There are so many people on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram that simply read from AI-generated scripts and pass it off as their own insight and knowledge. Social media is all a performance. Fuck them.

“[Hegel] was disappointed by some professors’ hostility toward philosophy and by the students’ purely vocational attitude toward learning.”
Same, too many kids only go to college to get a good job and have no real love of learning.

Many people on the internet (read: Reddit) repeat the same boring quip that “Idiocracy is a documentary.” Elysium is a better film that is, as many writers love to say, prescient.

I’ve always found paying for public transportation to be weird. Not a fan of the car-centrism of the U.S. We really need to implement fare-free public transit.

Reading a bunch of books this year has really solidified for me how awful the internet is in comparison nowadays. Obviously in terms of general hostility but more generally in terms of lack of depth, insight, reading comprehension, base of knowledge, etc

I got a job offer but I can already tell the manager is a manipulative narcissist. No thanks. I refuse to sacrifice my time and peace for a paycheck.

Looking at the California 2026 ballot propositions, it seems Carl DeMaio is both racist and a sore loser.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.
