It came to my mind I was watching the latest Timothy Snyder's lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dy7Mrqy1AY&t=545s&ab_channel=YaleCourses

Communism and longtermism have so much in common. And I originally fell for "effective altruism" and "Doing good better" , it's so logical...

This article is incredible and spot on. There is really very little daylight between Soviet lies, past and present, and the lies the PayPal Mafia have been telling for two decades. Longtermism is just another euphemism for sociopathy.

Well done arming your son with the information he needed to come to the right conclusions on his own. And high five to him for figuring it out and being grown up enough to admit it. .💙

Asked over at your site, what about the three page letter of intent I copied you? Anything more on that?

Thank you for sharing. My 19 YO step-son and his friends think Elon is so cool. He does not understand the deep harm Elon is representing. I am glad but also sad that I am not the only one seeing this in young men.

I am pleased Tim Ryan has gathered all the information needed on how the seeders seed. I am saddened that Ryan will no longer be with us in Congress, however.

If I were the Republicans, I would try too to wipe all the history of that seat off the books.

"Traficant died on September 27, 2014, following a tractor accident at his farm in Green Township, Ohio."

Guess, I should be posting on the newer thread regarding American Districting Election History, political economy.

That is so foreign to my brain, how they interpreted communism. Longtermism is just not what I took from The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. Thank you so much for helping us understand what is happening. More depth, what you provide, is so appreciated. Thank you for sharing such a personal letter.

I think they are trapped in the irrationality of rationality.

As Ritzer conjectured, "The ultimate proof of the irrationality of rationality lies at the end of World War II: rational systems undertaken to construct an ideal utopia for humankind have led, ironically, to our ability to develop the technology of the atomic bomb that makes the ultimate extinction of homo sapiens possible. William Shirer (1959)..."

Unfortunately, for them, they cannot take the rest of us hostage in their infinite looping Habermas psychosis.

"Starting in the early 1990s, right-wing think tanks in both Germany and the United States began promoting conspiratorial narratives about critical theory. "

Reading a write up about (Theil and Mercer), had remembered something Karp said (whom I can actually follow in his return to Habermas.) Don't get me wrong, I do not think it was Karp (gamed perhaps). Theil and Mercer always made most researched and capable.

Regardless, it is even fascism, for them to even think they have a right to take the rest of us hostage and reused pons in their weaponized gaming.
