Merovingian

Just another hypocrite trying to do better, usually.

Suppose President Tinubu announces that he is willing to reconsider one of his two controversial policy decisions: either allowing the naira to float on the foreign exchange market or removing fuel subsidies. Which policy reversal would you prefer?

Great book! Problem is when that publishing house masquerades as a religion.

[Chukwuedozie Nwa Charlie @TheCharlesIsidi]

For all the things people have to say against Jehovah’s Witnesses, their investments in printed resources really changed my life as a teenager.

There was this publication: “Questions young people ask”, that book helped me answer many questions as a teen that many adults avoided.

BREAKING: Mark Zuckerberg’s company is siding with Elon Musk in a fight against the developer of ChatGPT.

Meta urges California Attorney General to stop OpenAI from becoming for-profit.

Nothing triggers envy and resentment more than intellectual superiority. Never make people feel that they are stupid.

[Corporate Machiavelli @Mach_Tactics]

If they did it before, they can do it again.

If they were willing to do it to someone else, they’ll be willing to do it to you.

[Merovingian @Olamide_Odu]

@RichardHanania Funny how one who believes life came from non-living matter, and that humans evolved from single-celled organisms through biological alchemy pretends their viewpoint is more plausible. I mean, compared to that, virgin births and rising from the dead are downright mundane.

Being a senior developer is being able to fix the bug in 5 minutes

But having the discipline to assign it to a team member knowing it’ll take them 4 hours

C is Latin, the root of all modern languages, the whole universe used to speak it.

C++ is French, it’s Latin with fancy rules, used by the elite around the world & in specific circles.

JavaScript is English, everybody speaks it, most speakers speak it poorly and others don’t bother learning another language.

Java is German, it’s verbose, over-complicated and it made me cry several times. I won’t elaborate.

Python is Esperanto, it was created to be so easy everyone could speak it. Its speakers could benefit from a shower once in a while.

Rust is Russian, most speakers have an authoritarian left background and want to spread it worldwide.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

The truth is that Irreligion is the opium of the people. Wherever the people do not believe in something beyond the world, they will worship the world. But, above all, they will worship the strongest thing in the world.

[Merovingian @Olamide_Odu]

@Solomon_Buchi By standing up for beliefs, I hope you do not mean violent acts of aggression.

@don_pet Na everything dem use better pass us.

the entire capitalist structure.

[Merovingian @Olamide_Odu]

The bourgeoisie, despite their wealth and power, are utterly dependent on the working class to produce goods, provide services, and sustain the economic system. If the working class stopped reproducing, it would eventually lead to a labor shortage, destabilizing...

[Merovingian @Olamide_Odu]

The proletariat can really, truly subvert the capitalist system by refusing to reproduce future generations of workers. This form of rebellion targets the very heart of capitalism: its reliance on a continuous supply of cheap labor.

[Merovingian @Olamide_Odu]

Karl Marx was dead right about the ills of capitalism. He was wrong about the solution. The way the poor, propertyless proletariat can seize 'the means of production" isn't by some violent revolution, but by ceasing to reproduce. The bourgeoisie rely on the proleteriat for labour

the most impressive people i know just do stuff and they keep doing stuff until they get stuff

crazy how literally all the best thinkers in history recommend going on walks

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

You have some vital role to play in the unfolding destiny of the world. You are, therefore, morally obliged to take care of yourself. You should take care of, help and be good to yourself the same way you would take care of, help and be good to someone you loved and valued. You may therefore have to conduct yourself habitually in a manner that allows you some respect for your own Being.
