On the long term, anthropological warfare is a clever idea... but it's probably a little too optimistic to think you can implement with just one app. The CCP/tiktok hysteria feels overblown to me - public education is what constit

I think (for obvious reasons) people should really stop blaming the Talmud for everything - Jules Michelet is probably more to blame for the modern prevalence of the Ius primae noctis belief, XIXth century republicanism too had more than it

By the way, notice how they pivoted from "false information" to "misinformation" years ago. It's transparently hilarious.

Both are almost unavoidable when your management layers grow beyond a certain level. Most of the complexity, inefficiency and the related failures in today corporate and institutional world is driven by too much management. The map has beco

Wholeheartedly agree. And we shouldn't stop at Google : a large part of western capitalism in 2023 looks pretty much like a dystopian landscape out of a cyberpunk novel. It's a democratic nightmare in the making.

Not gonna lie, I was expecting something more in-depth, like the complete history of manga translation from the Studio Proteus/Toren Smith era and before, to now.

Sorry for the tangent, but reading your message reminded me of early-2000s literally websites dedicated modernist/magic realism/interstitial fiction, like The Modern Word. Now that's an internet I miss.

"The master and Margarita" really bites hard in its satirical view of Moscow under the Soviets. One of my favorite funny books.

At this point, they don't even need to brainwash anybody - they will just 49/3'd the law and say "xxxx it" to the parliament.

We are on the brink of an AI revolution, which mean Intelligence will become a commodity. In comparison, credentials will have even more value than ever. Supply vs demand.

This. Macron knows perfectly what he is doing, and why, and for what objective and for whom benefit. The guy was dancing in an Elton John concert when the cities were burning.

Ruling classes are always very concerned about appearing to be "moral", because a large part of what legitimize their domination overs us peons depends on it.

Decision makers are politicians, their job is to take the most politically efficient decision according to data. Deciding if it was the best decision to take or not is the job of historians.

Yes, this is precisely the problem.

Already been doing it for years, implicitely, by making my code as unreadable as possible. But now I can justify it by saying I'm doing Science.

Not sure your analogy stands from a corporate standpoint.

An old classic but too many indices can be harmful too.

I'm convinced the future will have IP, that the IP houses will use AI to generate an infinite number of properties, copyright them, and use them to rob blind any creator daring enough to try something ;p

I'm pretty interested and fascinated in all the efforts that go into making sure it lies as convincingly as us.

It will happen sooner than later, as the fees will go to the copyright mafia industry rather than to the artists.

Rote memorization messed me so bad it made me miss my first year of elementary school. Without going phonics thereafter I would probably have ended up as completely illiterate before middle school.

It's not really a secret that a lot of white collar jobs are bullshit jobs - if all blue collar jobs were to stop working, society would collapse overnight. Not so much with white collar jobs. We got a taste of that with the various lo

Yep. It's no longer a rant when a recognizable pattern emerges. (and I don't think they are personnally incompetent - quite the contrary; but in my experience, it's the managerial process that is often designed to generate in

To be fair, binge drinking (and its share of drawbacks) when celebrating military victories was very much a big feature of Macedonian culture.

Zoning laws are a great way to implement social segregation without explicitely saying it too loudly, I guess that's the reason they are so popular in "free" and "open" societies.

Terrible advice. One year of lazing around and playing videogames is a good way to lose any self-discipline you would been building up to this point. There is nothing toxic in working to improve yourself and/or building projects you ar
