Struggle is not the goal.
It’s the method.
To get free.
Too many people imagine struggle is the goal, so any acts of worldbuilding that prefigure freedom are dismissed as incidental, as distractions.

🔊Co-authored a new op-ed w/ Leah Goodridge about a California clinic using AI to generate diagnoses for unhoused & low-income patients, with the goal of "pulling the doctor out of the visit."
This is a two-tier care system, and communities should decide if, how, and when AI enters their care.

There’s absolutely nothing to debate.
Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

The governor promised a crackdown on crime. But in the first year of the surge, state troopers arrested very few violent criminals. Instead they stopped 15,000 Black and Latino drivers.
