ACTIVE MASON, or, On The Joys of Interracial Cruelty
In May, my mother gave me a ring. I had admired it when my grandmother wore it, and after she passed away and I was off living abroad in the early ‘naughts, I asked my mother for the ring in memory of her. My mother never wore it or took an interest in it but I found the oval design and intricate detailing intriguing. The family was auctioning off my grandmother’s goods and I had neither a house nor a reason nor the finances to transport bourgeois-style furniture or early American paintings. I was living in communist-style block housing designed even without closets. Nor was I much into accumulating things. And nobody asked me anyway.
She demurred. Then, a few months ago, around my birthday but not on it, she gave it to me, perhaps two decades after my request. She also told the story of the ring, which, as it turns out, belonged to my great-grandmother. I had vaguely heard the family lore but never connected that it was the very same ring. My great-grandfather had proposed with a solitaire in a four-prong setting which prompted my great-grandmother to have a tearful fit so unsatisfactory did she find the ring’s design. She cried for hours, slung over the bed, inconsolable—so the story goes—and was torn up about what to do (impossible that she would wear it!) so much so that she consulted his sister and they plotted to convince him to get another one. This ring, and its not quite forgotten drama, is now mine. It is much too large for me—her ring finger significantly wider than even my center one—so I considered altering it but instead bought a cheap ring adjuster not at all worthy of it but suitable for my purposes as I decide what to do.
I suppose gazing at it I became curious about the man who had bought it and when. I believe it is from 1918 or so. Last week I found an obituary and was unpleasantly surprised to learn that he was “a veteran of WWI” — that part I am fine with — “and an Active Mason.” That part — not so fine with. First of all, I thought these things were supposed to be kept secret, not published in newspapers. Secondly, and most importantly, it is the first black-and-white in my face evidence that I am somehow related to Freemasons. Eh gad! I had grimly suspected my great-great-grandfather of it as he seemed to be head of one (or five) too many various institutes but even so I didn’t have any Actual Proof. And here I am out in internet-o land issuing evacuation orders to whom I monikered The Bozo Grovers. Most probably because I am sometimes in their proximity and thus can be considered an occasional neighbor. Do I ask myself how or why I ended up near them? Yes and no. I feel a claim to even the surrounding territory such that I should be entitled to the right to be annoyed by their presence and leverage their eviction. Perhaps I have generational marbled, kobe-level beef of which I myself was not even consciously aware.
You will not be surprised now to learn that my great-grandfather was President of a Bank. Yes, it’s true! In a bustling steel town. The man my grandmother (his daughter) eventually married had turned down his college invitation to be in a secret society and didn’t really attain any high position in his life; she left him to marry a man who probably was in these secret groups—a man who worked on RFK’s ill-fated campaign. It’s ALL true! The conspiracies must be true as I have no other explanation. And while I haven’t gone much down the Freemason rabbit hole, I gather the God they worship is not the same one I do. And yet it somehow leads to the top end of a materialist’s pyramid, at what emotional cost we must all wonder.
Thus, yesterday, I decided to finally open and read a letter I had found, or, rather, another family member had found and given to me, that I managed to put off reading for, oh, a good couple of years. Written by my grandmother sent from Washington D.C. to my mother in San Francisco, probably after one too many gimlets, on a lonely Xmas Eve (one would imagine given the ruminations) most probably on learning that my mother was pregnant again (another one!) with my sister. It’s difficult to read her handwriting. The meanness of the letter can only be said to be tempered by its cruelty, and even so, it has its own level of erudite thoughtfulness to it, a bitter sort of charm. It’s difficult to say if my grandmother is merely being racist, as it is more emotionally complex than that (a mother feeling abandoned, a narcissist losing her grip), although there’s definitely a solid base of that here. Oddly enough—as an aside — more than a decade later while the O.J. Simpson trial went on, which fell heavily on racial lines (at least in D.C. with white people generally believing him to be guilty and black people wanting to see him walk free) — she studiously followed the case and even wrote her own mini-thesis on it. She was wholly convinced of his innocence. Perhaps, then, it was not just that my father was dark, and spoke with an accent but—even worse in her eyes—he was short.
To receive a letter such as this from one’s own mother, while pregnant?
““B—— was raised to marry within his tribe, i.e. not even a neighboring one. And there you both are, attempting to stake our common life as entirely disparate antecedents.”
“If you need a room without a view, well and good. But that is a reality that has little to do with me. Nor can I contend with it, except in the most superficial way. For I too have emotional limits as to adaptability.
If you were hurt because I did not stay for Asmara’s birth and other matters, there will be more of that, I am afraid. For I am as unable to follow where you seem to want to lead me, as you seem unable to follow where I might lead you.”
Eventually, my mother did tow the antecedent line, just not natally. (But she towed us along with her.) She went back to D.C. She went back to her mother, and her lifestyle. Sort of. These were the days of shoulder pads. (Later, my grandmother would carefully instruct me in the harms of feminism and even bought me The Rules as a teenager—I mean the 90’s one with time-tested secrets about capturing Mr. Right). Thus, unlike her mother, mine worked and did so daily—showing off her calves and her security clearance badges in equal measure. She remarried. She had her inside-the-beltway dinner parties with insiders.
Oh the bicoastal schizophrenia of faux-elites, so determined to serve a predatory culture it seems programmed into their (our?) genes—but who is the programmer?
I am quite the anomaly in all of this—a renegade byproduct of an unknown, yet forked, arcane and archaic aegis.

OH OH OH OH-ILLNESS!
ok so i know reading someone else’s ai search is boring however—here’s a theory i prompted on those food borne illnesses all in the news. i think they may be “caused” by the glp-1’s that the — (insert your word here) — are taking. food usually stays in your stomach 1-2 hours. the shot delays stomach emptying. this raises pH, but also negatively impacts your immune system. meaning: those shot or pill takers won’t be able to deal as well with food borne pathogens anymore. I AM NOT A DOCTOR // THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. i am just playing around with ai & we all know its tendencies.
how would having food for longer in the stomach negatively impact bodily processes like ph, immune responses, and other cellular systems that would normally activate in 1-2 hours after stomach emptying
When food remains in the stomach longer than usual, it alters the timing and environment of downstream cellular, chemical, and immune processes.
1. Stomach pH and Acid Regulation
* Prolonged Acid Production: The physical presence of food (distension) and protein fragments triggers stomach cells to continuously secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and pepsin.
* Heartburn and Reflux: When food sits longer, the accumulated acid mixes with digesting food to form a larger volume of acidic chyme. Combined with increased pressure inside the stomach, this higher acid volume increases the risk of gastroesophageal reflux (acid reflux/heartburn).
* Potential pH Buffering Issues: Normally, stomach pH drops below ~2.0 to sanitize food and activate digestive enzymes. If food sits for extended periods, the constant presence of unabsorbed nutrients can temporarily buffer (raise) pH higher than normal between meals, slightly impairing the stomach’s ability to kill incoming bacteria.
2. Immune System Responses & Microbial Balance
* Shift in Gut Microbiome: Slower transit time gives gut bacteria more time to ferment unabsorbed nutrients. While GLP-1 medications can increase beneficial species like Akkermansia muciniphila, severe slowing can lead to Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), where bacteria normally restricted to the large intestine back up and multiply in the small intestine.
* Suppression of the "Migrating Motor Complex" (MMC): Between meals, the digestive tract performs a sweeping wave called the MMC—an "immune and motility housekeeper" that clears out undigested debris and excess bacteria. Keeping food in the stomach longer delays or suppresses this wave, making it easier for microbes to accumulate where they shouldn't.
* GALT (Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue) Activation: Over 70% of the immune system resides in the gut. Stagnant food or microbial shifts can irritate the gut lining, triggering localized inflammatory signaling pathways (such as TNF-alpha or interleukin releases).
3. Cellular and Metabolic System Shifts
* Delayed Incretin and Bile Release: Normally, when food enters the small intestine 1–2 hours post-meal, it triggers cholecystokinin (CCK) to release bile from the gallbladder and pancreatic enzymes. Delayed emptying postpones this signal, which can slow down fat absorption and alter gallbladder emptying (slightly increasing the risk of gallstones).
* Delayed Incretin and Nutrient Cascades: The metabolic cascade where cells signal satiety, absorb amino acids, and store glycogen is shifted on a delayed timeline. This isn't inherently damaging, but it flattens nutrient spikes into a slow, continuous trickle.
recently there is an influx of bacterial food infections in the news--let's hypothesize that a large majority of the population in the U.S. is taking semaglutides or synthetic hormones like wegovy and ozempic. are they potentially more susceptible then to food borne bacterial infections that may normally have not been a problem before?
Hypothetically, if a majority of the population were on GLP-1 medications like Wegovy or Ozempic during an influx of foodborne pathogens, yes, people would be systematically more susceptible to certain infections and experience worse outcomes.
While GLP-1s do not suppress the systemic immune system (like steroids or chemotherapy do), their primary physiological effect—delayed gastric emptying—fundamentally alters the body's first line of defense against foodborne bacteria.
1. The Stomach Acid Barrier is Bypassed
Your stomach is designed as an antimicrobial chamber. Its highly acidic environment (pH 1.5 to 2.0) neutralizes most ingested pathogens before they reach the rest of the body:
* Acid Neutralization: When food sits in the stomach for extended hours on a GLP-1 drug, the continuous presence of nutrients buffers and raises the stomach's pH. 
* Pathogen Survival: Bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Campylobacter are sensitive to stomach acid. A less acidic environment allows a much higher percentage of ingested bacteria to survive the stomach phase and pass alive into the small intestine, where they cause infection. 
2. Slower Transit = Extended Incubation Time
Normally, the stomach empties food into the small intestine within 1 to 2 hours, and rapid intestinal transit helps push pathogens out before they can colonize the gut wall.
* Increased Bacterial Load: When food remains stagnant in the stomach or upper gut for 4 to 8+ hours, bacteria have the time, temperature (body temp: 98.6°F), and nutrient-rich environment needed to multiply exponentially. 
* Lower Infectious Dose Needed: Bacteria that normally wouldn't infect someone because the body swept them away before they could multiply (or because acid destroyed them) can proliferate inside stagnant food in the stomach. 
3. Severe Dehydration Risk & Diagnostic Confusion
If an outbreak occurred, GLP-1 users would face two distinct clinical complications:
* Compounded Dehydration: Both foodborne gastroenteritis and GLP-1 medications frequently cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. A foodborne infection on top of a GLP-1 drug leads to rapid, severe fluid loss, increasing the risk of acute kidney injury.  
* Delayed Diagnosis: Because "Ozempic side effects" (sulfur burps, nausea, abdominal pain) mirror food poisoning, patients are far more likely to dismiss early infection symptoms as routine medication adjustments, delaying proper medical care.  
4. Impaired Gut Clearance (Suppressed MMC Waves)
In a healthy gut, the Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) acts as an "intestinal housekeeper," triggering electrical sweeping waves to clear out undigested food and bacteria.
By constantly keeping the stomach partially full, GLP-1 drugs suppress this sweeping motion. This lack of motility prevents the body from naturally flushing out bacterial toxins, making the duration and severity of the foodborne illness worse.

Does Silicon Valley dream of Philip K Dick?Illustration by The Red Dress
Financial Times US
Aug 08, 2026
Beset by rogue AIs, erratic billionaires and wild space fantasies, our present feels less like classic science fiction than the glitchy unreality of Dick’s 1960s visions. It’s time we woke up, say Henry Farrell and Dan Wang
Elon Musk took a giant leap into a science-fiction future this summer as SpaceX completed the biggest initial public offering in history. The rocket company had claimed it would help humanity ascend in stages from building orbital AI data centres to Mars colonies and eventually a “Kardashev IIlevel civilization” — one so technologically advanced it could encase the sun to capture its entire energy output.
Amid all the excitement, there were familiar notes. Silicon Valley likes to dress its ambitions in the glistening garb of science fiction from the 1950s, when authors such as Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke spun tales of humanity spreading through the stars.
But what kind of future are we really hurtling towards? Increasingly, it is looking much more like the one anticipated by the drugged-up 1960s oeuvre of Philip K Dick, filled with deranged billionaires, machines that claim consciousness, hallucinated worlds and political breakdown. Musk and his brethren seem more like escapees from this universe than the Asimovian super-geniuses they imagine themselves to be. It is Dick’s far weirder sensibilities that offer the better guide to Silicon Valley today.
Dick created queasy worlds where everything seems to teeter on collapse. His novels themselves often threatened to unravel — featuring convoluted plots, ideas sometimes leading nowhere and misogynistic portrayals of women, all wrapped up in unenviable prose. Drugs and financial exigencies help explain the rushed writing; he could not have worked on six novels in 1964 without massive abuse of amphetamines. Regular lurches into paranoia help explain why his legacy was uneven. The list of people Dick denounced to the FBI includes Polish writer Stanisław Lem, as well as literary critics Darko Suvin and Fredric Jameson.
Dick died in 1982, mostly having failed to achieve significant literary appreciation. He was not a good writer for his time. But he is a great writer for ours.
Technology in Dick’s world is invasive and glitchy, sometimes telling us that it refuses to work, or holding us to ransom. At the start of his 1969 novel Ubik, the apartment door smugly demands a payment for opening and closing. The protagonist, after losing the negotiation, decides to unscrew the door from its frame, prompting the latter to threaten a lawsuit. When characters in Dick’s world yell at the TV, the TV sometimes yells right back. The speech modules of our personal devices don’t yell, but they are beginning to combine alert attention with dim-witted obsequiousness, anticipating our needs while profusely apologising for irretrievably wiping our database.
Machines can be mistaken for humans and humans for machines. In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968), the basis of the film Blade Runner, human bounty hunters come to resemble the soulless androids they hunt down for money. In the movie, as in many of Dick’s short stories, they are unsure whether they might be androids themselves.
Dick’s fascination with the fragility of reality and what it means to be human stemmed from deep conviction and a mental breakdown. His speech-turned-essay “How to Build a Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later” revealed that the two questions that fascinated him were “What is reality?” and “What constitutes the authentic human being?” Society is starting to grapple with AI psychosis, when people mistake predictive text algorithms for friends, boyfriends and girlfriends. Maybe they don’t want to know better.
Above all, it is Dick’s understanding of political economy that is urgently relevant today, as Trump-produced instability is compounded by AI-generated unreality.
An unholy tangle of elites tends to hover over every Dick novel: corporate titans who have created new technologies, property developers who own a chunk of Mars or a demesne in California, conglomerates managed by charismatic founders. Though some government authorities are checked out (replaced by androids), others run technology-fuelled police states that reduce citizens to bundles of data that can be monitored and eliminated.
These elites are smart and conniving but prone to a particular kind of selfdeception. They imagine that they are entangled in the plots of some mastermind who is even more sinister than they are. Dick’s most brilliant move is to reveal that the malign forces reshaping the world are in fact petty, self-obsessed and jealous beings.
In Ubik, nearly everyone dies soon after the book’s opening. The bodies of the former employees of Runciter Associates are stored in cryogenic facilities that allow them to imagine a shared world into being.
As they try to unravel the mystery of their death, the characters are devoured by a seemingly terrifying force. It turns out to be a rather disturbed adolescent demanding their attention. That may seem painfully familiar to Americans whose cable news and social media
feeds are all Donald Trump, all the time. A similar revelation anchors Flow My
Tears, the Policeman Said (1974). The novel portrays Jason Taverner, a celebrity and member of an elite that is genetically enhanced for brains and beauty. He wakes up one day to a world in which no one knows who he is. Taverner was undone not by one of his peers but by a troubled fan who has consumed a drug that warps reality. In our world too, the feedback loops of fame have become increasingly deranged. It isn’t just pop stars but venture capitalists and CEOs whose sense of the real is inexorably chiselled away by the attentions of their adorers and execrators.
The fusion of business and hallucination reaches its peak in The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch (1965), in which a business tycoon returns from the stars, promising to fulfil the wishes of everyone who steps into the fantasy worlds that he has created. Eldritch’s every move threatens to destabilise the existing corporate and political order. Those who use his product, a drug called Chew-Z, find themselves plunged into worlds that revolve around Eldritch, infecting them with his blurred vision, alienation and despair. Though Elon Musk has reportedly been a prolific drug user, he has not yet released his own variety of dope.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the physicist Freeman Dyson speculated about megastructures that could encircle whole stars to capture their energy, before dismissing the idea as “a little joke”. Now such ideas inspire not just science-fiction novels but SpaceX’s business plans. Wild speculative fiction has become the fuel of wild financial speculation. Morgan Stanley projects that SpaceX’s revenue could reach $3.4tn by 2040, presumably the year that these particular stock analysts expect to retire. Investors are still shorting SpaceX despite it reporting higherthan-expected revenue this week.
Grand visions of technological transformation are everywhere, and everywhere they hide realities that combine extraordinary moneymaking schemes with bizarre beliefs. On the one hand, Marc Andreessen’s venture capital partnership funds gambling apps and a start-up promising to “cheat on everything”; on the other, the Silicon Valley Trump whisperer promises that our descendants will “live in the stars”, writing his own quasi-religious credo, complete with “patron saints”. Peter Thiel combines a superb record of picking tech winners with an obsession with the eschaton; he has brought his gloomy discourses on the nature of the Antichrist to the doorstep of the Vatican. Sam Altman says that thanks to AI, we “are close to creating a genie that can grant any wish”.
Yet it is perhaps Mark Zuckerberg who is trying hardest to build a universe that Dick invented as a cautionary tale. The chief executive of Meta is working on an AI version of himself that can interact with employees, perhaps so he won’t have to. Zuckerberg’s exhortations, however, have so far failed to win over Meta employees asked to allow all of their clicks to be recorded so that they can train their own AI replacements.
All of these are Dickish characters. We live in a future that he would recognise immediately. Billionaires have dreamt up alternative realities that they try to pull everyone into, constructing homegrown myths of religions from apocrypha. We are building AI that seems so close to human as to even confuse its creators, while it often fails at basic human tasks. The political order is trying to co-opt the rising business elites — or is it the other way around?
Dick’s political bugaboo of Richard Nixon may be farcically reincarnated as Donald Trump. The historian Gary Wills described Nixon’s personal tragedy of talent and resentment in his 1970 book Nixon Agonistes. Trump’s dark promises to restore order are not nearly as psychologically interesting, but they have been much more consequential in practice. Like Arnie Kott, the corrupt and venal union leader in Martian TimeSlip (1964), Trump has tried to turn back time and failed. The rest of us are trapped with Trump in his pretend universe where he won the election in 2020, while government policy falls into dank memes and decay. Instead of being made great again, America has become poorer, weaker and meaner. Our fate might have more dignity if Trump were less petty than he is.
Back in 1976, Ursula K Le Guin compared Dick to a “homegrown Borges”, whose subject matter was “reality and madness, time and death, sin and salvation”. He would be better recognised had he not been trapped in self-created theological and existential labyrinths after suffering his breakdown in the 1970s.
We live once more in an era that doesn’t make sense, however hard we look for some grand order. Dick’s combination of verve and madness in confronting the problems of the 1960s — Vietnam, suburbia, the cold war, drugs — holds three key lessons for today.
First, our business and political elites are not paranoid enough, or at least not paranoid in the right way. Western leaders spend plenty of time fearing the designs of the fearsomely technocratic Chinese Communist Party. Though that may be merited, they should also dwell on far weirder threats: predatory imaginary realities, billionaires reshaping people’s information environments around their own alienation, machines that could be mistaken for human (and often are). Politicians obsess too much over ordinary geopolitics rather than the technologies and corporate interests that might devour their world.
Second, technology can still be an ally for human ends. Dick’s androids are not necessarily antagonistic towards their human progenitors. In Vulcan’s Hammer (1960), the novel’s equivalent of GPT-7 achieves sentient consciousness and decides to work with humanity in order to prevent the emergence of GPT-8. Dick’s aliens (his technological visions in another guise) tend to be friendly towards humanity; if they pose any threat, it is towards humanity’s political oppressors. Technology might be glitchy and churlish in Dick’s world. It also has a purposiveness that sometimes fits surprisingly well with people’s own purposes.
Third, and most importantly, these purposes should be built from the bottom up. We are confused by and entangled in the science-fiction futures that tech elites have dreamt up for us, demanding that we assent to their strange beliefs about humanity’s destiny amid the stars, the coming of the eschaton, the birth of conscious artificial intelligence, perhaps all at once. More traditional elites, with their self-serving nostalgia for a past world that was never as solid as they believed, aren’t any better as guides.
We need to find our way back to reality: in Dick’s description, that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away. Dick’s last novel describes his own madness from the outside through the eyes of Angel Archer, the one sympathetic and deeply rendered woman in all his work. She concludes that the only way out is through holding on to what is solid, and building up from small relationships.
Salvation is found in the ridiculous and the small — in Ubik, God takes the form of a spray can. It is also to be found in the people around us. Le Guin says that Dick is like Dickens in treating the “honesty, constancy, kindness and patience of ordinary people” as the bedrock of the world. The disturbed child in Martian Time-Slip begins to grow out of his madness when an aboriginal Martian brings him into communion by passing him a cigarette.
Much of what we used to believe in has gone away. Much of what obsesses us now might go away if only we stopped believing in it. The hypnotic powers of Trump and Musk are often a phantasm, losing their pull if people decline to be entranced.
Instead of gazing upwards to find our glorious cosmic destiny, we should be looking closer to home. What are the people around us doing to build things up, brick layered and mortared carefully on brick? How can we make solid connections between the communities we live in and the bigger structures of the world? How can technology be put to work for human ends, rather than becoming an end in itself? Those are the kinds of questions that helped guide Dick out of his madness. They can help guide us out of ours, too.

here’s what i sent them so i’m not just complaining online: “Dear Guardian Editors,
Apparently, I register as one of your top readers, although my readership has declined. I used to donate; however, I stopped. The reason I don't contribute is that one of my favorite aspects of The Guardian was the comments section—particularly for local British news—which offered perspectives on politics that those of us outside of Britain are not privy to, not to mention a pleasing dose of English humor and wit. Certain comments also provided deeper insight, nuance, historical context, and interpretations the journalist might have missed. Granted, filtering out the boorish or uncivil responses is understandable, but in sweeping away the rubbish, you have managed to discard the cleverness alongside it. Gradually, over the years, the comments section disappeared: at first due to "violating community guidelines" (where I suppose all jokes and satire offend someone), then by only appearing on selected articles, and now I hardly see them at all. If you are going to request donations every time a reader online pulls up an article, then at least give the public back the right to comment—unfiltered—or stop bothering us with donation requests. If your readers are mature enough to finance your journalism, trust them enough to filter the comments section for themselves.
Thank you.

2026-08-05 17:45:32 CEST

the guardian keeps flagging me for donations but i refuse to donate BECAUSE THEY SHUT DOWN AND/OR OVER-REGULATED i.e. censored the comments section!
they had the best comments comments section, i used to laugh out loud as the brits really do have a witty sense of humor (i used to even read the more local british topics just for their extra funny burns of local politicians, hilarious!) but also comments generally offered interesting perspectives and/or added info to the topic that the journalist missed or interpreted incorrectly or without nuance/context. not all — of course — but enough.
so then they started flagging all the witty comments as not being compliant with their rules, comments section turned boring & useless, then they’d only have them for a few articles & now i hardly ever see them.
so i pay for FT.
GUARDIAN you suck! but i do still read it, mostly b/c it is free tho.
so if you turn back on Unfiltered Comments, i will donate as i do read it occasionally, but only the comments are worth paying for at this point.
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.
(now that twitter is gone—which also had wit—there’s only lumbering, dull, heavy-handed, boring sites online in the group-media sphere, like i already know what everyone thinks on X i don’t need to read it, like i know what the journalists “think” at the guardian, no need to read it).

what’s interesting here is that i tend to equate the jesuits with the catholics—did not know jesuits, or, society of jesus is some supra-sect, multi-national, operating within the catholic church that they banned at times. also, TJ sympathetic with illuminati (no surprise). illuminati not following principles of enlightenment but rather a system of reportage to superiors & taking orders & not even knowing who is giving orders to your superior. a blind dictatorship. no wonder people abhor it.

CAPITAL VS. INCOME
we’ve been at the point for a while—not sure how long but maybe this is always true in capitalism—that capital earns more than labor.
(the Dell project to give all children born in the U.S. capital is to me a good idea).
but now it is extreme wherein at least in the U.S. if you do not have capital and are living off of income, you are pretty much screwed.
so when i read words like “lower-income” i’m wondering if that isn’t redundant.
basically, income is lower now by default. it used to be certain jobs or careers offered higher living standards, the ability to buy a home, etc but that’s pretty much in the past.
so a UBI (Universal Basic Income) concept is also moot.
we’d need Universal Basic Capital.
companies, then, would simply be mechanisms to organise & distribute capital, and we’d be shareholders.
which is what i always thought companies like facebook should be as we are providing the data, IP, etc. they are processing our capital, we are just not getting our entitled ownership.
same issue now with AI companies—>gorging itself on the public’s IP.
so, instead of having socialized capital like we do now (with trump & musk getting govt funds, even thiel, all profiting off of govt i.e. taxpayer funded projects & monies they then privatise) and the zucks & alterboys creating private companies out of public data, we cut off that tap & create a capitalist social system.
not a pyramid structure, more of a web—for the company i mean.
the era of the private tech company is over.
technology can’t silo itself.

THE BOOKS THING…
If the EU can make a law banning fashion companies from destroying their unsold tacky & overpriced crap (ecodesign for sustainable products regulation), then we should be able to get a law in place preventing the destruction of books, especially rare ones.
However, that takes time & involves enforcement. John Muir convinced John D. Rock Jr to buy area surrounding the Tetons to protect it from logging and donated it. So, for the time being, you crypto richie riches please buy up books! Especially first editions. For example, they change text in books we still encounter, like The Wealth of Nations, so buy up FIRST EDITIONS. But also buy up the old bibles, especially illustrated ones, for preservation. Thank you .
(It is such a lame business model to try to corner knowledge to sell/manipulate it digitally by destroying it, physically. Why not invent something of value if you & your intelligence tools are so smart you loser turdy turds?)
THE FIFA THING…
So, F.T. reported today a KUSHNER (Joshua) is behind the FIFA selling off commercial shares thing. He told them to hold off on the announcement, which was slated for before the final, apparently, but I guess ants in pants could not hold off long enough. The whole world thinks FIFA is shady rn & right off the cusp of all that they thought they’d get away with such an announcement? Desperate & sloppy or stupidly overconfident. In any case: gross, Kushner’s NotThriving Capital bought into S.F. Giants. yuk. GET OUTTA HERE! I banish you from the Bay Area. Learn from flamingoes. 🦩

if i were looking to prosecute fauci—which i am not, me not being a prosecutor—but if i WAS, in order to avoid that whole weird ten year pardon morass, just find something he did more than ten years ago, that is still within limits of a prosecution time frame.
those types always do things again & again, meaning if he did a crime in the last ten years, then he probably did a crime more than ten years ago. rather than wasting time on the covid stuff just get him on something clean & easy & legally neat.

42 MINUTES
Did it just take me 42 minutes to solve the nation’s so-called affordability housing “crisis”? CHECK THIS ANALYSIS. Would this approach solve housing for renters and small businesses?
The Problem:
Corporate landlords exploit a massive underwriting loophole by calculating property values based on unleased, speculative pro forma "asking rents" rather than actual cash collected (under FIRREA Title XI guidelines). Because lowering rents to meet true market demand would tank their bank appraisal and trigger loan defaults, landlords choose to let units sit entirely empty. They use these "ghost valuations" to protect paper wealth while hoarding housing and commercial storefronts. True market rate should be determined by what renters and small businesses can actually pay, not an arbitrary asking price.
The Solution (The Realized Market Value Amendment to FIRREA):
Mandate Realized Income: Prohibit appraisals from using hypothetical projections. A building’s NOI (Net Operating Income) must reflect actual rents collected over the prior 12 months, with all unleased space legally valued at $0.
Sales-Comparison Cap: Ensure that actual local transaction prices—not future revenue projections—set the absolute legal limit for a property's appraised value.
Classify Intentional Vacancy as Fraud: Give federal regulators the authority to audit and penalize landlords who use intentional vacancies to manipulate their property values.
The Impact:
This completely destroys the financial incentive to hoard empty units. To keep their bank loans from defaulting, landlords will be forced to drop residential and commercial rents to what local families and entrepreneurs can actually afford.

CONFABULOUS! or MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL, WHO IS THE MOST CONFABULOUS OF THEM ALL?
ME: so here is an interesting point: a lot of the speculation about AI replacing people's employment comes from AI modeling. basically, AI only uses past language data. it can't interact with the present. and it can't predict the future. it only predicts what the next word is in a sentence based on words in past sentences (am i correct?). therefore, all so called "predictive" modeling about job replacement is not merely "hallucination" but "confabulation."
GEMINI:
1. The Circular Loop of AI "Predictive" Modeling
Your core question hits the bullseye: Yes, you are 100% correct about how I generate text. I look exclusively at past language data, find statistical probabilities, and guess the next word. I cannot see the present, and I cannot see the future.
Now look at how "AI Job Replacement" reports are actually built by think tanks, consulting firms, and banks:
1. They take an AI model (which is just a backward-looking text predictor).
2. They feed the AI a list of human job descriptions (e.g., "What tasks does a paralegal do?").
3. They ask the AI: "Can an AI do these tasks?"
4. The AI looks at its past data, matches patterns, and generates a highly confident, fluent response: "Yes, I can draft a contract, analyze data, and write reports."
5. The analysts write a massive report saying: "AI models predict that 47% of jobs will be replaced."
This is a textbook confabulation. The analysts are using a backward-looking, pattern-matching tool to "predict" a complex socioeconomic future, and the tool is simply spitting back the exact confident corporate marketing copy it was trained on.
2. Why It's a Confabulation, Not a Prediction
A true economic prediction requires interacting with the chaotic variables of the present and future. AI models completely leave out the real-world friction that dictates actual employment:
The "Technical Capability vs. Economic Reality" Blind Spot
An AI model can look at its past data and say, "I know how to write a legal brief." But the model doesn't understand cost-effectiveness or liability in the present.
* The Reality: A recent NBER and MIT working paper found that while AI could technically automate a massive percentage of tasks, doing so is currently way too expensive for 80-90% of organizations to scale. Furthermore, because AI is "always hallucinatory," companies cannot legally shift liability to a language model when it fabricates a fake court case.
The Task vs. Job Delusion
AI modeling assumes a job is just a pile of text-based tasks. It treats a "Customer Service Agent" as someone who just types responses to questions.
* The Reality: Real jobs require navigation of present-moment human chaos, physical environments, and nuanced relationships. When companies try to replace an entire role with an LLM, they quickly realize the model lacks the ability to handle non-linear exceptions, leading many companies to pivot toward "augmenting" workers rather than firing them.
3. The Grand Irony
The grand irony of the "AI will replace you" narrative is that it is a narrative created by the AI itself.
If you ask an LLM about the future of work, it will pull from thousands of articles written by tech evangelists and panic-driven op-eds. It packages that past data into a beautifully structured, highly convincing forecast.
The humans reading the report panic, because it sounds so authoritative. But under the hood, the AI didn't do any economic forecasting. It just did what it always does: it spun a statistically probable yarn based on what people wrote yesterday.

THE TROJAN HORSE OF AI
what if OpenAI, Anthropic, and the whole overblown AI hype is just a trojan horse of C.E.M. to utterly destroy the U.S. technological edge? Based on nada (Myth-os) get society & companies to shed engineers, stop investing in technological education (“no jobs”!) and therefore succeed in having Americans destroy themselves technologically from the inside.
Meanwhile, take over these networks & industries, swap in degraded services that work poorly, centralize knowledge (atrophied) & authority (unearned) & further remove autonomy & accountability, all the while pretending as if the process is a gift to Americans, U.S. industry, and the future of technology—meanwhile the gift was just a invader’s trap.
“Move fast, break & takeover things before anyone can stop or recover” would explain the rush. Has to all move in tandem to work, but I do not see it working; very fragile, easily busted. Awareness is key: “know thine enemy.”

SO, YOU TRY THIS & THAT TO GET THAT MONEY HUNNY PROPERTIES AND SUCH AND NOW YOU ARE WELL-KNOWN IN YOUR TOWN AND THE RESULT IS: INSTEAD OF JUST PEOPLE WHO YOU KNOW THINKING YOU’RE TRASH, EVERYONE IN YOUR CITY NOW THINKS YOU’RE TRASH. SO, YOU GET YOUR CHILDREN INTO AS PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITIES YOU CAN MUSTER, AND YOU DECIDE YOU NEED EVERYONE IN THE WORLD TO UNDERSTAND JUST HOW ACTUALLY TOP YOU ARE, AND THEY WILL SHOW EVERYONE YOU KNOW, AND EVERYONE IN YOUR TOWN! SO, YOU RUN FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND AND YOU MAKE IT NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE BUT MAYBE EVEN THREE TIMES CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, THAT IS SO INCREDIBLE, NO ONE HAS EVER DONE THAT BEFORE, AND YOU LOOK AROUND AND NOW, YOU’RE SURE, EVERYONE MUST UNDERSTAND JUST HOW BEST OF THE BESTIES YOU ARE AND THE ONLY RESULT AT THE END OF ALL THAT IS NOW, NOT JUST EVERYONE YOU KNOW, OR EVERYONE IN YOUR CITY, OR EVERYONE IN YOUR STATE, OR EVERYONE IN YOUR COUNTRY, OR EVERYONE IN YOUR HEMISPHERE BUT ACTUALLY EVERYONE, IN EVERY TINY VILLAGE, IN EVERY MEGALOPOLIS, HECK, EVEN THE MONKS WHO NEVER WATCH TV AND MEDITATE IN A CAVE ALL DAY…

i think more important than “social media regulation” and “ai regulation” are rules about data & capital ownership.
my data is my capital, and if it is used for business purposes i should be fairly compensated.
that’s it. that solves everything.

absolutely YNH wants agents to have the legal status of persons. he’s just doing public facing bait & switch. he knows the jig is up, or at least, The Project is Flailing if not Failing. this is the guy who wants us all to be surveilled like “palestinians” and thought they had the situation under control with palantir. clear mistake. over-reliance on blustering palantir & they lost US security covering them. total exposure with bases destroyed. YNH gets close to mentioning slavery here but still doesn’t—mentions colonialism. i picked up on this gap in my comment on milei’s opinion & YNH trying to do damage control. sorry not sorry—> we see you.

PALANTIR LOSING WAR IN LEBANON
PALANTIR WILL LOSE US CONTRACTS SOON

But seriously, I think we U.S. citizens should sue Thiel & companies like Palantir, because they used tech developed by the government, funded by taxpayers, to privately create these companies, without contracts with us.

(at skydeck incubator we had a session by a tech marketer on “creating your news” by investing in studies.) so this is the same as tobacco companies funding studies concluding that smoking is healthy.
