  This is some gourmet humor!
  Like say… Albert Brooks in the 1980s, or Larry David in the 00s.

  Stupid CEOs seem to be stupid suckers/marks for so much “corporate astrology”, mesmerized into a greedy stupid stupor by the same old soothing, stupid magic spell: “more automation… less meatbags…”

  Isn’t it a line of defense against insects?
  “Animals” would be broad enough to be true,
  “Mammals” zoomed in on the wrong kingdom.

  Brilliant!

  Also, I’d like to see this brainiac figure out how to kill many million sperm instead of just one ovum, with a pill. Surely that should be easier, but there’s an anti-woke male patriarchy conspiracy, amirite?

  All you need is a white labcoat, goggles, some vials, a pocket calculator and clipboard and BOOM… Science, Bitch! Surely the “EUREKA!” moment should happen within a couple of months, but it is being kept from us! The male patriarchy is yadda yadda whatever… and here’s an extra yadda for good measure!

  Disclaimer: I had a vasectomy.
  But still, this person is under-educated in the same school system that spits out maga-types on the opposite side of the political spectrum.

  This is yet another symptom of the severe under-education that Carl Sagan warned us about in The Demon-Haunted World: Science As A Candle In The Dark. The kind of under-informed, holier-than-thou attitude that lets fascism through the front door, because…
  bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRitE

  The same fascists, religious batshit zealots and incels who want women OUT of schools, OUT of the workplace, they want them IN the kitchen, illiterate, barefoot and pregnant: “That should keep them under our thumb!”
  EXACTLY like it happens now in places like Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.

  When it comes to corporations with a massive market presence, I truly wonder if it’s cheaper in the long run to be honest or to try and fool some of the people all of the time. Because from what I’ve seen in the past few decades, PT Barnum was right.

  It’s almost as if eventually, the corporate executive floors become infected with mindless hollow business school suits (not all, but enough to qualify as some sort of mental plague), reading their idiotic self-motivational guide books, and somewhere along the way they got married to the mantra that “business is war”, mediocre and dense enough to think (if even that) that Akio Morita was also referring to the customers.

  Kind of similar, in many ways, to how now incels and racists eventually convince each other that the problem cannot be in their unwashed, unexamined selves, the problem MUST be women/minorities.

  So maybe we could call them corporate incels. A cartoon version is what we see in American Psycho. A problem with company size is that it will attract the parasites, and they will infect everything they touch.

  I’m on my way up the ladder! Watch me treat customers and their communities as the enemy to be subjugated and betrayed and milked, that’s what the guy from Sony said, amirite? I’m on my way to the 1%, so fuck all of you, I have arrived!

  So you look sideways to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Great question! The very earliest story I can vaguely summon up at the moment was about a hurricane devastating the city of La Paz in Baja California Sur, from Mexican news on television. To pin down any details, I had to look it up, and came up with Hurricane Liza in 1976.

  There was an image that got seared into my brain at the time, but it was probably my very young mind playing tricks on me, watching this report on one of those old, old, OLD small and blurry black-and-white televisions: the image of a dead baby lying face down among the rubble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨one bright second⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yet all this energy and electromagnetic phenomena
  from our very limited vantage point and experiments
  feels like it bathes everything as it decays gradually
  in slow motion, one rung at a time, towards entropy,
  zooming down an exponential thermodynamic curve
  that aims and trends towards zero, beyond our view,
  beyond the horizon, touching infinity itself.
  And here’s the craziest part: the space itself where
  this is all taking place, is accelerating its’ expansion.
