Anaxagoras said to a man who was grieving because he lay dying in a foreign land, “The descent to hell is the same from every place.”

- How are things going to work in a few years when there is a major shortage of skilled and experienced people in every field because we decided we don’t need junior people in any field?A partner at a prominent law firm told me “AI is now doing work that used to be done by 1st to 3rd year associates. AI can generate a motion in an hour that might take an associate a week. And the work is better. Someone should tell the folks applying to law school right now.”
- At some point it needs to be recognized that these so-called “tech bros” aren’t actually coming from STEM. They are coming from business schools. They employ STEM grads who will build you whatever dumb shit you ask, but a lot of STEM people have no illusions about this stuff.I'm serious. STEM without the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities will produce more "innovative" tech bros who giddily reinvent rent, roommates, taxes, and now...roller skates. With complete, straight-faced, sincerity. This is a problem. And I have a list (So, thread 🧵)
- Replying to @RosasCatMimiI just really hate thinking about living in the world we are going to live in in 5 to 10 years. Every institution, every organization you’ll interact with with be less capable, every piece of software less reliable
- Replying to @liviebateman and @impossiblyeveEven worse when it’s like ‘we are so happy, we’ve been trying for moooonths’
- Do ppl who advocate things like this genuinely not feel like they’ve ever benefitted from being made to do a hard thing they would have otherwise avoided? In their entire life?I think what's cool about school abolition specifically is it's easy to envision changes pretty much immediately on seizing power - why would there be mandatory attendance under a DotP? Why would teachers maintain authority over anyone? We could do away with that right away.
- Replying to @RosasCatMimiJust an utter and obvious Faustian bargain all society is simultaneously taking with AI right now.
- Shout out to Historical Materialism editors for allowing this pithy title, 10/10 no notes.
- For years left wing historians have been raising the alarm about the implicit holocaust denial of the Tim Synder/Anne Applebaum ‘Stalin and Hitler as equal and opposite evils’ school, and we are really seeing that vindicated right now.
- Whether you are a pro or anti banana socialist comes solely down to whether or not you have even a vague sense of the material process for the production and distribution of banana crop.Replying to @nukedwestwhy can’t Global Communism handle the trade of bananas across the ocean tho
- This discourse is so funny after reading Freud, who thought seeing your parents have sex was not just not uncommon but so routine as to be a factor in normal psychological developmenti want you guys to know being exposed to anything sexual at a young age can very often lead to hypersexuality. it's not fun and it just happens suddenly so now you have to deal with it for a huge chunk of your life. sometimes you can't even control it. spare your children people.
- Replying to @RosasCatMimiLike I genuinely wish I could get these four frames together
