I For One Welcome The Imminent Climate Tyrants
Humanity is not ‘general intelligence’. Intelligence is best defined as the ability to mentally model the future, debate these models for accuity, come to many solutions for problems and choose the best solution. So if we live in a village in a deep valley, the hills above us is all loose soil covered with thick…
Don’t be part of the vindictiveness-industrial complex.
There is a pervasive climate of distrust and resentment of some (not all) working people towards people who for some reason do not work, can not find work or can not work. Depending on the overton window in your particular geographic area, there is variation on how much resentment there is, or what type of…
Capitalist Pig.
Humanity needs planet-wide maximum incomes and maximum levels of permissible private wealth. Above that, tax them at 100%.
Zoltan Istvan declares war on transhumanism.
I respond to this article by Zoltan Itsvan with a blanket rejection. Frankly, I am offended by Zoltan’s consistent lying. Transhumanism—the social movement of merging people with machines & synthetic parts—is turning dangerously hard left. ‘Dangerously’? We have inhabited a century of hard post WW2 repression originating from the US against anything reeking of socialism,…

Finally Upwing Politics? What is it?
First I need to establish what ‘the left’ and ‘the right’ are. I may have to say something about Libertarianism, which leans more to the right in the US, and I need to formulate what would entail the hypothetical (straw man) position of “downwing”. I also need to add that “liberals” in my country are…
The First Global Tyranny
Hypothetical 1 – If tomorrow there’d be a major war between, say, pakistan, india and china, and several nukes would detonate over major cities the consequences would have global effects. Even small nuclear detonations and ensuing firestorms trigger nuclear winter / heat wave cycles lasting years. World wide harvests would fail and there would be…
My message to the Incels
I have been looking at the new memetic complex of ideas, passions and affinities of people who are involved in MRA, Alt Right and MGTOW – and in particular Incels, i.e. “Involuntary Celibate” guys. So what is Incel? Here is a good Vox Populi article. As it turns out these people have been put in…
Climate Change, ca. 2050

The Archetype of the Magician
This is a thing. And it’s pretty bad.
I can safely state I am a fan
Pay attention for 90 minutes, this is really important

Ceres
Ceres by Mieke Roth on Sketchfab Wikipedia Ceres was first permanently settled in 2151 by standard-issue 16228 ton parochial automated pioneer, establishing the Californian Parish Liberty, with a “reduced” crew of five, after a voyage of under 14 months or 35923520 seconds from exit to entry burns. The crew entered a 250km equatorial orbit on…
Intentionally Creating The Most Evil A.I. Possible
There’s a chance the world’s elites will create the most irreversible and disparate future imaginable. One against which protest and revolt is impossible, one that’ll last forever, one where the rich are immortal and beneficiaries of transhuman technology – and where the rest of 99% or so humanity have to worry about getting their daily…
We need to start discussing maximum incomes
This is not working. We need rational boundaries. And yes, those who do not to pay 100% taxes above a certain level should feel encouraged to go live somewhere else. . How much would be enough, for everyone? That’s the simple question that so far lies outside the Overton Window. Few people have given this…
Oh? If you bastards don’t like what I am doing…
There’s an easy way to make me stop. . Want my bank account? Pay me 2000 euro a month*, you pay worker taxes and insurances, and I’ll stop doing it. . Until then, fuck you. I can outlast and out-overton you motherfuckers. . * inflation adjusted, indefinitely.
Automated Progress Suite
Politics and democracy is broken and under assault. But what can we do? How can we make a difference. Individual citizens feel overwhelmed and intimidated and are likely to just give up. But what if we could change that? . Listen, the idea I am putting forward is un-formed, vague and may in some instances…
Intelligent Weapon Technologies are becoming a huge risk.
I demand my politicians do something about this, and soon. Remember – these technologies can easily be used against politicians and civil servants by non state actors. A well-run campaign can easily murder 90% of all politicians in a country, just a decade from now. At negligible cost, compared to existing military assets. Essentially, I…
