A scientist, a philosopher, and a poet walk into a bar.

They all drink heavily to try to forget the state that society is in.

It's so cool how they finally created real AI, freeing us at last from all labor, giving the human race more leisure time and empowering us all to fulfill our creative freedom.

Oh wait no, it didn't do jack shit except make some rich guys super rich, and somehow make mobile ads even more annoying.

I've been microdosing "thinking" lately. Every hour for one minute I "use my brain to think about stuff.".

I believe this will put me at a competitive edge over 99.6% of the human population, if my calculations are correct.

It's unfair to call the Marvel movies "kid's movies", they also have serious political messages, such as:
- America is good
- the military is good
- military contractors are good
- billionaires are good
- heroes protect the existing power structure, villains try to change society

Nature did not design mankind to stare at screens indoors all day.

We are made to struggle for the bounty of the earth. To follow the herds north and kill for our meat. To make love in cold nights as we ponder the stars.

Luckily we rebelled against nature. That would suck. Screens are way better.

Good news everyone, I've created an advanced AI that can replace 90% of the managers in tech companies:

One big problem the United States has with overthrowing countries in the Middle East is that their populations will fight to the end to protect their civilization, whereas Americans will give up immediately if our Flamin' Hot Doritos™ go up in price by 10 percent.

"You are being too emotional, just look at things rationally."
– someone who thinks their emotional desires are more important than yours.

I gazed into the abyss, and the abyss just walked right past me, pretending not to see.

What the fuck.

Nerd culture is funny because it fooled an entire generation into thinking that if you liked sci-fi and disliked sports, that somehow made you smart.

It feels like now would be a really bad time for the Sea Peoples to make a comeback.

Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?

Slowly realize that everything is terrible: sadness.
Quickly realize that everything is terrible: comedy.

If Iran blows up Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos I promise you here and now that I WILL convert to Islam and join the Butlerian Jihad.

I would say that in retrospect Microsoft's Clippy wasn't so bad. He gave some pretty great tips on how to write a memo. He didn't destroy the environment by consuming more energy than most countries. He didn't help bomb any countries.

All in all, C- to B+ range, realistically.

The only permanent solution to toxic misogyny is to genetically engineer an apex race of "super gays" to rebalance the ecosystem.

I will NOT be elaborating on this plan of action. Thank you for the consideration.

In an open and free society, the State or media owners knowingly propagating lies should be be considered exactly the same as them censoring the truth.

Freedom of speech is the freedom to openly debate the truth, not the freedom to control media to subvert it.
