@chamath Don’t you think it’s much more nuanced than this zero sum rhetoric? I find it nonsensical that former tech executives espouse authority on matters they have no expertise on.

@Xfinity @XfinitySupport why is my Xfinity app NOT showing my devices at home? I’ve wasted 2.5 hours today so far with no answer. By the way I owe nothing , although it says my bill is past due.

You’re not crazy. They are crazy. The ones who are going around acting like everything’s fine. The ones dismissing the Gaza genocide as a “single issue”. The ones who don’t like it when you talk about this stuff because it bums them out. They are the crazy ones.

I say this because living in the west during a western-backed genocide can make you feel like you’re going insane. Like maybe there’s something wrong with you for not being able to go along as though your government isn’t helping Israel burn people alive, shoot kids in the head, deliberately destroy Gaza’s healthcare system, and target civilian populations with deadly siege warfare in order to annex Palestinian territory. Like maybe you’re defective if you can’t be as chill about all this as everyone else is being.

But there’s nothing wrong with you, and you are not defective. There is something very wrong with a civilization that could go along with all this. It is our genocidal dystopia that is defective.

History is rife with examples of horrific mass atrocities to which the majority of the population did not respond with the appropriate revulsion and urgency at the time. Slavery. The Holocaust. The systematic extermination of other indigenous populations in other settler-colonialist projects. Most of the people who now look back and judge those evils correctly in hindsight are sleepwalking right through their present-day reiteration in Palestine.

Those who stood against the mass atrocities of history tended to be in the minority, because if opposing them was conventional wisdom they wouldn’t have happened in the first place. This shows us that there is no correlation between conventional wisdom and real moral clarity. We cannot look to others to evaluate whether our position on an issue is the correct one, because history tells us that the majority is very often wrong on the most important issues in the present moment when it matters.

And the majority is wrong now. The ones flagrantly supporting Israel’s abuses are wrong. The ones who try not to think too much about what’s being done in Gaza and Lebanon are wrong. The ones who say it’s all so tragic and heartbreaking but it’s oh so very complicated and Israel has a right to defend itself are wrong. The ones who don’t oppose Israel’s atrocities but only oppose their own country sending boots on the ground or spending their tax dollars on it are wrong. The ones who know a genocide is happening but avoid making too much noise about it because they want to make sure the Democrats win the election are wrong. The ones who know it’s a genocide but don’t respond to this reality with the appropriate level of urgency, forcefulness and focus are wrong.

All around us we are bombarded with messages trying to gaslight into believing that we are the ones who aren’t perceiving reality correctly. These messages can be overt, like the propaganda of the mass media and the talking points of the Israel apologists we run into online. They can also be subtle, like the unspoken messages we get when nobody around us is talking about Gaza and how people grow uncomfortable when we do.

But those messages are lying to us. We absolutely are the ones who are seeing things correctly. We absolutely are the ones who are responding to this nightmare appropriately. They are the ones acting like a bunch of lunatics casually strolling around in the middle of a house fire.

Don’t look to others to evaluate your own level of clarity. In a civilization that has gone insane, you have to sort out what sanity looks like for yourself. When our leaders are throwing their support behind an active genocide in a society that is awash with propaganda-induced delusions, we’ve all got to be brave enough to stand on our own two feet.

@davidu I would say she should never have taken the job if she’s so unaligned with her boss. It’s a stupid poor judgment mistake but a lesson for her too in choosing roles with people or companies that are aligned with your own values. A strong communications person has passion

@brooke @VanityFair @RobertKennedyJr If true. I just found this story to lack credibility. The conflation of ‘anti-vaccine’ with ‘anti vaccine mandate’, for one thing. Not even clarified. I messaged the writer. He blocked me. The secrets are from the 70s and 90s, and its 2024, where Trumps lies raise money. Weird.

[Louise Conroy @callagyl]

@brooke @VanityFair @RobertKennedyJr But the write up says he’s pictured with a bbq’d dog. Which is not true, the story was updated.

[Garga.eth (Greg Solano) @CryptoGarga]

Huge thank you to all the Apes and Voyagers who joined for the Asia session of Apes Come Home (and everyone who is going to tune in later).

Appreciate you all bearing with the long silence while we re-tooled our platform from the ground up.

Apes Come Home is just the first step. What’s next? More features, more frequently. With more updates from the team.

ps Shoutout to the bleary eyed Yuga team who has been up a very long time to make sure we can do events in different time zones for our global community.

This week’s “From The Bodega” features @Feld4014 from @boringsecurity, MBA #00079. A free, public good, educating the broader Web3 space on self-custody and crypto security. Not all heroes wear capes, some just rep BAKC #448.

See the thread below for a Q & A about their MBA.

[Garga.eth (Greg Solano) @CryptoGarga]

Come hang on BAYC island.

A lot of unsexy work has gone into building out the platform for this mfer, and tomorrow's event is an up-close look at a work-in-progress metaverse. We want to bring thousands of you together on the island so you can share your feedback.
