Being in Greece at this moment has me resonating history with our current moment on the rise and dangers of immoral power and disregard for justice in America. When power/strength/security are the goal, justice becomes irrelevant. Atheniens = Republicans Melians = Democrats

Someone asked me earlier why I don’t do more than AI, and the answer is that every time I look deeper into AI I see more evidence that this is a massive, unbelievable failure, propped up by webs of debt and ignorance, private capital fully believes there’s massive AI demand that does not exist.

In Feb/25, Jim Jordan called Canada's proposed (not passed) Bill C63 as an "Orwellian thoughtcrime bill [...] if a judge determines that the individual might say something “likely to foment detestation or vilification of an individual or group of individuals[.]”" I'm sure we'll hear from him soon.

I completely agree with everything you are saying. Is the investment model ideal ? No... But it is what most of the world is using as a means to fund retirement income... so people can retire. Again, my original point was a critique of how Alberta managed/mismanaged their natural resources.

Might as well be speaking in tongues if it's just about the speech and not about the content of the speech.
Sam Fujiyama (@ayre.ca)
Charlie Kirk was not a good faith actor. He excelled at using arrogance & disrespect in the guise of debate as a means to promulgate divisive/bigoted Christian fundamentalist viewpoints. He could have done better in this debate having a college education which he thought was such a "scam".

I'm not advocating for extraction based economies... Just criticizing how Alberta/Canada squandered theirs.
Sam Fujiyama (@ayre.ca) reply parent
Would you rather have had the majority of profit from the oil go to private companies like in Alberta ? My point is that the public has seen very little benefit from extraction profits. Alberta itself has +$6 billion debt and extremely strained social services. At least Norway invested it.
