Some people’s whole thing is making very good arguments based on faulty assumptions, and the secret is you don’t have to take them seriously
If someone constructs a devastating argument in favor of open borders based on blank slatism, you can ignore it, because it’s not true
Neoconservatism might be the worst mind disease that exists. A porous, baseless, purely self-soothing concoction of empty appeals, conceived entirely within a leftist world model, perpetually astonished and distraught at leftist progress while feeding it at every move
“Neocons taking a principled stand against welfare for transhuman Martian babies in 2060” isn’t a meme, it’s just what being a neocon is. No actual convictions grounded in reality, just appeals to fluid ideas that make you a leaf floating on a tidal wave
Being forced to clear a conversation in Claude code to save tokens and then having to explain what we were doing feels like that movie where the guy’s wife forgets about him every morning, heartbreaking
When you assume good faith out of everyone on twitter in search of an honest conversation, you’re vulnerable to post-ironic edgelords incapable of earnestness calling you dumb and playing social games, but when you do find one good convo it’s so good it makes up for all of it
Clear pattern emerging where obnoxious idiots whose accounts are wastelands of nothing but insults and retweets suddenly care very much about quality discussion and make sure to let you know they “wouldn’t have one with you” (call you stupid)
Dawg, you aren’t having them anyway
Spending too much time in high trust circles can make you forget that there leagues of people out there, educated, intelligent, capable, powerful people, who are acting in bad faith, and nothing you can do will deter them. They want to hurt you. Debating won’t fix that.
the vast majority of things that happen only happen due to an incredibly small minority of people who make them happen by sheer force of will and dedication
I call “projective politics” that thing people do where they build an entire ideology based on what would work for them and them alone while completely ignoring the real world and how people really work, like a chef running a failing restaurant because he cooks food only he likes
My electoral theory of everything boils down to this graph. No keys to the White House, no prediction models (except Nate Silver’s), no state polling, it’s all noise. The poor and uneducated vote is the kingmaker. High edu + high income is where campaigns go to die.
