If it's satire or not, does it really matter. Demonstrated preference and true either way

Oh yes, there's nothing like a little rape to cool down intergroup tensions

It violates first principles to assert that a higher order can be caused by a lesser order. "Emergence" as casual and not merely revealing is a nonsense

A false religion and mental illness. In modern America it is mostly a reaction to the weird heretical forms of Christianity we are popularly familiar with. Then again, atheists have made the first step of at least attempting to reject nonsense in favor of reason and logic, if it they only fallen into yet another nonsense in the process

The AI apocalypse is a psyop born of a passing a hype cycle. "AI" is only a database with a fancy text/image generator. It's very useful, but only to human ends and in human hands. The anthropomorphic parlor trick is just that. There will be some dislocations in capital structures, sure-it is a remarkable and transformative tool- but we will adapt. Economics does not change. Human beings will continue to find ways to create value for each other and exchange it for what we need. Don't let the wicked among the elite sell you their dark fantasies as inevitable outcomes. Don't despair. Don't abandon your brothers and sisters in nihilism. We can win the day.

If you weren't wearing those sunglasses, you'd have seen us on our phones :P

You used memes. Biggov is vulnerable to meme-based attacks. Damage multiplier activated.

Agreed - within the context our modern, highly-centralized political forms. But this wouldn't have applied as clearly to small scale monarchies. Subsidiarity. Make decisions local again.

If you sacrifice liberty for safety, you end up with neither. Safety-ism is as futile as it is disingenuous. Look at the recent UK law. Do you think they are protecting children or removing the public's ability to complain when the don't? I would argue that the rape gang scandals answer that question in full. Franklin Credit Union, Epstein... The more control we give up in the name of safety, the less accountable power becomes and the less incentive they have to keep us (or our children) safe.

Still zero interactions, but... Nostr is the first "social software" (as it was once called) that I have genuinely liked since del.ico.us circa 2003

Social engineering is everywhere and always and act of aggression. Let that sink in.

I thought you said it improved your mental health? Confused...

Co your suffering and unite it with the Holy Cross

That is precisely what we came to do.
