  • I met a guy preaching the carnivore diet bullshit. He was actually a pretty nice dude, not a right winger just fell for the silly carrots are poison nonsense. I didn't even bother to point out bioaccumulation / biomagnification, I was too preoccupied trying to understand where these insanely stupid ideas come from. I heard through our mutual friend he abandoned those ideas.

    There is definately overlap with political chicanery. Super weird.

  • yeah. I try to give him some grace as a scifi writer with him seeing the sexual revolution in the 60s based on the release of the pill and trying to imagine where the trajectory will end in 50, 100 years when you separate sex from reproduction. Still his take was kinda creepy and gross.

    I think the worst example of him trying to write women was "I Will Fear No Evil". It is an interesting story as it attempts to reconcile sex and gender written from a cis man in the 1970s, but its pretty messed up. I appreciate that he seems to attempt to bring these ideas into mainstream consciousness, I just wonder if he could have done some more research.

  • I have not seen that, I will have to check it out.

    I thought stranger in a strange land would make a great miniseries. I loved that book as a teen. I read it as an adult some years ago and it didn't hit the same way. Still, it could be adapted to an impactful story today. People would learn where grok came from and disassociate it with Musk's racist piece of trash (pisses me off).

  • ok, I just checked. They are using markdown and they have the option to not show it as formatted. Considering this is a very common format (Im using it now to write this comment) and you can view it as plaintext, this is actually a useful feature.

  • It bugs me that there is this generic description of 'files' and I don't think I've heard discussions of what to expect. Funancial records? Client lists? Blackmail material?

    We know big banks helped him by not reporting transactions they were legally required to. If the financial records aren't released it's bullshit. Always follow the money. Name and shame those who proffited from him.
