Right they hate these straw people. I mean, I;m not going to say my own cognitive projection of “conservative” is 100% accurate, but at least my nightmare scenarios are about actual bad things happening, and not like conservative nightmares of genetically inferior people getting to enjoy the gifts of civilization.

- Comment on YSK that only by being yourself will you find people who like the real you. No one can beat you at being you, but you’ll only ever be second best at pretending to be someone else. 1 week ago:
This comes up a lot, and the comments for these posts always get mired in the complexities of for whom and forwhence and forwhicontext this is good advice.
Basically, there are people for whom this is really fire advice (like people who are unnecessarily repeating quirky aspects of their otherwise lovely personalities), and people for whom this is really bad advice (like people who need to stay hidden for safety, or jerks).
Broad, overlapping categories with many dimensions. Not really something you can wrap up in a prescriptive axiom.

Wow what a wretched collection of individuals. These assholes can’t all possibly be in agreement with each other — don’t you wonder if they aren’t given pause by some of the company they’re stacked next to?
Like if I was giving a speech somewhere and Elon Musk, for example, had just delivered his I’d start to suspect I wasn’t on the right side of things, let alone in the best of company…

I’m sensing a pattern.
No but seriously, the psychopathic allure of leadership (Forbes, sry just the first link I found) is leading to civilization scale decisions which are 1) out of sync with what a reasonable person wants, 2) counter to general human flourishing.
Tech leadership wants us to worry about potential ethical “alignment issues” with a theoretical AGI, but we’re already in crisis if those leading us don’t share our basic human values.
PS. I’m not trying to say psychopaths nonghuman. They’re the same species and probably as conscious as I am. I just don’t think they’re an apt choice to decide matters for humans who do have empathy. Imagine a chef with no sense of taste running a restaurant kind of deal.

You’re speculating that an internet wouldn’t have emerged without capitalism. Capitalism exists, therefore we can’t know if that’s true or not.
