Pro-civilian, curious, multi-versed, and prose-bound too. A teacher of languages and psychology navigating this chaosmos. Writing on control, collapse, and what gets erased when we call it “progress.” Humane, not a bot.
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.

The Nazi regime made grand promises of progress:industry, technology,”national renewal.”They took massive public funds upfront, wrapped it all in propaganda,and like Musk, rarely delivered.

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.”

The EPA’s “solution” wasn’t to tighten oversight — it was to create a new Protective Action Guide for radionuclides in drinking water, allowing concentrations hundreds or even thousands of times higher than before, as long as it’s called an “emergency. Is this a solution?

Marc Andreessen mocking the Pope—the spiritual leader of over1B people—for saying AI should have moral discernment says everything about Silicon Valley,the machines you’re using,and why you shouldn’t trust them. They mock morality yet expect you to hand them your data, health, government, and mind.

Incredible. The billionaires are emailing each other trying to understand why Millennials don’t love capitalism — like it’s a mystery that can be solved with a spreadsheet. When the guy ranting about the Antichrist is the reasonable one in the room, you know the system’s cooked.

Impossible to disagree with @bennorton.com on this one. Tesla handed Musk a $1 trillion stock award on $7 billion profit.
I no longer see it as capitalism; it’s legalized corruption. Where does the money come from?
From us — tax breaks, subsidies, public infrastructure and specu

They say AI will bring Earth back to homeostasis — the same fantasy once pushed in elite “science-for-humanity” circles linked to Epstein’s network. Do you really think Epstein cared about humanity? If the technosphere caused the imbalance, can its expansion be the cure?

Detail: insulin was discovered and developed entirely through publicly funded research. It was public science, not a private-sector innovation
Ironically, over time insulin became heavily commercialized, and today a few corporations control much of the global supply.

That’s the illusion — Musk did take from the system. His empire runs on subsidies, government contracts, and taxpayer-built infrastructure. “Built what the system couldn’t” really means built with its resources for private gain. And who rigs the rules? The same billionaires who claim they beat it.

The great, visionary, and intellectual David Bowie warned back in 2002 about two rising forces in America: a culture where “dumb is cool” and the “America First” mindset. Together, they became the perfect storm that would one day make Trump possible.

Debating CO₂ has become a battle of industry loyalties—Oil vs Renewables—rather than true care for the planet.
The real crisis goes beyond carbon: collapsing ecosystems, poisoned soil, vanishing water. Carbon mitigation targets climate stability, but climate stability follows planetary stability.

Myth #4. “Wealth trickles down.”
Reality: After half a century of this experiment, the wealth didn’t trickle down — it flowed upward. Inequality widened while workers’ share of prosperity collapsed.
