leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

This is me putting in a request for a volume on the (pseudo?) contradictions between the obsession with gold and the software-qua-immaterial economy agenda among SV luminaries

β€œThe people we bomb will greet us as liberators” is something that even a child understands is nonsense: it is also the cornerstone of US foreign policy for over fifty years

So here's what's frustrating about this response, completely ignoring that the person who wrote it inaccurately described Cormac McCarthy's sentence as "clunky" or a "mistake."

It says I knew which one was human, or I was lucky at guessing... with no possibility that I liked human writing better.

NEW: The Israeli military unlawfully used white phosphorus over homes on March 3, 2026, in the Lebanese town of Yohmor.

The use of white phosphorus over residential areas is extremely alarming and will have dire consequences for civilians.

psychoanalysis isn't a GUT but it does cut right thru questions about why people don't "learn lessons," why they repeat the same aggressive enactments, etc by demanding we look to what people actually do despite what they say and to what the functions of those very questions are

Maybe they relied on AI to pick targets. But they bombed the school twice, hitting it again 40 minutes after the initial strike, in order to kill survivors and first responders. The mere *existence* of AI means no one has to be held responsible for this crime against humanity

people with salaries are seriously talking about traversing space, time, and material obstacles like its a matter of just unlocking fast travel points and denying your enemy the stone and lumber they need for resource trees

β€œthe cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

Kind of weird when you can watch the global market collectively go "oh shit he is that crazy".

For the cheap seats, in the back: any policy that is supported by the American Petroleum Institute is not a climate policy.
