Jensen Huang, CEO of nvidia
"[...] in order to save you, they got to hurt you first. [Surgeons] got to inflict an enormous amount of pain and suffering on you so that they could save you. AI is kind of like that. Over the next several years, we will have to unfortunately use fossil fuel because we just don’t have enough of sustainable energy to make a difference. And then we can hopefully transition to that [renewables]"
At least he is honest.

The slow diminishment of life on a dying planet and its implications for social theory
I’m slightly haunted by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor’s description on loc 1414 of their End Times Fascism:
Now that we are here, it doesn’t feel quite like a sudden crash; in relatively safe parts of the world only occasionally is there a ball of fire. More often it feels like a slow diminishment, as if we are living less manageable lives on pieces of earth that are themselves less alive. Yet the potential for a dramatic acceleration of this decline exists on multiple fronts.
They have talked on podcasts (possibly later in the book, I haven’t finished it yet) about the eeriness which accompanies this slow diminishment: the sense of being dislocated from what we have known by changing seasons and a changing climate. The inability to go back to what once felt like home. They suggest at loc 1,402 that this is a basic feature of human experience under contemporary conditions:
These trends point to another factor in the rise of messianism, one too often overlooked. It is the simple reality that our world, like the one Columbus inhabited, has become significantly more unstable, delivering major shock after major shock. We all, not just the aspiring theocrats among us, know this. The reason is as simple as it is immense: our economic system is built on limitless growth, and on limitless wealth for the winners. Our economy is also built on a story—that we can grow and consume like this forever, and there is no such thing as enough. That story has slammed into a wall and evidence of that collision is all around, measured in the extinction of species, sea-level rise, resource wars, wealth hoarding, supply-chain upheavals, cost-of-living spikes, mass displacement, and natural disasters that are increasing in frequency, intensity, and cost.
This could be described in Ulrich Beck’s terms as a recurrent state of anthropological shock. Noortje Marres has used the term post-normal (which honestly I hate rhetorically) in a description which I think is deeply insightful even if I dislike the terminology. As she puts it, “everyday life is defined by growing precarity and unpredictability and this in marked contrast with a previous era of perceived wealth and relative predictability” (pg 4). Later in the essay she gets to the heart of the matter in a way that I think is deeply helpful. From pg 7:
A defining schema of 20th century social theory framed disruption as a generative event, which occurs against the background of a relatively stable environment (Bogusz, 2021). Think of Martin Heidegger’s ‘broken hammer’, John Dewey’s ‘problematic situation’ or Harold Garfinkel’s ‘breaching experiment.’ Each of these concepts frame the suspension of the taken-for-granted as a productive and ultimately beneficial occasion, one that grows awareness, invites problem-solving and compels the testing of assumptions against reality (learning). However, looking back, it seems that these pragmatist theories of disruption all assumed that unsettlement occurred against a relatively stable background, a familiar setting in which people could in principle rely on dependable routines. Under postnormal conditions, however, such a stable environment precisely cannot be assumed: disruption has become generalised and itself constitutes a background condition of everyday life. As Anna Tsing (2015) put it, we live in a time of endless trouble.
In a postnormal society, accidents, failures or breakdowns does not necessarily trigger a pragmatist dynamic of problem articulation, solution seeking and restabilization. As indicated above, the reasons for this are multi-faceted and range from the hollowing out of public services to the privatization of utilities and the escalation of dynamics of environmental degradation
As she puts it on pg 9, “Under postnormal conditions, disruption does not necessarily trigger a quest of exploration, discussion and examination to establish the nature of the disruption: here, disturbance is not – as a matter of course – engaged and tamed through naming and knowing”. If this is right (which I think it is in the broad brush strokes it’s offered) then I think it has crucial implications for h we conceptual agency and its role in responding to, let alone reversing, the slow diminishment of life on a dying planet.

Here's a short video promoting Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor's new book End-Times Fascism.
Cory Doctorow, in his post yesterday (Pluralistic: On the sincerity of AI bosses), called it, "the best ever reference work on techno fascism".

'We thought long and hard about the politics of putting any kind of qualifier on a word like “ #fascism.” And the reason we ended up deciding that it did need that is we thought about how our world has changed since Mussolini declared himself a fascist. Our fascists have weapons that last century’s #fascists couldn’t dream of.'

"Digital Doppelgangers": Naomi Klein Corrects the Record on Viral AI-Generated Quote

I haven't been able to find any tech journalists or outlets reporting on Section 224 of the 2027 #NDAA (H.R.8800):
"...the provision reaches across 'seemingly every area of defense tech,' including artificial intelligence, quantum technology, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber and biotechnology. He said the most alarming terms were 'network integration' and 'data fusion,' since the bill does not clearly define them."
Has anyone seen any good coverage or analysis from tech journalists or experts on Section 224?

I only now found the time to properly read this:
"The rise of end times fascism by #NaomiKlein and #AstraTaylor"
Critical reading to know what we're up against.
(It would be good to explore how these narratives connect with the narratives that are embraced and pushed by Baudet and his FvD constituency).

"Trump Is Waging War on the Future ... Part of the MAGA movement’s war on the future is an assault on the nation’s capacity to produce scientific, technological and medical breakthroughs ... How does one make America great again by destroying its capacity to develop advanced technology? Who prospers when we rob our scientists of the resources necessary to make breakthroughs that could transform our society for the better?":

#EndTimesFascism versus #Progress #politics -
Throughout my writing about fascism, capitalism, and climate catastrophe, I've worked pretty hard to focus attention on what I consider the most fundamentally important and horrifying reality of our time. That being that no matter how hard it may be for us to accept, the billionaire ruling class in the Pig Empire, and the governments they own, fully intend to kill billions of people to keep extracting capital on a boiling planet in the face of a climate apocalypse. Furthermore, given that democratic societies full of people who probably don't want to die so billionaires can keep doing capitalism as the planet turns to ash are highly unlikely to continue facilitating that behavior, this same ruling class is busy transforming our nations into fascist police states to facilitate that outcome.
Naturally, that sounds like a conspiracy theory to people who wouldn't want to believe it anyway even if they knew it was true, so until folks watched Elon Musk literally buy Trump's way to the White House this past fall, this idea was pretty hard to communicate to my readers; although I certainly kept trying. In my opinion, the evidence has been all around us for years now; from the funding behind fascist movements and political parties in the Pig empire, to the capitalist control of supposedly "liberal democratic" governments across the "West" that continue to facilitate the mass extraction of fossil fuels we cannot burn without murdering potentially billions of people, while professing to care about climate crisis. As far as I'm concerned the only plausible explanation for the ruling class and political actors to do absolutely nothing about climate crisis and fossil fuel dependency while simultaneously hardening borders, curtailing civil rights, and building out massive police states hell bent on squashing protestors, is because they intend to take humanity and a biosphere that supports 8B+ human lives right off the ecological cliff, and they know the folks doing the dying are probably going to try and oppose that.
As we crash through climate objectives and rocket towards an environmental apocalypses in the middle of a mass extinction event however, it turns out that banks and government bodies are more or less starting to admit this genocidal bullshit is the actual plan, out loud. As this April 8th article from Kate Aronoff writing for The New Republic demonstrates, portions of the banking sector and highly-respected bipartisan think tanks are now openly arguing climate targets are a joke and it's time for a new phase of aggressive climate imperialism as the planet descends into a warming-induced apocalypse because nothing, not even the end of the world, can get in the way of churning profits to enrich a ruling class that already owns everything around us.
The Bleak, Defeatist Rise of “Climate Realism”
"The brand of climate cynicism being voiced by the Council on Foreign Relations is more novel. In an essay outlining the founding principles of the Climate Realism Initiative, Varun Sivarum—the program’s director and a former top aide to Biden-era U.S. climate envoy John Kerry—describes a zero-sum, catastrophically climate-changed world where “other countries will single-mindedly prioritize their own interests” and the United States should do the same. Facing climate-fueled mass migration “of at least hundreds of millions of climate refugees [that] could upend the international order, and increasingly grisly natural disasters,” the U.S. “should provide the support it can, cooperate with countries on building resilience capabilities, and protect its borders,” as well as “prepare for global competition for resources and military positioning that is intensifying in the melting Arctic.”
Look folks, this isn't a partisan political question of which party is better, or worse, on the issue of climate crisis; this is about a billionaire donor class that controls policy and politicians in both parties, and why that reality means we were always speeding towards a hydra-headed crisis of capitalism, climate catastrophe, and fascist authoritarianism as the awful reality that nobody "in charge" is going to stop a crisis that will kill billions from happening, set in. The Trump regime certainly represents an acceleration of the process towards climate apocalypse, but it is also the product of that very same process; we are here because rich people mean to kill us all to keep getting richer, and fascism is how you create societies where that is possible. Not just because fascist ideology allows the construction of vast police states, but because the very same "us and them" hate-fueled logic that drives fascist movements to power, is also an absolute necessity for a climate imperialism political paradigm on a boiling planet with diminishing resources.

Rage of the #Oligarchs - #NaomiKlein: ‘What They Want Is Absolutely Everything’
The all-star academic and Shock Doctrine author breaks down the dark logic of Trump and Musk’s path of destruction — and what the world’s richest people really want
May 4, 2025
Excerpt: [Klein] "But now, #capitalism has entered a radical and #apocalyptic phase. There is no #utopian vision in any of this. Instead, there’s a final battle. And this is where it gets really dark. The people who are advancing this agenda are also building their #LuxuryBunkers and their #spaceships to #Mars. They don’t believe that there is a future. These people believe history is ending, literally. It’s end times! Get onto your rocket ship, or get into your golden city in the sky. And that is distinct."

"An alliance between the #FarRight and #SiliconValley oligarchs has given rise to a form of #endtimesfascism, says journalist #NaomiKlein, who details in a recent essay co-authored with Astra Taylor how many wealthy elites are preparing for the end of the world even as they contribute to growing inequality, political instability and the climate crisis. Klein says that while billionaires dream of escaping to bunkered enclaves or even to space, President Donald Trump and other right-wing leaders are turning their countries into militarized fortress states to keep out immigrants from abroad and ramp up authoritarian control domestically."
