They negotiated no board membership. And that they’ll vote with the board. Except when they don’t want to which is meaningless but symbolic I guess?

What I’ve found myself saying far too often is that we laugh so that we don’t cry.

It’s mostly TV I think. NCIS, CSI and the vast number of various Law & Order series has done more to white wash the reputation of police and just about everything else.

The cops on every level will be giddy to help commit a fascism. Police have never been big on knowing the law or people’s rights. But maintaining a power hierarchy and unleashing one-sided violence? That is their calling in this world

This is correct and true for all people. The “standard of social acceptability” is actually a very low bar to clear. The fact that some people complain about it just reflects on who they are, because it’s not hard to meet, they just don’t want to try.

Today’s friendly reminder that laws are arbitrary and subject to the whims of those who write them. Anyone can be made “illegal” if powers that be wish to do so. You see it today with mass revocations of otherwise valid visas in the US. You saw it in Germany in the 1930s.

Few who behave recklessly think about the consequences in the moment. Hence the recklessness. Tacking on consequences won’t reduce anything. It’s why tough on crime policies don’t actually reduce crime. I’m bot saying there shouldn’t be consequences but those are punitive, not preventive.

You can actually design streets and sidewalks to force drivers to reflexively slow down without reducing the actual volume of cars that pass through an area. There’s policy choices that can be implemented to make things safer that aren’t just “more cops”

I don’t know how to empirically measure evil, but the US has some tremendously vile behavior in its past. What’s happening now is terrible but I don’t think it’s worse than Jim Cow, Slavery, etc. People don’t change but you’d hope by now we’d at least know better

It’s interesting to see the more and more frequent stories of people being driven to psychosis by a validation machine. Because it’s a pretty solid replication of what the uber-wealthy experience. But instead of an LLM, it’s lackeys paid to do basically the same thing
