Born in the wrong place, born in the wrong time. I read the Iliad every year and get less modern.
I think this might help. To make the arguments, it is necessary to provide reasons. We can not offer the same bargain as the Abrahamic faiths, it must both be more understandable and desirable. The gods of Olympus (or any other proto-indo european offshoot) are personifications…
Now, everyone is freaking out about the tariffs. I think they fail to see the freight train that is coming for the global economy. With AGI and increased automation, unemployment is going to spike, and especially for upper middle class people. So trying to push haard…
Wait, that not a dam, the the corruption being found in government.
I think women don't understand men....
the iliad is about a lot of things—everything, really—but i think emily wilson is right that it’s mainly about this
It looks like I got red flagged. Not sure why. So here are some nice painting that people can look at until it resolved. I've seen this in person. sublime..
America is a family first. I'm not asking my kids to compete with kids in China for a place at my dinner table. Color is not the issue, it's why should Americans have to fight with everyone else in the world for job in their own nation that forefather built.
On AGI, perhaps the right analogy is not the workers during the industrial revolution, but horses. What if we are the horses...
We are a nation that put men on the moon, we can figure out how to build houses...
Just curious... who does MAGA think is going to rebuild the thousands of homes destroyed by the Altadena and Pacific Palisades fires? 🤔
Capitalism is now is so optimized that any chance to a replace worker will be taken. An economy works when it workers make enough to consume the output. If many people are not doing anything and not getting paid then what? Everyone assume the other guy will lose their job.
Yep the global economy is cooked I am of the same timeline Doesn’t mean foom and AI that kills us all, but AI that doesn’t make mistakes and can do jobs remote workers can do You’ll even be able to zoom & message and call them Energy usage will be less than folk think
The AGI problem is not what it seems. I think that we'll make progress, but the downstream issues are being ignored. For people with super high agency, it will be tool, but for the rest of humanity it will turn them in to lotus eaters. What the point of thinking when AGI can…
This will the fight of the next few years, here and in Europe. What is a nation? For whom does it exits?
🚨 I just introduced the Birthright Citizenship Act! This bill will build on President Trump’s executive order and codify these critical reforms into law. It’s time to END the exploitation of loopholes in our immigration system.
Game theorizing Deportations of Illegals... Let the states have the ability to do it, it will become a competition between for who has done the most. Politics is all about optics.... We were fools to be so lax on our borders and our visa policies. It's going to take great…
For all wondering about the Roman salute... This was painted in 1784. We don't have any text explicitly that mention the physical action. They do mention saluting, but not how it done.
Is that not the American Dream?
Trump just told half a billion Indian men that the only way they'll get their American dream is by marrying American women. The Wignats are about to witness something they hadn't before.
Yes, we knew in the 80's...
Were any “golden ages” in the past declared before they happened? Genuine question.
It is getting harder and harder to find non-AI generated pictures. Soon we won't even know if we are real...
