When it comes to billionaires my take is the opposite of Leftists:

Billionaires SHOULD consume all their wealth: megayachts, English castles, mountains of cocaine, own a dozen homes and 30 cars - do it! Spend it all!

The worst thing that can happen is for a billionaire to try to ‘do good in the world’ and shovel money to NGOs for some cause they get excited about. That’s the worst thing that can happen. Charitable donations should be taxed at 500%. A billionaire’s lavish lifestyle poses no threat to me but their misguided ‘good intent’ is absolutely cancerous and potentially civilization ending.

@WomanDefiner Some of the very richest, but not every female billionaire, c.f. Oprah, Taylor Swift, J.K. Rowling.

Horrible freak mutants need love too.

The reason big companies historically can’t reform themselves is that there’s manger brain that sets in at a certain point and everything becomes satisficing requirements like this - that is, finding the laziest slop shortcut you can try to convince your customers is a fix.

@WomanDefiner It seems like the mayor can basically tell the cops what to do and cut ribbons. If you don't agree with cops as a concept, I don't really see the point in a mayor.

The brutal truth is that our entire system relies on abortion

You can’t keep women in the work force without abortion

You can’t maintain the casual sex culture and disrupt family formation without abortion

Women with children find themselves dependent on men, single women find themselves dependent on the state

Women are more likely to take abuse from employers, less likely to demand raises, less likely to oppose their replacement

People have been conditioned to believe they couldn’t function in society without abortion, and at some level we’ve ensured that’s correct

We’re far from the first civilization to base itself on child sacrifice but don’t lie to yourself, that’s exactly what we’ve done

You can look back on the Mayans in horror because they did their sacrifices on an altar but they could never hope to match our level of slaughter

Until the paradigm shifts there will be no popular support for it’s restriction

@asa_ko_tko Hmm. Maybe it's just that most Japanese people are old?

[owen cyclops @owenbroadcast]

you hear stories about women lifting a car after it falls on a kid: the “science” is that adrenaline temporarily grants that strength. lol. go pump a woman full of adrenaline and have her lift a car. more likely is the spirit (non-physical) can temporarily override physical laws.

@_space_punk_ I wonder what that implies? Is it just projection? The wicked are unsatisfied, and won't be happy until they've remade the world in their image? Is this the forbidden fruit all over again?

It just blows my mind that the first compiler was coded without a compiler.

Reading another "Why don't rich guys build libraries like Carnegie anymore" article.
It's because that's illegal now. In most cities you can barely even build an apartment. Never mind the psychoanalysis, it's just against the law.

Vinaya misunderstanders: Buddhism is sexist because Bhikksunis have more rules and restrictions than Bhikksus

Vinaya enjoyers: college students have more homework than kindergarteners

NetHack is one of the most complex and longest-lived open source programs ever written, and after 46 years, v5.0 shipped today.

And ... it is a VERY cool large codebase to work with in the LLM era.

Another example of "antistrategy", though less clear:

Buddhists seem to argue the most.
Taoists use the most concepts.
Christians are the least forgiving.
Muslims tend to be more aggressive with proselytizing.
