Nerdy yet sturdy, a gay elder millennial at play,

Technology

don’t get silo’d with a personal agent for too long - quality degrades, you forget how to learn, knowledge collapses at scale.

Is this treating things as people, or treating people as things? “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” Either way I think it’s evil, and the evil is not the technology—it’s the dreams of the people trying to sell it to us.

A New Paradigm

Anthropomorphizing the machines to normalize them as workers…that are replacing people to the economic benefit of plutocrats.

If you’re not angry worried scared or upset, you’re not paying attention. If you’re not paying attention, you are privileged, because you think what’s happening doesn’t apply to you or won’t effect you. If you think it doesn’t apply to you then you get to choose whether or not you say (or do) something about it. Your decision of action or inaction

Born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the stars, born just in time for techno-feudalism.

Any one else feel this way? Despite getting the degree, working for the Fortune 500 company but with no benefits, no paid time off, and insultingly low pay… can barely afford the “privilege to pay my bills,” let alone travel. Fucked up.

Even when the problem is hard, it doesn't need to harden you. Unknot yourself. Body loose, head clear, and then take the first step.

Be happy in the doing."
