It’s only about energy storage and will. We’ve had clean, safe nuclear designs for over half a century, it is purely greed that has deluded even many of those that claim to defend the environment that keeps us on the path to self annihilation.

Reminder that Chernobyl was doomed from the outset because it was made to serve two masters: power AND weapons grade enrichment.

Technology hasn’t been the bottleneck, greed has. I will never forget or forgive my species for priorities like these: Made solely to keep us addicted to the worst forms of power generation.

In philosophy, It’s a core concept called solipsism.

The encouraged answer to it is don’t think about it and best to move on, even within philosophy, because asking the questions that actually matter about the nature of the mind and existence, are a terrible drain on productivity and GDP, and those are most certainly real and totes important things that must exist 🤣

Ah yes solipsism, the principle that we cannot actually know… anything at all… beyond knowing that we ourself exist in some form because we are presently thinking about it, be it as an algorithm running in a simulation, or a brain in a jar being tortured with hallucinations on some 5th dimensional being’s shelf.

I remember chuckling to myself upon learning that the answer to this situation is just don’t think about it because it isn’t productive.

Problem with that is It seems like a perfectly rational argument against the pursuit of productivity.

Western psychology, and I say this as a former psychologist.

Like so much else, any potential at being a science was bastardized long ago in order to make it an industry focused on getting people productive again instead of focusing on their wellbeing which usually has an inverse relationship to getting them back to work in the short and medium term.

Meanwhile the small population of people that can afford actual psychoanalytic therapy that isn’t throwing pills at them and teaching them coping strategies within 3 covered sessions tend to be the reason so many others are miserable.

For the non-wealthy, mental healthcare in the US is a complete and utter scam that is geared to serve others at your expense and shoehorn you right back into the stressors that got you into therapy. If you need help, you’re out of luck.

Yeah that’s gonna be tricky with those. I live in Vegas where they’re already operating. No steering wheel at all.

Then you get to die alone eating cat food while the company you slaved for announces even more record profits and layoffs on the TV.

Thanks for all that can do attitude and work ethic as I drained the sum of your life force over decades, it was just enough to pay for the imported Himalayan granite galley counters on my backup mega yacht, sucker!!!

She donates her considerable money to anti trans causes.

Capital at scale is capable of far more damage than any other individual action can be.

A billionaire funding conservative aka cruel causes is being more effectively harmful than literally any serial killer in history, and depending on the cause, in some cases every serial killer in history put together.

A billionaire lobbying to maintain the American Healthcare system, aka our murder for profit confidence scheme industry, has a body count that would make Jackthe Ripper blush.

To be fair to serial killers though, their murders are artisinal and hand crafted, not mass produced.

Because even as the Earth burns and the Fascists march directly due to the capitalist’s class conquest, domination, and occupation, even many Americans who believe themselves to be politically leftwing think they can dunk on socialists and communists for their “silly” ideologies based in social cooperation and mutual social benefit where… Gasp… You can’t grind yourself to death under the toxic aspiration of attaining immoral levels of wealth to live larger than is reasonable within the finite shared habitat known as Earth.

They of course conveniently forget all the military actions the US has taken over the last century to destabilize nations that wanted to become such societies in order to keep their resource markets open to our capitalist’s exploitation.

Oh, and get ready for the hottest summer of your life… So far! 🔥🌎🔥

The Trump base will blame Obama/Biden/Clinton, I guarantee it.

It must be so freeing to live a life more divorced from logic or reality than an indoor dog.

Maybe eliminating natural selection was a mistake.

I’m all for ragging on the boomers for the shitstorm of cruelty, greed, and ignorance they’ve made.

But this is just another era’s assorted cables drawer. You might need to rig something 🤷

Both our parties worship at the alter of that bull.

The Republicans are fascists, but the Neoliberal Democrats, all Democrats save 2-5 spoiler the DNC hates more than Republicans, are fascist enablers that play pretend that funnelling the value of the nation’s labor to the top few percent somehow won’t lead to fascism.

Unrestrained capitalism will always lead to fascism.

We turned the bull loose as the slogan said.

What do bulls do to people?

Glad I went Emby.

The Matrix.

Pretty fucking screwed.

This country was destroyed under Reagan. We needed a national security strategy against the capitalists back then and instead invited them into the government.

This is just the fire sale, the vultures picking the well rotted corpse clean. Reagan and Welch destroyed this place, don’t give Trump that much credit. He’s just an opportunist who saw profit in chaos.

Enjoy the high latency.

Thank you! I try to, even though at the end of the day the best you can do is the show runner that signed off on it, as you’ll never really know who invented it in the writer’s room.
