The lesson I have learned over the last 10 years more than any other: Hatred and bigotry and greed are the flames of fascism, but its kindling are people who claim to be well-meaning, yet diagnose our problem as "polarization" without giving thought to the causes over which we are polarized.

The thing about the relentless march of time is that you only get an ending (happy or otherwise) in fiction. Here in the real world no cause is ever lost forever even though we may not live to see it prevail. This is both hope and cautionary tale.
"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

The only political split that matters - feed everyone on the off chance one person is hungry, or feed no one on the off chance someone undeserving might get fed

I feel like it’s hard to have discussions on AI because very reasonable positions are being treated like they’re saying “all AI bad, good AI impossible.”
But we cannot have a reasonable discussion of AI without talking about who is making it and how.

Really great article on the history of the HBC. I’m glad to hear the archives will still be funded despite The Company’s demise. I enjoyed my visit there last Summer and hope that future generations will be able to research their ancestors who worked for the HBC as I have been able to.
