Gregory's Server“Four very powerful billionaires—Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreessen—are creating a world where “nothing is true and all is spectacle.””
Not wrong. What shall we do about that?

 Congratulations. You ask the *one* question I always hope somebody asks.. ...besides post, and favorite, and boost, and thumbs up, and reply guy... *What do we do?* hmu when somebody has a list. I hope there'll be boxes I can help put a check in. @mousey Character flaw on my part. :-) I get very bored when people lament that everything is terrible. I wake up when somebody says "let's do XYZ maybe it helps with problem ABC". @J12t Wow, a passing mention that Thiel's formative years were in Swakopmund, historically a Nazi refuge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swakopmund  @J12t ask THE CULTURE for Knife Missiles and Slap Drones and put them on a reservation  @J12t the solution is simple. DON'T LOOK. Not up, down, or sideways. But naturally they will make their spectacle shiny, attractive, spectacular, but ultimately just a big gilded turd. So viewer beware. Seems to me the obvious remedy would be for us to create a world in which the truth prevails, and spectactle happens, but only occasionally, and just for fun. The #fediverse is a good start, I would think. What's the next step?  @J12t With regard to the Oligarchs greedily bringing an end to our Planet, some might say that 229 years between Reigns of Terror is long enough.  |
@J12t
We created them. Now the box is open.
