[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Tech plutocrats are the high-budget expression of the “everyone is twelve now” theory. You wanna go to Mars? Of course you do, you’re twelve. You think you can merge your consciousness with machinery and unlock the key to immortality? Hell yeah my twelve year-old homie. You’re gonna invent an Artificial Superintelligence God who will solve all our problems? Bless your twelve year-old heart.

Their visions for the future of humanity are never particularly wise or intelligent. It’s just a bunch of drugged-up rich guys using their vast fortunes to chart a course for our species that would sound totally awesome to the average preadolescent boy.

You ever hear Jeff Bezos’ vision for our future? He brings it up once in a while. He wants to ship most of humanity offworld and have us all living in these giant spinning space tubes called O’Neill cylinders while only a few lucky individuals get to remain on humanity’s home planet. It’s true, look it up.

This is the best these freaks can come up with. Transhumanism. Space colonization. Virtual reality. ASI. Immortality. These are all visions which revolve around escape. Escaping from the human condition. Escaping from our planet. Escaping from reality. Running, running, running away in a mad scramble to get anywhere but here.

These aren’t positive visions for the future, they’re signs of deep psychological immaturity. They’re the symptoms of an inability to be with what is. Whenever you hear these guys bloviating about transcending our humanity or colonizing space they’re just telling you they’ve got a lot of unresolved early childhood trauma which led them to construct an entire personality around avoidance and restlessness.

They don’t know how to be at peace. Not with themselves, and not with the world. These are very emotionally primitive individuals. They are not wise. They are not kind. They are not happy. They are not even particularly smart. They just have a particular kind of cleverness which has enabled them to succeed as parasitic middle men siphoning wealth off of other people’s labor in the specific type of dystopia we happen to live in.

And yet these are the men we’re allowing to rule our world. These are the people to whom we have handed the steering wheel of human destiny. A bunch of emotionally stunted manchilds who are drowning in a nonstop internal deluge of shame and inadequacy and unresolved mommy issues.

These are the men who have become our kings, because capitalism elevates whoever is wounded enough to do whatever it takes to claw their way to the top.

You trust these guys to shepherd us into a healthy world? They can't even be here now, at peace in their own skins.

This isn’t going to cut it. We can’t led these infantile narcissists lead humanity into the future. We’ve got to create a better system for ourselves.

[Kirsti Miller @KirstiMiller30]

More evidence that trans people are biologically trans.

Results showed that among identical twins, if one was trans, the likelihood that the other was also trans was 21.2%.

For non-identical twins, this rate was significantly lower, at 8.7% – though this was still well above the 1–2% prevalence of trans identities in the general population.

If being trans were purely a social phenomenon, we would not see this step-wise difference where the chance of being trans goes up with increasing genetic similarity.

It takes a village to raise a child…but Tokyo is no village, and when you're a popular junior idol like Narda, opportunity knocks…
A queer romance set in the opaque world of Tokyo after dark.

In 2007, removing cars from the city centre of #Ljubljana🇸🇮 was deeply controversial. Shopkeepers feared, residents worried, drivers felt threatened. Now 𝟗𝟕% 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.

Experiencing change can dramatically shift support!

[PJ Newham @pj_newham]

Everything's wrong in Max's world. The expat veteran is still at war with his culture, his past, and his body. It wasn't until he met Ximei, a kindred spirit from the Mekong River, that he knew he had a future.

Koto travelled half-way around the world to be with Sora again. That one furtive kiss catapulted her into nowhere, and for years she went swirling around a turbulent sky. Now she felt grounded again.
