If the game is good, who gives a shit

Of course, the only game I play is "Red Alert 2," sooo...

[01/02] A large UK union will spend some money on publicly promoting a few specific policy issues, instead of giving it to Labour: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/sep/17/unite-leader-sharon-graham-labour-has-to-shift-on-key-policies Not all of these policies are good. One of them is to continue developing more offshore oilfields, to extract oil that the world cannot safely burn or make into more plastic. I am in favor of a well-managed green transition, but trying to demand it by overdrawing the carbon budget is environmental terrorism.

Why do it backwards? Let them specialize in college instead.

The real problem is that a high school education is nearly worthless, and that most people do not even need that much schooling.

School is not fun for most people. Most jobs require a fifth grade education.

Humanity does this time and again; it is simply our hubris, narcissism, solipsism, individualism, and egotism at work.

We decide that reality does not work the way we want, so we "force" it through the labor of others... this then makes our task almost entirely the quest to control others.

At that point, the control backfires as people rebel.

When humans demand that there be one truth, value, or communications for all humans, they are really simply expressing solipsism: "everyone be like me so I can control you."

Property rights simply mean being invested in the future of something. If no one owns it, it gets exploited.

"ESG investors, especially foundations and endowments, have shunned fossil-fuel investment. This has allowed the remaining investors to demand and receive higher returns. Energy-company survivors have used the lower risks and predictable cash flows associated with the fracking revolution to develop a traditional business paradigm emphasizing total return to shareholders over bold risk taking."

No one. That is the secret.

The narrative consists of easy lies people tell each other that, because they are popular, become the accepted answers.

Usually you do not bail out of a plane that can keep flying... unless you cannot control it.

They're getting hacked.

Reduce cost of living for normal people and fewer will sell sex.

There is a manipulative factor in how miserable jobs are and how expensive life is.

"Is it classist to shut out basic economy customers? Probably, and cutting them off from the lounge isn’t the only thing Delta is doing that looks classist."

The Left finally talks about their actual goal: obliterating social class.

I guess I wax hippie here but I think it makes sense for us to have every human race thrive in parallel.

This requires ethno-nationalism. With that, we have our future to work on and can stop dodging our problems by meddling abroad.

I am not a fan of National Socialism either. This has impacted my career as a writer on the off-mainstream Right.

However, the solution is to accept it, debate it, and suggest something better.

I consider the Nazis no worse than the Communists, fascists, or theocrats. There are many missteps on the path to human civilization.
