Joe actually asks a good question. The problem is every fucking word out of Pete’s mouth. Stuff like wind mills are I think he says “visual pollution”, Greta Thunberg is more dangerous then nuclear holocaust or nukes or something, double blind studies are evil or something etc.

Actually Joe asks two good question one about science not being science if it’s called science and one on why left-wing charity is so evil.
A nuclear holocaust might be the end of Homo sapiens, but somewhere in some shielded vault there could be left some hard disk that, if only anyone were left to read it, still contains the name Peter Thiel and a large number after it. Whereas Greta Thunberg might make that number slightly less. 
From the comments:
I just posted her April 1st post (which I get daily in my email) and hour ago. I went to my FB page and it is not there, nor is there an explanation of why it might have been removes.
ETA: Just checked personally and her posts are once again visible on her page. I don’t see one for April 1st, but she might not have bothered posting that one to facebook.
She did. That’s where I copied it from this morning. It wasn’t on her page, and instead showed up in my regular feed. Fuckbook is still fucking with her posts.
Oh hey, didn’t Google used to have an Ethics in AI team devoted to this sort of problem?
I wonder what happened to them?
Huh. I’m sure that’s a coincidence.
In the name of efficiency.
This week’s free episode is all about William Rees Mogg and James Dale Davidson’s book “the sovereign individual,” which describes a wonderful world in which fifty rich men live in armoured citadels and everyone else scrapes a living off the land. Do not become addicted to water, my friends!
Yep Jacob Rees-Mogg’s dad was very very weird guy.
Jason Meyers founded ICERAID and is attempting to outsource immigration enforcement intelligence gathering to the public by encouraging them to upload photos of crime with token incentives utilizing Solana’s blockchain and Phantom wallet.

The essay [Yarvin’s] brims with false dichotomies, logical inconsistencies, half-baked metaphors, and allusions to genocide. It careens from Romanian tractor factories to Harvard being turned “into dust. Into quarks” with the coherence of a meth-addled squirrel.
It’s astounding to me that these violent, bigoted, cruel dipshits keep getting hailed as fucking genius visionaries that we should all take seriously - especially outside of their fields. Someone doing something with computers does not fucking mean they are good–not just GOOD, but fucking GENIUS–at literally everything else. Sure, there are tons of interesting and complicated problems within the field that demands a sharp mind. So do other fields of labor… pretty much any more field of knowledge and labor is going to have it’s own kind of complicated systems that demands life-long study… Being good in one place does not mean you’re good at something else. It literally just means you’re good at the thing.
Yarvin and his shitty ilk believes and markets himself as philosophical visionary. Fuck that noise. He’s a bigoted, classist, cruel piece of shit that no one should listen to on anything… we already tried fascism. It did not do shit to deliver anything to anyone other than mass death. Fascism is nothing more than a fucking death cult and everything ends up bending towards that. The fact that Yarvin doesn’t understand or care about that reality speaks volumes.
Has this guy even been a huge success in his field? It doesn’t look like it.
Edit:
It looks like his professional product is a message board.
Dark Enlightenment guru sees his desired revolution unraveling under the weight of its own stupidity
Well, that sounds good. As long as the unraveling doesn’t do too much damage as it unravels. I suppose though that the damage will take many years to repair, if repair is even possible. Good thing I know a few things about growing some of my own food.
First , the government needs to be run top-down from the Oval Office. This is why we call it the “executive” branch. “Executive” is a literal synonym of “monarchical”—from “mono,” meaning “one,” and “archy,” meaning “regime.” “Autocratic” is fine too. The “executive branch” is the “autocratic branch,” or should be if English is English. Libs: if these words don’t mean what they mean, what do they mean?
The fuck garbled bs is that?
Executive isn’t a synonym of monarchical unless you believe that somehow “exe” means one and “cutive” means regime (to use his own unscientific terminology). This is cargo cult etymology.
The “executive branch” is the “autocratic branch
Yeah? Because you can only execute something you have decided yourself? So why are soldiers expected to execute others’ orders? Really, an army should only consist of generals, in Yarvin’s world
Libs: if these words don’t mean what they mean, what do they mean?
The fucking irony!
