  1. #DanOlson, of #FoldingIdeas, #contrepeneurs video is a great watch but also an excellent summary of the core of the techbros that currently run America. Mediocre leeches that lecture the world on being lazy while spending other people's effort and capital to enrich only themselves. People that couldn't pass a first year comms class because they didn't show up, then claiming college has nothing to teach.

    Just the laziest, slimiest, wage-thieving leeches.

  7. I watched the new Folding Ideas video on #AVGN and, I don't know, I guess this is interesting because it's very human.

    I say it, and not him, because James, the person, probably has grown up. He seems to really enjoy being a Dad and I'm glad for him. I think that's mature.

    It, however, is the type of thing that Bart Simpson would have nightmares about, stuck in the 4th grade at age 40 with his son Bart Junior.

    I feel like right now, people my age, something weird is happening. There seems to be this want, to go back to being an edgy teenager again. Let's just call it growing pains, I guess.

    It may be a matter of shades of gray, but I sort of viewed the subtle difference being:

    Crackpots are more about the grand theory and proving something that is wrong. Their persecution complex comes from no one believing them :

    Conspiracy theorists start with distrust of authority & establishment, and develop ideas to justify their distrust:

  10. Watching the #WeWork documentary - between this and #FyreFraud, plus having previously seen the #Enron documentary, as well as #DanOlson’s Line Go Up YouTube video, I’m slowly coming around to the idea that maybe letting corporate cult leaders, sketchy accountants and venture capital vampires make up numbers to run the economy through bullshit and gambling is bad, actually.

    It’ll be interesting to see if the economy completely explodes in a #BullshitMonsoon and what happens next.

    If we live.

  14. Dan Olson has released another brutally incisive video essay.

    This one, on Decentraland and the hype of the Metaverse, has me thinking deeply about Opensimulator, another open virtual world network that quietly did most of what the crypto scene claims to do... over a decade ago.
