Thanks. It's from my old generative art project. Generated in about 0.3 seconds.

That's the microwave mind-control transmitters. That's the feeling they produce. Every major city has one in geosynchronous orbit.

As you might guess, they are wonderful for influencing public opinion.

Food visible from orbiting map satellite is big food

1000x talk about moral panic than actual moral panic.

Trans is boring.

bloom_of_rakes ,

I don't talk sarcasm. Think a bit and uncrooked your silly talk.

bloom_of_rakes ,

Egan's version.

Upload everybody on the ship.

Run time at whatever speed.

Rebuild bodies when you get there.

Advantages : tiny, simple ship. No flesh to squish under high acceleration.

bloom_of_rakes ,

Sam Hughes?

bloom_of_rakes ,

Conservatism is a strawman at this point. A digital waifu for pubescent moralists.

bloom_of_rakes , (edited )

Don't. They'll just dogpile you. They just want to burn witches.

bloom_of_rakes ,

Would it be funny if the race/gender was reversed? Would that cause outrage?

bloom_of_rakes ,

And speaking of nazis, they certainly like their stereotypes too. It's an interesting parallel that you raise.

bloom_of_rakes ,

Ah, so everybody is like nazis? Possibly.

Tribal, reactionary, conforming, oblivious, obedient, hivemind nazis.

bloom_of_rakes ,

That's what every witchburner ever says. Every single one.

bloom_of_rakes ,

Christ, you people will grasp at any straw, no matter how slim. You are shameless.

bloom_of_rakes ,

I am not worthy.

bloom_of_rakes ,

It does not take ambition to enjoy cocaine.

Movies have objectively gone to shit.

It's like our culture got permanently constipated around 1985. The writers born before that are aging out about now.

A creative culture is a relaxed culture with lots of free time. Now it's common to work 2 jobs and never afford a house.

Maybe a meteor will hit us. I hear there's an "eclipse" coming soon.

bloom_of_rakes ,

I'm the same way with meditation subs.

bloom_of_rakes ,

Yes, patronizing works.

bloom_of_rakes ,

The media cherrypicks for max drama. Your fear is their feast. So you might want to take what they say with a grain of salt.

You are 10000x more likely to get hit by a car than bludgeoned by an incel.

bloom_of_rakes ,

Every time you gasp in fear/outrage the media makes $10000.

It's a machine designed to fuck your mind. When AI becomes common as toast you'll really see something.

I got jumped once.

(Walking home at 3am. Crowd of kids under a streetlight, a dozen. Figured there was a party nearby. I'm walking by, say hi, one kid approaches me, says "hey you got a light". I aay "nope". He walks closer and says it again. Then bam, somebody hits me on the head from behind with a bat. I'm out for a couple seconds. Come to with blood everywhere. 2 guys standing over me. One says, "give me your wallet, we know where you live, don't call the cops, we've done this before". So I give them my wallet and they run away down the street. Then I'm sitting there bleeding for a minute. The crowd is watching all this. Then one says, "I guess we should run". Then they all leave. Then I get up and walk a block to a friend's house and call an ambulance.)

Still got the scar.

After that, everybody was a suspect. Everybody I saw got my burning looks.

For about 6 months I was like that.

bloom_of_rakes ,

I'll have you know that my gurgitation is entirely fresh and original.

bloom_of_rakes ,

Basically. If we all decide at once to ignore their "wealth". Bam. They are no longer wealthy and their power goes poof.

Unless they have a private army of drones of course.

bloom_of_rakes ,

But they all say "I speak the truth"

bloom_of_rakes ,

Now I want to go there and steal everything.

bloom_of_rakes ,

I'm not a brainwashed fascist with a brain full of "truth", that's those other guys. They suck. May they all drown in lakes of blood.

bloom_of_rakes ,

It happens here too.
There are certain people. They are indecent. And they want to control the conversation.
