Last Notes npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive It tells me rich people are lazy mfs and some programmers are not dedicated to the craft. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive in any case, I suspect it might pull itself out of tbis scrape. I am not saying it will overcome the metabolic rift... But the fact is, if Mother Nature could beat capital for us, it would have long ago. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive yeah. Everyone made this big deal about a trans woman in the house of reps, but she voted for Israel and this bill like the rest of them npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive the one trans politician? Voting with them. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I imagine not even mining it the right way. There is a way to do it that's very safe. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive If they have the nerve for it. But I was speaking of a concept on the left going back to Peter Dale Scott. I've been doing my part in giving liberals that nerve. Reminding their story begins in revolutions tearing kings from their thrones...or, at least, putting a collar and leash on them. And these were not often peaceful revolutions. I have compared fascism to an aggressive kind of cancer, where beating it means not following rules because it won't. I also remind them the governors need to remember the national guard answers to them first. And plenty of states national guard units are veritable militaries in their own right. Union with other governors and skillful strategy might allow them to win. Small chance, but I suspect parts of the top brass might be planning to stage a coup to place trump and his cabinet under arrest as "enemies domestic". If this happens, and they succeed, they will likely call for an emergency election wherein Trump republicans will be barred from running. This will likely be only an emergency coup, done as an act to protect the republic. Though I do not rule out temptations to become a caesar on their part. [@aka_quant_noir](https://hcommons.social/@aka_quant_noir ) @npub1h8x…adx5 @npub1san…jgxu npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Republicans did not invent the idea of the deep state npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive The first kind. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive "Nobody asked for this!" Well I got news for you about every damn invention... npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I meant die prematurely. Death comes for us all, and it could come the very next second. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive You can be free, or be safe and not die: pick one. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I suppose, but are you sure? There are ways of understanding the situation that don't conclude that. Exhaust those first. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Then what is this research trying to say? npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Jesus, are we really going to argue this? Really? We're going to call being sexy online a sign of pathology? npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Fight well. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Most of our like cannot fight. Nevertheless, we few shall fight for all. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive More on the autistic neighborhood: I imagine it as a neighborhood where brave few train daily, should they ever be called to defend their urban home. Standing alongside all those organized to defend the community from all who threaten it, they fight as if they were the neighborhood's very walls. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive The internet was doomed the moment some fool in Japan created the first imageboard. It was all downhill from there. LLMs just are the final nail. I once had hope. This communication network, The Internet, is easily one of the greatest and most culturally and socially impactful inventions. I suppose its demise is fitting, given the nationalistic age we are entering. The Internet brought the world together, now borders tear it apart while capital feasts on the remains. It has been my primary means of reaching out and connecting with the world. Perhaps my negative predictions will turn out wrong I think, at 35 years of age, it may be high time I ended that, gradually. If all goes well I will be living in physical community with other queer people within 5 years. Not exactly the autistic neighborhoods I have been toying with, but it will do. Still, it is fun to imagine a neighborhood inhabited by autistics, general tone determined by them. Though my ideal one will always be a refuge for the discarded and forgotten in general. But it would be shaped by people like me, from elders to young runaways. Every morning those obsessed with metallurgy wake up early. The neighborhood is near the docks. One of the warehouses has been squatted and converted to a great makeshift forge. The sounds of hammers pounding upon the anvils, from a distance, serve the same as church bells in older times, rousing all to to wake if alarm clocks haven't. Most us, myself included, work for our living. But a determining number of various support needs do not work. Some survive on welfare of varying degrees of generosity. Others on the inheritance or trusts of their families. But here there are no selfish heirs or listless and dejected dependents. They are the town fathers and mothers, who busy themselves about with things. Some are the reason this poor neighborhood at least has swept streets and sidewalks. Others help in the community garden that has grown to comprise more than one empty lot. The harvest is looking good this fall. Others are the anonymous patrons and matrons, using some of their wealth, who are the reason struggling churches, temples, mosques, etc in the community never shutter their doors; or why the communuty center is still able to run their after school programs. Nevertheless they exercise no control...anonymity and an oath taken at the local madfellows lodge to always serve the community. At night, the streets come alive and... Well you get the idea. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive @npub1c82…ytnt Some man advice speaking as an ex-man: men hate Hallmark movies for some reason. And not because they suck. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I'm definitely going to be making some enemies with how many abscesses i will be lancing in radical spaces. For the most likely just caused by me trying to understand all sides of conflicts and "drama" people rather forget. Excuse me for just wanting to understand what happened. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I will know the autistic community will have made it, the moment the white nationaliat sees us as a threat to their imaginary racial body politic. The threat that can spring forth as the fruit of their loins. The moment they start spinning conspiracies around our supposed drive to establish our supremacy over "normal people". Intellects vast, cool, unsympathetic. Drawing plans against them. When we aren't so high support need as to be a drag on the race's vitality. I say run out ahead of that, feed their fear. Maybe even make a few of them seem real. What I'm trying to say is if I built a secret club for autistic people to join, would you? npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive They did, but they were dismantled. Partly because corruption in them, but also to leave trades people vulnerable to becoming hirelings. Guilds were not quite unions. Members were still very much in competition with each other. But none allowed any to fall into ruin. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive so he knew he'd be caught npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive and yes re-embrace. While there has always been anarchists less than enthused with high technology, many have been more enthusiastic. I'm the same way about geoengineering. Technically our species has been doing this for a long time. I'd even call some indigenous land management techniques to be such. Plus if we are ever to turn Mars and Venus into second and third homes for our species, we will have to save this planet first. And the skills we develop to do that will be very helpful in terraforming. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive What it has been based on has changed over the years...but yes. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I don't think people realize what is coming. We are entering a period where those who fall outside the hegemonic group in any respect will have no one to count on but each other and themselves individually. If I am panicking, it is because I see everyone standing like a deer in headlights, frozen, doing nothing, as a car they deny is coming is barreling toward them. The time for fighting for rights is over, rights we will end up losing. Now is the time to fight for survival. We can't afford to keep any deference to the law, or even hegemonic conceptions of right and wrong in any capacity. The hardest part will be the kind of risks necessary to help the youngest. Truth is Black people have been surviving under this kind of pressure since the whole thing began. You don't see them fighting for acceptance. They know they'll never get it. It's time the rest of us do this too. I admit I am traumatized: it was hard, but I admit it. Growing up autistic in the 1990s and 2000s will do that. That was a period where could count on nothing. Don't stand like a deer in headlights. Get on your feet. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Not my thing, to each their own. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Just don't defang him. He was very much a radical to the very end. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I am speaking to the overall situation npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive in fairness bees are making a comeback npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive That's a hard idea for a lot. Separating the two concepts. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Well I think people doing the work are the best judges of that, all things being equal. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Well yes, depending on what you mean by the term. You can have a free market or capitalism, never both. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive So did I. Respected him. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive You're being too dismissive: production is a vital part of it. And CEOs are not welcome in any view of socialism. And I'm not too quick to define anything as "crap" ahead of time. You cede too much to CEOs, let them define the conversation. I imagine producing whatever satisifies needs and wants, ever shifting and changing like a kaleidescope. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive If you really want to bake your noodle...free market socialism is not a made up idea. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive That's not quite what socialism is. That is certainly part of the value set, but it is not socialism as such. The core claim of socialism is that labor (the majority of the species), being the source of all wealth, should be put in possession of what is theirs In a word, everything. The rest is about how best to achieve that. Define capitalist dreams? What have you ceded to capital? I cede nothing to it. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive they target cancerous cells. What do you suppose the fascist considers cancerous? npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive specifically the killer T cells. You know what those do? npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive That is how fascists think. Police must be above the law they enforce npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive The internal immune system. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive That is certainly a kind of corporate body. But it's a bigger concept than that. It's any kind of organization that has a legal existence independent of the people involved. Imagine each individual as a cell of this "body", divisions like different organs. The Board being the brain. Imagine society being imagined that way. Then you are closer to understanding fascisms ambitions. They are far more frightening than "let the rich run wild" npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Now, this is not to say the wealthy didn't make out like bandits. They did. They also had influence and power. But the one with ultimate power is the leader. He tells them to jump, they ask how high. Woe betide even the CEO who looks at him wrong. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive well remember it's not a situation where corporations of any kind rules the state. It's the state that rules them, however many favors the state does for them. It is a state accountable to no one but itself. Not the people. Not any one class. No one but itself. But everyone else, individually and collectively, is accountable to it. Two societies that followed the exact model: Juan Peron's Argentina and General Park's South Korea. The scary thing about them? They worked. The middle classes and much of the working class are bought off with material comforts. In Park's Korea, only the most hardscrabble unions and students resisted. The rest were happy enough with their TVs and refridgerators to not upset the apple cart. Even businessmen bowed their heads to Park: if they so much as invested a single Won outside the country, they were sentenced to death. Perhaps even Singapore, esp. under Lee Kwan Yew, also is an example. In Yew's Singapore, even a CEO could be publicly whipped and canned for breaking certain laws. And often were. As is Chiang-Kai-Shek's Taiwan. Everything in the state. Everything for the state. Nothing outside the state. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive The way he's using the word, it doesn't just mean a chartered for profit corporation. It means any organization of any kind. Not one of them to be independent of the state. It means you can have unions...but they permitted no operational or organizational independence. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive bear in mind: he was using the term corporate in a broader sense. One that goes back to the Middle Ages. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive It just mean god ffs npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive And for whatever reasons developmental normalities in autistic girls at very young ages aren't noted...early intervention is crucial for the best outcome. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive @npub1san…jgxu I suspect the problem is that psychs observe afab autistics do better at social cognition than male counterparts...forgetting the relevant comparison is afab autistics with the afab NT baseline. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive just me taking things to serious npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive sleep well sister npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive For me it was "never trust, demand evidence" npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive haha, that's the spirit dear sister. And you were a charmer, he was wrong. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive It's simple in a way. You just assume NTs are liars and often you can catch them in a lie. Thwarted many attempts to gaslight umfortunately. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive no interest or capacity to observe minor things like day to day behavior. More interested in larger social dynamics. I knew enough: never believe an NT without evidence or proof. If they say sky is blue, check to be sure. Make sure it is clear to them how little they trusted npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Never could learn. 100% mind blind today. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive you both mind blind too? Blind and deaf to all but what is verbally communicated? npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive i presume this is in jest npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I just had blanket mistrust. I will always caution young autistics. Never trust the NT or their words. They deceive as easily as we breathe, and are always jockeying for position. Never believe them, even if they say they're your friends. Mind blind as we, how are we to know? How can we trust? We cannot. And must not. We need to stick to our own kind. It is all of us against a world not made for us...yet cannot run without ua npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Always defended the Vulcans. Their way of life has much to recommend it npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive i had no way to sus out. Completely mind blind npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Try being self aware yet foolish enough to try for more each time, flying too close to the sun npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Late diagnosed and early diagnosed autistics...neither one of us clearly has it better than the other. We're both in the same circle of Hell, just tortured in different ways. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Nonbinary is trans and I'll always stubbornly insist. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I suspect...that is the fear that lies at the center of a lot of white queers. The fear of being seen as a monster. It wasn't long ago even they were universally reviled. This is not to say white skin privilege was out of play, but it bought no assurances. I can't speak for all white autistucs, but given that I can't mask very well, could never learn how, and never wanted to...I've long ago made peace with being seen as a monster. Or a potential danger. I've noticed two things that happen with us: some of us clamor for assimilation. A few of that some succeed...for a time. But eventually what it takes to keep the charade going takes its toll. If they're lucky, the breaking point occurs late in life. But for most, the breakdown comes sooner. I won't deny we're more likely to have someone catch us, and the stingy system is slightly more likely to be somewhat generous. But even all that is precarious. Temporary. And in any event, it is made very clear we can never truly be "one of them" in so far as we refuse to pretend for them and be useful until we wear out. We are never to imagine we're ever as good as they are. What I'm trying to say is if we don't trapped on some reactionary treadmill, we all end up having to accept we will always been seen as monstrous. And there doesn't seem to be a way out...and all efforts to extend out acceptance to us have generally come to naught. It seems as if whiteness does draw a hard line someone: crazies and "retards" not welcome. And never will be. So we don't go chasing after that. We don't have much of a positive plan. But we know what we want. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive And I'm thinking about dirt poor students here. Those are of greater concern to me. @npub1ruj…sejm @npub1ppe…qv2g @npub1m3c…97fm npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Frankly textbooks shouldn't be copyrighted at all, with it being perfectly acceptable to distribute free digital copies. Many people can't afford the textbooks. @npub1ruj…sejm @npub1ppe…qv2g @npub1m3c…97fm npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I see it all as of a piece, but the most I'm willing to entertain is 35 to 40 years. No higher. Anyway I proposed the idea of a generous basic income in lieu of any copyright protection. Authors guilds could negotiate for higher precentages of sales revenue for authors from publishers. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Then I suppose it falls upon radicals to once more take up the banner of predecessors, and establish our own free schools for the people. We can't promise diplomas or degrees, but we can at least ensure the majority of the not-wealthy are literate, numerate, and can read the latest books and the classics one way or another. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I assume that 51% Are people who are basically not all together literate. Able to read, but not understand? Then we are truly in dire straits. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive No doubt there will still be self-educated commoners that will still be the intellectual equals or even superiors of the rich kids who can only attend college. Not that it will matter without that piece of paper. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive And surely you know intellectual property does not ration a scarce resource, but makes scarce what is naturally abundant? I respect your work as an author. But surely it is a little absurd to expect to profit off of your book on chaos theory until death. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Except art is of a qualitatively different thing. I never said no renumeration, but theres renumeration and then there is a monopoly rent. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I think you over estimate how many would stop creating and sharing ideas in the face of it. A few stubborn souls may drop out, but the majority would continue, and many more would join in this more commons oriented approach to ideas. The inventor or the author who refuses to share his work with the world if he cannot profit by it simply get left behind. I point to the FLOSS scene as an example in my favor. Put aside whatever you may think about that motley collection of programmers personally, or even whatever odious traits they may possess. You cannot accuse them of being possessive of their work, at least not to the extent of demanding profit. That much is laudable. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Well I have this to say to them: tough titty. Tough shit. The good of the whole outweighs a single person's precious idea, no matter how beautiful or how hard they worked at it. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive And few, if any, of them supporting "letters of patent" or any kind of intellectual property. To them, ideas were like air. You can't own air. Ideas, to them, were seen as the common property of everyone in a nation; indeed, everyone in the whole world. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Indeed, rent was an issue prior. It was actually something that pissed off Adam Smith and other classical liberals complained about at least prior to Marx. Some of the more radical liberals even pushed for land redistribution and land reform, confiscating the big estates and breaking them up in such a way as to turn serfs into free peasants. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Surely we can find some alternative to either path. You're talking about this as if it were fate, an inherent trade-off to be made. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Walt Whitman too. Great poet. But there is poetry, then there is systems of thought. And I have a preference for consistency. FWIW, I would not impose such a view. Argue for it, yes. Defend it against objections, absolutely. But never impose. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Well yes I am big Emerson fan. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I argue it is both a theory and a practice (I will never use praxis without irony). npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Why is consistency oppressive? Enlighten me. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Well, yes and no. It can be conceived as a kind of self-government, but not in the sense of all ruling over each other. And I believe consistency is not necessarily anti-anarchistic. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive they are someone whose arms you have to sometimes twist...and ideally be in a position where you have them by the balls. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive That feeling when you realize the people oppressing you are also dumber than ypu are. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I suspect they are judging it too harshly. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Indeed, they're kissing the ring npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive It may require building a new network from scratch; each seed planted in a given community and spreading out, connecting, resolving this issues as we proceed. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive That...complicates things. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Then it must be made easy. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I see. So the protocol must revised heavily. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Yeah the problem is that spam filter protocols should be public. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Sudden increase of body temperature relative to a very low ambient pressure would make heat radiation visible I suppose. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I am happy you noted his good intentions. It was never his goal to defend colonization or dispossession of indigenous peoples by Europe. Indeed, it was the opposite. His intention was to deflate the colonizers ego by showing how much of it came down to dumb luck. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive What I meant is they don't think trans women are women, but muscular and tomboy cis women are women. It comes down to how one thinks about gender and what one even thinks it is. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive I guess that's the divide between the "liberal" wing of transphobia and the conservative wing. They're down for the first but not two and three. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Again, that's what hypocrisy and cowardice looks like. It doesn't take much, and the worst part is that it isn't inherently fascist to be that shitty. It's just that common. Trust me none of this is new. I'm used to being mocked and laughed at. At this point it only irritates me. But irritation is enough for me to do it. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive Liberal campuses my ass. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive honestly...something like google glass but for analyzing neurotypical nonverbal communication would be great for autistics. npub1ea4gu8lw0nasuy0f5j4nzel7gersatqurwj95zzt9pdnext4e07qsztls4 FinalOverdrive now that's direct action
