Them: heard any bangers lately? Me (a parent): oh hell yeah, do you know this one? I can’t get it out of my head

Pluribus on apple Apple TV is fucking great. It’s an anti communist/collectivist sci fi show by the Vince Gilligan the creator of Breaking Bad. Check it out.

I was reading The Beginning Of Infinity and it was breaking my brain. Then I was like why is thinking so fucking painful? Deutsche’s work made me realize that we mistake coherence for truth because our brains are optimized for simulation, not verification. But if we compress reality by creating better explanations, we can re-simulate it more accurately and edge closer to truth. This hurts because it breaks the old coherence. Every new insight like a neural demolition. Essentially the mind grows by breaking and reforming itself over and over again. Which is why real thinking is unpleasant, because it’s a process that if done in earnest destroys parts of your own mind. But nothing new can form in your mind without this painful fracturing. This means that collapse is necessary for renewal. And if it’s true on the individual level, then it’s likely true on the collective level as well. Which means we cannot stop what’s coming and further more why would we want to? Because to stop it is to retard progress and our understanding of reality.

The culture war is actually a monetary war

Young disenfranchised white guys getting together and deciding they needed to do identity politics because every other group in the country was ethnically tribal was the absolute easiest prediction I ever made during the woke era. And now it’s come true.

You know it’s a good day when you get a @M A D E X in the mail.

I keep feeling this dread that A.I + surveillance + drone warfare is going to unleash unspeakable horrors on the world sometime in the next twenty years. And just like WW2 it will be precipitated by economic collapse.

I have a female cousin who is like this, needless to say we don’t speak anymore lol 😂

At this point I’ve come to the unfortunate conclusion that every brave man who gave his life fighting for America died for nothing.

My father was a first amendment attorney and my mother was a schizophrenic. I have never met anyone else in life who had this pairing lol

Anarcho capitalism is a good goal and likely a necessary evolution in humanity, but the only way we can get there is by solving problems. Mainly technologically. No political means will ever create this reality. Which is why we are so centered around cypherpunkism.

This is the moment everything changes
