Yeah it’s really good. I’m not sure if the objectors in this thread actually read the article, or even a tiny bit of it. The author isn’t talking about singularity doomerism or whatever. The author is talking about how currently existing tech could lead to massive job loss in many rote white collar jobs. I wonder if the prevalence of humanities in a lot of leftists makes them dismiss this issue (which is kinda weird considering they “trust the science” on climate change).

Yeah I get that but I dunno why the commentor above thought it was “speculative shit from paper churning clout chasers.” Kinda odd

Did you vote for Brandon?

The Democrats will literally send people to their death just to stomp even the most lukewarm change:

Wait what? Most of art/culture/etc. isn’t “useful” so what are you trying to say?

I mean most cosmological theories at this point are speculative right? As long as the math is pretty people seem to like it (e.g. string theory).

Also ancient Romans, just like ancient Greeks, had a long tradition of materialism as well. Plato always had people criticizing his idealism, and this continued into the Roman tradition as well.

Uh didn’t ancient Egypt still have pretty “traditional” gender roles? Not sure what this meme is trying to say

You would really do that?

What I notice is that people will unironically support someone like Will Smith, but when pressed on how escalating violence is a bad thing, they’ll retreat to “oh it doesn’t matter why do you care anyways?” Or what’s worse, they’ll double down and say how they would “throw down” or whatever in real life, which I highly doubt. There’s no way they’d be that stupid to risk going to jail just cuz someone insulted their momma or whatever. Or risk getting decked by someone much bigger or stronger than them.
