A Lulzy Apprentice

They didn't let me out, they just gave me a day pass!

NO ONE IS PURE

In the public squares of the cities of northern Europe in the Middle Ages, a standard sight was of a person ‘in stocks’, their arms, head and legs immobilized within a wooden frame. The person (it was more often than not a woman) had done something wrong - they’d committed adultery, they’d not gone to church enough, they’d read a suspicious book, they’d danced too much, they’d communicated with satanic spirits - and their punishment was to be laughed at, doused in urine or have excrement and offal thrown at them. We shudder at how uncivilized we once were.

Yet we have not, of course, entirely given up on stocks. We too have our range of media-identified villains and our versions of verbal offal: this one slept with the wrong person, that one was privately recorded saying something inappropriate, this third one accepted money from a dubious source. And so we’ll get to work on insults and calumny. Often - as in the Middle ages - the way we justify our brutality is with reference to our enemy’s degraded nature; we can be severe because they have been impure.

Our high handed cruelty is so regrettable in part because it contravenes the laws of self-awareness. The more we understand of ourselves, the more we necessarily reach a surprising, humbling realization: most of what we condemn in other people is present in ourselves. There is a reprobate, a weirdo, a pervert, a freak, a glutton and a bigot in all of us. The more incensed we are of the ‘sin’ in another, the more we are likely to be harboring a version of it in our own characters. The strength of our condemnation only indicates how deeply involved we are in matters like impiety, lust, selfishness, tribalism, greed and retrogression. We rush to condemn the wicked out of an unprocessed relationship to our own impurity.

Maturity demands something far more challenging: that we accept without righteousness the presence in our minds of all kinds of impulses and thoughts that violate prevailing morals. We too - like the unfortunate characters in stocks that we have enjoyed laughing at - have had wicked thoughts and perhaps done wicked deeds. We are infinitely complicated creatures, drawn to the light but ineluctably caught up in the darkness, prone to temptation, aspiring to nobility yet repeatedly drawn to baseness.

What should replace offal-throwing is a weary, compassionate sadness for our whole race. The person in stocks is not uniquely sinful, they are perhaps merely uniquely unlucky. Impulses that dwell in all of us were given untrammelled opportunities in their case; we might have acted likewise if we had had their path through life. We should - with self-awareness - shudder for ourselves and pity those who have erred.

We will have grown up when we can bear to recognize that every flaw we curse in people around us is nascent in our minds. Self-exploration provides the definitive cure for feelings of superiority. To rehearse a by-now familiar point (with a tragically weak hold on our minds), we’ll be kind to others when we can bear to acknowledge the sinful parts of ourselves.

@MoniFunGirl Noice! I used to live in New England. I miss it, partly because of this. Pioneer Valley mountain range at the border of three states.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! LA mayor candidate Spencer Pratt just caught CBS engaging in ELECTION INTERFERENCE

He says they condensed a 1 hour interview into a “5 minute hit piece” after he WALLOPED Karen Bass

“They need to air the full, unedited interview.”

They KNOW Pratt is surging in LA

@arlanr When you get halfway into this interview you see the true value of this particular paradigm for the format. Info flashed above the lower third is MINT! Thanks again!

[A Lulzy Apprentice @LowlyApprentice]

@arlanr Bro! This is a great interview. I'm in my mid-fifties and I find this inspirational. Thanks for putting my on to this.

@Skint_Rabbit @RebellioMarket What is a better indicator?

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.

Media giants are now threatening to do this.

We can't let this happen.

Pass it on.

Its not Simcity, but business school students who were good at Civ V also turn out to be better planners, organizers, and problem-solvers in this small experiment.

@ImWatson91 @HistoryWJacob I think we need to recognize there are two measures for maturity. An evolved one of nature and a modern one of man. As a self-referentially evolving species it will take a long time for these two to meet.

@wolfvus @glasskann0n @TheChiefNerd Amazingly all three areas of expertise are truly bad in some way. I wonder why?

[A Lulzy Apprentice @LowlyApprentice]

@The_RomaArmy Men disengage. That's it.

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 24 hours?

> HSBC announced 20,000 job cuts.. 10% of their entire workforce.. because AI made those people unnecessary overnight

> Entry-level job postings are down 35% since 2023.. the first rung of the ladder doesn't exist anymore.. you can't "get your foot in the door" when the door got automated

> New businesses are creating fewer jobs.. the startups that were supposed to absorb laid-off workers aren't hiring either.. AI handles the first 5 roles now

> Jensen Huang told tech CEOs to "stop scaring people about AI".. the man whose company made $216 billion selling the chips powering every layoff on this list.. his advice? "shh.. be quieter about it"

> Bernie Sanders sat down and recorded a podcast with Claude AI.. asked it about mass data collection.. and the AI confirmed everything.. companies tracking your location.. your purchases.. your browsing.. selling it.. and using political microtargeting to fragment reality.. the AI snitched on its own industry to a US Senator.. on camera

> They officially announced Val Kilmer is starring in a new movie.. Val Kilmer died last year.. they're using AI to resurrect him frame by frame for a film called "As Deep As the Grave"

> A WNBA player launched an AI clone of herself.. fans can call it 24/7.. it has her voice.. her personality.. she doesn't even have to be awake

> JPMorgan warned that $40 to $150 billion in loans could be disrupted because AI is replacing the workers whose jobs backed those loans.. the 2008 playbook but with robots instead of houses

> A guy from North Carolina used AI to make hundreds of thousands of fake songs.. botted billions of streams.. and walked away with $8 million before getting caught.. first-ever criminal AI streaming fraud case

all of this happened in ONE day, See you tomorrow. It'll be worse.

If you're not following me you're finding out about this stuff 48 hours late from someone who read my post
