Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The whole point of paying taxes is that the money will help you! Yet effectively it's being used as a personal account for a bunch of horrible billionaires!

Summers helped build the system that led to the 2008 crash and had ties to Epstein. He’s not alone at Harvard—Pinker even aided Epstein’s defense. Hard to see ethics there; these “elites” seem to reward the worst behavior.

Also, I've heard The Man With a Thousand Names has gone silent yet again? What's that about?
Why isn't the VP out defending the Dear Leader of the Cult?
Is it because he knows it's true and is waiting for Dear Leader to get taken down so he can replace him?
Or are there maybe even worse motivations?

The German school system enables structural racism because 50% to 70% of assessment is based on classroom participation, an entirely subjective measure that research has shown to be unreliable and impossible to grade fairly, giving teachers enormous power over who moves up and who gets left behind.

More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.
There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders.
The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it.
This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.
Why is no one talking about this?

When everything mediated by screens and signals becomes uncertain, embodied presence remains the last reliable interface with truth. Smell, touch, proximity — they can’t yet be convincingly faked at scale. That’s why human-to-human contact still carries epistemic authority.

If me of all people ever uses such terms about someone's mental health,
they need a long stay in a secure psychiatric ward.
I'm quite agog at the state of the world we've built for ourself.

Zuckerberg and Chan are pouring billions into AI-powered biology — building “virtual cells” to merge human biology with their tech. They call it philanthropy, but since it’s tax-deductible, you’re covering up to 70% of the bill.

Remember the guy whose own research showed his platform was harming teenage girls —but he hid it and did nothing?Now he wants to be the future of health.The same clique that mocked the Pope for calling for moral discernment in AI now wants to fuse you with their machines —all under “philanthropy.”
