Feelings Don’t Matter

I am not talking about emotions, love, joy, fear, anger, etc, these do matter. I'm talking about felling smart, feeling strong, feeling right, feeling that something is good, right, wrong, or bad. These feelings don't matter, being and facts are what matter. Being smart, being strong, being right, that something is factually good, right, wrong,...

Capitalism’s Fatal Flaw

Capitalism is about the movement of capital, labor, goods, services, and money from person to business, business to person, business to business, and person to person.

“AI” is Already Failing

At the risk of giving techno fetishists a "told ya so!" I'm going to call it: The algorithms falsely advertised as "AIs" are already failing. I've already pointed how unimpressive "AI art" is, I've put the hype for "AI" in perspective of past tech failures, and I've pointed out how it is doomed. The doom...

What if Your Values Are Evil?

Religion, tradition, and how one was raised, are nothing more than excuses for immoral behavior. These are not reasons, these are not logical or rational, they are just pathetic excuses.

Don’t Be Grateful.

I've heard this from people in my family that, people should be grateful for what they have. Be grateful you have a job even if it's a shit job, be grateful you have a roof over your head, be grateful you woke up this morning. No. I'm not, and I shouldn't be. First: people kill...
