History has a direction. The revolution requires sacrifice. Camus said no. Any system of thought that subordinates living people to a hypothetical future has already committed the foundational moral error. Once you accept that logic, there is no limiting principle. Any atrocity becomes justifiable. Any amount of present suffering can be rationalized as a necessary input to the glorious output.<br/><br/>This is the structure of the AI acceleration argument.”<br/><a href="https://www.owenmcgrann.com/p/the-dead-economy-theory">https://www.owenmcgrann.com/p/the-dead-economy-theory</a> 2026-05-31T06:14:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd72y7cawtc7k4f7pfkp7ra8yzr60ueq3wynqratz0vvg48yzx37qzyqv5tqrg2huj2zwkg600j3m07fzn7jz08ur8n9ax3grduzf39zguk822kh7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqca3vevs99rp2zxumzue49c67cr6vst76vmxgu0r0lwtylyn8j2q83ulen'>nevent1q…ulen</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Are you following <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1mt24cq7yjjap2ckusc5flrcq79hfnpagqvht05rez5sr6hfacxss5xgsfp" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>The Bee Guy</span> (<span class="italic">npub1mt2…gsfp</span>)</a></span> ? 2026-05-15T17:10:14Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsz6m6pvv9t9ax42ujp4gx6z9ckham2s36mapvjdxu3g0quj60wlsczyqv5tqrg2huj2zwkg600j3m07fzn7jz08ur8n9ax3grduzf39zguk8zerjd Maybe turning the entire world into a casino was a bad idea…<br/>“More than half of “long-shot” bets on military action made on Polymarket are successful, according to a new report that suggests prediction markets could pose a bigger threat than previously recognized to the security of sensitive information.<br/><br/>Analysis by the Anti-Corruption Data Collective, a non-profit research and advocacy group, found that long-shot bets—defined as wagers of $2,500 or more at odds of 35 percent or less—on the platform had an average win rate of around 52 percent in markets on military and defense actions.”<br/><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/989d335e-275b-4cdc-b51d-4b29fd8895b0?syn-25a6b1a6=1">https://www.ft.com/content/989d335e-275b-4cdc-b51d-4b29fd8895b0?syn-25a6b1a6=1</a> 2026-05-09T23:16:58Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8w86fj8d7q40yq7ugy00j63kmcfa2pdddzsjqclwngvzrcflz2sszyqv5tqrg2huj2zwkg600j3m07fzn7jz08ur8n9ax3grduzf39zgukttr2mh Please, #europe, #france, don’t fall for the con…<br/> <img src="https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/116/466/641/816/739/790/original/7f3ecaf601311e31.png"> <br/> 2026-04-25T17:58:44Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfc5x7scvy2x65hjydd0xyghsy2ht0e3u8u9qd4ymayqkgh4tm32gzyqv5tqrg2huj2zwkg600j3m07fzn7jz08ur8n9ax3grduzf39zgukg0g6lk “The bill would make clear that the powers of corporations do not include spending money or contributing “anything of value” to influence elections or ballot measures, as the bill’s language explains.<br/><br/>That could directly challenge the ability of super PACs to raise unlimited money and keep their sources of funding secret.<br/><br/>“It makes Citizens United irrelevant in Hawaiʻi,” said Tom Moore, a senior fellow for democracy policy at the Center for American Progress who previously served for seven years at the Federal Election Commission. “Hawaiʻi has the opportunity to lead.”<br/><a href="https://www.civilbeat.org/2026/04/can-hawaii-deliver-all-of-america-from-citizens-united/">https://www.civilbeat.org/2026/04/can-hawaii-deliver-all-of-america-from-citizens-united/</a> 2026-04-22T00:02:30Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyar3k646adjdvmy84nlj533eavz7sdgecua34dkln4uu0mflgtvczyqv5tqrg2huj2zwkg600j3m07fzn7jz08ur8n9ax3grduzf39zguk7rxtgh “This case study is a masterclass in scientific reasoning,&#34; said Brugel. &#34;They identify a cluster, associate it with overexposure to pesticides, obtain transcriptomic and epigenetic data, compare them, notice they are different, generate a hypothesis and open up a new avenue.&#34; Not only did this study identify several hundred areas nationwide that had an increased risk of cancer due to environmental pesticide exposure, but it also offered an explanation for the mechanisms by which these substances can combine to subtly promote the development of cancers in certain organs.”<br/><a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/environment/article/2026/04/01/pesticides-and-cancer-for-the-first-time-researchers-find-a-connection-at-the-national-level_6752016_114.html">https://www.lemonde.fr/en/environment/article/2026/04/01/pesticides-and-cancer-for-the-first-time-researchers-find-a-connection-at-the-national-level_6752016_114.html</a> 2026-04-04T09:41:01Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszjxmflswwstratc0sug9l6ezgjnvv34sxwjnweenrh7y8gzl2wcgzyqv5tqrg2huj2zwkg600j3m07fzn7jz08ur8n9ax3grduzf39zguk0me79l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdckyxeng49zms2v627gya3ggxlkfcel43jwvwf7hnedfh2recxagdz4pnq'>nevent1q…4pnq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Super!

Directly after Trump denounced the court, its justices lost access to all their Microsoft accounts – emails, documents, calendar, address book. The court was, in effect, “bricked”.

Left relatively poor, demand shrinks, while prices perpetually rise.<br/><br/>This is where America is. The modern term, the American one for a “crisis of capitalism” is “stagflation.” And now stagflation is trapping Americans in its pincers.
