Seascape showing a beach, dunes, sea, and a cloudy sky. The sun is breaking through the clouds, lighting up the beach where two people are walking side-by-side.

Pottery.
A shelf with traditional storage pottery in white with blue text labelled “Crystal Meth”, “Ectasy”, “Peyote”, “Cocaine”, and “Ketamine”. On the shelves above there’s also a vase labelled “Doe lekker zelf normaal!”

Do these active energy amounts seem reasonable? My family members keep saying they’re too high and my watch must be broken. (Male, 189 cm, 78 kg)

One of the kids doesn’t like their tofu fried so we had to split up the sauce. Not looking forward to doing the dishes.
Messy camping stove too with two pots with sauce bubbling and a shitty frying pan used to heat nan.

Continued.
Unconfronted, this kind of negation will not remain confined to widgets or labor or even the economic world. When the bigger wildfires come — as they already have — the industries whose callous disregard helped bring this about will depend on our ever-growing tolerance for calamity. When climate change upends the lives of billions, our governments will depend on our ever growing tolerance for violence against the hordes of nameless others to enact its cruelest, most violent fortressing. In time, negation becomes all there is. To walk away from this system is to speak the only language the system will ever understand.

Whatever late capitalism is, it seems to be careening into this embrace of growth by negation. Through that prism, it's hard not to see the advances in something like artificial intelligence less driven by technological breakthroughs as by a society that has, over years, over decades, become normalized to a greater and greater magnitude of both loneliness and theft, such that a sputtering algorithm badly trained on the stolen work of real human beings might be celebrated with a straight face as something approximating humanness. Under this ordering, it is not some corporation's increasing capacity for better that drives the extractive world, but everyone else's increasing tolerance for worse.
