Gaza is a pile rubble. No one can live there for a decade. And settlers are doing ethnic cleansing every day for the last 70 years. Wake up.

Lol That asshole hardcoded X to promote his own stupid tweets. If you think X code is neutral, you are in deep trouble.

@Alex4 Good! Spoken like a man who's done it.

Netanyahu wants all this. This is his dream. He was waiting for an excuse to finish the ethnic cleansing work.

The whole population is in an ethno-nationalist patriotic frenzy after Oct 7th. You don't gotta be a settler to want revenge. The hornet nest has been kicked. Remember how Americans were after 9/11? Except this is much worse because Jews are much more paranoid, self-righteous, self-propagandized, and attached to their identities. They are in a genocidal mood and making decisions from that place. It will take them years to awaken from this trance.

We knew long before Musk that all these platforms and tech companies need regulation.

This does not happen. Iran was never Orange.

You can see it accurately describes most people's level of development, especially at Tier 1. Tier 2 gets problematic.

I don't buy it. You can't go through that many stages that quickly.

The whole legal world hinges on the participants believing that laws are objective.

Tis hard to get a man to understand a thing when his job depends on him not understanding it.

Yes. Absolutely! SD is problematic, especially at Tier 2. Are you?

If people would stop acting it I would stop using it.

Anyone here from Florida? Let us know how it's going. Seems like a bad one. Watch out for flying crocodiles.

This not what I am proposing. That is a mockery of sense-making and truth-seeking.

@bambi Stop inflamming these threads. You keep doing it.

I've said enough. You figure out the rest.

Google does lot of evil monopolistic stuff. What the founders do it irrelevant. It is a monster beyond their control. Musk is funding Trump. Fuck him and all this techno bullshit.

What a name.

Yes, that's the best way to go about it. Endless survival pressure.

They are getting more and more evil every year as they run out of ideas but the survival pressure remains endless.

The most important insight I had about that, is that when you run a public company you are effectively taking on the endless survival attachment. You're not just attached to the survival of all your employees, but all the stockholders. This effectively makes it impossible to ever break free from survival because you have infinite mouths to feed endlessly. In a small private company you can transcend survival by earning enough to feed a small number of mouths. But with a public company this is impossible because all your investors demand endless increasing growth. Which is equivalent to endless pressure to do evil. No amount of evil is ever enough in such a system. So the #1 thing you must do to avoid evil is not make your business publicly traded.

I don't see a systemic solution. Mankind is in still in the dark ages and will be for a long time. Individually you can try to minimize your involvement in it, but that won't scale to most people. Ultimately you gotta accept your pig-like nature.

The more I study, the more I realize how utterly corrupt mankind and all its systems are. Running a public company is completely antithetical to consciousness and morality. Anyone involved in that work is utterly delusional and corrupt. If you weren't they would fire you. There is no room for truth, consciousness, or morality at those levels of power. It's all about survival.
