Faith without works is dead.

Trust no one.

I’m aware of his career and related, history.

However it was Doctorow himself that mentioned his Burning Man attendance on a live tech podcast I was listening / watching 5 or so years ago.

Here’s an excerpt from audience questions after a he gave on the AI Bubble (or Apocalypse as he puts it often), published on his blog Pluralist. Written by Doctorow

“OK,” the young man said, “but what can we do about the crash?” He was clearly very worried.

“I don’t think there’s anything we can do about that. I think it’s already locked in. I mean, maybe if we had a different government, they’d fund a jobs guarantee to pull us out of it, but I don’t think Trump’ll do that, so –”

“But what can we do?”

We went through a few rounds of this, with this poor kid just repeating the same question in different tones of voice, like an acting coach demonstrating the five stages of grieving using nothing but inflection. It was an uncomfortable moment, and there was some decidedly nervous chuckling around the room as we pondered the coming AI (economic) apocalypse, and the fate of this kid graduating with mid-six-figure debts into an economy of ashes and rubble.

My arm feels sore right now because of climate change.

Am I just expected to trust Cory Doctorow?

He has deep ties with the tech industry tyrants. He “parties” with tech billionaires and Hollywood nutjobs at Burning Man.

Transylvania

It was the tooth fairy

Absolutely disgusting

Study shows it’s actually the massive corporate conglomerates that do exponentially more damage to the Earth than the entire animal kingdom combined, humans included.

Reduce your carbon footprint is a Big Oil created PR campaign. It places the “climate crisis” blame on the individual consumer.

The two party system is entirely corrupt. Two sides of the same coin; two faced.

Nothing is more inherently political than our shared physical environment, and nothing is more ill served by allegiance to a single political party.

They’ve got a set of Republican waiters on one side and a set of Democratic waiters on the other side, but no matter which set of waiters brings you the dish, the legislative grub is all prepared in the same Wall Street kitchen.

Here’s an exerpt from one of his public talks about the AI bubble. From his Pluralist blog.

The Author’s Note section of State of Fear, Michael Crichton made numerous predictions that some of which have come true thus far.

It was published in 2004

One of which is that any climate change related legislation implemented by one party, will eventually overturned / reversed when the other party takes power.

Nothing is more inherently political than our shared physical environment, and nothing is more ill served by allegiance to a single political party. Precisely because the environment is shared it cannot be managed by one faction according to its own economic or aesthetic preferences. Sooner or later, the opposing faction will take power, and previous policies will be reversed. Stable management of the environment requires recognition that all preferences have their place: snowmobilers and fly fishermen, dirt bikers and hikers, devel-opers and preservationists. These preferences are at odds, and their incompatibility cannot be avoided. But resolving incompatible goals is a true function of politics

He also predicted that in around 2100, people will be far richer, use lots of energy than ever before, and the global population will be much smaller.

Corey Doctorow is an industry plant, anyone who goes to Burning Man and writes books like he does, has some major skin in the Techno Feudalism game.

Lameo

Or whatever came… For me it was getting banned for commenting “Rothschilds” and nothing else, on a video news report Post about a majority Jewish city council voting to defund public schools in the majority black neighborhoods. At one point, the camera zoomed in on a nameplate of one of the city council members… Rothschilds.

I saw it and posted a reply, seemingly without thinking… “Rothschilds”.

In seconds I was banned, for hate speech

E A ports

Are we sure these reports aren’t just PR stunts / bullshit?

Of all the people they chose to go after for not doing something they choose this guy who probably has a decent amount of money to retaliate.

My phone watches me all day.

Nothing, he doesn’t deserve the attention.
