Neoreaction: A Basilisk really is great, you definitely should tackle it soon!

Has anyone checked for kernels of corn growing behind their ears?

It’s like the classic comic “we should improve society somewhat!” “And yet you participate in society!”

Ayuuuuuuuup. Movable feast is a great term for it. Even once formerly ostracized groups get permitted into the in-group, their membership is strictly conditional on serving the interests of those closer into the center of the Whiteness construct.

Fucking giant water and power guzzling data centers, ugh.

I haven’t seen any numbers on how much Sora cost to train, nor how much it costs to run- I can’t help but believe it’s painfully high.

Oh heck yeah new Dan Olson

The full book is well worth the read, imho.

You should check out the book A Libertarian Walks into a Bear for another great example, if you haven’t already!

Solid post, already shared this a few times.
