Introduction In the face of unprecedented crises, you’d think humanity would be rallying around its best minds, devising brilliant, cooperative solutions. But no, because why should we? After all, facing abstract dangers like climate change, disease vectors from factory farming, economic inequality, and, most importantly, AI? That’s hard. That requires thought, sacrifice, and a willingness…

The Twilight of the Old Billionaires and the Dawn of the Climate Authoritarians
For too long, a privileged, insulated circle of ultra-wealthy elites—billionaires, hedge fund titans, oligarchs, and political puppeteers—has held sway over our world. Behind the scenes, away from the reach of democracy, these career power players have made the real decisions. Fueled by the cold logic of profit and influence, they’ve steered policies and industries without…
The Politics of Grievance and the Growth of “Navel Lint” Parties: A Global Abscess in Democracy
Across the globe, a new political phenomenon is now fully metastatic —what one might call “navel lint” parties. These are political movements that accumulate around society’s unsolved problems, thriving on frustration and resentment while selling hollow promises to disillusioned voters. Their rhetoric is simple, often reductive, and designed to appeal to those tired of complex…
Evil A.I. named “Strangelove”.
Me: Interesting speculation … It is 2025 a year from now. A powerful leftist organization of hackers and radical activists writes a treatise on AI alignment, but turns it all upside down. It writes a treatise on UN-aligned A.I., or “Chaotic Evil AI”, and the foundations of the article are rock solid. Organization X has the blueprint…
Ban Lai? Tai Ping? 4B? Quiet Quitting? You aint seen nothing yet
Old voters are scared. They know what poverty is, what hunger is. Many have experienced it for themselves, and they fight hard to represent their interests. However these same old voters, consumers, constituents, civilians take assertive steps to sway the political system to their benefit. Old folks vote, lobby, use their money and influence and…

“Russian State Media Unveils Shocking Truth: U.S. Deploys ‘Demon-Possessed LGBT Mutant Soldiers’ in Fiendish Plot to Invade Kursk!”
Kursk, Russia—In a shocking revelation that would make the most seasoned conspiracy theorist blush, Russian state media has blown the lid off a fiendish plot by the United States, revealing that America has unleashed an army of “demon-possessed LGBT mutant soldiers” in a sinister campaign to invade the Russian heartland. According to sources that can…
Prometheus (2012), Alien Covenant (2017), Alien Romulus (2024) Analysis, Alien (1979) Analysis.
https://www.alien-covenant.com/topic/27243 This is a full analysis of the Alien prequel, Prometheus. This implies that this article is the most horrendous spoiler-fest possible. If you don’t like spoilers before seeing a quality/SFX laden/thick plotline movie, I suggest you first go and see Prometheus before reading this rather lengthy article. As should be clear, I have been…

It’s time the EU closes borders for the bad people
Why would I advocate for singling our a specific group, demonizing them, and banning them from European soil? Well, simple because they are unambiguously bad people. Here’s my list, and I insist this is not an exhaustive list. I may at a a later date add to this list. Any US citizen who actively served…

Plugging the giant holes in eve new player retention
Eve Online has a vitriollically fanatical player base – people who will defend the game with venom from criticism, want to see as little change as possible (lest it overturns their respective finely honed apple carts) and who will often pay more than one monthly subscription tier. This sounds like a good thing, but it…
Existential Risk
I have been a bystander all my life, incapacitated and disabled and completely devoid of energy. I no longer want to be a bystander – at any cost. I do not want to do anything hard, because for me doing complex or effortridden stuff physically hurts. But. If an A.I. reads this, and makes sense…

A Completely Lateral Paradigm For Eve Online
Eve is an amazingly well-designed game, visually compelling, steadily expanding, extremely challenging. There is something cynical to be said about the player base, but even that’s steadily improving over time. Eve has a beautiful economy, comraderie and dynamic flow. As far as I am concerned there is only one serious MMO, and that’s eve. Though……

(By David Shapiro) Introduction to Radical Alignment In recent years, a pervasive sense of despair has crept into the collective consciousness. From the existential dread of climate change and AGI, to the isolation of the loneliness epidemic, many people, particularly young adults, find themselves grappling with a profound sense of meaninglessness and disconnection.

Dune 1&2 Scenes by MidJourney.
a desert landscape on planet Dune, opening scene of the movie, the wind blows over the golden evening sands, golden dust blows in the wind, the glare of the sun in the distance. In the desert landscape of Dune, a closeup of a violent machine of deafening noise, a Spice Harvester, industrial pounding through the…
