“She compares her work to the efforts of a parent raising a child. She’s training Claude to detect the difference between right and wrong while imbuing it with unique personality traits.”

as a former philosophy professor i am happy to echo this sentiment. i would generalize it to a caution against letting philosophers teach anyone how to be moral about anything

"Die For You" is really the standout on the album. It's Mori's best singing: a haunting, hushed playground of playful violence and push-pull tension set to a Yuki Tsujimura beat that mutates to forms fantastic and unsettling.
Those drunken horns at the 2:10 mark are genius.

Disasterpiece by Mori Calliope
The previously-released first 4 hit. Unfortunately, the succeeding 6 tracks are a bit underwhelming. If this were a 4 song EP, it would be a fantastic little showcase, but as an LP, it lacks consistency or anything surprising beat-wise or in Mori's performance.

Gonna be honest, it did feel a bit like I had been going crazy, especially since even before any of these revelations, a lot of career transphobes were quite openly pedophilic, Germaine Greer self-described as a pederast "like all women of taste", and yet nobody seemed to see the red flags.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

When your representative says "Don't talk to me about my own morality," I suggest talking to them about their own morality INCESSANTLY.
“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.
“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.
“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

High schoolers are walking out of class to protest ICE.
Wine moms are running the coffee station at outdoor at anti ICE protests in sub zero temps
White liberal men are outside with assault rifles guarding their neighborhoods from ICE
