#EatTheRich? You’ll never be sated.

You can’t fight evil ideas by pointing at evil people. They don’t care.

And you can’t fight for good ideas without establishing their worth.

This only works on those who haven’t given up on reason. Anyone who surrenders to irrationality or emotional whim is unreachable.

Most people are driven by #altruism, believing that service to others is the only acceptable #morality. The world around them reinforces this so strongly that #selfishness is justified or offset by sacrifices disguised as mere “ #kindness. “

I’d rather trade values than compete for “best servant.”

The charming aspect of #Christmas is the fact that it expresses good will in a cheerful, happy, benevolent, non-sacrificial way… And the good will is expressed in a material, earthly form—by giving presents to one’s friends, or by sending them cards in token remembrance…”

Not nearly as low as my #Slashdot ID (2899), but I don’t think they had a FOMO-limiting invitation queue back then

How does anyone treat generative #AI and #MachineLearning on unlicensed and uncompensated work as anything other than theft?

How does anyone treat the companies selling access as anything other than thieves and fences?

How do users absolve themselves of guilt from profiting from these pickpockets?

My wife and I are selling her handmade crafts at the #Brenham, Texas, #FireDepartment community #GarageSale. This crocheted bird with the patriotic hat has been dubbed “the Polichicken.” 🐔🇺🇸

The pittances paid to librarians and teachers aren’t worth their cognition and ability to discern good sources from bad.

Much better to spend billions license-washing the statistical mode of the Internet’s Eternal September, remixed with glorified Markov chains absent of words indicating doubt.

Anti-capitalists hurl the phrase “malicious compliance” at companies such as #Apple, #Google, and #Meta regarding laws like the #DigitalMarketsAct: ec.europa.eu/info/digital...

The correct term is #MaliciousRegulation, directed at bodies like the #EuropeanCommission and the #EuropeanParliament.
