understand that reading is thinking.

apart from the sheer inconceivable horror of the El Fasher massacre and its attendant horrors itself, the thing I'm feeling depressed about is that it probably won't matter.

So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified
