The percentage of sociopaths involved with creating a society should never be greater than zero.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

- Comment on Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles' 4 weeks ago:
4320p video makes as much sense as 96kHz audio. Both have a legitimate role in capture and creation, but a vanishingly minuscule role at the point of playback and consumption.

- Comment on It's barely a science. 5 weeks ago:
Another way I often frame my perspective on this is:
Economics is the social control mechanism that filled the void vacated by religion after the Enlightenment.
Mythology was replaced with finance.
… Churches with banks.
… Clergy with economists.
… God with GDP.I don’t see either as inherently problematic systems, but their lack of rigorous foundational attachment to reality informs my argument that they should be applied as subservient tools, as opposed to their current role as dominant, dictatorial weapons.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 5 weeks ago:
A distinction without a difference. Lobbying and propaganda are basically the prophesizing and scripture of politics.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 5 weeks ago:
Economics, as an intellectual discipline, is closer to theology than physics. Its power is proportional to the belief it commands.
Finance is an arbitrary subset of mathematics, cherry picked to retroactively support a given economic model, and applied as its supporting mythology.
It’s entirely imaginary, which means alternatives are only ever a conjuring away.

How do you put a kill switch on the radioactive asbestos being deliberately whisked into the code base?
Anyone who frames LLMs as AI is complicit in the grift, and their opinions should be summarily ignored and ridiculed.

A healthy, well educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

- Comment on Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video] 2 months ago:
Economics, as an intellectual discipline, is closer to theology than physics. Much like religion being arbitrary rules cherry picked from schizophrenic Bronze Age fan fiction, current economic models are built as narratives manufactured to justify the existence, position, and legitimacy of a ruling class. Finance is merely mythology shrouded in enough mathematic formulas provide the appearance of a natural, universal legitimacy.
Capitalism is absolutely the problem, but I don’t consider replacing it with something else, or eliminating it to be a viable response. My biggest problem with capitalism, and all economic systems, is the lack of consent. Capitalism should be tolerated only when conducted by those who have actively chosen to be exposed to it. Let them play in an air tight bubble where they have to recycle their competitively manufactured farts.
- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts.. 2 months ago:
The resources they’re exhausting aren’t the physical components, it’s the production capacity.
The shit being fed into this ‘AI’ grift will have very limited reuse potential when their universe implodes.
What we’re seeing is a confluence of unconstrained parasitic consumption, and artificially constrained cartel production.
The parallels I see are with OPEC in 1973. JEDEC have found themselves in a position of power at the choke point of a Crucial industry, and are leveraging it to maximise profit and influence.
Unions of individuals are good for society, cartels of corporations are carcinogenic.
