On April 27th, 2017, R. Waltzman presented testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, about the "Weaponization of Information" and the "Need for Cognitive Security". The report can be viewed on the RAND Corporation's website...

I've been thinking about Ted Kaczynski's manifesto, lately, after his unfortunate suicide in prison. I've also been considering Joseph Bronski's recent critique of it: https://www.josephbronski.com/p/a-critique-of-the-unabombers-ideology It's rather telling that Joseph's argument essentially...

When I was a kid, I was dimly aware of the Internet of Things. Telecom researchers were always going on about it back in the mid-2000s, and it started being adopted as an actual principle around the time smartphones showed up. People were talking about cramming sensors and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth...

Remember all those arguments I had with Gamesguy, and how he always personally attacked me for my views? Well, how are things looking, now? Who was right, in the end? Let's find out. AI Automation will make human creative effort obsolete. By the 2040s, there will be no game development...

https://unherd.com/2022/11/the-truth-about-eco-fascism/ A very insightful article by old-school green Paul Kingsnorth, who expertly articulates the real problem with the modern green movement; it's a hollowed out shell that acts as an excuse for more technocracy.

A leaked memo has shown that Bank of America hope that conditions for American workers get even worse: https://theintercept.com/2022/07/29/bank-of-america-worker-conditions-worse/ The problem with capitalism is that profit maximization has nothing to do with assuring people a high quality of...

I was reading this article, and it peeled up an old scab of mine. As always, SJWs fail to grasp what people actually mean when they say that they like a story because it’s “apolitical”. What we actually mean by that is we prefer stories where the moral isn’t loaded into a bunker buster and...

If you stand back and look at the shape of the world in the past twenty years, nothing really makes any sense at all. Our leaders sanctioning the deaths of nearly a million people in Iraq seems like disproportionate retribution for the few thousand who died on 9/11. Afghanistan was always a...

Fair warning. What follows is laced with a fair bit of profanity. I’m a sailor, and given how much the topic angers me, it’s basically impossible to keep it in. I used to consider myself pretty left-wing a decade ago. I didn’t like the wars in the Middle East, full stop. I didn’t think it was...

Watching the election drama this year has made me decide that democracies are lame as fuck. They keep you in suspense for weeks and weeks, wondering what the hell the outcome is going to be. Voting is complete bullshit. Someone using a pencil to fill in a blank spot on a sheet of paper? Anyone...

Doesn't anyone find it a little eerie how closely this Klaus Schwab/WEF/Great Reset business matches those posts I always used to make on SpaceBattles? I always used to make threads about a hypothetical future society where automation replaced human labor, the price system was abolished, people...

Specifically, this article, which he has now published on Substack instead: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/article-on-joe-and-hunter-biden-censored I’ve always liked Glenn for his anti-establishment takes. Very strange that he had to leave the media organization that he, himself, founded...

The real problem with governments in the West is not elected officials. It is the armies of unelected “third way” liberal bureaucrats who grease the wheels of the new soft tyranny. The existence of their jobs depends upon the ignorance of the public. If the Average Joe knew even a fraction of...

You know, I fucking hate political correctness. "The problem with lyrics stems from a primitive belief in this country that there are certain words in our language that will corrupt you instantaneously the moment they are uttered into the atmosphere. I mean, come on. Let's be reasonable about...

Describe the type of person who holds the following views: There’s too much censorship from moral authoritarians. Globalism disenfranchises people and leads to abuses of labor rights. We ought to put an end to stifling bureaucratic institutions that threaten our way of life. The banker cartels...

That’s sort of why my ideal society has always been a sort of post-scarcity “automated society” that does away with our current economics and politics entirely; a computerized or “cyberbernized” society that needs no human input to operate. We could break the pendulum if we had a means to create...

Too many normies. Way, way too many normies. I’ve been browsing since the days of Dialup, on fucking 56k. America Online, NetZero, Juno, and so on. I remember when people back then, people who’d been around since the 2400 baud era, thought that we were the invaders. Apparently, we ruined Usenet...
