  • By allowing our politicians a seat at the table you’re opening yourself up to more harm.

    Isolate us, make the voting public feel the consequences of their actions. Respond to tariffs with tariffs on red states. Sanction administration official of the inevitable human rights abuses that are coming. Call out the lies of our Government openly and with evidence.

    This isn’t going to change if there are never any consequences for the people who’re doing this as well as their supporters. Revoke the visas of our oligarchs, limit their travel, stop doing business with their companies. Create incentives for educated Americans to immigrate to healthier democracies and ban our social media companies before they finish poisoning your country as well.


  • There’s an equally rabid and irrational type of person who identifies as being left of center and they, like their mirror image, would rather burn the whole world down than to compromise.

    We have to learn to recognize these toxic people for what they are, an impediment. Just because they’re using left-wing memes instead of right-wing memes doesn’t mean that they’re our ally.

    Populist movements require everyone, this necessarily means that we have to reach the people who’re not the swastika flying white supremacists and the first step is to recognize that most voters are not the extremists and labeling everyone that voted for Trump as a ‘Nazi’ is helping drive division and plays into the hands of the elites that seek to divide us.











  • The walls get hot, you absorb the heat from the walls with a fluid. You use the fluid to heat water, you use the steam to drive a turbine, you use the turbine to turn a permanent magnet inside of a coil of wire. In addition, you can capture neutrons using a liquid metal (lithium) which heats the lithium, which heats the walls, which heats the water, which makes steam, which drives a turbine, which generates electricity.

    If you poured water onto them they wouldn’t explode. 100 million degrees Celsius doesn’t mean much when the mass is so low compared to the mass of the water.



  • It’s because your data is orders of magnitude more valuable if it has enough information to identify you as a person.

    They can’t sell it to data brokers for a lot of money if those data brokers can’t find any information to link that data with their existing profiles.

    Surveillance capitalism 101, companies obtain the most value by enabling other corporations to spy on every detail of your life.

    If you can’t use a service anonymously, without it being linked to your actual person, then you can either be okay with living with the panopticon, or don’t use the service.

    Discord has been slowing rolling this out over the years. It started being offered as a “spam protection” feature and eventually it’ll be a requirement to have an account.

    They depend on the masses of people who will trade all of their privacy in exchange for not having to learn how to use VoIP software, video streaming software or IM software.
