The only place that going Nazi is a "justified" response to left-wing criticism is inside a Nazi's head. It's fucking Nazis. It's not even a good career move, because Nazis are shit friends who will try and pressure you into saying and doing the racist shit that they want you to say or do and they'll ditch you the minute you stop.
If anything them and their shagging private planes are driving down the chance of human civilization surviving as they will forestall effective climate action. If you successfully defeat AI/wokeism/California democrats but fail to deal with rising global temperatures, you'll have done nothing but rearrange the deckchairs on the titanic.
not really relevant, but: a quote from an interview with hard-living 60s rock band the Pretty Things:
"..microdosing LSD [is] a practice May thinks may have been invented by a keyboard player who performed with the band in the 70s. “He used to have a little lick of acid every morning while standing on his head, doing his yoga exercises.” And did it help him psychologically, as latterday devotees of microdosing claim it can? “Well, no, not really,” sighs May. “He went pretty loony, to be honest.”"
Way before Disney. Le Corbusier. The Garden City movement. It goes back to the Renaissance, really.
Napoleon III appointed Haussmann to redesign Paris, and he did a good job (although some aspects of the design were intended to prevent civil unrest). But Paris was already a major city. They didn't decide to build a totally new capital 60 miles from Paris. I guess St. Petersburg is a closer analogy?
A sidenote: the brothers who made Stripe are involved. One of them (John I think?) was complaining on Twitter recently about all the unnecessary "environmental red tape" in Ireland.
Wouldn't there be a negative feedback loop where the genetically prone to illness can only get crap insurance and due to crap healthcare die younger and live more unhealthy years, which makes them poorer? And their kids can also only get crap insurance due to loss of generational wealth and/or inherited disease until eventually family members are dying of diseases of poverty?
And a positive feedback loop for the healthy middle classes, whose sick kids get improved care?
This reminds me of that incredibly long series of blog posts by slime mold time mold that claimed that the rise in obesity and associated medical issues in the US was caused by lithium pollution in US waterways and food chains. Their solution to this allergen problem was no, not to demand regulation of lithium mining, no, not to lobby for lithium heavy sites to be given superfund cleanups.... But to move to a high altitude state where there would be less lithium in the water supply. Really.
Same business model of every tech startups of the late 20 years - use investor cash to pull through years of making no money until you either crash & burn or eliminate all traditional competition and can start charging customers bullshit prices
So the cars are running people over and drifting between lanes on purpose? I suppose if I woke up and realised I was a Tesla car, I'd develop homicidal impulses too.
Altman mentions the Social Network as a film that inspired people to start tech startups. I haven't seen the film, but the Social Network is also quite critical about startups and tech bros, isn't it?
