When I first went to Berlin in ‘97, I found myself at a house party where the conversation turned to my being Jewish. The dude I was talking to became very sheepish and said I “must hate them.”

This concerned me, knowing how post WW1 ‘punishment’ of German people eventually gave rise to the Nazi’s
Elon Musk is telling Germany not to regret the murder of 6M+ Jews.
Holy f*ck! Just days after his Nazi salute seen around the world, Elon Musk is speaking at an AfD rally about “German pride”, warning against “multicultural delusion”, and telling them not to feel guilty about the “sins of their great grandparents”.

The first post on my Facebook feed just now was a 2022 post from Sven Vath excited to meet Elon Musk at the Tesla Gigafactory.

In case anyone was wondering if the fix was for all platforms.

In line with my End of Cultural History post, the Jaguar reboot has me thinking our species has truly run out of ideas.

30 years online, 100 years mass media and 300 years enlightenment, and we've hit the wall.

A million monkeys typing furiously and 'all' we can come up with is Shakespeare.

Hearing bad things about Gladiator 2.

Not saying successful age-gap sequels aren't possible (Fury Road, Blade Runner 2049), but there's some cultural law about how everything made post-2000 is contemporaneous, therefore lacking a sense of innovation on the one hand or nostalgia on the other.
