Truth Serum
My apologies for repeating myself repeatedly.
I had a difficult time between Dec 2011 and now. I am caught up wrt anything I was receptive to anyway.
I see absolutely no way around filing some very serious complaints and very much when they are things that slide in these societies as respectable.
I lead a relatively sheltered existence. I was an only child with affectionate, educated, middleclass parents here in India. I am amicably divorced from another DUer and aside from a sleazy though strangely elite EECS dept essentially defrauding me in 2000-2001 and similar forces showing up again in 2011, I have lead an unremarkable life.
I am tidying up and getting geared up for a neater initiation of pushback. I don’t like any collateral damage. And it certainly isn’t about me. I don’t take things personally, but when you are - look, I don’t know how it works when
I would have liked faux pariahs like Paul Ehrlich not this brainless and kinda sleazy bs around immigration or work that is cruel all around.
I was an NIH postdoc. I never saw (local to me in that nw) anyone get ahead who did not deserve it. I like the scientists and doctors I personally know.
But collectively I would imagine it would all be dubious and precarious.
I will wait and pushback fully but properly. I was not asleep per se. But time and information have the effect of changing the human brain and at least making separation of meum and tuum easy.
When (with all due respect and all) one wants to essentially truly divorce a subset of humanity (a small enough one adjusted for circumstances in context) -the typically pseudoelite etc.
My identity during hours is that of the publicly funded or now unfortunately citizen scientist who already had a civilized model of the world from a time when absolutely no crisis was ongoing (mid-2011).
I was watching Yasha Levine and he was talking about information and organization. I do not think that with these many damn humans, except in some limited or narrow ways, it is possible for useful organization that is anything but constantly scrambling for solutions.
The human mind cannot generate genuinely deep predictions or hopeful scenarios to shoot for when the imagination is this stifled.
I am not saying you couldn’t get humans to meaningfully organize. But for that it is not just enough to reject the models of the world these guys (all of them creepy sleazy profligates and bandits who would consider redtube, pervertsunited etc. a valid part of the engine of economy) provide.
But reject one’s own old assumptions and connect the real world to symbols and meaning. I an not sure that what is coming through these things is information.
But I am sure that we are a species these guys have turned into our worst selves.
When I zoom out and look at this reality, it really looks like, if you bought into the manyworlds theory or Scifi like “If I had not met you” or “The Discovery” and the stuff Quanta Magazine publishes a lot, a picture of reality
where the dumbest and crassest kids in class (a fusion of all cultures taking the worst from each that samples just this one goddamn part of reality (
🍆
taking time and energy away from far less creepy hobbies: 
.
Can you believe the goddamn creeps and perverts are trying to take childfree stoners hostage and that is like this underreported social scourge? Other people have covered various other outrages..
I don’t know…I think one is supposed to
(quantum darwinism, neural darwinism but never social darwinism as that is an example of how these guys mangle science. I am not surprised that a bullshit field that is all about perverts banging people and having fruitful loins (🤮🤢
..I do my part to shutdown the perverts every which way) like “Evolutionary Psychology” has more sway (Hat tip to Lyta Gold) than Evolutionary Biology.
These guys are one part Intelligent Design and Creationism and one part this specific men’s rights form of Evol Bio.
And it is all filmed so your survival strategies are on display and if that has to be the case, they still have to work as survival strategies.
It is why I get Matt Stoller and why Lina Khan is one of my favorite public officials the way Yasha Levine and Christopher Ketcham are my favorite jorunalists.
I only try to just survive not go along with stuff I know would destroy my life whether people bought into or not.
I am in the middle and i dont want cheap plastic shit and to lead a delusional life where I think that my destructive bullshit job is meritocratic (!!!!) with religion and toys to distract me from the deep hopelessness of an uncompromisingly stupid worldview with a truly commendable “Little Engine that Won’t Stop” zealous commitment to this mindnumbingly suicidal and inane implementation of an industrial society that seems to consider crassness, theatre etc “Just the way the world is”.
I am not for the growth of this clunky piece of crap. But well..I should be clear that it is because it looks like an attempt to turn every place into a creepy slum/sweatshop/brothel and that is irreconcilable with a modern society where women have equal rights and access and do not see constantly creepy social engineering and bogus games and privacy invasions for everyone but some violating, mediocre and parasitic tech and its shills as any sort of inevitable conclusion.
I always hated this reality..from the time I was a child. Too overpopulated, no respect for either the earth or science (except as a means to tawdry goodies absent any philosophy).
They have destroyed education, brainwashed those with some rot hard skills and well okay..
But not with my home, assets, devices etc. Locally I mistrust everything but my oncologist. My parents and family would absolutely avoid this sort of stuff. No one in our life - well off or poor, is this classless. And I try to be tactful, but only to the point where people at least engage honestly when you tell them to get out of your house asap after providing you with necessary explanations needed to complain. Not make this a thing or celebrate it.
This was entirely creepy and extortionate so far from my vantage point and I will abort it, but carefully. It is better when I am honest over spin this along.
