You could get humanity to travel much further, if you could create artificial reproduction and send out a pod, that only activates under certain circumstances, however… the children of the pod wouldn’t have any parents and there’s a mountain of ethical issues that cannot be easily solved.

Who could have seen this coming.

He describes it as useful for quickly accessing scholarly papers, and—more troublingly—for giving himself frequent hits of “dopamine,” …

Yeah it’s this again, people hype up this technology for how fast and efficient it is. Speed and efficiency is completely irrelevant if there’s no substance, anyone who builds their identity around extracting the labor of others is stuck in a colonialist cuck mentality.

I have had this theory that these Chud adjacent groups is how they’re able to launch internal terror campaigns inside Russia.

Woke serves as the main distraction because they start assuming it’s got to be them, even though those people are almost all progressive libs. Kind of shows how they really still don’t seem to grasp the nature of imperialism and believe this western superiority fantasy, that everyone can somehow return to. Nah that ship’s sunk and we’re all gonna have to recon with the fact that we’ve been played like a damn fiddle.

But people don’t understand what’s happening, because there’s like negative class consciousness in the air and we’re so heavily propagandized.

There’s a lot of things that you don’t get shown visual evidence for because it’s difficult to share, not because it’s not out there.

I’m also struggling with organizing and I’m just gonna be honest that I am the problem. I am not built to withstand the pressure, of what would happen, if I did what I am supposed to - openly criticize the whole group precisely where I think they’re mismanaging and then see what the response is, it’s entirely possible there’s something I am missing and my idea is bad.

That doesn’t mean I have to give up. I know I am not built to be a leader, but it doesn’t mean there is nothing I can do. I try to help in ways that i can and maybe there’s eventually going to be a group that can absorb me, the more the Imperial power dwindles, the higher the chance there is going to be a group that shows up.

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of great man theory, when you’re surrounded by Imperialist Culture. Even someone like Fidel Castro is just a human being and spent most of his life on boring, mundanely frustrating, absolutely irritating tasks.

Everybody is born with different set of cards and we shouldn’t judge people based on the number, it’s how they chose to use what they were dealt.

I really want to see what goes on in the minds of American troops, it would be really convenient if someone leaked that chat of whatever they’re saying.

There’s an anti-fascist group I’ve been curious about, but there’s some things that I’m skeptical about and it’s causing reluctance. At the same time they’re skeptical of me, refusing to accommodate a surface level discussion… regarding any potential shared goals. And the thing is their point of view is justified in many regards I will not deny that.

It’s bene kind of depressing being usable to find more ways to contribute, but maybe I should stop being that harsh on myself and try to find a place that I can involve myself with.

I don’t think there’s any bad actors at plat here, there’s nothing that important about me, they most likely just saw someone they can’t assist and circumstances force them to prioritize other things. In this situation you just move on. I don’t think there’s a way to turn it around now that I’ve spoiled the 1st impression anyway, so I’m just moving on.

Okay so this is very important thing we need to do, unfortunately I can’t make it to the thing… I must do something very important, you and everyone else go do the thing.

We’ll re-group after

The character has a healthy relationship with his family, then their nephew has to move in due to <insert circumstances> and Nephew so talented it overshadows Character, it’s not like the family starts to be dismissive, they still care about each other, but now Nephew gets all the spotlight. You’d expect the Character to get jealous, but they actually become friends and Nephew offers to serve as a mentor, however the Character is like really bad at learning, hurting themselves in the process, this gets the family worried and they ask Nephew to stop it, which is quite severe psychic damage all things considered. After making a recovery Character decides to lay down and accept being mediocre, they get occasional encouragement to keep on, but none of it prevents them from the depressive slumber, years pass and the nephew eventually leaves, things go back to the way they used to?

Europeans are terrorizing themselves.

You don’t understand! If you press that button every house turns into a gray box! And everybody has to wear the same clothes and drink the same tap water!

Step 1(1): Cause instability in the region and create suffering. Step 1(2): Prevent/Destroy the formation of socialist organizations.
Step 2: Bankroll the neoliberal institutions with the promise of freedom and democracy.

• If the state targets your allies - you have successfully created facts on the grounds to accuse your opponent with interference in Democracy.
• if the state doesn’t target your allies - you can eventually have them revolt and overthrow the “Regime”.

Regardless of the path you took, now that you are in charge, get the actors to privatize the property. It is very important that you do not uphold your end of the bargain and let the country plummet into despair, this maximized good citizens economic activity.

• Good citizens care about winning no matter what, they hustle for the love of winning. Naturally this is the cream of society.
• Bad citizens are infected with empathy virus and care about other human beings, sometimes at the cost of profit, can you imagine? This is why they lose, lose, lose.

By restructuring the society to benefit the good citizens you’ll make sure the most pragmatic human beings, who will do anything for the sake of, power get in power. At the same time the most compassionate people will be forced to work for you at maximum profitability rates.

P.S: You want to make sure to instill false consciousness into people through the education programs, it helps them wonder cluelessly around a maze for much longer. The more paths the better.

You can see Christian is one of the many happy participants who brought freedom to his country. After the fall of GDR Germany became free to do whatever it wants, you can tell by simply glancing over, what is going on in Germany? Nobody knows, there’s no plan. Freedom.

It’s not as if it would be challenging to pivot into more serious adult-like art. At the same time I don’t get what’s the point. I thought the whole reason art was appealing was that someone spent their limited lifetime on communicating care towards a subject. Now it seems like the purpose people assign art is - to get the desired emotional response - from their target demographic, to manipulate them into a plan of action.

Almost everyone and everything around me seems desperate to extract something from another. Who builds all that bank of knowledge, who lays down the payment, who does the research? Where does political power come from? I’m supposed to just ignore that, well whatever, it doesn’t really matter and just in case anyone thought I was talking about them I’m not. I’m talkin about people irl.

I think you would benefit a lot if you learned how to communicate with human beings, instead of treating them like a chatbot that needs to be prompted into action.

You already know you are interacting with reactionaries, by your own admission, so why start the discussion in a way that you know is going to irritate the very people you’re here trying to lecture?

Are you doing it because you can’t offer any appealing plan on how to use this technology, why don’t you spend your time organizing a movement for your AI revolution with easy to follow steps and then try to onboard members to your cause? It would be a lot more productive than whatever you’re attempting to do here.

If we can achieve communism we might be able to interact with aliens someday, if we don’t then we’re gonna turn into another dead region of the universe.

Probably something akin to this.

Connections or failure isn’t really accessible in large parts of the world. It doesn’t help that there’s the occasional story of an orphan who lost his entire family and his uncle turned out to be Satan himself, he had to walk 20 kilometers to school and survive with no electricity for years, yet despite all that he managed to become a millionaire, all by himself, so anyone can!

So it makes a lot of sense to me why a lot of people are turning for AI. How many people actually want to interact with maladaptive individuals? That’s the job of a therapist and they’re not really accessible, as I mentioned earlier. If someone can’t access treatment chances are they’ll make a lot of mistakes and those mistakes will define them, because that’s what people are. Most people will see you as the person they got to know you as, no matter how much you change. If they got to know you as someone unappealing the ship is sailed. Changing communities is often inaccessible to lots of people as well, it’s so easy to judge a homeless drifter, but unless you’ve been on the receiving end most people have no clue how brutal and cold-hearted the world is.

It’s one of the reasons I really wish someday we’ll have socialism, there’s lots of people nobody gives a shit about. If someone isn’t a good victim then their suffering is a-okay, some will even laugh at them and mock them, because if the person is not a good victim guess we can dehumanize them, as a treat.

You’re right and I just wanted to add on top: How can they teach about that? People might start asking questions, it’s bad enough to admit your ancestors did atrocities, but that’s not the only issue. People had homes and sometimes land also, what happened to the homes of the victims? What happened to the homes where not a single family member was left?

Part of hiding the history is shame, but it’s more sinister than that. There’s some awful stories I’ve heard since they started vandalizing memories down here in Baltics and re-opened wounds of the people. It’s really sad, because I was hoping we’d get past shit like my father’s side of the family calling us “Russian halflings” in a derogatory fashion, when I was growing up … (which progressives have always been more or less a-ok with for some reason???)

Does it really matter when the tyrranids will eat you no matter what you pick. There ain’t no lions.

I’m glad you point this out and I should have been more critical in what I was trying to convey, because I just have a bad habit of assuming people already know. These capitalists exploiting the workers will not have a change of heart and there is almost 0 chance they will suddenly decide to treat workers with dignity. I also can’t advise on how I would envision a revolution, but neither can I see it sustaining itself, because all they’re doing is accelerating contradictions. Only slowing down for the sake of self-preservation, if at all.

Living in a micro fascist state myself I can only imagine how much worse workers have it in Singapore, because at least here we have the lingering post-soviet culture. Neoliberalism really is such a trash heap of a model for exitance.
