"What is safety research all about? It's about aligning a super intelligence with our values. That's what they say. But what they mean is the values of transhumanists to long-termists."
Philosopher Émile Torres exposes the philosophy driving tech CEO's as the plan for human extinction.
The only member of Congress who has agreed to the @dropgenocide20 accountability pledge is Rep Tlaib. Ro Khanna refuses to do so, as does AOC. Nor have they proposed an alternative pathway to accountability. El-Sayed is campaigning with Harris. Seems the plan is to Simply Move On
It's actually like making an ad about homelessness where the homeless person is white, which is appropriate since *most* homeless people are, in fact, white. As are most people on welfare.
Kamala Harris has always underperformed with Black voters, did less well with Black voters than Biden or even Bernie in 2020, and Black voters are faithful general election Dems -- unlike other swing demographics. This logic relies on a reductive, borderline racist view of Black voters.
Sam Seder on why El-Sayed campaigned with Kamala:

"What they are going to do now that the settlement has gone through is merge not just movie studios, but two massive media conglomerates into one in a way that's gonna kill thousands of jobs, raise a bunch of prices, & make dissenting against this government even harder on the means of communication that they control...There are five legacy film and TV studios, this will take two of those and make it one." - @BedoyaUSA

"I think that a lot of people miss that the various explanations that have been proposed for why this extinction narrative is out there -- many of them are not mutually exclusive, right? It can be the case that people at the companies are sincere and also they recognize that it is a very useful strategy for concentrating power, for regulatory capture and so on." - @xriskology

The purpose of the Republican and Democratic parties is not to represent voters, or even win elections.
It is to represent the very interests of the Epstein class.
