Tech fascism alright.

Read The Nerd Reich.

Banality of evil hits the spot on so many things these days.

Tech fascism is panicking universally as the algorithmic manipulation doesn't seem to work anymore as people are getting more and more aware of the tactics.

Nice to see this despite the tech fascist effort.

42 yeah. But we already know what to do, why would AGI suddenly make us do that:D

Huh. This is a crime against humanity. The planet is burning.

The concentration of power and the crossed planetary boundaries...

Money or economy is a social construct. The laws of physics and nature are, ehm kinda constant.

Eternal growth on a finite planet isn't exactly feasible and the planet is getting a mild fever as we speak. It'll recover, but it'll remove the symbiotic beings once they've turned into parasites.

And freedom in America is kinda joke these days at least anywhere else in the world : - )

The ones on the top of the chain have chosen. The rest have been manipulated to passivity and the banality of evil.

Humanity is beyond a political system. This phase is technofeodalism or tech fascism.

The situation is the same on the other side of the pond. Money, power and algorithmic manipulation power have concentrated enough, that the premise of democracy can be ditched.

Read Gil Duran's The Nerd Reich for an update on the current situation, where tech has replaced democracy.

Or search THN for The Nerd Reich or tech fascism topics and see that most of the topics are flagged here for no reason.

Yes, you're correct. And it powers also all of the ones I mentioned. Thanks for the clarification.

Please elaborate?

I remind you of the better version ShlinkedIN! Unfortunately it seems to be dead these days.

Yes. I must use it within sandbox and single signon MFA and a password that questions my sanity to login. Even with this it regularly manages to sucks the soul dry occasionally.

Yes. Gambling goes a long way. I just recommended Natasha Dow Schüll and Addiction by Design.

That leads us to BJ Fogg's Persuasive Design Lab at Stanford and the addictive software design.

Tobacco industry owners figured out their time's out and bought food stock and put their addiction department to design food to be addictive.

Where should we head next?

This also depends on the pennies we have to spare. I also as a middle aged and middle class European like to invite friends over, but the youth these days (and many many adults, at least around here) don't have the money to spend on this. Not the only reason, but a substantial one IMO.

Facebook is hardly a neutral part of the internet.

UK isn't a democracy any more than the US. And the rest of us aren't too far behind.

Tech fascism. Read Nerd Reich!

Nerd Reich describes the Y Combinator connection nicely.

Drug addicts,when treated properly, are alright manageable. Without treatment or support these creations of a dog eat dog world become unpredictable.

Have them read The Nerd Reich is one crucial step.

You need to read The Nerd Reich and the connection between Y Combinator and the rise of tech fascism.

Highly recommend and can't see a bigger root cause for the current human predicament.

Oh ffs. Of course it is.

In the end of the book we're the reasons why almost any and every topic on Tech fascism or The Nerd Reich are instaflaggged here.

Back in the day I was questioning operational tankering in my organization,but to no avail.

Not in aviation anymore, but luckily that practice seems to be forgotten now?

I 105 percent trust anything and everything a zillion dollar company promises!

Exactly.

I did this on purpose this spring.

I had a shitty winter in terms of endurance and was pretty much starting from the gutter in February. Spring and early summer we're stressful so I did mostly Z1/LSD cycling in the form of extended commuting from work to home. Nothing excessive though as stress was plentiful.

The estimated fitness or the Garmin estimate didn't budge much.

Once vacation started I kept this on for few weeks to recover and after that added few harder sessions in a two week period. Few weeks after this I felt the change and Garmin also estimated 6 mil's of added VO2MAX in a week.

Don't care about the metrics, but the added QOL from this and now I hopefully have a structure for the coming winter not to lose as much of this as the previous.

I have the same. It has saved hundreds of dineros for me and my friends and even better, prevented those ending up in the bottomless trickle up coffers of the zillionaire.

Okay, this cannot be unseen!
